Normally I blind bottle foodie scents, but the cotton note gave me a little bit of pause and I opted for a decant of this. Turns out I need not have worried because this is delicious comforting foodie heaven. It smells like warm cookie dough with the faintest hint of something that could be described as cotton and vanilla. This is a full bottle upgrade for sure.

Gorgeous! It’s all the familiar snake goodness with coffee and (to my nose) Tootsie Roll chocolate.

Red Musk, non-sweet pumpkin, and some kind of gorgeous light floral all rolled into one. It’s stunning. I can only imagine how nicely it will deepen with age!

OK, on me this is all Gummy Bear and pretty close to the skin. I’m not detecting any of the other notes yet. It reminds me of the same note in Sour Gummi Snake Oil only minus the SO. If you enjoy that note that I think you will love this.

I am also testing this today despite receiving it only a few days ago. So far I’ve got mainly a blast of “baked strawberry” if I had to put my finger on it. There’s something bread like in the mix, and delicious jam. In many ways this is what I always want the Sufganiyots to be. (If you like those, you need to try this!) I agree with the above that it’s a cheerful scent. I suspect it will only get better as it settles!

Do you like PSL? Do you like the way a PSL smells but don’t necessarily drink them? (That’s me!) This is the scent for you. It’s pretty straightforward, like sticking your nose into a fresh hot cup of PSL. It’s yummy. It lasts a few hours and then fades, so fear not on overpowering anyone with this. I love it.

This is amazing! I couldn’t wait to try even though it arrived yesterday. It’s a vanilla-honey-cream when first applied but immediately a note of early fall campfire appears. The scorched marshmallow becomes stronger as it dries and I assume the “sticks” are contributing to the overall campfire feel. After a few hours I’m left with scorched vanilla marshmallow. I love it.

I did not expect to love this since I usually don't like overwhelmingly floral scents, but I got an empty of this from a lovely seller and fell in love. Have since full-bottled it. It's such a sweet, creamy, delicate scent. As others have said, not powdery at all. Just a gentle delicate creamy flower. Absolutely gorgeous!

I'm totally unfamiliar with Psionicist, but I absolutely love this Snake! It's crisp, summery, and just the right amount of Snake sweetening the chill of the mints and adding a layer of sugary vanilla (but not too much!) Truly what others have said - this is the perfect summer Snake.

This arrived yesterday and I’m already in love. Do you like Amber? Do you like sugars that aren’t overly sweet? Then you need this. It’s a heavenly rich Amber (almost Lace-like) sweetened but not overpowered by the sugar cane. It reminds me of Amber & Lace or Amber & Cardamom; almost a companion piece to them. I absolutely love this.

I received this as a PIF from an absolutely lovely BPALer. I am loving it! On my skin it smells like smouldering catnip incense. It's not overpowering and I own nothing else like it, which is a treat!

Wet, it's beautiful fresh cut lilacs and grass with a light undertone of sandalwood. As it dries it fades to a really nice cedar/floral blend. I don't detect any cardamom. It's very soft and has low throw.

My decant is full of specks and sludge and I love that! This is a smoky, dirty cacao. Both simple and elegant. I had a feeling I'd love this but I did a decant just to be sure. Now I am sure.

Oh gosh, I wanted to love this and almost blind-bottled it because the bottle art is so amazing. Alas...it's lovely, but just a bit too heavy for me. It's got a cologne-y undertone and smells exactly like some powdered makeup the matriarchs in my life wore when I was growing up. There's a little bit of a graphite undertone, too. It's definitely not what I expected based on the notes. I can see how it would be described as snuggly. ETA: someone else mentioned the staying power of this and they're right, it's legit. I woke up this morning and could still smell the spot where I'd applied it.

This is a very bright, fleshy, juicy peach. I get a little of the apricot and sugar as well. No amber to my nose. Definitely want to let it rest and try again in a few weeks. UPDATED TO ADD: months later I officially love this. It's a great warm-weather scent, absolutely lovely. I still don't detect any amber but the sugared juicy apricot-peach is great.

Home run! I usually love the Gingerbread series but was hesitant about this for some reason. I don't really know why - but I just got a partial bottle and any fears I may have had are gone. The champagne, gingerbread, and lemon are all there and delightful. The sugar is light but giving it a slight (slight!) cookie undertone. I am obsessed. This is going to be a really nice spring/summer Gingerbread blend.

I had no idea what Bluebonnets would smell like but I tried a decant and it's really lovely. It's hard to describe a floral really (at least to me it is) but I can say that it is lovely, not overpowering, almost with a sweet pea or plumeria undertone? It is really pleasant and I keep sniffing where I applied.

I've been dying to try this one for a while and got it as a frimp in a decant circle - a great surprise!! I get a strong blast of coconut on application, but as it's drying the musk is coming out. The roses are very faint but they're the fresh-cut type, like the scent when you cut their stems. I'm absolutely loving this.

I really wasn't sure what Lotus or Lotus petals would smell like, but I got a decant since I love Amber, Mallow, and vanilla cream. Well, I'm loving this. It's creamy and warm, floral without being screechy. It's actually reminding me of my favorite undertones in Poinsettia Gown, minus that one's strong jasmine. Vaginal Tales is absolutely lovely and I think I may upgrade to a full bottle.

Blackened patchouli, sweet vetiver, labdanum, and honey. I forgot what the notes of this were when I grabbed it to wear this morning, but I've been in love with it all day and now I see why. It's like a slightly sharper cousin to this year's Zoe and the Goat weenie. When first applied it's a blast of smoky patchouli with a hint of vetiver peeking out. As it dries down, the vetiver becomes a bit stronger and the honey appears, as does a scent that I assume is the labdanum. These mix with the patchouli and create a really complex and lovely scent. I love it both freshly applied and hours later. I'm probably gonna need a backup bottle.

I don’t know how I’d missed this scent for so long because it’s right up my alley. It’s pure crème brûlée rum cheesecake goodness from start to finish. Great both on skin and in my locket.

This is soooooo interesting. It smells like cigarette-drenched Goat's Milk. I also detect the cedarwood, the honey and the tobacco and I think the oak bark too. I definitely keep going back to whiff it more. I don't smell the cardamom yet, but this is a really complex scent and while it leans gourmand, I can see it working for those who don't like GOURMANDs !!11!!1 None of the notes dominate - the blending is stellar.

On my skin, I get an immediate burst of lovely candy-like cherry almond, but within an hour it settles into what I can only describe as strongly reminiscent of a certain conventional perfume with the word 'sugar' in the title. I don't know why this isn't working on me, but it's not and I suspect it has to be the mimosa? I love literally every other note to the point that I'd blind-bottled this, but it becomes plasticky and cloying. I don't smell any hay absolute or bourbon cream. I'm giving it another week to settle, but this one may be a sad skin chemistry fail.

Vibrant, glowing caramelized ginger, red pepper, wild tobacco, and cinnamon burning through a smoldering red musk.  I’ve worn this a few times now. It’s very spicy upon application; full of ginger and cinnamon tempered by the musk and tobacco. After a bit the cinnamon and ginger fade, leaving a gorgeous red musk behind. That’s mostly what’s left on my hair, and I love it. It’s a very elegant scent. It’s strong, so a light-handed application should suffice.

I love it. I mostly get the dusty lavender and cookies. I can't detect the leather, but I like leather so even if it pops up that wouldn't be an issue. This is lovely and delicious; to my senses a soft and soothing blend recalling a bag of cookies you found in your pocket (or backpack!) that are still good.
