Sweaty, cow patty oud with strong metallic and stone notes and a sour edge from the myrrh. I pick up hints of vellum and ink initially, but it all blurs together as the scent settles on my skin. Now the ink note is getting stronger, and the stable smell is receding and I'm not mad at it, though freshly applied this is not for the faint of heart. The oud slowly morphs into something deep and animalic, reminding me more of the smell of a horse and less of the stable. I am curious to how this smells to others on me.

In the bottle I get a tiny bit of cherry, amber musk and boozy vanilla. On my skin, the cherry shows up briefly and is a luxardo sort of cherry. Still very musk and vanilla forward. I think I need to come to terms with my skin absolutely eating cherry scents as this happens to every single one. On the right person I think this would be really sultry and dark without being too foody. That person just isn't me, sadly.

This smells like peach rings with a hefty dose of BPALS red amber. I was hoping for something a bit more earthy with a more realistic peach.

Pom flavored sweet tarts. Now it's floral sweet tarts. It settles into tart peony. I think this would be refreshing for summer.

This is different from the oil to my nose. The poinsettia is there in the background always, but isn't forward enough for me. The jasmine is flatter...more papery? This tickles my sinuses in a way the oil doesn't unfortunately.

Black Pine and Incense Smoke Atmosphere Spray
Biocarbons replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Atmosphere
This has cumin or paprika in it or something similar because I can smell pine, and incense, and spicy lime corn chip... actually now it's black pine and cool ranch Doritos. I'm not mad at it....but I'm going to set my decant sit for a bit and see if it smells different with a little aging. -
This is definitely chocolate and peppermint vanilla. Like, the waxy chocolate ice cream parlours dip ice cream in. The peppermint is a little sharp for this to read like mint and chocolate chip ice cream to me, but it's in the ball park.

LOUD black Cherry over vanilla. Black Cherry syrup over vanilla. In a good way. The pastry is a barely there background note.

Incense and Blackcurrant Sufganiyot Atmosphere Spray
Biocarbons replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Atmosphere
Opens with a big, loud vanilla HELLO and then it's all about the jammy blackcurrent and incense. This has more blackcurrent to my nose than the oil did. -
Waxy frankincense and myrrh. It almost smells like it has tobacco in it. I'm going to age this a while and see what it does. It doesn't smell like the midnight mass oil to me, but my bottle of oil is really aged.

2009 Version This smells to me like a horse stable in need of a clean, and some gunpowder.

Spicy, woody pink florals with a bit of neroli over the top. There's a smoky quality to it that I don't like. This is one of those scents where the combination of the smoke and citrus translates to me as air freshener sprayed to cover the stale cigarette smell in a room. As it sits on my skin, the smoke calms down and the clove comes forward then settles and the pink florals bloom. Ok, now it reminds me a bit of gun moll. The mid-2000s version of gun moll. Ultimately this dried down to a clove spiced pink floral with a hint of neroli.

Wet: MOSSY, grassy, vetiver with iron railing poking out haphazardly over oud. This is mostly green oud now. I'm not mad at it, but I want to compare it to ruins of castle Karnstein. Karnstein is sharper and slightly more 'masc' than cemetery.

Wet: wow, I was not expecting this to open with hella koolaid fruity, but here we are. The leather and switches are very light, while this scent is dominated by the musky rice milk, orris, vanilla combo. Ok, now I'm getting more leather. Ultimately this settled into a slightly fruity (currant?), musky porcelain over the traditional Krampus notes of leather and wood.
