Vanilla cake batter and lots of gummy bears! Kind of disappointed I'm not getting the banana like some reviewers are, haha. On me, the batter note is the strongest once it dries down. When it's wet, the gummy bears is basically the only thing I can smell. I also get a little bit of a bubblegum smell too, but it doesn't overpower the cake batter. Pretty good throw as well, I really like this.

This is like a sister scent to Spirit Fingers: it's bubblegum, but there's a peppery, spiced background that sets it apart from your regular bubblegum perfume. As is the case with almost all of my beloved bubblegums, it fades within a couple hours and I'm left with the faintest hint of it on my skin for the rest of the day. I really like it, bubblegum is one of all-time favorite notes so how could I not? Also has a good throw, which is unusual from most of the bubblegum BPAL's I've tried.

This was like a red strawberry slushie from a convenience store. Very syrupy and artificial smelling, but hits the spot if you're craving it. When it fades, it smells like Fun-Dip! I didn't get a whole lot of the musk, it was more fruity on me. Mostly the strawberry, but there was some mango in there too. A scent that is kind of close to this one is 2020 Aesthetic: they both smell artificial to me but 2020 Aesthetic is more on the plasticky scented doll side where Cruor is like a slushie syrup. If the plastic-ness of that scent was disappointing, I think Cruor would be a better fit. While it's still artificial, it's much more foodie. I would have liked some of the currant to appear and more of the musk, but I'm not disappointed in this at all. Maybe with some aging, the strawberry note calms down and I'll get more of those notes.

This smells like strawberry jam on my skin, like a Sufganiyot scent, topped with sweetened shredded coconut. It turns into a strawberry cream cheese frosting scent when it's dry. It morphed quite a bit on me during the drydown. At times it smelled like bubblegum, other times it was like the liquid Amoxicillin I had to take as a kid. As it fades, it smells like Kool-Aid. This is my favorite of the 2021 Liliths so far, it's just beautiful no matter what stage it hit and reminds me of so many strawberry heavy BPALs I love like Rattlecans and Sliders or Rope Pulley. If you like jammy scents like the Sufganiyots and BPAL's strawberry note, this is fantastic! The throw is pretty good too.

I never got to try the original Storyville, but wow this is nice! It needed some time to warm up on my skin, because when I first applied it I thought it was good but not spectacular (it also was extremely sweet, close to bubblegum, and no hint of musks for a bit). Now that it has dried down more, it is addicting. I don't smell actual pumpkin in this, but I do smell some vanilla. Reminds me of Smut a little bit since it's sugary sweet and almost boozy. The spices aren't too overpowering, this is more sweetened musk than anything with pumpkin spice in the background. But it doesn't scream like a fall blend to me, so this can definitely be worn any time of year. I think with age, it'll get even more lovely. It doesn't have a huge throw, but honestly I don't mind it. Definitely suggest trying this out if you love a heavily musky scent, I don't think this will disappoint!

It actually resembles peach ice cream on a waffle cone to me! The thick peachy syrup is very sweet, and this is what I wish the peach smelled like in Peach Brandy Snake Oil. The throw is a little low on the skin, and this isn't super duper foodie to me. The wafer note calms down a little and smells close to like if I made banana pudding but used peach slices instead. I enjoyed this, was not expecting it to resemble ice cream at all but I'm loving it regardless.

My first Thirteen scent, and wow I honestly don't know where to begin reviewing this. There's obviously a lot going on and this is a big morpher. It started off as a puppy fur scent, then it went to popcorn, vanilla ice cream cake with lots of icing, and lavender bread within the first few minutes of wear time. It's actually not as sweet as I expected, even with the abundance of foodie notes. It eventually settled to a buttery bread, popcorn, and puppy combo. Which is still good, I am a huge popcorn fan, but I was anticipating more of the super sweet scents to stick around. In the bottle, I could smell just about every scent but the rice, carnations, and honey. But on the skin, I just got around half of the listed notes, and what did show up didn't stick around long enough for me. I think I need to test this more to see if it changes. Resting might also help, because while I do like the smell, I would have rather had the strawberry cereal/cotton candy experience others have had based off of reviews. It's a fun scent to try though. It reminds me of Lab Rat and Carnaval Rat with how much this shifts around.

This is very pretty. Soft, sweet lavender and lots of milky vanilla bean on my skin. The hazelnut comes close to reading as honey dust to me. Doesn't have a good throw, it's very close to the skin and fades a lot after a couple hours. The throw is a bit disappointing, but I still enjoyed it. Would be a nice sleep scent, the combo of the coconut milk and lavender buds makes it very calming!

Dark, unaged Snake Oil and lots of alcohol. Honestly, I have never smelled or tasted brandy so to my nose this smells somewhat like wine? There's a hint of peach, not a lot. It's mostly boozy Snake Oil with a sprinkle of peach juice. It's not very sweet, so I would say this is a better fit for people who don't want a heavy peach scent and would rather have a Snake Oil brandy blend. I like it, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite Snake Oil. I wish I got a little more from the peach, but maybe with some aging the brandy note will calm down some.

This smelled horrible on me at first! I guess it was the lichen, I'm not familiar with that note. But it smelled very stinky, like oud? I was so confused because I had heard comparisons to Brood X since these share some notes and I was hoping for it to smell similar to my bottle. But it doesn't. Thankfully, that gross smell goes away in about 15 minutes, but even with it gone I'm still not a big fan of the scent. It's very sharp and woodsy, something that I wouldn't normally reach for. I was hoping for hazelnut and blackcurrant but I didn't get any of that. I hope this will be more wearable for me with some aging! Because I want to like more natural, foresty scents but the woods just smell so harsh to me.

I never got any of the pear from this, it was all powdery chocolate. It smelled closer to milk chocolate instead of white to me, like other reviewers have mentioned. It was okay. I would have liked the pear to show up, but it's still a nice chocolate scent. Even though it didn't read white chocolate to me.

This was much nicer than I anticipated! I'm not a huge fan of ozone scents, but I was intrigued by the violet and patchouli. It smelled very fruity on me, which I wasn't really expecting since the lychee seemed low on the notes. It was definitely the lychee that I smelled, but there was also sort of like a mix of grapes and plums? Best way I can describe it is that it matches the label: a very purple scent. Interesting. Eventually those notes softened a bit and then I finally got the violet and patchouli I was looking for. It was still a very fruit heavy scent on me even as the other notes started to peak through. The only notes that didn't show up much were the ozone and oakmoss. Everything else, especially the benzoin and vetiver which I was a little worried about, didn't seem too strong. Pretty good, definitely my favorite ozone scent as of yet. Was not expecting all that fruit so if your skin chemistry is similar to mine and you don't like plums I would avoid this.

On me this was mostly pomegranate, and I couldn't detect the juniper until well after it dried, about 15 minutes. I was very worried that the juniper would overshadow it, but gladly that wasn't the case. It almost gets close to being a soap or shampoo scent? It's a little close to the skin, not a huge throw. I think these work very well together, probably my favorite BPAL pomegranate scent after Pomegranate Sufganiyot! I think I'll be okay with my decant, but if you really love pomegranate I highly recommend this.

Now the mango in here is what I wished Rice Milk and Mango was! The green tea is very subtle, it's mostly a mango single note. But the mango almost smells like candy, it's very sugary? Since it's more mango heavy on me, I think this smells more like mangos splashed with some tea instead of a mango infused tea. Really good, would have liked a stronger tea scent but I am glad it doesn't overpower the mangos.

Definitely agree with others that this is more creamy rice milk than mango. Almost reminds me of a fruity cereal, but like the kind made with real fruit or even a smoothie/smoothie bowl. Mango does get stronger with time, but it still remains a mostly milky scent. If the mango was stronger, this would have been a favorite. It's still good don't get me wrong, but I wish the rice milk wasn't as strong.

Delicious! It's like a slightly burnt (but not inedible, just left in the oven for a couple extra minutes) blackberry pie. If you like pie scents or even sufganiyots from Yules, you will probably love this if you like blackberries! The burnt sugar comes close to smelling like a graham cracker pie crust on me, which is mainly why it reminds me of a pie. The smoky quality is pretty strong, but it doesn't overshadow the berries or the sugar. At first, it's more of a smoky sugary crust scent but the blackberry begins to peek through within a few minutes. One of my favorite duets, do not skip on this if the burnt note doesn't scare you away!

I can see why some people were disappointed in this since it smells a lot like popcorn. But as someone who loves popcorn scents, this is really good! I wouldn't say it's the best popcorn scent because I do get some of the foresty scents with it. Smells like a popcorn garland left out in the forest. On me, the popcorn does eventually fade, but it still leaves a slightly buttery and salty scent in the background. I didn't get a Froot Loops scent that others got, but I think I would have still liked this if it smelled like that on me.

I don't do layering a whole ton but here's some descriptions of ones I have done. Splatter Comedy, Formula SGHAN3: Birthday Cake, Snow Bunny '08, Pop! - A cinnamon cake left out in a forest and covered in snow Dead Leaves and Coffee Beans, The Kingdom of Sweets, Peppermint Cream Cupcake, Do You Like Clowns? - The Witch's house from Hansel and Gretel in the fall after she added fresh peppermints and gumdrops

This review is for the 2019 version! Honeyed Snake Oil alright, super sweet and slightly waxy. I do see a resemblance to O, but I think the honey in that one is a lot stronger. The honey in here can resemble honey dust once dry more than the actual thing. Eventually, it just smells like a sweeter Snake Oil with less musk. Not bad at all, but I like regular Snake Oil and other SO blends better.

This is a lovely cocoa cake with a splash of black coffee. I don't see much of a resemblance to Miskatonic University that some reviewers are mentioning, but maybe that's because I have only tried aged imps of that. The coffee actually isn't that strong on me, which is fine with me since I'm drowning in coffee scents over here. It's very subtle and I'm getting more of the cake and vanilla.

This is very green. That "protoplasmic greenness" is the strongest note for me. It reads like aftershave and lush green plants. The lime booze also contributes to the greenness of this. It resembles smoking a cigar right as you get out of the shower or something like that. The tobacco and aftershave just smells odd to me. Not bad, but if the aftershave was fainter I think it would have been more enjoyable. Not for me, but it's interesting!

This could belong in the Mad Tea Party collection! It's how I image this scene from Alice in Wonderland smells like. It does smell a little like dryer sheets but softer. This stays close to my skin sadly but it's a beauty. I didn't get a lot of honey, mostly the white florals and amber. Very soft and comforting. Might upgrade this, it's just a very nice floral that isn't too overpowering.

Clean and fresh citrus, really like it. I'm not super familiar with yuzu, but I really like it here. It's super sweet and pairs nicely with the tart pink grapefruit. The musk stays in the background until about an hour where it takes over the grapefruit. Don't think I'll upgrade, but it's a very calming scent. Helped with my stress today that's for sure

I can see why this is so sought after! Once it was first applied, it resembled Bitches Love Unicorns a lot. Just a nice mix of sugary sweetness. The strawberry reminds me of jelly initially, like maybe in a sufganiyot (I have not tried Strawberry Sufganiyot so I'm unsure if the notes are similar). The lime adds a really nice slightly sour edge to all this sweetness, and I love it paired with the strawberry. Cotton candy is the one note I can't really pick up until a while after it's dried down. I love it and wish I had more. I'd say it's heavier on the fruits than the cotton candy, but it's definitely worth trying if you love any of these.
