Very dark and strong coffee with barely any spice. It's there, but it just smells like Snake Oils spices and not pumpkin spice. I can't smell the SO vanilla, but I think with more aging it'll show up more and sweeten up the coffee note. It's a lot darker than I expected, I thought this would be more Snake Oil than coffee but it's still really good!

Tooth achingly sweet vanilla with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg. The vanilla fades some when dry, but this stays heavily spiced. I actually can't smell coffee in this at all. I do like it, but I wish the vanilla stayed longer. And I wish I got some coffee from this, even if it was just coffee beans! I think PSL: Pumpkin Snake Latte from the 2021 Weenies was a better fit for me, but if you think that scent is too much coffee, this would layer wonderfully with it!

This was predominantly lavender and motor oil. A touch of leather and oak in the background. As it dried down, the lavender faded some and become more of a motor oil and leather scent. I like leather, but sometimes black leather can be too much for me. In this, I think the motor oil really compliments it. I wish this motor oil was in It's All So Damn Beautiful! I'm really enjoying this, it's so much nicer than I thought it'd be!

I wanted to love this so badly. I enjoy all these notes, especially patch and rose, so this was one of the Liliths that had me super excited. And while it's not a bad scent by any means, it just didn't live up to my hype. Rose was there, but it was very faint. I think I got more of the currant over the rose. And I could smell the patchouli, but it was literally just a smidge like the description says on me. Very close to the skin, and it went powdery but I blame that on the rose. Smelled closer to a fancy soap, not this lush dark fruity rose I expected. Might retest this in the future to see if aging improves this.

Blackberry wine heavy on me, which is perfect because this was the note that called out to me the most. There's hints of the lavender and plum. Even though this is a wine scent on me, it's still pretty sweet and not too boozy. Honestly, it initially smells closer to a juice scent when I first applied it but it dried down and smelled more like wine to me. As it starts to fade, it gets musky and powdery. This is really nice, I am very happy with how this one turned out!

I am very pleased with this, I was a little nervous that the oud would be terrible but it's actually lovely! Sugary, smoky florals at first, but it pretty quickly changes to a darker leather and oud scent with hints of the tea, lavender, oakmoss, and musk. There's also a faint metallic note I'm picking up, not sure what note could be causing it. Even with the leather and oud coming out more later, it's still a sweet lavender heavy scent. I'm really happy it's like that because while I do like some darker scents, this makes this more wearable for me and I didn't want those notes to overshadow the lavender that I enjoy in Liliths. They smell nothing alike, but it kind of reminds me of Wednesday's Child is Full of Woe's description: A little kid’s interpretation of a gothy goth perfume. Except I'd replace little kid with teenager. If you want to try an oud scent, this is nice! I honestly wish this was the first oud I tried since it works so nice in this.

I didn't get any blood at all, just mint initially. I swear it smells like a floral note mostly during this wet stage, I just can't pinpoint what flower it is. This isn't like a sugary sweet mint, it's actually really nice. After some time drying, I finally can notice the blood. To me, it resembles the blood in Stage Blood. It's slightly fruity but musky. The ice note takes over most of the fruit-like notes. Not sure why it sort of smells like snow covered flowers at times, but I like it! Wish that I got more of the blood over the ice, but I can always layer this with something else.
-
Very interesting scent, it smells like laundry a little bit initially? The laundry like scent doesn't last too long once the charred lavender comes out more during dry down along with the grease. I was hoping the grease note was going to be something like the motor oil note from Baby's First Chainsaw, but it ends up just smelling sort of chalky and petroleum jelly. Not horrible, but was a little disappointed. Not a gross scent by any means, but definitely a little weird and unique. Worth trying if the grease and charred lavender doesn't scare you away. Hoping that the grease scent lessens with aging.
-
Minty lavender. That's basically all it smelled like on my skin. Might just be a skin chemistry fail on my end, will update the next time I wear this if anything changes. It's a good scent, it just didn't turn out like I expected. I was hoping for lots of the iris but I got more lavender instead. And I wasn't expected it to smell minty at all, but it worked really well and ended up becoming a super calming scent.

Dark cherry candy covered in sugar! The steel is very faint on me, I'm getting way more of the cherry and sugar. It does go a little powdery near the end and the cherry morphs from candy to cough syrup. I can see some similarities to Bleeding Walls, but to me this is darker and more candy like. In my experience, Bleeding Walls is more medicinal and while it does go to a candy stage, Nymphae is way sweeter. I prefer the cherry note in this over the one in Jack of Hearts.

The sweet pea in here is strong along with a beautiful buttery vanilla. I'm getting more of the spice but it does amp up some when it's dry. It's very sweet, like a pumpkin pastry next to a vase of fresh sweet pea. Sweet pea is the strongest on me, way stronger than I remember the original being. It's very comforting and sweet, would be nice for sleep! I don't think it's better than the original Mouse's Long and Sad Tale, but it's definitely just as good!

Faint and light honeyed black cherries and carnations, a little powdery. The red clover honey goes sort of musky sweet on me during drydown. It's a sweet scent, close to candy territory, but I think the carnation and and pepper keep it from going in that direction. I don't get a ton of pepper, definitely more carnations. Goes well with the Mad Tea Party line and I'm sure it'd layer nicely with most of them. This is very good and I adore this cherry note!

Sweet musk, sandalwood, buttery pumpkin, and pumpkin spices is what this mainly consists of on me. The pumpkin/pumpkin spices go amazing with Morocco, like they were meant to be lol. The pumpkin doesn't make this foodie at all and doesn't take over the original Morocco, just adds a nice buttery spicy element to an already lovely GC. As it dries more, the pumpkin does fade some and resembles more of regular Morocco but a little sweeter? Agree with others that this is like Jack + Morocco: it's a gorgeous blend and perfect for fall time. An absolute keeper.

The lavender is pretty much in the background for me, but it smells kind of like candied lavender if that a thing? Or just a really sugary lavender. Mostly the bourbon vanilla and cardamom. It started off faint initially, but as it dried down it got stronger. It's pretty and soft, very comforting and would make a nice sleep scent.
-
Bright but powdery strawberry with a sour-ish smelling pineapple. It actually smells kind of like a floral Runts at times, or another fruity type of candy. Peony and rose last the longest on me, the fruits faded pretty quickly and I couldn't detect much of the carnation at all. I like it! Wish that pineapple stuck around longer since it was really nice.

Very strong throw. Lots of vanilla and pumpkin pulp immediately after application, no trace of pumpkin spice at all. The lemon is so strong, like lemon Rice Krispie Treats or the sourest Lemonhead. Pumpkin stays in the background for the most part. Lemon is very tart and sour, which is what I anticipated Lemon-Scented Sticky Bat to smell like on me but that one ended up being more vanilla powdered sugar. Once it's been on the skin for five minutes, the lemon does calm down so I'm able to detect more of the buttery pumpkin. I love that initial stage where it's a super sour lemon, but the dry down is very nice as well. I think I prefer this to the original for now, I was worried initially how good the pumpkin and lemon would be together. But in my case, this was amazing and surpassed my expectations. Kind of wish I got more than just a partial bottle now! Very highly recommended, especially if you're still craving a sour lemon scent but the original left you disappointed with how sweet and faintly lemon it was.

It resembles a sugar cookie with lemon icing more than sour candy to me, in fact this doesn't smell sour at all or like a fresh lemon. The lemon scent itself is pretty faint and powdery, the sugary vanilla is the strongest on me. I still like it though, I think aging just really softened this and a fresh bottle would have been preferable to me.

Never tried the original Pinched With Four Aces, but I see how this is well loved. The throw on this is the strongest out of all my Weenies I have tested so far this year. Lots of tobacco and pumpkin mixed in with coffee, smells close to maple lattes maybe? Very toasty and warm, great for fall. Was not expecting the coffee to be this strong, but I love it! I don't get any woodsy scents, it's all darkly sweet coffee, pumpkin/pumpkin spice, and chewy tobacco. The throw does weaken some as it dries down, and so does the coffee. It reminds me of Candy Corn Smut a little. A little musky like Smut but turns into a slightly sweet coffee. But this one is stronger than that one was. Such a wonderful coffee scent, probably one of the best from BPAL!

Cranberry cotton candy! Pumpkin sugar appears some too, but it's mostly a tart cranberry. I don't get much mango at all, especially when it dries down. It only really appeared on me when I first applied it. I think there might be a hint of spice in here too, pumpkin spice maybe? Pretty good! Wish the throw was a tad stronger, and got more of the mango to stick around.

Vanilla spiced buttercream and soft woods. I think the wood for the stick is sandalwood, but I could be wrong. The wood stays in the background and isn't dominating the other notes. The marshmallow makes this very sugary, but to me it doesn't smell scorched. It almost resembles a smores without the chocolate, which is what I was hoping this would smell like. Close to the skin and warm, a comforting scent that would be good for bedtime. I didn't get much honey at all. I would have liked more to show up over the stick, but it's still a good scent regardless. Maybe the honey will get stronger with some aging.

This was close to the skin, but it's a beautiful soft creamy floral. Heavily amber and marshmallow on me, and I mostly got the pink rosebuds from this over the lavender. It was pretty close to the skin. It's pretty perfumey, but it does settle a bit once it dries down. Have to agree that this is similar to Rose Quartz Bedroom! It reminds me of that one quite a bit! Definitely recommend if you liked that one from last year's Liliths.

A Winter’s Walk in the Cemetery
fairybites replied to Seajewel's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
Out of the Dorian blends from the 2021 Liliths, this is my favorite! It smells like an overgrown garden in the middle of autumn. The maple leaves doesn't smell anything like Dead Leaves to me. The florals are very strong, especially the lilies and lavender. Rose appears too, but it's fainter than the rest. Dorian shows up more when it dries down and the florals soften a bit. It's really lovely, and I hope with some aging Dorian gets stronger.- 15 replies

This is a rainy forest scent with lots of tea. Green and musky, not very harsh. Dorian is very prominent in this, especially the tea note. I like Troll in this blend better than on it's own, it's a lot more wearable to me. The Troll that I tried was aged, so I really like this fresher version. It's a little less dark and intimidating, but that could also be because of the addition of Dorian. I wish I got some lavender in this. Maybe with some aging it'll appear. But it's still really good regardless.

Very dark and woodsy. I'm getting tons of clove smoke, cumin, and pine. I keep thinking patchouli is in this but I don't see it in the notes. I'm not picking up any basil, but everything else is in here as far as I can tell. It's not a bad scent at all, but I don't think I'd wear this super often. My imp is aged, so I'm curious what this smelled like fresh.
