    If your top 5 scents are... Then try these!

    You might like Resistance from the Activism line. Very autumnal, and benefits the ACLU. "It is an autumn scent, swirled with fall leaves, huddled against the cold winds of November... Bourbon vanilla and vintage champaca absolute with sweet patchouli, dried red fruits, leather accord, pumpkin rind, and a splash of bourbon." Also Jack from the General Catalog if you haven't tried it yet ("The scent of warm, glowing jack o’lanterns on a warm autumn night: true Halloween pumpkin, spiced with nutmeg, glowing peach and murky clove.") and hopefully someone can weigh in on recommendations from the current Halloween collection!
  2. I recall this scent as a creamy sweet citrus dessert, and it was popular enough they made it into a body spray. Bergamot and litsea cubeba are listed as some of the essential oils adding citrusy vibe to the underlying perfume blend. https://www.lushusa.com/fragrances/body-sprays/avocado-co-wash/09212.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs-DJ2ezi8wIVDuTICh38QAEPEAQYAiABEgIEdvD_BwE Not the same, but I get very sweet citrus (plus patchouli) from Silkybat (not everyone does, but may be worth sampling). Shub would mix well with Yog Nog.
  3. Flickering Lights, Fluttering Curtains from last fall -- reviews recommend this for fans of Antique Lace

    I've tried 20+ scents and only liked 2. Help!

    Since you love lavender, and Twilight/Sleepy, you should try TKO Since you love Rose Jam, you might enjoy Peacock Queen or Jezebel Since you like poisoned apple, and So White/Once Upon a Time, perhaps try Sjöfn Other recommendations: Bon Vivant (fruity & fizzy) and Morocco (sweet) ETA: just realized this thread was revived after over a year in dormancy!

    BPAL Scents Similar to Nefertiti?

    Have you tried Black Pearl? They both feature iris and (at least on my unique skin chemistry) do smell related.

    Tonka Bean & Pink Pepper

    A skin hugging slightly sweet (not too sweet) fusion of joyful pink scents giving me vibes from LUSH's discontinued tonka-forward Think Pink bath bomb.

    The Peacock Queen

    Reviewing the 2013 edition, received as a frottle from the lab... kismet! an enticing true rose in a bottle, richer than rosewater, ripe, lush, and boldly holding forth -sweetening slightly- as it dries.

    Leave Her, Jonny

    A crave-worthy savory, summery, ruggedly tropical spiced oud blend perfect for bringing an adventurous seafaring vibe to indoor, air conditioned, landlocked environments.

    The Last Unicorn 2021

    Delicious opalescent gourmand lettuce torte sprinkled with delicate flowers and dappled by the light of the full moon.

    Muddy Armadillo

    This armadillo is curled up in a nest of chocolate-flavored tobacco on the wooden plank floor of a saloon.

    LOVE The Antikythera Mechanism, any suggestions?

    I've now learned from @Lucchesa that there's a pumpkin spice version of antikythera mechanism. May be worth checking out for you @coffin.baby!

    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    On the reviews, @RoseThornAndOak had issues with that one. Maybe you can mind meld?

    Gebirgsschlucht Im Winter

    A stroll through a beautiful chilled blackberry-laced pine forest with complexity from other scents wafting in along the journey. Long lasting, gently sweet.

    Goblin

    A goblin has stolen your cake, and brought it deep into an ancient forest that is shaded and cool and earthy and full of gnarled roots.
