this one reminds me a bit of the spider lily scent from last year, i think in the realistic softness. this is a soft fruity floral - the guava smells plummy & almost candy grape. i don’t get much incense. i’m not a big floral person, but i really like this one!

i bet people are waiting for reviews - so illl try to throw some in starts out sweet bright cherry plum juice settles into a perfumey red musk - there is something to the musk that makes me think more of the red musk of ‘awake’ than of delight in disorder (which was crimson now that i look). this isn’t at all like DID. the beeswax is more present in the dry down. it’s really a pretty juicy fruit scent that becomes more complex as it dries. the beeswax could be viewed as powdery.

this is already a favorite. i did let the bottles rest a bit, but i’ve worn this one a few times already. it’s creamy, soft, fruity, and tangy. the strawberry is in the forefront, cherry blossom cream is in the background & all settles into the marshmallow

okay i promise i’ll update after it rests. but there is nothing here, so i wanted to add - this could be great. the plum silk reminds me of the gauzy plum of joyful romp- maybe bc of the tuberose as well- i get the tuberose ‘in there’ right afterwards, and the lotus is sweet and around the edges. it’s perfumy, fruity, a little creamy. i can tell it needs to rest, but it’s really soft and nice as it settles on my skin. if you liked joyful romp- it’s promising ! i may full size this one

all black tea on me ? i blind bottled this when shungas came out - wondering if i will get more chrysanthemum as it ages? edit - tried again (uploaded initial notes on scent) - after over a month this is all tea when it goes on wet, then softens into chrysanthemum, soft, sweet - a honey like smell (a very light honey that isn’t sticky - more of a nectar? - i can’t place it w any honey notes, maybe something like ‘tissue’ or the honey-lotus-beeswax shunga from a yr or two back. maybe that is the candied lotus. nonetheless - i'm happy with this now!!!

this reminds me in a good way of gen z feminist cenobite- but a little more sophisticated. def a chypre i didn’t get the beeswax or rice powder; there’s an edp scent i’m looking for from years ago that i was hoping for a similar experience, but this is still quite nice. i blind bottled this one when shungas dropped & am happy with it

The Brothel’s Lattice Window Atmosphere Spray
picturesofmeghan replied to Jenjin's topic in Atmosphere
this is fruity, and i love it. it brings to mind the fruity red musk from awake, and HGs like three couples and enveloped in silk. this didn’t read super wine-y on me. it’s also potent - i eat scent; i put a tiny bit on and could smell it the next morning. that does not happen to me. wow! ? this was my favorite of everything i tried. ( i said photography was my fave oil )- 3 replies

this smells like fresh lily - green, actual bouquet. the dragons blood gives it a slight spiciness and dimension, with a sweet depth from the plum. i’m surprised i liked this one; i got it for the name and because i like plum and the idea of spider lilies. not sure if i’ll full size, but i may

i agree with the reviewers that said this went weird. i think it’s the heliotrope? that and champaca made me think of cola. i blind bottled this bc i thought it would work- i am holding on to it in the hopes that in a year it’ll be a little different !

slightly sharp pinewood, with its edges rounded by the amber and tonka. this is different for me, a fan of fruity scents, but all of the wood is behaving. the amber could make it soapy, but it’s reading more glowy. these decants just arrived, but out of the few i got, this may be my favorite oil of the bunch. i’ll report back when it actually settles

absolutely beautiful. well blended, and i don’t get any of the notes I was worried about- no powder, no heavy jasmine, and the vanilla behaves. i tested right out of the mail bc i have no patience, but the scent has developed a bit more, and i can safely say i love this. i do get sandalwood - i don’t know if it is ‘rose tinted,’ as in the flower - i believe it is more like the color. it’s a silky, sweet soft scent with some darkness; the almond blossom doesn’t give the deceptive cherry scent, but instead gives the impression of a light fruitiness. i would not call it fruity overall, but mixed with the ethereal white amber produces a ‘glow’ similar to ‘rose quartz bedroom.’ the darkness is there in the softness - it’s hard to explain, but this is such an alluring scent that captures what tomie is without beating you over the head with any one quality. it’s subtle. I ordered this despite being iffy about most of the notes, simply bc i love junji ito and tomie in particular, and it’s such a fitting tribute. tomie is not outwardly a monster by any means - this is a scent that suggests a darker nature but does not define it specifically. it’s somehow more autumnal than spring, and the glow makes it one that i keep returning to sniff my wrist. edit to add - when this is wet, i do smell the dewiness that is referenced in other reviews. also want to note fiance and i both found something nostalgic about this, and neither of us can pinpoint what it is
