Vanilla Bean, Marshmallow, and Benzoin
wolf_truffles replied to Seajewel's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Mostly vanilla bean! Like smelling a vanilla pod. A bit of poofy marshmallow lifting it up. Not getting much benzoin. Starts out with okay throw but gets pretty light pretty fast! Becomes a vanilla bean skin scent after around 10 minutes. -
Milk note is basically Aeode, Melete, Mneme for those familiar. It smells like you blended those two perfumes together! It is sweet and very rich. I love it!
-
I'm always amazed that chocolate perfumes can smell so different from one another! I have several, and each is unique. This one is truly a chocolate babka- smells a bit bready with decadent chocolate. Very small amount of almond, but it seems to blend in with the chocolate. This is realistic. Happy to have this in my collection!
-
The cheesecake is the strongest note and it's really realistic! The lemon zest is light; I actually think the vanilla is a bit stronger, so I wouldn't consider this scent to be lemon prominent.
-
This smells like red hots and a minty fresh cat nip plant (if you know, you know). I'm weirdly obsessed with this one and thankful that cinnamon works well on me.
-
It smelled a little aftershave in the bottle but it is beautiful on the skin! Lavender is prominent, with the other dried flowers wrapped around it. It smells like dried herbs and flowers but isn't dusty or old smelling- it's fresh and it's a scent you want to close your eyes and smell. It's complex enough where you can continuously breathe it in and smell a different note. I wouldn't use this for sleeping but maybe wistfully daydreaming.

Buttery pumpkin note, sweet spices, vanilla.. and.. MUSK. There's unexpected musk in this. My nose is telling me black musk. Smells great in the bottle but musk hates me and my skin. I'm sad! I wanted a delicious vanilla pumpkin experience.
-
This is giving me some Lights, Camera, Something vibes with the vanilla, cardamom and cream. Where that one had a sort of lemon/lavender tea, this one is a comforting oatmeal. Honey is not strong for those worried. I adore this. I'm ordering a second bottle for sure!!
-
All almond! No chocolate on me. Smells like marzipan! I think I'll layer this a lot. edit: getting strangely spicy on drydown! Cinnamon!?
-
Mostly lavender!! An herbal, garden lavender. If you have ever picked some and rubbed it between your fingers for a sniff- it's exactly that. A bit of bergamot and a poofy backdrop of vanilla. Weirdly not getting anything else!

Amor, To Show That He Was Pleased, Approvingly (In Silence) Sneezed
wolf_truffles replied to Seajewel's topic in Lupercalia
I'm getting a sort of vanilla wafer (as in the flaky wafers) note with a light and sweet lemon meringue pie. No flowers that I can really pinpoint! Delicious. Spring day tea party vibes. -
Typical lab chocolate note (which I personally love), rich and Bliss like. VERY buttercream. If you are looking for a fattening buttercream scent, look no further. Probably as gourmand as it gets. Great throw. Careful! People might bite you.
-
Beautiful, sweeeet apricots and cream. A faint touch of floral. Coconut milk and cream blend into one note, so it's not a fatty/foodie sort of cream but more balanced and refreshing. Not much fig for me. I love this! Easily a daily wear scent edit: I smelled some magnolias that were blooming down the street and magnolia is definitely in this! Smells identical

The Judge of Hell is Jealous of the Sexual Exploits of his Petitioners
wolf_truffles replied to Seajewel's topic in Lupercalia
I'd say the stars are the red ginger cream, currant and tobacco. It's masculine to me! The amber, currant and myrrh add a sort of afterthought sweetness but it's rich and smokey. It's on the masculine incense side. I think this will compliment many! Those that enjoyed elephant is slow to mate might like this one too. -
This is *exactly* the smell of when you open a cold can of ginger ale. I'm absolutely amazed. A fizzy soda quality! Syrupy sweet and fizzy with a gingery flavor. That's it! Incredible
-
Reminds me of the megasized chocolate bar snake oil! Chocolate with lots of snake oil spices, but this one has a present ricemilk note. I like it, although the ricemilk might throw some people off. Not much teakwood on me.
-
Dead leaves, patchouli and woodsmoke should have been the alternate name. Easily fits into the dead leaves collection! Red musk in this is light and really just amps the other notes into a more "perfume" territory
-
Somehow the addition of all the midway notes turns the usually bad, powdery red musk into powdered sugar! I'm getting carnival apple, cotton candy and a powdered sugar red musk. There's definitely a bubblegum myrrh in here. On me, this is like a different take on midway, and I'm enjoying it.
-
Black coffee with a very treacle leaning caramel. Less sweet than you'd imagine, and definitely a mood! Be great for layering with an overly sweet gourmand.
-
I'm obsessed with this!! If you think of a note as having multiple sides to it, this perfume brings out the side you weren't expecting. In every single note. The candied ginger is rooty and earthy- not candied or spiced. The orange blossom is almost bitter- not sweet and floral. The clove brings out a crushed spicy element that doesn't read as "spiced". Even the benzoin is a harsher bark smell. Weirdly, it reminds me of a beach vacation I went on but I can't explain how or why. The whole thing together reads as a earthy green tea filled with malice and vengeance.
-
Very, very light amber. There's almost an aftershave aspect to this. Also vanilla? I think my nose is broken. No smoke for me. I'd probably layer this with something as it's not strong enough on its own.
-
Without reading some of the previous comments here I think I'd have a really hard time describing this. "Balsamic" is right although I don't really know how that happened. To me, it smells like I'm smelling inside of something. It's a scent that goes about as deep as one can go. Smoky and resinous and just deeeeeeeep deep deep.
-
I'm getting 100% cherry! Those red cherries in red cherry juice. Syrupy, very sweet and strong!
-
I'm getting mostly plum, tea and a bit of pink pepper. Ginger is hanging around giving this a very subtle depth but it doesn't read as spiced to me. The plum tea (which is really what it ends up being) is soft, clean and light.
