Please Scream Inside Your Snake Oil
wolf_truffles replied to zankoku_zen's topic in Limited Editions
Why do I love this? Way more than I thought I would! This has the usual sugared vanilla and musk of snake oil but it reads much more powdered sugar. There's a bit of a fried note but I wouldn't call it greasy or oily, just smells like a delicious pastry. So a snake oil pastry covered in powdered sugar. I'm a gourmand lover but even still there are only a few scents that truly make me want to eat my arm. This is one!! I'm interested to see how it pairs side by side with Midway. -
It's a sweet licorice with some vanilla. I like it but I don't think I'll really ever want to wear it!
-
The mango smells more like perfumey mango skin than juicy mango. I think it blends beautifully with the slightly perfumey rice milk. A little creamy, but not fatty or sweet. Really smells true to rice milk! I get a little coconut coming out somewhere too but I like coconut so no complaints. Glad I gave this a try.

I'm smelling mostly apricot! And pastry. A sort of artificial raspberry in the background (I'd say same note as just regular raspberry suf). Smells sticky! So sweet it makes my stomach hurt. I think I'll pass on a full bottle.

Very lilac, a whiff of smoke. A lovely incense swirls about during drydown. Does not go powdery on me which is great. Not getting any beeswax although I'm positive the beeswax is the thing stopping it from becoming soapy/powdery. I love lilacs! Strong throw. Upgrading to a bottle. Beeswax appears during drydown!

This is so interesting. It takes me back to a time when a bunch of metalhead teens (including myself) would hang out in my friend's basement. Leather and hemp are strong. Tobacco and amber set a sort of "mood" and the chocolate in the background keeps the memories in a happy place. Surprised how much I like this.
-
This could be the really rich and fancy cousin to Boo! Instead of cotton and cream this is cashmere and milky honey. The honey is sweet, the milk chocolate is present and does smell totally separate from the regular chocolate note. I've never tried the lab's goat milk before but there's nothing specifically "goat" about it. It's a happy scent and the cashmere makes it lightly perfumey.
-
I smell all three notes pretty evenly I think! Surprisingly low throw. This smells like baby laundry. Or just babies in general. It's not unpleasant and is actually pretty joyful!
-
I'm getting a little fruity sweetness from the plum, sweetness from the tuberose and sugar, and a soft lavender bud, all enriched and deepened by the cocoa bean. Can't identify the balsam. If it could have been left at that.. then this scent would have been a favorite. However, jasmine (as it often does for me) comes to ruin the day by spraying aftershave and baby powder butt over all the other notes in a very grating way. If jasmine does not bother you, I'd give this a try! I actually love how the cocoa bean plays with the other notes here.

I have a 2009 imp and a 2012 bottle! 2009- this one is so similar to Aoede, Melete, Mneme! Heavy cream. Basically just smells like sweet, sugared cream and marshmallows. After a while it begins to get a bit musty dusty, which my aoede does not. No cotton at all. 2012- less heavy on the cream than 2009 but cream is definitely present. This one has a (somehow) delicious, wispy cotton that I think really improves this scent and stops it from getting musty. Marshmallows and sugar appear more and more during drydown. I think the first minute of 2009 is incredible but falls pretty fast while 2012 is all around a great scent. Both have a relativity low throw!

If one could imagine an overly sweet raspberry rhubarb pie? The raspberry jam is so strong I feel like it's been injected into my nose. From only two drops on my wrists! So, so sweet. Like absolutely covered in powdered sugar. I do really like this. I think it being so strong I'd like to blend it with something like King Cake to bring that extreme powdered sweetness down just a notch. This scent is seriously a mood and not one my gothy self is often in 😂
-
Hot cocoa and coffee go well together! Sweet and very rich. Only a little cinnamon and brown sugar. Almost goes plastic on me which never happens to me with gourmands. I'll update later.
-
Oddly floral? Like sweet honeysuckle. Basically a honeysuckle single note on me!
-
Gelt 2021- More amber than I expected, actually! This chocolate is not like Bliss at all or like Muddy Puddles' cocoa. I get an almond or nutty scent out of this. Maybe even cocoa pebbles? Very light too which is unexpected as chocolate usually amps on me like crazy.
-
Exactly as I hoped. A light, buttery sugar cookie. I plan on layering the heck out of this with absolutely everything..
-
Cinnamon buns with extra sugary glaze!! Cinnamon is strong in this, which I really like but I know some have problems with it. Gingerbread in the way background. Not sure I'd pick out the note if it didn't say so on the bottle! I'm a big fan if this! Very spicy gourmand. A great holiday scent.
-
No anise on me for those worried. In fact, not really any spice at all! Maybe a tiny bit if clove if I really search but it blends in behind the peppermint. Lots of peppermint and clouds of marshmallow. Gumdrops in the background adding extra sweetness. I'm excited about a peppermint forward perfume, it's refreshing somehow and the marshmallow compliments it well.
-
Snake oil sugar plum fairy! Snake oil is leading but with lots of purple candy fluff. Plum is very sweet. A very feminine scent. It's fun! Nothing dark or sinister about this plum at all, and the snake oil is playing nice. I really like this one!
-
Definitely bread cake! A bit buttery. Spelt is strong in this which I like. Very whole wheat. Clove and nutmeg definitely come out. Less sweet than imagined! I think bread lovers would like this one a lot. Honey isn't strong on me. edit: honey comes out more during drydown. Adds weight to the scent and gives it some throw.
-
I think I'm the only one that likes this! I like lemon scented stickybat though and this has the same note. The lemon sugar is the syrupy sort that you'd imagine at the bottom of an iced tea. The gingerbread is sweet as well- not getting any spices really although I can still identify it as gingerbread. Gingerbread definitely takes a backseat to the lemon sugar syrup. As it dries and fades there's a buttery vanilla floof that comes out that I really enjoy. The throw and length is strong and long on me- basically the opposite of every review 🤔

Iced Apple Dumplings Plopped Into A Sweet Potato Pie
wolf_truffles replied to Seajewel's topic in Gifts with Donation or Purchase
I absolutely adore this one!! This is every holiday memory stuffed in a tiny imp. Not a fresh apple; more like a poached, spiced apple. Sweet potato pie is a bit like pumpkin but lighter and sweeter, crust is buttery and adds depth. Perfectly spiced. One of those scents you sniff and sigh after because it takes you to another realm. I'm going to be on the search for more of these imps! -
Cheesecake and a dark, spicy cherry syrup. I think the pumpkin is what is reading as spiced. Not much chocolate. Actually even the cheesecake isn't really prominent. Pumpkin and cherry battle it out and pumpkin is winning. I smell something else in there too, maybe a musk? I think this would appeal more to pumpkin lovers than cherry lovers but it could also just be my skin chemistry.
-
Perhaps the funniest thing I've ever smelled. I laughed hard.. it's literally french fries. Like hot, oily fries and maybe even a pickle. Extremely potato. There's a cookie somewhere in there too. I can't decide if it makes me hungry or nauseous. Absolutely hilarious.
-
I'm going to say this smells like Speculoos! For those unfamiliar: "Speculoos is a type of spiced shortcrust biscuit with sugar, butter, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg". It's a battle between the cinnamon and ginger and I think cinnamon is winning. It is delicious. Butterscotch is amazingly in the background and smells more like a butterscotch cookie than a candy. This is even better than expected and way more "holiday" than sinister. Like finishing the most delicious cup of chai tea you've ever had and sniffing deep into the bottom of the cup 🤤

This scent is amazing but not in the way I expected? Immediately a bit more spiced than expected, lots of sugar. Reads more "cool" than warm. But after a few minutes it smells like incredible bubble tea. Like the sugared tapioca pearls to be more specific. Popcorn note goes away almost immediately. After a while the tapioca pearl fades a little and sugar cookie sugar is everlasting. Somehow not overly sweet? A fun start to this year's yules! edit: popcorn note did replace the bubble tea note hours later after I washed my hands. Granulated sugar note lasts and lasts
