    Ruddy Daggerwing

    absinthetics posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Cacao, tobacco absolute, Chilean coffee bean, osage-orange, and ebony. You do get a deep understanding of the cacao note the second you put this under your nose. I think it's dancing somehow with the coffee bean, that isn't quite coffee. There is a dark smoothness to this scent that is very elegan...

    Spicebush Swallowtail

    RaeiNarcissus posted a topic in Limited Editions

    SPICEBUSH SWALLOWTAIL Brown sugar, sassafras, clove, and wild plum. This is really nice. It was spicy and sweet and very delicious. I dabbed a bit on me at the lab, and wow..... I would say it lasted for about two hours before the spice faded, but I still had the sweetness underneath. Definitely g...

    Passion Butterfly

    absinthetics posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Red mandarin, mimosa, pink grapefruit, copal, petitgrain, and black amber. The mandarin was the first thing I smelled in this. And it's true, there is a redness to it I can't really explain other than putting it exactly that way. There is some grapefruit, like from baoban sith. All of this is made...

    Monarch

    midnight_aeval posted a topic in Limited Editions

    MONARCH King mandarin, red ginger, sugar cane, golden amber, mango, and pumpkin. Not at all like Pumpkin Queen, which is what I was expecting. It seems possible that a different pumpkin note is being used as of late by the lab (Blue Pumpkin Floss from what I got to test at the trunk show was unlik...

    Southern Cloudywing

    fetish911 posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Cardamom tea, orange peel, mate, oakmoss, tonka bean, sweet cedar, and costus. This was very hard to decipher. I can smell spicy tea and cedar. It smells weird. I didn't like it while it was wet, but dried to something that reminds me of a generic Lush scent. Wtf, that 2 butterfly scents so far t...

    Zebra Heliconian

    absinthetics posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Opium tar, frankincense, lemongrass, ambergris accord, Himalayan cedarwood, coffee absolute, coconut meat, clary sage, tobacco flower, vetiver, and white plum. In the bottle, you can pick up the incense and the sharpness of the vetiver and lemongrass. The wood is there in the background, along wit...

    Goatweed Leafwing

    MuskWitch posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Tonka bean, orange blossom, ambrette seed, and brown sandalwood. Just to let you know, I don't have the incredible nose that some of you have, so I just say whatever I can about a scent. Goatweed Leafwing, in the bottle, YUM! I like this! It does smell "brown", but in a really good way! Nothi...

    Black Swallowtail

    fetish911 posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Licorice bark with freesia, jungle orchids, elemi, Bulgarian rose otto, and jasmine sambac. Wet I get a whiff of licorice, and something sweet, the freesia I do believe. This smells fantastic on me! I sometimes can't wear jasmine but this is so well blended I don't even notice it. This to me smell...

    Paper Kite

    Venneh posted a topic in Limited Editions

    PAPER KITE Coconut, white sugar, angelica, and black pepper. This was coconut and black pepper and white sugar in the bottle, and all coconut on me, sadly, because I amp coconut to high heaven, and it in turn turns into a plastic monstrosity on me. Again, this is skin-chemistry dependent, and I ha...

    Juniper Hairstreak

    absinthetics posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Smoky brown musk, cucumber, green-tinged ozone, cypress, white mint, jungle orchid, and juniper berry. I will say that I am not a mint or juniper fan. I was not looking forward to this one at all. But wow! It is something totally unique. I can't really explain it, and it really is just kind of a g...

    Question Mark

    MuskWitch posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Blackened vanilla absolute with tobacco leaf, Ceylon cinnamon, orange-bark myrrh, and orange blossom. Question Mark, in the bottle, what IS that? Not a BAD what IS that, just it is something I should recognize, like a Lab note I have a lot of. Well, duh! Tobacco! On my skin, yep yep, tobacco, b...

    Chorion Hair Gloss

    ClockworkMoM posted a topic in Hair

    A gossamer armor: seemingly delicate, but as strong as adamant. Opalescent vanilla-infused benzoin with silvered iris, white patchouli, mimosa blossom, and white musk. I am attempting to convey how lovely Chorion is in a first review (gasp), so please bear with me! Chorion is light and sweet. Not o...

    Common Jezebel

    Venneh posted a topic in Limited Editions

    COMMON JEZEBEL Apricot, lemon sugar, coconut, red currant, and vetiver. I got mostly VETIVERRR and something else underneath it, but the something else didn't quite win out, sadly. The vetiver might leave with age, but if you amp vetiver to high heaven like I do, you're going to be hard-pressed to...

    Nectar Hair Gloss

    Akurarei posted a topic in Hair

    Honeyed camellia and bergamot with sweet honeysuckle and sugared columbine. This is a very subtle fragrance, and just dances in the hair with very soft kisses of delicate florals, honey and a faint touch of earthiness. It's absolutely lovely, and is reminiscent of a butterfly garden in summer. Than...

    Blue Morpho

    Heavenlyrabbit posted a topic in Limited Editions

    BLUE MORPHO Wild orchid, pikake, honeysuckle, calla lily, agave nectar, pink geranium, violet leaf, and white amber. Blue Morpho is an exotic, juicy bouquet. It's a sweet, surprisingly light floral confection considering the listed notes. Extremely well blended. Beautiful Amber note under this....

    Bernardino Dotted Blue

    absinthetics posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Lily of the valley, patchouli, copal, violet leaf, ambrette seed, Cyprian bergamot, chocolate peppermint, and tobacco absolute. Ooh! There's the bergamot! Bam! Next come patchouli and violet leaf. After this assaults your nose with citrus, you get the ghost of lily in the valley, fluttering haphaz...

    Wild Indigo Duskywing

    patina posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Black saffron, frankincense, Florentine iris, blackcurrant, white pepper, black clove, vetiver, and smoky honey. I wanted to like this one. It is smoky and spicy with some sweetness, but I'm getting a little sourness somewhere. The vetiver and something like orris (the iris?) are the strongest com...

    Goliath Birdwing

    stellamaris posted a topic in Limited Editions

    GOLIATH BIRDWING White sage, lemongrass, lemon balm, dusty beige musk, and drops of anise. I have been really impressed with how quickly my orders are getting to me, I had been told that often there is a monumental wait time, but I have not experienced this yet. My Goliath Birdwing landed yesterd...

    Eastern Comma

    fetish911 posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Sweet orange with tobacco absolute and hay. Orange is the first note I get. I can smell the tobacco underneath with a slightly caramel-y base. As this dries the orange fades (as orange tends to do) and I can now smell the hay. So tobacco and hay! It's a sweet , grassy hay and a nice caramel tobac...

    White Peacock

    absinthetics posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Teak, ebony wood, osmanthus, patchouli, red sandalwood, vanilla orchid, tonka bean, tobacco, wild musk, spikenard, and sugandh kokila. Right out of the mail, the patchouli is strong in this one. Straight up Banshee beat patchouli but without the creaminess. I would say the second note is the teak....

    Nectar Atmosphere Spray

    ReallyZeb posted a topic in Atmosphere

    Honeyed camellia and bergamot with sweet honeysuckle and sugared columbine. I worried that this would be overly sweet and overly floral - it is neither. I do get a tiny bit of honeysuckle, and what I assume is camelia, but the bergamot grounds it beautifully. A spicy and slightly sweet bottle of...

    Yucca Giant-Skipper

    MuskWitch posted a topic in Limited Editions

    White patchouli, oudh, vanilla absolute, copaiba balsam, pepperwood, and champaca flower. Disclaimer: I usually don't get along with patchouli. Only if it is blended REALLY well and hidden by other notes. OH GAWD! Yucca Giant Skipper. WHAT was I THINKING? I was thinking that white patchouli m...

    Little Metalmark

    MuskWitch posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Nagarmotha and sweet musk. Little Metalmark, in the bottle, Hmmmm. It reminds me of something ...... and I get the musk. On my skin, a little bit woodsy (NOT pencil shavings or BBQ, which some wood scents do on my skin), sweet, and maybe musk. I like it. But I don't LOVE it. After about 15 minute...

    Red-Spotted Purple

    fetish911 posted a topic in Limited Editions

    White thyme, yuzu fruit, hinoki wood, blue cedar, white carnation, plum rind, white mandarin, and lime-tinted white musk. Wow this has a lot going on! Herbal. Fruity. A bit floral. Wet, I smell herbs and Yuzu/mandarin citrusy thing over everything else. Carnation I can pick out but it's not parti...

    Phaon Crescent

    persianmouse posted a topic in Limited Editions

    Italian bergamot and neroli with marigold, white jasmine, Himalayan cedar, lemon peel, and a drop of tobacco absolute. Generally speaking, I am not a jasmine kind of girl, nor is jasmine a mouse kind of flower. Me and jasmine have a long-standing arrangement to Agree to Disagree, and try to stay...
