Pink rose, red musk, red sandalwood, oakmoss, vetiver, nectarine, black tea, ambrette, jasmine, and blackcurrant bud.

Waiting for my 2011 Lupers to arrive...figured I'd visit some old ones.

Sniff: Can't really pick out specific notes, just a woodsy, heavy musk

Wet: Ah, hello, vetiver! With a sharp floral undertone.

Dry: I agree with the "atmospheric" description. As time passes, the vetiver steps down and now I'm getting a murky, charcoal kind of floral. It's a litte disarming, like remembering a far away time and place, covered in shadows. An interesting blend, but not really something I'd wear.

ITI: It the imp, I get mainly nectarine, musk, and perhaps ambrette.

 

Wet: Black tea, nectarine, something that smells like honeysuckle, voluptuous rose, and jasmine. Deliciously floral.

 

Dry: It's warmly floral with the rose and jasmine, but the black tea and the red musk create a wonderful symphony with paired with the shriller floral notes.

The note list on this is completely different from what I expected. And look, one of the five blends with rose that I can wear.

 

This is Tavern of Hell's just as sexy cousin, just sexy in different ways. This reads as a sort of yellow, lush floral on my skin. I like this one, a lot, and it feels like a very classic perfume blend. It's syrupy. The vetiver is keeping this slow and heavy.

 

If you like Tavern but not the booze note, this is a very close family member.

Rose! Rose, rose and more rose, with a slight woody/resiny tinge. I'm not getting anything else. Roses everywhere, which makes me sad. I'm not even getting red musk out of this, and I usually amp red musk. No, it's all rose all the time.

Just purchased from the Etsy store, and loving it!

 

Rose, sandalwood & jasmine are my best buds, and they're all in there, but not in an overwhelming way. The red musk and vetiver are peeking out, and I sense a little tannin in the background from the black tea. The wood & herb notes keep the florals from dominating. I also thought of honeysuckle. Maybe the nectarine & jasmine combined?

 

A win! Hooray!

Sandalwood in the bottle. Goes on as sandalwood, vetiver, and blackcurrant. It's not dreadful as it dries, but it continues into that weird flower-stamen note which the Lab's jasmine tends to turn into on my skin. Pass.
