About this blog

Wherein I record all my perfume-related thoughts

Tin Phoenix

Limited Edition -- Anniversary Blends   I guess I mostly get ozone and lemony lemongrass. It's not anything that stands out too terribly, for me.

Sleipnir

Limited Edition -- Yule 2009   Rather nutty and warm -- I don't get any berries from this at all. It reminds me kind of like dry cereal...whereas Gunpowder was more warm, moist oatmeal. It was fun to try, at least.

Mother Shub's Toothsome Banketstaaf

Limited Edition -- Yule 2009 -- Miskatonic Yuletide Faire   I didn't have much material to test, so this one sort of got lost in the shuffle. I'm rather regretting it now, as it's pretty yummy-smelling. As many others have noted, it has a slightly-buttery almond pastry feel. I'm not getting a lot of fruit, though there is a very sweet aspect to it, so I wouldn't put it past the cherry to be present right now. It's throwing pretty well just from the tiny dab I put on. This turned out to be my favorite of Mother Shub's creations.

Pet Magah Bird

Limited Editions -- Yule 2009 -- Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire   I mostly get creamy fruit, so yeah, it's somewhat like Agape. I can't quite identify what fruit I think I'm smelling...I think it's more like cherries, or oranges. Nice and fun, if rather faint.

Quicksilver Phoenix

Limited Editions -- Anniversary Blends   Manly cologne that starts off with a hint of lavender and herbs. Fades away pretty quickly.

Season Of Ghosts

Limited Edition -- Yule 2009   A pretty, cheerful orange-lemon blend that also smells (to me) like fresh flowers.

Silver Phoenix

Limited Edition -- Anniversary Blends   I really wanted to like this one, because I don't run into pear a whole lot as a component, and when it works it's really divine. However, this one didn't click with me. The pear and moonflower were almost sickeningly sweet and cloying, and eventually succumbed to the fate of all the phoenixes on me, turning into generic cologne and fading away.   I do give it major props for giving an aura of sweet, gleaming silver -- so themewise, it captured the aura of silver quite well.

Spooky (Resurrected)

Limited Edition -- Anniversary Blends   Man, this one is *not* for me. The peppermint and coconut meld together to create a really nauseating scent, like Dimetapp cough syrup. There's a faint hint of dry chalky cocoa behind it, but mostly it's just that weird, gross syrupy scent. Eeek.
