2017/2018 Update Notes and Bottle Love
0-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Vanilla cake with sprinkles and red velvet cupcakes, with a touch of climbing wisteria and sparkling apple cider.
I would sniff a decant of this, but I don't see myself needing a bottle.
A CUTE KID
Pale lavender and Tahitian vanilla with a smudge of chalk dust and a pop of strawberry bubblegum.
Bottle - I'm not sure about the bubblegum, but I love the lavender used in Liliths!
LIKE FATHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Pomegranate cotton candy.
I love the bottle art but I'm not a cotton candy person, though I do like pomegranate. Sniffie territory. MORNING IN THE CITY OF ANGELS
Sunflowers and California poppies, vanilla-tinged oak bark, and a spill of sugary breakfast cereal.
I'm not sure I'd enjoy this one.
MY LITTLE THEMYSCIRAN PRINCESS
Rich, sweet, valiant amber, coconut milk, honeyed saffron, gleaming gold-gilded leather, and sweet olive blossom.
Decant - Leather gives me pause,
SPINNING ON GRAVES
Dorian and lavender mist, crushed grass, cypress leaf, and a drop of clove.
I think I'd try a bottle of this one? Clove gives me serious pause, but I did like the clove in Mabel this year so...maybe. Dorian and Lavender in the same bottle is bliss usually, though, so I'd half-bottle for sure...but might blind bottle.
THE PILLORY
Caramelized rum ice cream with a splatter of berries.
Pass.
WEDNESDAY’S CHILD IS FULL OF WOE
A little kid’s interpretation of a gothy goth perfume: sugared clove and vanilla patchouli with cacao, dried Avignon rose petals, and a bit of black cherry.
I'd want a half-bottle of this one...maybe a fb based on reviews.
ZIP LINE
Brown leather and bourbon vanilla with honeyed oudh and cinnamon buns.
I'm generally not a leather person but this one does have me curious. I'd try a decant.
Motherhood 2017
Admete
Driftwood and sea salt submerged in a marine layer, a touch of sweet carnation, bright neroli, and a sandy strip of kelp.
This is one I labeled as blind bottle it. Sounds pretty awesome, though I'm not always an ambergris fan. Apocalyptic Horseprincess
Crushed mint and neon lime, sour candy powder, and wild plum.
Pass. Babys First Con Panel
The scent of the soft pretzel we hid in our backpack, plus a bit of leftover chocolate chip cookie.
Pass. Brunch Witches
Pumpkin pancakes and berries in cream.
Pass. Cemetery Creep
Marble-white musk, orris root, and vanilla blossom.
I'm super curious...I'm just afraid the orris will go baby powder. Otherwise...half bottle or decant. Closet Raid
This is the scent of generations of children raiding their parents closets: my grandmother and mothers Chanel No. 5, my father and grandfathers Lilac Vegetal, my Snake Oil, and Liliths lavender blossoms.
This one is definitely on my check-reviews radar. I think a half-bottle would be great, or possibly a full bottle based on the reviews. Dancing Among the Tombs
Osmanthus and jasmine, Spanish moss and dandelion, Snake Oil and Dorian.
Yes, yes, yes. Bottle. Daybreak
Last nights lavender drops and a whiff of Pickles vanilla coconut pupper shampoo.
Blind bottle! Do All the Good You Can
Madagascar vanilla and sweet patchouli with Yule pine, white fig, and almond blossom.
Pine gives me SERIOUS pause because pencil shavings/hamster bedding. However, if reviews come back positive I want a decant. Do You Like Clowns?
Raspberry ice cream and a smear of black cherry lip gloss.
I'm watching reviews, but generally not my thing. I'd try a decant though. Ego Sum Lux Mundi
Frankincense and myrrh with golden amber, green apple pulp, and white pear.
Curious, but going to hold off on it, though I would not say no to a decant. Gas Masks and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails
Cotton candy and jellybeans with sugar cookie crumbles and vanilla frosting.
Pass. The Goddess of Mischief
White lavender and sweet amber, green oudh, and inky musk.
I don't know what to make of green oudh or inky musk! Even so, I think a decant or half bottle. Heck on Wheels
Red velvet confetti cupcakes and bubblegum.
Cupcake scents have been going plastic on me *cries* so pass. Huntress
Funnel cakes, baked apples, and strawberry cream.
Mebbeh a decant? Not sure I'll enjoy it. Little Photojournalist
Cathedral incense and rock candy.
Pass. Paying Her Respects
Star jasmine and tobacco leaf.
I love star jasmine but I tend to amp tobacco so...hesitantly watching reviews. Decant maybe. Pew! Pew!
Blue raspberry slushy, a bowl of strawberries, and microwavable popcorn
Pass.
Poke!
Coconut and red currant, red musk, and a pop of surgical steel.
Thinking about blind bottling this one. HB at a minimum. Potamides
Honeysuckle and honey, water lilies and white sage.
Considering blind bottling this one too. Honeysuckle has been doing it for me and my mom said "Oh I bet it smells like the old lake place!" so, nostalgia factor.
Snowball Fight!
Snowballs and vanilla ice cream.
I'm hoping for a Snowblind! Bottle! The Spectral Flower Girl
Black lilies, red roses, and babys breath.
Sounds like it could go Old Lady on me. Pass...but I will stalk reviews just in case... Storyboard: Julius Caesar
Macerated myrrh, rose petals, and iris with frankincense and a splash of blood.
Pass. Storyboard: The Tempest
Ivy and lime rind, marigold and moss.
Pass Valuable, Powerful, Deserving
Golden amber, vanilla oudh, and orange blossom.
Haunting reviews hardcore. Hoping it's a hit so I can get a bottle. Vampire Princess
Blood musk and lavender with bourbon vanilla, plum oudh, black patchouli, and Romanian wildflowers.
It has me curious. What's a blood musk like? I tend to rock bourbon vanilla. I think maybe a decant is in order, or a half-bottle. Winter at the Capitol
The hope and valor of iris blossoms twined with chrysanthemums bold fearlessness, violets vigilance, oleanders caution, and white and red roses for unity.
Pass because violets.
