Ondine

How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in With gently smiling jaws! Chocolate peppermint, mint-soaked vanilla, pistachio, oakmoss, and green cedar. Mocks Against Idleness and Mischief. Beautiful! Like a blast of chocolate mint. Do you like Andes Mints or things of that ilk? Then you will love this. I don't pick up pistachio, oakmoss, or cedar--just chocolate and mint EDIT: I wore this the other day and did start picking up the oakmoss more after the chocolate and mint burned off. It was like eating mint Milanos in the forest.

NEVAR Black plum and opium poppy with violet leaf and petal, white musk, indigo incense smoke, olibanum, vetiver, and cacao. I usually like scents with a lot of deep, dark notes, and I'm a fan of incense and plum. I picked this one up on the hopes that it would be in the Mme. Moriarty/Misfortune Teller v3/Snake Charmer family. It's not, really, so the plum here is really not dominant, at least on me. What I'm getting most of is violet and incense. In fact, what this most reminds me of is if I lit a stick of Japanese violet incense--not super smoky, a bit faint, but light and slightly sweet. Definitely in the same light vein as Pursue Rabbit, this one is a close to the skin kind of scent. I don't smell much vetiver at all and I can usually pick it out if it's too heavy. This scent visually reminds me of a light purple smoke. Very pretty and not what I was expecting at all. If you liked the Convergence scent B340, with its violet notes, you will probably like this. They are very similar.

If you have ever smelled the prototype Butter Arsenic, this smells VERY much like it to me--smoky opium. Lovely.

If you have ever had Lapsang Souchong tea, this smelled a lot like that in my hair--apparently I amped the smoky vanilla note, and it was a very smoky scent (the tea isn't present, just the smoky note from Lapsang) and then I get a little coffee and pumpkin. This was interesting to try but I don't know it seemed like actual pumpkin latte on me.

This is a beautiful mixture of blueberry, which burns off quickly, and fresh greenery. It's sweet greenery, most likely the magnolia is what I'm smelling, and it's just overall a very fresh and sweetly beautiful green floral-ish scent with berry. And it's fairly strong on me too, as some of the others were pretty light and dissipated nearly immediately. I will likely get a whole bottle of this one.

I love carnation. I love patchouli. This is a lovely carnation dominant scent on me. I don't really get much corn chip paws, but there is definitely something kind of warm and snuggly in with the carnation. Beautiful. I wasn't sure about this at first but I kept going back to it more and more. Will be picking up a full bottle.

This smells like Snow White to me. I tried to get the pepper but my nose doesn't pick it up. But if you love Snow White, Pink Snowballs, those scents, you'll love this.

I've tried Coconut Vanilla Tiare, and that one was fairly strong on me and heavy on the tiare. This one is much, much lighter. Unfortunately, so much lighter that I put it on and minutes later it disappears It's more coconutty, which I love, but not strong enough for me.

Dragon's blood cotton candy with a touch of cinnamon!

Coconut and mint. I love it. If you like the idea of these two things together you will probably love this. More heavy on the coconut to me.

Yes, very reminiscent of TKO. I love it! If you are a fan of lavender and vanilla you will like this.

Do you like Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple? You will love this. CCCA is one of my favorite perfumes and this smells just like it in my hair. Delightful!

I love it. Smells just like a Terry's chocolate orange.

This smells like the tea note from Teatime in Roswell or Lilith's Tea Party plus some chocolate. So if you like those tea fragrances and a little chocolate in it, you might like this.

Bear in mind that I haven't tried Fenris Wolf (the released version) on at all. The oil is a reddish color and on application I am immediately hit with a sense of powerful masculinity. This scent would be HOT on the right man. Yet I think it's nice also on a woman. I smell almost a cola-like note underneath muskiness. It's definitely like the red musk the released version describes but I'm not picking up on amber in it at all, so maybe the amber note in the released version was replaced with the cola note I'm smelling here. Overall, it seems closest to me like Schwarzer Mond, so if you liked that blend, you'd also likely enjoy this one.

Inspired by one of Gail Potocki's extraordinary interpretations of the Cheshire Cat, and created exclusively for Century Guild! An enigmatic blend of vanilla-infused sandalwood with wild black tobacco, white tea leaf, matcha, white musk, orange blossom, pale incense, and opium tar. I tend to go for things with opium tar, sandalwood, and orange blossom, so this sounded right up my alley when I first saw it! I just got my bottle today (along with some nice postcards from the Century Guild event/other companies with Fragmented Alice items like Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics). Of course I had to immediately slather some on and see! My first impression, now that I'm looking at the notes, is a little odd: Lime! I'm smelling something citrusy, something that strikes me as lime. I've let it settle for a few minutes and I'm still getting drifts of citrus and a sort of opium-smoke note underneath. This scent is medium to light throw on me, and when I describe it as smoky, it's more like when you light an incense stick in another room and you can now and then catch the scent on the breeze as it wafts in to other rooms. It's not heavy or overwhelming at all, just light and wafting occasionally like smoke. It's a somewhat sweetish scent to me; maybe that's the vanilla and/or white musk. Everything seems well balanced here, with no notes overwhelming the others. This is really fantastic and if you're a fan of incense notes or light citrusy floral type notes, this would probably be up your alley. It reminds me of the prototype Butter Arsenic, but a lighter, sweeter, less heavy-handed one--it retains that delicious opium tar/smoke feel but here, unlike Butter Arsenic, it's just like smoke wafting past you and you grab impressions of it as it moves under your nose. Edited to say it also strikes me like Stormclouds over the Midway from Carnaval Diabolique: I think it's the incense and opium tar that makes them feel similar! Now I wish I had more than one bottle as I know this one is a keeper and if and when it runs out, I'll be sad

Like Little Bird, this smelled like Antikythera Mechanism hair gloss to me. Nice, but not what I was expecting given the notes!

This one starts out smelling a lot like Strawberry Moon 2009 the perfume oil, but quickly the strawberry recedes on me and it's really mainly the vanilla sugar portion. It's nice, but it's not the strawberry blast I wanted it to be, and so I guess I'll use Enveloped in Silk for that

I can't really figure out what this smells like yet. People above were saying red musk but it doesn't strike me like the Lab's red musk (I usually don't love it) and Smut, but it's not really Smutty to me. Nor is it like Formula 54, which is one of my favorites. It's just ... awesome. I keep catching little whiffs of it and thinking it smells really, really good. About the closest thing I can think of is an atmo spray called Thriambus that was "shiraz, clove cigarettes, tobacco, spilled absinthe, latex, vinyl, and artificial fog." The feel of the two is similar--the smoke/club/red smell. Anyway, if you like smelling like smoky musky mystery, this is for you.

On me, this is a very sweet, uplifting kind of scent. I really enjoy this scent and it's something I would categorize as a "pick me up" sort of perfume for when you're feeling down. I'm terrible with scent impressions, but it's definitely coming across on my skin as a creamy scent with perhaps a touch of white floral, not heavy at all (maybe gardenia?) and citrusy, like an undertone of bright lemon. It strikes me as being in the same family as Velvet Nudie, so if you enjoyed that one you might like this too. It's somewhat fleeting on me, though, and becomes quite close to the skin after about five minutes. Later, after most of it has burned off, I get a lingering coconut note, which is great!

It's chocolate and cinnamon on me. El Dia is one of my favorite BPAL scents, and this smells so much like one of my older bottles of El Dia on me. I love it.

Too bad I didn't get more of the chocolate or plum, two notes I love. I enjoy Boomslang and Boomslang v2 on me, but this didn't smell much like either on my skin at all. Just hay, hay, and more dusty hay

I really enjoyed the smell of this--I could smell the buttercream predominantly at first, but thankfully it burned away quickly (I don't do well with the slightly soured milk note the lab's cream usually turns to on me). After the buttercream fades, it's a beautiful smooth cinnamon, much like a craft store at Halloween or a fall-scented candle. But in a really good way! Sadly, my skin burns at the hint of cinnamon so I can't wear this; even in a scent locket, there was a red spot where my locket sat against my skin. Bummer.

Definitely struck me like Bath and Body Works Sensual Amber or Flowerbomb. Both are scents I enjoy and this smells very much like them. It's sweetish, floriental, and beautiful.

This was the one I was least expecting to work on me--in the past, the champagne and effervescent scents like Geek Goth, Champagne & ____, etc. have sadly fallen flat (no pun intended) on my skin. But this one is just ever so slightly fizzy, not overly so. It's "clean" like others have said earlier: sweet, a slight bit soapy maybe? It reminds me of lathering up with a peach-scented shower gel, honestly. It's nice, with a medium throw. And yes, the labels are adorable. Thanks to my lovely pickup fairy for hooking me up with this!
