Blood onmy hands

First on, it's blueberry pancake syrup and butterscotch sauce. Super sweet. Dries down like gooey cherry filled donuts with the rum adding a warm, gooey, caramelized glaze. Sickly-sweet and I rarely enjoy cherry fragrances, but it's very much a cherry pastry scent, if you are looking for that. Reminds me a lot of Toothsome Banketstaaf, actually.

I was hoping that this would be like White Pumpkin Extrait, which I still miss, and which was a buttery pumpkin, creamy vanilla and sort of a real, gooey apple pie smell. So warm, vanilla-y and comforting. White Pumpkin Floss isn't really buttery or creamy to me, and it has a huge punch of cinnamon on my skin. Lots of cinnamon with a little bit of creamy and slightly powdery white chocolate/marshmallow scent. Smells dry rather than the decadent, creamy, butteriness of the White Pumpkin Extrait.

On me, this is a dusty, bland, flat clove with black peppery tones and a hot, sour, perfumey something that I think is the rose. I don't get any vanilla, patchouli, cocoa or cherry *at all.* It's strange. Fades quickly to a black peppery, dusty, woody clove scent that is barely there on my skin. No sweetness.

Goes on smelling like tart, berry-citrus flavored pixie stix candy powdery mixed with perfumey Sun-Ripened Raspberry lotion from Bath & Body Works, and an undertone of fluffy popcorn and salty butter. The lotion and popcorn reminds me of watching movies with my sister when I was in high school and she wore B&BW lotion religiously. It's nostalgic. Dries down to that perfumey-berry lotion, spot-on, and popcorn flavored jelly beans, with an edge of tart candy powder. It's tart, perfumey, a little soapy, and very artificial (fake berries, fake candy, fake butter scent) in a way that turns my stomach after a while. I like the initial whiff for the nostalgia, but it's not really a wearable fragrance at all to me.

I expected this to be dark, slinky, and resinous from the Snake Oil and Schwarzer Mond, but I can't really smell either of those blends here. As others have mentioned, this starts off with a chilly, mentholic pine and a very tart pomegranate. Bpal's pom mostly turn to a sour sweet tarts smell on my skin, and that's what I get from this. As it dries down, the currant, I think, is making it more of a sweet berry smell. It reminds me a little of Kool-Aid or Jello, but with a waxy undertone. Goes powdery on me after about the 45 minute mark - sweet, waxy berries and powder. Snake Oil can go powdery on my skin, so that might be the SO coming out. Fades quickly past this point.

Sharp, dry cinnamon and hints of a smooth, golden, sweet frankincense. Too much cinnamon for me. It does remind me of a more cinnamon-y Faustus.

Plasticy peach and that cranberry jelly scent of Mason & Jenkin's. As the fruits fade, the cigar smoke comes out more and more, and smells warm and sweetly smoky, with a hint of ashes. Not much throw and fades very quickly on me, after the initial, intense burst of fruitiness.

I don't get any pie crust notes and wish that this were sweeter, but it's like a sharp, cinnamon-spiced apple with a hint of sour, green grass on my skin. Mulled apple cider, maybe, with sour green grass. It ventures into holiday spice candle territory on me.

I was hoping for lots of leather, a little cocoa, and little to no gin, but this is the opposite of that. It's tons of gin (that kind of fizzy, kind of evergreen-ish, kind of juniper-berry-y smell) and a hint of stale, waxy chocolate with no leather. I'm not really enjoying the fizzy chocolate scent.

No patchouli or vanilla for me. This is a big blast of smoky, overwhelming, heavy, black vetiver, smelling like charred bbq. I don't like this kind of sharp, heavy smokiness with nothing to soften it.

Cotton Phoenix reminds me more of Dana O'Shee than Snow White or Snake Oil. It has that creamy, sweet, honeyed almond thing to my nose, but this also turns rather soapy on me, I guess from the 'cotton blossom musk.' It's like Dana O'Shee and soapy laundry. Fades very quickly on me, gone by the half hour mark.

A very dry, spicy carnation scent with not much patchouli to my nose (unless that's the extra bit of dry, dusty earthiness to the carnation). I don't smell corn chips either, but there's something of a soapy, perfumey edge to the carnation. More elegantly old fashioned and perfumey (almost a little sour and chypre-ish - dry and mossy) than a sweet or fresh carnation.

Soapy lavender and a hint of sweet strawberry that dries down to a sort of powdery pink bubblegum scent on my skin. The drydown reminds me a lot of the bpal blend 'Motherhood.' Fades very quickly on me.

The cinnamon in this caused a bad reaction on my skin, so there's definitely a good dose of cinnamon in that sparkling apple cider. The sparkling cider dominates and is like a slightly soapy gingerale or champagne note. Cake-y, vanilla-y notes hang out in the background at first, and turn into a sweet, baked apple aroma in the middle stage, with sugar and spice. Dries down to a sharp cinnamon and soapy champagne scent on me, with the vanilla and cake notes pulling a disappearing act.

Intensely tart fruit, smelled almost sour and lemony to me, with no cotton candy to be found. Sour lemon and tart sugar plum type of scent.

No Dorian or clove as far as I can tell. Spinning is a cold, mentholic lavender and green, herbal, minty presence with a pine/evergreen-ish note from the cypress. Cold, medicinal. minty and herbal. I need to stop buying things just because they mention Dorian in the description.

No leather, no bourbon vanilla, no honey, and only the cinnamon part of cinnamon buns. The whole scent comes off as a very sharp, woody cinnamon. It reminds me of plasticy craft store wreaths and cinnamon potpourri oil.

I expected this to be very vanilla-y with the Dorian and Antique Lace, but the citrusy tea and lavender aspects are strongest to my nose. Sugared, lemony tea and powdery, clean lavender. I'm glad that I have several bottles of original Dorian hoarded, because I love how vanilla-heavy it used to be. The Dorian blends and newer Dorian releases are more fresh and musky-citrus-tea-dominant to me.

Simple, soft, low throw and only lasts a couple hours on my skin, but it's a pleasant sandalwood & myrrh where the sandalwood doesn't turn to pure baby powder on my skin. The sandalwood is a warm, toasty, and dry wood note, and the myrrh gives it a dark, rich sweetness. It's one of those fragrances that feels like a warm glow on the skin. A little bit of a dusty, dry, incensey note in the drydown.

Similar to Spiced Rum Buttercream on me (very dry, spicy, lots of sharp cinnamon), but with a hint of sweet apple. I was hoping for more of the vanilla and butter notes, but this is mostly spices on my skin.

A very sharp, tart, slightly sour lemon on my skin, with the hint of clove making it medicinal and strange. I don't get anything like orange or orange blossom. Only lasts about 20 minutes on me before it's just a barely there smudge of sour lemon.

This one is not working for me at all. It smells so cheap and waxy/plasticy on my skin, like a generic vanilla buttercream candle, with a heavy handed wallop of sharp cinnamon potpourri.

Clean, tart apple that doesn't turn full-on soapy, but it always seems like it's on the verge. It smells green to me more than red, and a little apple blossom-y. Makes me think of green apple and apple blossom scented air fresheners. Clean and tart, but still very sweet.

My Little Grotesque (cardamom cupcakes) is one of my favorite bpal foodies, and this is like a cousin of that blend. It's like buttery spice cake instead of yellow cake, and has more of an airy, milky smelling frosting rather than MLG's heavy vanilla buttercream scent. I can smell the cardamom in this, but there's a cinnamon note that's definitely stronger than the cardamom on my skin. Buttery pumpkin cake with a good dose of cinnamon and a milky glaze topping. Probably too much cinnamon for me to wear this a lot, but I think it would be great in an oil warmer.

I get a similar waxy, perfumey, burnt brown sugar thing that I got from Last Year's Stale Candy Corn, with a hint of lemon and a cinnamon note that amps up on me in the drydown. Weirdly, I'm not getting the dead leaves part at all. I would have thought this was one of the pumpkin blends.
