  1. Blood onmy hands

    Thirteen (13): December 2013

    I get nothing like donuts, cake or cookies from this blend it's mostly grape and pomegranate on me. Fruity, tart, and artificially sweet smelling. I smell a little bit of powdery white chocolate and watery greenery (keeps making me think of lettuce), but mostly it's sweet, tart, candy fruits. Kind of reminds me of The Last Unicorn, but with a ton of grape and pom thrown over it.

    Thirteen (13) Ad Lunam

    This is a watery spa type scent, very different from the sweet Thirteens (which I prefer). I definitely smell the tart lemon verbena, sharp and white floral opium poppy, and an herbal lavender, with a watery, cool, soothing blue musk rounding out the edges and smoothing the scent down.

    Lacus Bonitatis

    This is a spring scent to me. Herbal geranium and lavender with hints of floral honey, tart apple and powdery amber. Sort of a bright, herbal, tart fruity-floral. Leans towards being clean smelling on me, but not soapy.

    Lacus Odii

    I love the lab's blood musk note (like a slightly metallic, sweet, cinnamon-spiced version of red musk) and that's the main thing in this blend, so I'm happy. Pink pepper adds more sweetness (always smells oddly like pink bubblegum to me) and the saffron more of a dry, spicy bite. I don't smell any of the neroli, but this is a lovely, red, spicy blend.

    Mare Vaporum

    I rarely like the lab's jasmine and their ambers and white sandalwood tend to turn to baby powder on me, so there really was no hope for this scent. The jasmine actually isn't too awful here, very rich and almost honeyed with just a hint of sourness to it, but it's surrounded by baby powder. Too powdery and dry for me.

    Wolf Moon 2013

    The first 04 Wolf Moon smelled like pine, aquatic and musky florals to me. 06/07 was powdery, cologne-like black musk and weird, sweet herbs. 2011 was snow note and baby powder. 2013 doesn't list the black musk of the 06/07 and none of the black spruce, maple leaves or ambrette seed listed in the 2011. It adds in white tobacco. Not that any of that really matters. 2013 smells mainly of sharp, sour pine that's cold and menthol-like. It reminds me of a medicinal rubbing ointment for sore muscles. The drydown sees some warm, baby powdery amber and sandalwood coming through, but I never smell any tobacco. None of the Wolf Moons have really worked on me.

    Luna Negra 2013

    The previous Luna Negra felt more lushly fruity and always smelled red musky to me. This version is more sharply floral and dry. The lavender smells perfumey and sharp, the fruit is understated, and the amber makes it feel dry and powdery rather than juicy and rich.

    Hunger Moon 2014

    This smells pretty similar to how I remember the 2007 Hunger Moon. Sharp, clean citrus, lots of lemon verbena, and powdery white sandalwood and amber with hints of dry, herbal greenery. The ozone isn't overwhelmingly soapy, but it's there. Too much sharp, sour lemon for me.

    Oceanus Procellarum

    I get a sharp, salty tang and a bit of greenery from the seaweed, but this is mostly a soapy laundry smelling aquatic on me.

    Lacus Mortis

    The asphodel and sandalwood give this a powdery, sharp white floral that hangs all over the dirty, funky, sour earthiness. It smells a bit fecal to me. I normally like all of the listed notes, but the patchouli, castoreum and oakmoss are too much for me in this, mixing together in a heavy, sour, strange way.

    Terra Vigoris

    I agree that this reminds me of the Chinese New Year blends. It's a swirl of juicy fruits, lead by sharp, bright citrus tones. Blood orange, lemony bergamot, and soft, fuzzy apricot are the main players on my skin, with a bit of powdery sandalwood in the drydown.
  12. Blood onmy hands

    Sinus Amoris

    Mostly a very dry, slightly powdery sandalwood incense smell. Warm and woody. I think the red pepper gives it a sharp bite in the drydown. I don't really smell the myrrh or vanilla at all. Fades quickly and doesn't have a lot of throw.

    Metis

    Misty, clean white pine with bright, herbal sage (I actually keep thinking it's chamomile) and a dry, earthy sort of oakmoss. I like my pine scents to be warmer and sweeter, as in Golden Priapus.
  14. Blood onmy hands

    Amalthea

    Slushy, slightly sweet, slightly soapy snow note with some warm, powdery amber in the drydown. I don't get rose or anything pink smelling from this blend.
  15. Blood onmy hands

    Thebe

    This reminds me of bptp's Muilearteach blend (blood red, bone white, and pitch black musks coated in hoarfrost). Red musk with minty, clean snow note and a thick, dark sweetness from the opoponax. Dark and sweetly musky, but also with a clean, cold edge to it.

    Champagne Lace

    I cannot deal with the champagne note. It's fizzy, sickly-sweet and makes me think of throwing up alcohol (it smells weirdly sour and 'pukey' on my skin). I get a strong champagne and then the dry, clean, slightly powdery vanilla musk of the Lace blends.

    Midian Unmade

    I really like this. It reminds me of damp, black dirt and blood musk (which is always kind of a metallic smelling red musk with a cinnamon spiced edge to my nose). The drydown is much the same, but with a soft, smooth, slightly smoky incense note creeping in.

    Mare Nectaris

    Very sweet, juicy peach with a tropical edge from the papaya. Smells like something that would attract hummingbirds . I love the opening, especially, but it loses its juiciness after about a half hour and is more like a peach gummi candy with a dry, warm, musky undertone. Still, I like the sweetness of this.

    Io

    Yellowy, heady, slightly sour jasmine made sharp by the poppy and musk, with a bit of powdery sandalwood and a hint of earthy patchouli.
  20. Blood onmy hands

    Lacus Oblivionis

    Soapy lavender and baby powdery amber. Dries down to all powder on my skin.
  21. Blood onmy hands

    Sinus Iridum

    Tart red currant, sour lemon, creamy orange blossom, and a drydown with a lot of sharp, musky white floral (the poppy and golden musk).

    Moon of the Terrible 2013

    The lab's snow note usually doesn't turn soapy on me, but this is a soapy, sharp aquatic scent on me. I can't pick out the fruit, resins or lavender.
  23. Blood onmy hands

    Insula Ventorum

    Sharp, citrusy white tea with cold menthol/eucalyptus and a powdery amber and white musk drydown.
  24. Blood onmy hands

    Montes Harbinger

    Clean, sharp, perfumey white musk with sharp grapefruit and soapy rose.
  25. Blood onmy hands

    Mare Crisium

    A sharp, soapy citrus that smells like some sort of chemical floor cleaner.
