[No additional description provided.] I get mainly tinsel and amber. Honestly, it was slightly masculine on wet, and then the amber comes peeping through.

Lumps of pumpkin fudge, marshmallow glop, cookie crumbs, caramel smears, and bits of sticky fuzz. Brown sugar, cookies, pumpkin an and a whiff of candy. This smells like sugary pumpkin cookies. I sort of want to eat my hair.

Sage, juniper, and cypress. This smells sunny, and like the outside. Medium throw and wear length.

Plum, oudh, and osmanthus. So this end up a plummy perfumey white type of floral. Great throw and wear length.

Spices, with a brush of creamy fig and date. This smells like it has turmeric and ginger in it, and maybe all spice. It's a savory fruity sort of blend. It's very comforting, and dare I say it, healing? Medium throw and wear length.

This past February, Lilith competed in her first debate tournament. She was asked to come in “business casual”, and this is the best we could do. A scent for child orators: pleather and chalk dust with a handful of chewy fruit candies. (We can’t say “Skittles”, even though that’s all she ate throughout the entire tournament! Don’t sue us, Skittles! Lilith just loves Skittles!) Skittles. This smells like sugary fruit candy, and then on the drydown you get a whiff of the chalk dust. But hey, you want Skittles, here's a non-branded Skittles perfume. Medium throw and wear length.

Sparkling sugary apple cider with a whiff of grapefruit. Sweet, candy, fizzy. Medium throw and wear length.

Palo santo, grass, and a whiff of sandalwood. There's an almost effervescent quality to the grassy-woodsy sandalwood. Medium throw and wear length.

Popcorn, pumpkin pie and a whiff of cream. This is mainly a pumpkin popcorn blend. Delicious. If you love, Mouse Circus, this is like the pumpkin version of that. Good throw and wear length.

Red currant, oudh, and patchouli. This is a fruitier, kinder version of Nasty Woman. That said, I am amping out the oudh and it definitely drowning out the patchouli base making it way more floral than I anticipated. Good throw and wear length.

Sugary honey patchouli. This is definitely a honeyed patchouli, and it sort of reminds me to Badgers but a little lighter and less floral. There's an almost brown leather quality to the patchouli on this. Good throw and wear length.

Coconut, lavender, and a whiff of citrus. The coconut comes on strongly on wet, and then recedes and I get more of a citrusy lavender. Very comfy. It's like lavender went to the beach and slathered on some suntan lotion. Medium throw and wear length.

I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being. 
 Oscar Wilde Lilith has loved the theater since we first took her to see Matilda when she was five. She loves musicals, she loves plays, she loves Shakespeare and Sondheim. She loves huge productions and local improv, she loves Hamlet and drag revues. She loves the pageantry and the intimacy, and loves performing in shows and attending shows equally. This is the scent of the pile of junk food that accompanies us to almost every performance: chocolate chip cookies, pretzels, caramel corn, and a little slurp of soda. Chocolate chip cookies, sugar and a whiff of pretzels. Pretty much this smells like chocolate chip cookies. Medium throw and wear length.

Chocolate toasted cereal, marshmallows and milk. Okay, so this is like a slightly more chocolate version of the cereal milk that Momofuku does. So yeah, cereal milk. Medium throw and wear length.

Lilies, lychee and magnolia. This one is a gentle, floral unisex blend. Medium throw and wear length.
