This one is a watery honeysuckle blend. It's clean, Southern, and very honeysuckle. Good throw and wear length.

I get mainly toasted marshmallow, and a whiff of apple blossom. It's lovely, sweet, and a better version of that apple shampoo that was all the rage in the 90s? In any case, yes, if you love marshmallows or apples.

I get a ton of dragon's blood resin, and milk. It's like a mix of Dragon's Milk, and Sudha Segara. Seriously cuddly. Medium throw and wear length.

No description available Polyphemus smells like it has green musk, hints of leather, kind of green and perfumey. There is a swirl of aquaticness to it, floral tinges. I think that this is pretty, green, slightly aquatic blend. Definitely very in line with the rest of the Phoenix Steamworks line. Thanks to the forumite who gave me a bit to test.

Ozone on wet, and then it dries to a cool vanilla cream. It reminds me a little to Snowblind actually.

Syrupy peach and pear, with a tinge of rosey musk and a blush of vanilla. Great throw and wear length.

On wet, I get a giant hint of dandelion. However, as it dries, both the jasmine, osmanthus, and moss come out. It becomes a more jasmine aquatic floral blend. There's a bit of Dorian backbone in it, with additional amping up of vanilla from the Snake Oil. But yeah, the jasmine is getting aggressive on my skin, which probably means its star jasmine. Great throw, of course.

Berry pancakes. I mainly get berries, sugar, pancake batter and maybe a whiff of pumpkin. This smells fruity, sweet, and oh so delicious. On the drydown it has a propensity of sort of smelling like the milk from a sugary fruity breakfast cereal. Good throw and wear length.

Light jasmine and a whiff of tobacco leaf. This one is ethereal, ghostly, and delicate. Very shadowy. Medium throw, medium wear length.

I get a ton of bourbon vanilla from this. It's a rich vanilla with tinges of orris and musk that in fact, on first whiff all smell like coconut vanilla to me. Medium throw and wear length.

Iris, violet, and white rose. This one is a soft, delicate blend. It's very bittersweet to me. There's a fragility and delicateness to this blend. Low throw, medium wear length.

Coconut and red musk. I agree that the pop of steel gives it a little coolness. It's a very creamy, light, coconut musky blend. I think the currants add a tart fruitiness to the coconut (working in the same way that lime would, for example). Refreshing. Good throw and wear length.

I got mainly inky musky oudh and a touch of lavender to soften it up with a bit of amber. It's dark musky blend (not too dark, but dark enough). Good throw and wear length.

Coconut + TKO. It's a soft, cuddly scent. If you like coconut and you like TKO, this is a match made in heaven. Medium throw, but great wear length.

I get plum, oudh, patchouli and musk. This smells dark, musky, and purple. With an overlay of florals. But it's a deeper, darker, blend. Medium throw and wear length.

I mainly get black cherry lip gloss with a smidge of ice cream on the drydown. This actually smells very very similar to Nobodies Watching Wrestling to me, but just slightly softer (also, no leather). Good throw and wear length.

Honestly, this smells like red velvet cupcakes and sort of reminds me to MB Closet, but a little less sweet, a little less baked goods, and with a dash of extra vanilla. There's no cream cheese. But it's a sweet, red baked scent that really just seems like red velvet to me.

Light winey grape incense with a dusting of sugar. This one is soft, sweet, and on the drydown does the incense come through. Medium throw and wear length.

On wet, I get a tinge of lime, but its mainly a moss and ivy blend. It's a very smooth aquatic. Very unisex. Great throw, good wear length.

Sweet myrrh, touch of rose and resins, and a bit of powderiness from the iris. This one is a sweet, slightly floral resinous blend. Medium throw but great wear length.

Banshee Beat-esque patchouli, vanilla, with the addition of fig and pine on wet. The pine is sort of mintiness, but it dries down a vanilla patchouli with fig blend. Medium throw and wear length.

Orange blossom and amber. This is bright neroli note, and on the drydown it sort of smells like orange fruit loops, but hey, orange and sugar! Good throw and wear length.

Strong baked apple pie, and a ton of crust. Loads of cinnamon. I dabbed this on my elbow, and in my first 12+ years of BPALing, I had an allergic reaction for the first time. I put this on the crook of my elbow yesterday and it definitely blew up. Good throw and wear length.

I just get buttery bubblegum. Red velvet cakes and bubblegum. Medium throw and wear length.

To me, this smells like Chanel and lavender vanilla. This smells sophisticated, and elegant. It's a traditional perfume. Good throw and wear length. I'm kinda thinking of a big bottle.
