Foody sugary pumpkin with a touch of lavender. Very foodie, very pumpkin. Good throw and wear length.
-
This is like a high aquatic on me. I get ivy, moss, and a smidge of white rose. This honestly reminds me to Host of Air. Great throw and wear length.

Cinnamon, caramel popcorn, and a touch of pumpkin. This just smells foodie, and delicious and convince the zee_zee kid we were baking when he came in the door. So great for the holidays when you want your relatives to think you've been cooking up a storm even if you decided to order pie from the store.

The Actor Ichumura Meeting a Cat Ghost Atmosphere Spray
zankoku_zen replied to roseus's topic in Atmosphere
Bourbon vanilla, tonka, and a touch of lavender. This is a vanilla resinous blend with lavender and a touch of honey. Good throw and wear length. -
Peach, green tea, jasmine and a touch of frankincense. On wet, it was much more of a peach gelee, with citrust notes, and then the jasmine and frankincense came out. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Root beer floats and a leather background. I'm surprised at how much I actually enjoy this blend considering its essentially candy and leather. But hey, there's a playful rough and tumble about this that is great. Low throw and wear length though.
-
Pink rock candy, strawberry cream, and splashes of gin, vermouth, and grenadine. Grenadine, strawberry candy and a hint of gin. This one smells like sweet pink candy with a splash of gin. Very fresh and summery. Great throw and wear length.
-
Tomato leafs and dead leaves. OMG TOMATO LEAF. This reminds me to the Tomato Leaf SN on wet. It dries to a slightly more perfumey leaf blend, but on wet is was green and leafy and deliciously tomato leaf. Good throw and wear length.
-
Green apple, champagne and a touch of melon. Green, sweet, and effervescent. Good throw, low wear length.
-
Sugared lemon and a touch of pumpkin. This sort of smells as if Lemon Scented Sticky Bat flew into a pumpkin pie and got covered in goo. Medium throw and low wear length.
-
Strong black cherry and blackberry cream. It sort of reminds me to Gothabilly and Black Cherry Love oil in scent. Medium throw and wear length. Waaay too foodie for me.
-
Creamy, frozen iris with some powder and aldehydes. It smells like an iris scented cold cream. Chilling, cold, and oddly ceramic to me. Good throw and wear length.
-
Pomegranate, black berry, myrrh and a touch of patchouli. This one was a red-purple fruit mix with some myrrh as the base. Good throw and medium wear length. It ended up a sort of as a pomegranate red wine type of blend on my skin and reminds me to a Lupercalia scent She Crushes for Men Deadly Wine

Dead Leaves, Honeyed Patchouli, and Champaca Blossom
zankoku_zen replied to izile's topic in Halloweenie
This oddly enough smelled like olive blossom, a touch of honey, and maybe some dirty leafy patchouli. This one has been the oddest Dead Leaves on my skin. But yeah, I actually get a very strong olive oil note from this blend. Good throw and wear length. -
Jungle greens, wet dirt and a touch of black musky wood. It smells like a jungle. Dark, damp, and sort of elemental. Medium throw and wear length. I was surprised at how masculine this actually came out on my skin. Good throw and wear length.
-
Dead Leaves, chewy tobacco and just a touch of berry. Actually, the berry may well be MIA since I get a ton of chewy tobacco (it smells like a darker version of French Tobacco SN) and dead leaves. Great throw and wear length.
-
Toasty, creamy oudh with touches of cocoa and patchouli, with just a touch of coffee. It dries slightly muskier than that on my hair.
-
Herbal marigolds, which is herbally and strong and kinda bitter. Good throw and wear length.
-
Sugared cardamom and some light aquatic. No leaves. This almost smells like a fougere. I'd say gender neutral. Low throw and medium wear length.
-
Sour sugary potpourri. I get a bit of the pumpkin coming through, and a ton of sugar, but somehow together it codes to a potpourri/fall spice mix on my nose. Medium throw and wear length. I think this would make a fantastic room scent.
-
Red musk, white musk, and a touch of apple. The apple was stronger on wet, but it was quickly over taken by the musks, primarily the red musk. Slightly appley-red musk Low throw, good wear length.
-
Beeswax, incense, and a touch of ambergris. This is really a beeswax/incense blend. I got alot more of beeswax on wet, and as it dries the incense comes out. The ambergris sort of keeps some of the sweetness of the beeswax in place. Medium throw and wear length.

Ghostly violets. Have you ever seen Cabin in the Woods? If you have, read on. If you haven't, well, spoiler right below. ... You know how those kids chose their own fate in the basement? Yeah, this smells like an old bridal bouquet that has some violet perfume squirted on top, because it smells old and nostalgic. And the minute you breathe it in, you summon a vengeful Miss Havisham type ghost (is this considered a spoiler for Great Expectations, whoops...) in her old, cobwebby bridal dress, who sort of smells nice but underneath has this super menacing aura? And then slowly but surely, she slowly haunts and kills those around you. Ever watched Insidious? Then YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT with Patrick Wilson's character. Ugh, I am getting the chills just remembering that. Actually, to continue with all the movie references, this would be totally at home in the Crimson Peak line. Gothic, ghostly violets. Medium throw and wear length. If you ever wanted a menacing violet blend, well, you got it.
-
Watery delicious apple with a touch of violet. This one smells like the apple fragrances that a royal princess maiden would wear. It's pure apples with just a touch of sophistication. Good throw and wear length. I can see this being a good gateway BPAL for young girls.

Dead Leaves, Chamomile, Red Roses, and White Tea
zankoku_zen replied to Upstart Crow's topic in Halloweenie
Leaves, chamomile, and a hint of red roses. Its an oddly cold and soothing blend to me. The coldness comes from the leaves note, and the chamomile adds a very soothing quality. But it makes me think of the comfort you get when you're close to death. As it dries, I get more of the white tea note and that really makes it more and more spectral to me. Good throw and wear length.
