Red jammy roses with a whiff of cherry. This is definitely a red rose with cherry elements. Lush, big, female. Good throw and wear length.

Plum oudh and wine. Honestly, it makes me think of a super floral plum sake. But more plummy and perfumey. Good throw and wear length.
-
This one is for the lads! Leather, fig, and cardamom. This has the same brown leather note that I tend to associate with Quincy Morris blends, but honestly the closest approximation that I can think of right now might be the male version of Ms. Fanny Phippany. Kinda dirty, leathery, and rolling around in pleasure. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Almond, rose, myrrh, touch of honey, wool, and musk. This smells mainly of almond-rose, but as you sniff closer you realize how incredibly complex the background is. It smells female, redolent, and comforting. Good throw and wear length.

Cobwebby prototype. Last seen available via etsy. No scent description given.
All LU starting prototypes are for the Last Unicorn series. My guess is that AT stands for Amorous Tree.
This one is a slightly different version. It's got mist, citrus, a touch of florals, some menthol or camphor, and underneath a woodsy/cedary note. I'm mainly smelling the mist-lemon-menthol on wet though. It's a soft, pleasant, sort of sunshiney blend though. Good throw and wear length. -
Oh god, I can't believe I didn't update this. I've owned a previous bottle of this and then let it go. According to my notes, this one is a foodie/dough version, more almond and cinnamon than the original. It was soft and gourmand vanilla, with just a smidge of cocoa.
-
Titan is an icy orange blossom and aquatic blend. It's got a bit of Lightning's ozone, a tad of citrus, and something that I swear smells like lavender underneath. Medium throw and good wear length.
-
Lilith's Horrible Error is a mish-mash of floral notes. I do believe it has both pink roses, jasmine, and a citrusy-floral. This is a bright burst of florals. Medium throw and wear length.

Fruity pom with just a touch of clove. This one has great throw, and lovely warmness.
-
Sweet white rose petals and the same slushy snow note as in Marshmallow Snow.
-
Slushy piney snow. Definitely spruce as opposed to pine. Good, piney snow.
-
Spices and champaca. This smells like gingerbread spices and heady champaca. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Basically, I get rose oudh. If you like both roses and oudh, that's what this is. Rosey, perfumey. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Strawberry vanilla cake with a whiff of lavender and flowers. This is a fruity, sweet cakey confection. It reminds me to lavender macarons - in the sense that its a foodie with a strong floral component. Sugary sweet flowers is the drydown. Good throw and wear length.
-
Woody smoke, with a whiff of leather and nuts. I mainly get nuts and woods. Medium throw and wear length.

Minty musky hay that dries down to a vanilla-tinged musk-hay. Fuzzy, warm, and very comforting. Masculine. I think mr. zee_zee would amp up all the sweet elements in this but it's a very friendly blend. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Chalky, dusty, beeswax. If you loved Light of Men's Lives, but it was too much honey or sweetness for you, this one is more somber, toned down version. The chalk element tones down both the honey and sweetness notes. Good throw and wear length.
-
Dark sleepy lavender and amber. It's sort of heavy and smoky lavender. Definitely darker than say First Loves Fades Too, which is my favorite lavender atmo. Not as cuddly as TKO.
-
Cool apples and red currant. It's kinda frosty, very fruity, and very Yule-inspired. Sweet, fruity, good throw and wear length.
-
Ton of apricot and orange blossom, but with a cloying sweet muskiness to it. Too much. Great throw and wear length.
-
Red roses, oudh, with sweaty patchouli-leather. This reminds me to a cross between Whip and Loviatar, but if they had some weird dirt match in it. Good throw and wear length.
-
Cedar, sage, and oudh. This one is actually fairly masculine on me. Very woodsy-herby. Good throw and wear length.
-
Saffron, tobacco and a resiny red musk. This one is a very red blend, but it's mainly red musk + tobacco. Good throw and wear length.
-
Herby honey with a touch of amber. This reminds me a lot to the American Gods' "The Drink of Heroes, the Drink of Gods". It's a honey blend, but it's like a magical honey blend. Honey with purpose. Good throw and wear length.

Yellow rose with tinges of spice, honey, and patchouli. This one is a complex rose and like if Plunder and Spellbound had a rose love child. Good throw and wear length.
