Ginger, coconut, and red musk. If you love all three, you have to try this.
-
I mainly get warm musk, sandalwood, with touches of peony and vanilla orchid. This one is a sexy musky bath oil.
-
This smells warm, peppery with dragon's blood and a touch of cinnamon. It's warm and red, but with an edge of chill that comes from the menthol. It's definitely very cinnamony. Good throw.
-
Blueberries and violets. There's something powdery and not quite natural about this you spray it on first. The violets actually sort of smelled like irises to me.
-
Perfumed honey. This smells like perfume and honey, and dries down to a perfumey musky honey.
-
Vanilla, and a hint of linen. The decant sample I received was blue, which I found a little odd. Low throw and wear length.
-
Cool manly cologne, swig of coffee, and a ton of shiny black leather. Masculine. Strong. Good throw and wear length.
-
Apple booze, tobacco, amber, and a touch of copal. Huh, I am really sort of enjoying Solstice Lace. Like alot. Good throw and wear length.
-
Candied strawberries. It's a sugary, fresh strawberry smell. For those of you that love strawberry moon or any of the strawberry/candy blends from BPAL tries this out. Sugary, sweet, pink. Good throw and wear length.
-
Honey, whiskey, sweat and blood. This smells like a bar fight, with whiskey and sweat. Masculine. I get a ton of whiskey from this. Good throw and wear length.
-
Orange, rosemary, peppermint and cloves. This smells cozy and like healing medicine. Sadly, my skin eats it within an hour.
-
Sugary oranges with spicy pepper and carnation. This one is a much more playful and sugary scent on wet, and then it dries and the spice comes out. Good throw and wear length.
-
Amber, saffron, honey with a tinge of orange blossom. This is a thick, middle eastern type of honey. In fact, this is the type of honey that Bast would enjoy. Warm, exotic, spicy. Good throw and wear length.
-
Amber, white musk and black musk. The amber acts like a medium for the white and black musks, so it toggles between both of them. Gender nuetral, but sometimes the black musk pitches it into masculine territory. Good throw and wear length.
-
Clean, soapy water. There's something almost baby-powdery about it. Cool, light, innocent. Would make a great starter aquatic for a young boy. Good throw and wear length.
-
Violet, myrrh, and a hint of patchouli. This is dark, slinky, and fun. Good throw and wear length.
-
For me, Bast smells like a combination of both Bastet and Morocco. Spiced, honeyed vanilla and myrrh. Warm, slinky, great skin scent. Low throw, great wear length.

"You're dead, Mad Sweeney," said Shadow. "You take what you're given when you're dead."
"Aye, that I shall," sighed the dead man sitting in the back of the hearse. The junkie whine had vanished from his voice now, replaced with a resigned flatness, as if the words were being broadcast from a long, long way away, dead words being sent out on a dead frequency.
Tinny eucalyptus and elemi against a flat black backdrop of opoponax.
Minty elemi and white florals. This one is wispy and like an aldehyde. You get white, wispyness, and fragility. Good throw and wear length.
-
Honey, milk, and blood. Creamy, sweet, and bloody. A milk and honey offering for a god. Good throw and wear length.
-
On wet, this is green and ozoney, and then dries down to get more spicy/frankincense on the drydown. Clean, misty. Good throw and wear length.
ETA: I tried this, and I swear this sort of makes me think of men's fougere - very clean, slight floral tone with the asphodel, but its green and ozoney, and the drydown has that spice/frankincense that anchors it. I may give it to mr. zee_zee to try out.
-
Exhaust, resins, dirt, and blood. This one smells hot, scorched, dirty with soil and blood. It smells deserted and hopeless, and like rusted dreams. Medium throw and low wear length.
-
Sweet peeled oranges. It's sweet, tart, and what you'd expect from an orange. Low throw and wear length though.
-
Pine and ozone give way to soft brown musk, vanilla, and a touch of hay. It starts off as cold and crystalline and dries down to a warm, skin scent. Low throw, great wear length.
-
White tea and bergamot. This is a silvery bergamot blend with hints of white tea and musk. It's clean, silvery, and gender neutral. Medium to low throw and average wear length.

To me on wet, this coded as a sugary black cherry jelly. You get the sugar and the cherry bits, and as it dries I get more of a sugary meringue with a bit of crust. The cherry fades on the drydown on me. Medium throw, low wear length.
If you're into cherry or sugary blends, give this a whirl.
