    Proverbs 24:11-12

    I get absolutely no leather, which for a leather-lover like me is disappointing instead it's fresh and airy like the person above said. there are moments it smells floral ... or medicine-y...at arm's length it smells like my nemesis Rose oudh is the only note I can pick out, and not constantly

    Lavender Lace

    pretty lavender, not too "sleepy" thanks to touch of other notes/vanilla? Super low throw that fades fast.... when I put nose-to-wrist I can smell the wonderful smoky, almost chewy, vanilla with a beautiful lavender...too bad I can't smell it otherwise.

    The Fool’s Dog

    white bright, a touch of clean grass, and something else I can't quite place Very veeeeeeeery similar to Bub (from the Paranorman line, and also a "dog" scent). Bub is slightly sweeter, while Fool's Dog is slightly more of that plastic kaboodle scent (you know it if you've ever had one lol) similar throw too, but doesn't last quite as long as abub ...on me Bub is the winner in notes, throw, and how long it lasts

    The Scapegoat

    bright woody balsam with pepper spice. Low throw. More woody than leathery

    Nobodies Watching Wrestling

    I love the Lab's leather notes including black leather, but fruity doesn't always appeal to me.... and that's kinda what happened here. this is spot-on strawberry lipgloss. It reminds me of the 90s especially, which is fitting I think -- this is what hits the nose first then the black leather rears up, strong and dark. together it's an interesting blend. Sometimes I get wafts of the lipgloss, sometimes the leather, and sometimes a weird powdery or slightly sour and creamy scent over leather.... I think I'll stick to my other (vast collection) of leathers I prefer more, but this is definitely worth trying!

    LORDY

    I get aquatic cucumber too.... no coffee, no leather, no cologne. so weird

    Mechanical Dragon Manufactory Atmosphere Spray

    sprayed it on my hair lol - VERY long lasting that way very much oiled and greased gears and coal dust. NO leather and no DB... to oily/greasy for me...but if you're really trying to capture the steampunk vibe check it out

    Fortuna Belli

    weiiiiiiird first sniff: ooh, tomato leaf and... BAM! candy sweet!!! bubblegum!!! what...? *keeps sniffing* BUBBLEGUM AND CANDY underneath the sweetness is some wonderful notes of incense and even leather, but they are very faint ...it's so bizarre! but it doesn't smell sweet in the bottle...so my skin is super morphing it I guess

    Fortuna Bona

    yup - LOTS of cedar. it went on more sage with hints of oudh, then cedar blasted its way in and took over I get no floral notes or ambergris

    Fortuna Restitutrix

    I bought a full bottle hoping for a gorgeous leather blend to add to my leather collection unfortunately this is a super-clove scent instead in the bottle it's spicy clove and that's about it on my skin it's CLOVE - spicy and warm... and something sickly-acrid-yellow. No leather thankfully, whatever sickly note is in there dies down some, but this remains a strong clove blend *edit - turns to potpourri as it settles...

    Fortuna Barbata

    The Fortunes of Adolescents A hymn to blossoming in wisdom and strength as you come of age: King mandarin and warm vegetal musk. orange-scented soap. That's it. and I don't think it's my normal skin-chemistry morphs it to soap situation because it's instant. there *might* be some veggie musk in there after a few minutes but it all smells so chemically-soapy I can't really tell

    The Old Robber-Woman

    I also get motor oil, leather, and metal. very dirty and grimey ... and yet there's something about it I like on my skin *edit. hours later it's a LOT softer. I can only smell it when I put nose to wrist. but the scent itself is softer (less harsh), more perfume than grime.

    It is Gold! It is Gold! Hair Gloss

    huh. it IS mint. like a mint leaf and not like peppermint or spearmint or anything. and the leather is gorgeous! if you're a love of the Lab's brown leather note, this is a win

    Disrespect for Established Authority

    smokey heavy almost clove-like. Settles to almost sweet (copal?) reddish and maybe vanilla over hints of leather, my skin eats it so it doesn't last long.

    Single Note: Hag Musk

    a cooking-like spice to the musk at first. overall a very brown musk. *Maybe* a bit of sweet dragon's blood...or a resin? reminds me of other scents I like....but with a lighter throw
