    Whispers of Monstrous Things

    very sickly-sweet, emphasis on the sickly. I think it's the leather and tonka that smell almost mildewed...after reading the Poison Queen's I agree with a bit of cucumber, though it's still a little more mildew than cucumber on my skin and faint inky blackness permeates, but no specific note jumps out

    Picture Books in Winter

    very sweet sugary warm gingerbready caramel (Tablet) in bottle. Fades fast on skin. But still sweet. Hints of musty paper, no leather turns slightly more dry-papery after a bit with maaaaybe small hint of leather, the sweetness is warm and comforting, and the whole scent is very soft

    Marquise de Merteuil

    wet: very much like cologne of amber and florals as it dries: some sweet gum-like peach comes out. dry: Fresh and clean, peach takes over quickly without being overpowering. still hint of florals. it's a lovely blend that works well, just not my kind of scent

    Elegy No. 1 S. 196

    I put it on and instantly get a scent that's very sweet, white, and juicy. It turns quickly to lemon cake, wafting back and forth between something more sandalwood and something more lemon-cleaner, but usually staying sweet enough to conjure cake

    Lindworm

    heavy on the grass and herbs, I can smell the leather beneath it if I try, but too green for me and almost headache-inducing turns acrid as it dries down and the leather comes out, but it's a hard, dry leather have to wash it off

    GOP

    very light maybe a bit of woods and citrus - like if you cleaned a wooden piece of furniture with a slightly citrus cleaner and a soft (skin?) musk comes off as fresh and clean....a little too clean (and the citrusy starts to come out more.) *edit - turns kind of fresh green

    PNSAK21

    Hopefully this is in the right place... It's so soft in the bottle I can hardly smell it. Initially on my skin it's still very soft and pleasant with an almost herby/earthy/woodsy/insence quality that's nice but I can't put my finger on it. After an hour or so the scent turns very "brown", not exactly earthy but has that quality to it. It's not a strong scent. *edit - later in the day it's a tad more incense, but still "brown" and it's really, really faint (nose to wrist)

    PX79

    a musky cedar cologne, VERY masculine, very strong. And a hint of something minty that comes out much more after a few minutes, creating a weird mix. A heady scent

    PEXO

    heavy spices, warm, clove, some sarsaparilla that's a little sour and a little sweet

    Tanuki No Amiuchi

    I love this blend. Nice spices without being too incensy, and also has a sweet-sharpness however it disappears completely from my skin within 30 minutes

    Byron v13

    LOVE IT sweet, almost incense and a bit leathery

    Hideous Heart

    I seriously AMP this! I smell candy! cinnamon like red hots, some cherry and licorice. it's just too strong for me

    NGIFR6

    spice! yellow and resin-y

    Oak King v4

    cherry cough syrup and sawdust

    The Storyteller's Parlor Atmosphere Spray

    heady and heavy like a hunting lodge, musky and old smoke and brandy too closed in a butch for me

    Inextinguishable Hatred

    oh dear god. i've tied BPAL that I haven't liked before, but words cannot describe how awful this is. I really tried to describe it when I put it on my skin, but I was almost gagging brown, decayed, mildew,... ug

    The Seekim

    ew. I get pinesol with cocoa and rum. not a good mix

    The Hell of Great Heat

    wow - that's some strong cinnamon. reminds me Uranus. there something black in there, and (now that I saw someone else mention it) Coke. but mainly cinnamon I do think I'm getting little hints of the incense notes, but if I didn't know to "look" for them I might not be... it's not totally overpowering, but too strong of a candy-cinnamon for me *edit it fades down a lot after about 30 minutes. I can tell there are other notes besides cinnamon now, but I can't pick them out individually; the cinnamon is a bit sweeter/lighter but now the whol thing is very close to teh skin

    A Dreary Night of November

    I get lots of white sandalwood, keep sniffing, and there's vetiver and a bit of clove it's really nice and smooth; one of the smoothest, softest vetiver scents I've tried I can't pick out the other notes separately, except maybe some beeswax off and on (the clove has disappeared into thebackground), but it's a gorgeous mix that's not too overwhelming it's both light and dark

    Dragon's Eye

    the DB is very nice. The rest of the florals turn a bit salty. Not quite like Dragon's Tears though - not that salty. more of a sharpness. not overpowering, but I prefer my DB tempered with something like musk or leather or sandalwood.

    Leather Phoenix

    first let me say that I bought three (3) bottles of this and they are all the same I get absolutely NO leather in the bottle or on my skin, and the dreaded ROSE has taken over I'm leaving it on for now (bracing myself for the Rose-headache) just in case it changes....but I'm not hopeful. Rose wins 99.9% of the time it goes a pit Pinesol for about 5-10 minutes, then soapy for 5-10 minutes - then back to Rose with a hint of incense ** and it fades down a LOT in 2 hrs...just rose on my skin and maybe a hint of incense...and almost disappears an hour or two after that (just a hint of rose on my skin) NO LEATHER

    TCM2

    I wish I got all that in mine in the bottle - opium, resins, and slightly cologne-y on my skin - very faint and a bit more biting/sharp....then it turns to a sweet floral that's very clean....and underneath bit of vetiver *sigh* not what I was wanting

    Ded Moroz

    this is the ONLY rose scent so far that I can wear. Normally, I amp it so much it gives me a splitting headache. Here it's so soft and subtle and nice...but there's still a "bite" in my nose to smell it it doesn't really smell "floral" or "herby" on me...but something in between and I can't pick out any other notes specifically

    NGPR2

    in the imp I smell sweet tarts on my skin, I get sweet tarts and musky incense. the sweet tarts goes away VERY quickly (just a few minutes), leaving a nice soft vetiver (not overwhelming like in some other blends) tempered with pencil shavings lol and an incense note and maybe a hint of wood...I'm not sure they would have come to mind without seeing ZZ's post...but after reading it, I can kinda pick them out underneath the vetiver and pencil shavings

    XNIA2

    Very light and sweet - Floral! almost a fruit note to it as well. I also picking up one of the labs lighter Rose notes (which always are bad on me) very much like one of the lighter Last Unicorn scents... I don't get any earthy or patchouli
