This is such a beautiful scent but its soooo light! I can barely smell it on my skin. :-( I know aging will make it stronger...I hope :-)
-
I just got my bottle today and I could smell leather when I opened the package! Holy amazingness! Leather, cardamom, spices...love it so hard!
-
Oh dear lord this smells edible. Chocolate, creamy vanilla and a hint of coconut. Oh my goodness. Sorry for the not so helpful review but hot damn this smells delicious!!!
-
I love this oil. Leather, patchouli, oak, vanilla and almond fabulousness. Love. Why does it have to be sold out? ETA: so glad i have 2 bottles! This is aging so well...leather, smooth patchouli, touch of almond and creamy vanilla. GORGEOUS.
-
This is so good. Wonderful. I bought this a while ago and decided to bathe with it tonight...Patchouli and a hint of ylang with mostly lemon and a hint of grapefruit. Delicious. I love the scent that clings to my skin...so glad I bought this. It will see a lot of use this spring!

Cypress, red patchouli, hiba wood, bois de rose, white sandalwood, gunpowder green tea, polished ebony, and black orchid. I really really like this, but I'm not able to describe it! The first two notes I recognize are green tea and cypress...they're gorgeous together! I smell just a hint of the red patchouli but only a bit to ground the ethereal tea/cypress blend. I don't usually like rosewood on my skin but I'm not smelling it here. As this dries down, the black orchid comes downstage for a bow...this is truly a beautiful perfume! Very complex yet extremely simple? I never would have thought I would love this, and I may want a bottle! ETA I can smell the Hiba wood now...this just keeps getting better! ETA and now this smells like a lighter version of TF Black Orchid (which is just fine with me) I love this!!!

I love this. It reminds me of layering Haunted over October. Good stuff!
-
I love all of the massage oils, and this is no exception. The grapefruit, lemon and orange blossom are deliciously uplifting and the lavender and sweetgrass calm me down so I can sleep. Really great.
-
Thank you so much for this blend! I love it. Yes, it smells warm and golden and, dry on my skin, reminds me very much of Oblivion. Here's hoping it helps bring about some progress in my life.

Yummy butter rum cookies. Spot on!
-
Dark floral...started off really soapy and sharp but has mellowed into a beautiful wafting scent. Perfumey in a good way.
-
This is beautiful! Lillies and a bit of rose under just a touch of snow... eta: this is the "snow" perfume I've been looking for. Reminds me of Before the snowy window minus tuberose (which I also love). Win.
-
LOVE. I can't add anything new. Snake Oil + Gingerbread...perfectly spiced with no gross yeast. Love this.
-
I'm wearing this to bed tonight and wanted to look up notes and realized that I haven't reviewed it yet! This was goood when it was first released but now? Omg. So good! Everything has melded together beautifully and I need more... Perfumey strawberry milkshake. Om nom nom

Wet: Cinnamon heavy Gingerbread YUM Dry: cinnamon gingerbread MUSK not red musk but a truly musky musk lol. Fortunately its just a hint of musk but it still somehow overpowers tbe cinnamon and gingerbread that I loved in the beginning. I will definitely use my decant.
-
On me, this is a gorgeous snowy grapefruit. Yum. Doesn't last long but its beautiful while it does.

Mother Shub's Unmentionable Peppermint Creams
AmyO'Shields replied to pinkstardust420's topic in Yules
So...I love this. Starts with a super blast of peppermint zing up your sinuses and there's cream underneath. I'm sad because I got the decant specifically because my guy loves creamy mint and he says something about the cream part smells off...hmmm. I'm not smelling anything weird...I will have to wear it when he's not around, lol. -
Very nice! The Lab's brilliant snow scent with a touch of almond. I like this quite a bit.
-
White musk, amber, sandalwood, a touch of cedar and a hint of saffron. Man, this is creamy, musky, woody and very nice. I'm so excited to not smell honey...that was the only note of doom here and I don't smell it so yay! Lots of sandalwood...this must be the type I love...grounded. Nothing high pitch here. My only complaint is that I don't smell neroli or orange blossom at all and I was looking forward to them. Overall this is gorgeous and I may need a bottle.

Snow White '13 is indeed beautiful. This is the nicest version yet...sweet not too flowery almondish musky gorgeousness. I am a huge fan of Snow White though...

I'm not sure if I've already posted here but I feel similarly to rawgirl75 about '13 except I enjoy it for what it is...which doesn't smell like one of the Smut family...its not sweet at all and somewhat flat whereas the other years I've tried smell full, rich musky and have some sort of various fruity vibe. My favorite is '12...I think I detect cherry in with the gorgeous sweet musks but thankfully no booze to speak of. I hope '13 isn't the start of a new direction for Smut and that '14 will be more similar to '12. :-) I love teh Smut! ETA: I need to add: when I layer Smut of any year over any lotion I think will smell good with it, it smells really off. When I wear Smut on unlotioned skin it smells gorgeous...including '13. Note to self, no lotion with Smut! :-)

Silky, luxurious...yes. Now I get what all the Peacock Queen fans rave about. :-) Lush. True full red rose. I still prefer my Rose Red but not by much...lovely!

Hey hey, OctoberGwen...I had the same experience with this except I got some Patchouli at the very beginning...then the honey stomped all over it. Boo hiss. :-(

My experience is very similar to Leopard403... This is very nice and I'm really glad to have a bottle! There is more snow here than my nose remembers from the perfume. :-) and I don't get snowy from Snow White either. Love either way. :-)
-
Great googly moogly... This is perfect (if you like this type of perfection!) and I am so excited to have this! I put a tiny drop on my wrist and smooshed it in and I am so in love with this (and will layer it with Snake Oil and Snow White and many others)...it is so chewy and gooey and yummy-very true to its name. Chocolate, Espresso (just a touch of bitterness) and Gingerbread. LOVE. ETA This is already aging well. :-) I may need more bottles... ETA 2 This is aging so well! The gingerbread is more prominent now and it is smooooth!
