Open daily. Lessons in cunning, derision, and scorn: vetiver smoke and acerbic incense. WOW. I am terrible at reviewing, but this scent needed some props. I was frimped a sample with a swap, and instantly ordered a bottle. Normally I can get by on a decant, but no. This baby needed to be big bottle and nooobody is touching it... This smells *exactly* like fresh burning nag champa incense, with smoldering smoke..Which some may say "Hey, I can just burn incense", but for those of us with asshole cats, or little kids who like to play with things they shouldn't be (DEVIN MOMMY IS TALKING TO YOU) it is amazinnnnng to have it in spray form. I have been spraying this non-stop and the hubs even adores it. 10 out of 10 and all that jazz.

I can't add much more, and completely agree with Poenari. This NEEDS to come back, tons of people contacted me for decants. I am such a fool for swapping off so much of this. I layer it with my perfume, and a dragons blood candle/lotion thingy. I am teh dragon. Decent longevity and great power. Will definitely get another bottle if it ever comes back, (along with some more Tombstone HG).

I ordered a decant on a whim. Cacao and I are friends, vry vry good friends But I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is. For me, in the bottle it is cacao dominate with some Sugar Skull vibes goin on underneath. Best part is? IT STAYS THE SAME BUT GETS STRONGER. This revived some love for my bath oils (they had been taking a back seat to some new lotions and such). On my skin, it is a bit foodie with no powdery dry down. Love.

Mmm, this is delicioussss. I also, get no candy cane in here. Instead, a beautiful white chocolate mingled with berry. It is so nice to know that not all berries go rancid on me. I was expecting it to be a little tart with cranberry but only just so. I smell like cookies, and that's exactly what I wanna smell like.

=/ Guise. I have noticed my nose goes against what most people say. It was terribly overpowering and I kept smelling something sharp mixed with honey. I have to agree with Balame.

Blasphemy. Many of you may say this after I write this post. My first bpal love was Sugar Plum Fairy...As time went on and skin chemistry changed (and of course, my nose) I found myself a little nauseated by the smell. But I pushed through, saying I loved it once maybe I just needed a refresher. This is in the same vein, but for me it was powdery plum and vanilla. I love plum, I love vanilla. I fucking HATE powder. I ended up having to wash our sheets. I just couldn't get past that powdery plum vibe. I let it sit for about 2 hours when enough was enough.

I do agree with the above poster, say this smells like Christmas/Yule. Beautiful pine, with snow dollops on the branches not quite weighing them down. Some surprising strong flowers that manage to bloom, just wonderful. Really need to order a bottle. Feel like I'm in WoW or Skyrim.

I love Boo!. No really, I LOVE BOO. First time around I got this and it turned so rancid on my skin. I was devastated.. Found some more later down the line, after my skin chemistry decided to stop being such a dick. and OMG. It is such a beautiful sweet simple scent. If you like vanilla, you need some Boo in your life. Great staying power with this.

I am the pumpkin pie. *fin* Pumpkin pie with marshymallows ontop. Great staying power!

This..reminds me of Sunday morning and being (forcibly) dragged to church in winter. The wood reminds me of the pews, there is some cologne aspect to this which I always picture my father (perhaps the moss? he's an avid outdoors man and smells of the woods), the resin-y incense burning in front and even a slight slush smell that everybody dragged in on their shoes. I make it sound not so great, but I assure you it is perfect. Enjoying it for my festive yule tide feelings lately. Average staying power.

Would love to see this come back in some form. I have been spraying what little I have all over my clothes. Dark forest, with little itty bitty flowers blooming, vines twirling and curling up trees, and rays of golden sunshine forcing their way into said forest. Average lasting power.

Surprise hit for me.. and okay I am going to sound crazy but this morning I woke up and was like "wtf? I didn't wear the girl or black opal.." Yes, this starts off with cinnamon/ cassia with a hint of muskiness. But (hours) after drydown, I detect the sweet creamy vanilla that I smell in the above mentioned perfumes. Faint, but she's there. Getting as much of this one as possible <3 Great staying power.

No idea of what Kyphi smells like, so keep that in mind. I do get hints of the leaves, but more of a incensey smoke sweetness. Average staying power, and appropriate for all seasons as opposed to just fall.

This is so expensive smelling and unlike anything I have ever had. The slightly woody mahogany is present, non-foody vanilla and a swirl of cigar smoke. Honestly I think everyone should try this, it's just that good. Decent longevity (about 3 hours)

Cinnamon, gooey sugar deep fried goodness, with a hint of butter. Average staying power, and absolutely no wood for me.

^ I am one of those people. It smells like expensive (golden) baby powder. No go for me.

Snow white..I didn't think I would ever adore you as much as I do. Thankfully I saw this atmo listed on etsy, and I am an atmo whure so I grabbed. This has a strong green stemmy note, with a vanillic tinge. And it lasts for DAYS. I sprayed my sons pillow once and had it last a week. Yes, a frickin week. And I was all too happy about that.

Dead ringer for fall! This has jumped up on my list of loves and it's no surprise. A little woodsy bite, with scattered dead leaves(with dew) on the ground. Hubs even smelled the sheets that night and was like "damn this feels like Wisconsin" Fantastic staying power, will hoard my decant and look for a bottle.

Scent memories, a'hoy! This smells just like my grandmother. I can picture sitting in the bathroom with her as she powdered herself and put on lipstick, and spritzed a perfume SO closely related to this. I hate amber in perfume form but now I am thinking I should get more atmos with it. Slightly powdered, vanilla glazed orchids. Genuinely made me cry. 10/10 GREAT staying power.

Love! I bought this last year and have sprayed a copious amount since then. It has now settled to heavy on the graham crackers, chocolate-smokiness. Toasted marshmallow is just perfect, and the pumpkin has taken a back seat. Average staying power.

Gorgeous green scent, with the beeswax having a honey-esque feel once settled. One of my few post items I refuse to share. Feels like being in some dark magical woods. Great staying power!

Echoing the rest, banana bread, the very best banana bread to be exact, with delicious lil nuts baked in. I didn't have a ton of uses for it sadly. Average staying power.

I didn't care for this much..I have never been a fan of the perfume either but just thought it was due to skin chemistry and now my tastes have changed..but nope still don't like it. Very dry white cake, and tart currant. Average staying power.

Mmm this is an amazing peachy incense mix. Will get lots of use come warmer months. I spritzed this on my shirt when I first got it. GLORIOUS for that late summer/ early fall transition.

Someone mentioned earlier that this is Sugared Peach Bath Oil light, and they are dead on! Ripe, juicy peaches with sugary-ness. Not so much "candyfloss" to my nose, but delicious none the less. Doesn't last terribly long.
