super pretty and light, very work friendly.

I am not surprised this one sold out so fast, it is really amazing.

Strangely, I get at the top a strong dirty note that I suppose is the moss, but then a powdery thing right under it.

and then the roses.

It has oomph, and power, so pretty and good, but I can see a man wearing it too.

LOVE. this. one.

I am a huge Midnight Mass fan, but this trumps even that. I will buy basically anything that has frankincense in it, but this one is the King of Frankincense. It is so rich, so heady...love this one.

gah. reviews. so happy they are back...

I bought all my OLLA unsniffed and LOVED all of them, but this one is probably the favorite so far.

Patchouli lovers need to buy this stat. It does however have a sweetness for me almost like Black Taffetta. Love this one. six out of five stars

thankfully I do not smell any leather, dodged that bullet, if it's in here it's so well blended as to not make me smell like fine furniture or a nice fall jacket.

It's so hard to figure out what someone else is going to resonate with. My own GC favorites are Night Raven, and either Miss Forcible.

that said, as you like roses, you might want to explore the Dawn series, they are wonderful complex rosey blends.

I love this, with the leaves up front, and then the resins, it's beautiful.

This is delicious. I can smell both the fruit and the flowers, it has amazing sharpness and depth. I love this one, it says "spring" to me, will surely be going in my next order.

This one is awesome. Gingerbread Snake was really good, Gingerbread Satyr was great for the ten seconds it stuck around before completely disappearing, but this one is fabulous. Really grounded and good. Gingerbread. With other good stuff. Does not smell very boy to me at all.

The aquatic thing that many of the MU blends have, it's here, but with a lovely incense under it. This is surely a Big Bottle, as my Halloween at MU is truly loved

Why did I not just order a bottle of this with my first order? oh yeah I was afraid of the coffee, but I can't smell any coffee, just gorgeous chocolate. Beautiful, very much like the chocolate in Gelt, which I am missing sorely this year.

This is wonderful, can't believe this has been off my radar until now! Peachy goodness. Wow.

La lugubre gondola. It's almost a solid.

Ahhhhhhh love this one...

This has the same whatever as Wretched Rose Window, which is a scent that I had actually been longing for and found in WRW. And, it does remind me of the ancient times in Beth's description, as back then I loved to wear perfumes that smelled "classic" and "older elegant lady" to me, and this fits the bill.

It's soft and fizzy, love love love this...

Well this goes into the What To Wear When it's Hot and Horrible Out pile, perfect summer wear. I love all of the snowballs, this is no exception. and it's hello purple.

My bottle of Onduris, much beloved, is almost gone, so I was glad to get this one to replace it. Indeed it is similar enough to supplant it, but it's not a mirror replacement. Still, snow, pine, it's all good.

This is like a florist's shop, as ReallyZeb said, but to me not overwhelming. It is strong though, which is good for me. Heady cut flowers, as if you can smell the stems. I do get the snow note as well. This one is fresh and nice, I can see this being good for work, it's clean. I was thinking it was going to be sort of like Winter Heavens which I love, but it's less green, more flowers and snow.

thanks for all the help guys, my list is growing and growing! How to cull I don't know! :eek:

There is no culling...clearly...

51, green, lovely, perfumey in the best way

Delicious, I smell like an evil cookie. I love that Mother Shub, everything she bakes is good for me.

Yes. Just yes.

Buttery, red fruity, delicious cookie is delicious. Not getting too much mint though

I would say any of the Dawns, as long as you like rose. All of them are gorgeous. Dawn Mourning Victory smells like the inside of a florist's.

Marie, a violet scent, or The Raven which is violet/vanilla. Grief which has hyacinth, lovely and not common.

I think this is my favorite 13 to date. It is sweet rather than resiny, and has a note that my nose is reading as high sweet and red, oh pomegranite, duh...

I do smell my true love, cinnamon, and other things. But did I mention cinnamon? Seriously though, this is like the companion of the Damsel oil, very nice.

I love all of the Snows. I wear them in the summer, when I want to feel cool and wintery, and in fall and winter when it snows, just for synchronicity.

I LOVE Blue Snowballs from last year, Dust of Snow from 2011? Cloth of Gold, but my favorite of all time, the sadly DCed Cloister Graveyard in the Snow.

sigh. I thought I would love this one so much, but it has a very heavy note of Blergh that smells sort of like the residue left in a marijuana pipe, not that I would know what that smelled like. It's the same Blergh as in Expressive Head, but EH has Fabulous that overcomes the Blergh, sadly this is too heavy on the Blergh. I will gift it to my son, he may or may not be familiar with that Blergh smell, I believe he likes it better than me.
