A bath fit for a down-to-earth monarch: sweet aged patchouli, golden amber, cacao, winter honey, precious oudh, and ylang ylang.
This is like someone took full bottles of Smut and Third Charm (and they better have not been mine) and put them in this wonderful lil bottle of bath oil. Wow.

This is gorgeous, glorious, so perfect love it love it love it.
It's warm and pretty, creamy even, dries down to a nice rich powdery thing. Fantastic.
The rewards of being nice...

omg what is this!!!!!!!!!????????
Sweet lovely almost flowery
I really want this one, going to try to squeeze in another pre Xmas order just for it. Still smells like flowers to me
-
Sadly for me, Tricksy is boy juice. Going to give it to Mommy's Little Angel (don't worry he's 22) for Xmas.
Howitzer, Und Wir Dachten der Totem is so very patchouli awesome. Not the dirty variety, or the old timey, more reddish to me.

This is gooey resin and delicious. Five out of five resin stars for me.
-
This is delicious and smokey, strangely I smell something sharp and fruity? Am I broken?
I think this one will surely sate my frankincense love this season
-
gah this is so good, almost milky, spices are very low key, thankfully I do not smell like a Starbucks...
-
This is really beautiful wet and dry, surely a bottle purchase.
-
Whoa. So pretty and so change-y! Powder and myrrh, then pine and flowery so good!
-
Cookies!!!!! Salty spicey cookies!!!!!! Damn you Black Pheonix, pumpkin is now off the Bad List. This is my Pumpkin patch light, the one for sleeping.
These Pumpkin Patches are such delicious cookies...they are nose crack...
-
this is awesome stuff so glad I got it!.
I have been twice to the Phillipines, a beautiful lush place, that this scent does bring to mind.
It's very heady, lush and white.

PLINY’S PHOENIX
The phoenix, of which there is only one in the world, is the size of an eagle. It is gold around the neck, its body is purple, and its tail is blue with some rose-colored feathers. It has a feathered crest on its head. No one has ever seen the Phoenix feeding. In Arabia it is sacred to the sun god. It lives 540 years; when it is old it builds a nest from wild cinnamon and frankincense, fills the nest with scents, and lies down on it until it dies. From the bones and marrow of the dead phoenix there grows a sort of maggot, which grows into a bird the size of a chicken. This bird performs funeral rites for its predecessor, then carries the whole nest to the City of the Sun near Panchaia and places it on an altar there.

Wild cinnamon and frankincense.
Well, you had me at Wild Cinnamon, but all I can smell right now is the frankincense, which is just fine by me.
After snoofing my other Pheonix decants, I know why this was the first must have bottle, this is the clear winner to me. The frankincense is so deep, sometimes I just suck frankincense right up and it's so sad (Midnight Mass, I'm looking at you) but this must be some other super powered one...trying to fight the urge to hoard... -
This smells just like the oil that I adore, and it's one of the best sprays I've used, it's so long lasting! I love this.
-
I'm surprise I never reviewed this, one of my favorite "foodies" of the Yules, it's sort of high pitched and grainy, but definitely in the warm spicey family. I don't smell the cherry at all, sadly
-
Ditto on Gelt ... I thought for some reason it had been every other year since its initial release but it seems to have been each of the last two years so I have my fingers crossed for a Gelt 2013 after finally trying an imp of it in a swap! Delicious!!!
Gelt, Gelt, Gelt, must have more Gelt

Amazing dark sticky incense. Very much like Black Taffeta. Will need a back up, as I spilled half the bottle on my bathroom floor last night
Very excellent, despite the bottle being clearly possessed.
-
I think this one is very "boy" to me, like Samhain I smell a lot of the tobacco.
-
darn it. This is so super fantastic, love it. The Small Girl says it smells like grapes.
-
Minty minty summer juice.
-
I like this. I have no idea what it smells like, mostly like fresh air to me.
-
This one is growing on me. It smells like snake oil with spice cookies. I also smell mushrooms. I am really losing it...
This has aged into OMG Gorgeous. The oil is very dark and thick, and the scent is heady. I wear it out at night, it's kind of perfect. I hope this comes back some day.
-
I kind of really love this one, it's warm and very rich, sort of reminiscent of A Wonderful Light
-
Love this one, green and flowery.

I love this, it is really simple and good, and thankfully not like Tricksy at all to me.
