Numanoid

Spiced rum with cinnamon, apple butter, nutmeg, and thick vanilla cream. Had to get this one... apple is almost always a win note for me! In the bottle... smells of a pleasantly sweet apple and vanilla cream. It smells buttery, but not butter as in on popcorn or toast! On skin, oh this is so good!! It is a still, creamy vanilla apple! The rum comes out a bit... not getting any spice from this as of yet. As it dries, it stays close to my skin, but it keeps the vanilla/apple scent. Like a lightly baked apple that was dipped in heavy cream. This is very good!! If you are afraid of the cinnnamon and/or nutmeg, don't be. That are way in the background...this smells so good and I am hoping it will get better with age. If not, it is still a wonderful winner!! Edit to add: Been about 45 minutes and this is still going strong and yummy. The nutmeg comes out at last, but it is still a background player!

In the decant, yep... a blast of bubblegum. I actually never got a bubblegum scent from the Lab because it is a note that isn't my thing.. but I can't pass up anything with Snake Oil in it. It does sweeten up the S.O. as it dries, but it is quite... good. I'm surprised, since I am not a fan of girly, overly sweet scents, as bubblegum implies. It does go a bit plastic-y on me, but the S.O. keeps it from being icky! Don't think I need a bottle since I think this is one I wouldn't reach for.

Agree with Zzankoku...it has a smokiness to it, but has a light milk choco, marshmallow and graham cracker note all mixed together. it's really lovely... and yes, it is light on me. Not heavy or cloying, so if you are afraid of it being that way, it isn't! Edit to add mine is a decant.

Snake Oil in the Pumpkin Patch There's all manner of shenanigans in this year's pumpkin patch! Pumpkin'ized hybrids of GC BPAL scents abound! OOH fun to be first!! Wet in bottle: Mmm...there is that lovely hint of Snake Oil...and some buttery pumpkin! On Skin: First sniff, very snake oil, but then that lovely pumpkin is peeking out around the corner! This is EXACTLY what I was hoping this would smell like!! Drydown: This is AHHHmazing....anyone worried about it being a vegetable-y pumpkin, it is NOT! Very yummy....it is a great mix of Snake Oil and walking through a pumpkin patch. I detect a VERY faint hint of something "hay-like" but no worries for those of you who love SO and pumpkin!!! Get this....get it NOW!!! There is a wonderful sweetness to this as well....foody lovers will love this! Back up bottle worthy! ETA: Half an hour later.... I can't stop sniffing my wrist! Smells so good....great throw as well!!

“Save your slobbering,” said the old woman. “It doesn’t help you at all.” Caramel apples, cardamom cakes, hazelnut cream, and butterscotch. My review is sniffing this right out of the bottle straight from the mailbox. Will edit once I have it in my hair. I get the butterscotch right away before even unwrapping the bubble wrap! Sniffing in the bottle.... it is a big 'ol blast of caramel apples and butterscotch! Being a foody/candy lover, so far, this is great!! I get the feeling that if Sugar Slathered Candy Apple and Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple mingled, this would be the result. A definite relative of the two scents! It's rich and sweet and smells amazing!! Can't wait to try this in my hair tomorrow. Hoping it will have the same strength on as sniffing!! Love this! Editing to add... in my damp hair.... oh boy this is sooo good!! I get full on caramel apples and butterscotch. The cardamom and hazlenut are not very prominent. but I detect a hint. This has a medium throw to me. Get this if you are a foody lover!!!

A lively tune is being played nearby; it is syncopated, a disjointed song, but perky and upbeat. As you turn to the next stage, you see the broad back and shaggy hair of the next performer. He is seated on a stool in front of a battered upright piano. Wire pokes out from holes in the back of the decrepit beechwood, and broken pinblocks are scattered on the floor. A bowl of glistening viscera has been plopped on a small end table next to the pianist. You can see that the ivory keys of the piano are smeared with blood. He pounds and tinkles the keys merrily, and laughs to himself. The man turns to the audience, and his unkempt russet hair, feral yellow eyes, wild balbo, and chin curtain beard betray his lycanthropic nature. He smiles widely, innocently, and waves his red-stained, black-clawed paw in a genial welcome. He bellows cheerfully, “Hi there! Make yourself comfortable! Don’t you look absolutely necrolishious! HA! HAHA! I just made that word up!” He laughs again, turns, and resumes playing the piano. The rambling tune picks up pace, and he plays with a showman’s flourish. The song slows as he chats with the audience from over his shoulder. “You know, my ex-girlfriend was a real handful, but really… I’ve never known a woman that was as tender as she was. She was all gushy, and well… to be honest, she just fell to pieces for me. Eventually, things ran their course… three courses, really… and, as they say, nothing lasts forever. But I’ll always have a piece of her, here… close to my heart.” He chuckles, and pats the chest of his patchwork overcoat. In the distance, possibly from Meskhenet’s stage, you hear one of the phantom musicians give Wulric a gratuitous rim shot. Friendly, charming, and cuddly, but possessing one hell of a mean streak: cocoa absolute, French vanilla, birch tar, lavender, bourbon vetiver, wild musk, cardamom husk, clary sage, and cistus. I never smelled the original one, so here goes...this is a decant I got. In decant - Something a little sweet yet sharp. Guessing it is the vetiver.... it is a sharp note to me. On skin - Some note does make it a little "cuddly" But I think it is the darn vetiver that makes it too sharp for me. I am really not detecting much of the other notes. They are there....faintly. Dry down - I get a bit of the lavender out of this. This is in no way a foody blend, for those worried about the cocoa or vanilla notes. This does have a feral kind of scent to it, but lightly dusted with the lavender and sage. Has a medium throw on me, but I think this would be better on a guy!

That tin foil is impossible to get off. Ok... here I go! In the bottle : Sniffing, I get chocolate... but something else lurking. Having a hard time figuring out what it is, maybe whatever note makes the "foil wrap" part? On skin: Odd... I an getting that odd other note with the chocolate. Almost foil-like, but not quite. My mind wants to say "green" but that isn't it either. Something a bit sharp, but not overtaking the chocolate note. Drydown: Light throw this one has...just stays the same chocolate/foil-ish note. It is nice.... simple, really. We will see how this one goes, but a good one for foody lovers that might not want something that is in-your-face.

Whoa! NO one has reviewed this??? This is awesome in a bottle!! Ok, here I go!! In the bottle: First sniff... yummy, creamy, sugary key lime!! To die for! In damp hair: Ok... I so don't know HOW they do it, but as soon as I put it in, I get the perfect key lime pie. The lime is so creamy, but still has that lime zing. I get the crust and all as well. If you are like me and fruit notes just don't seem to work, like lime..... I don't do them well because it can be too fizzy and/or it fades FAST on me, but THIS.... is heaven in a bottle. I think it is perfect scent for any season as well. Fresh enough for warm weather and that creamy note for cooler weather. I wish these pies were permanent... they have all been winners!!

"Everything okay here?" said a cop inside. Shadow's first, automatic instinct was to say Yup, everything's just fine and jimdandy thank you officer. But it was too late for that, and he started to say, "I think I'm freezing. I was walking into Lakeside to buy food and clothes, but I underestimated the length of the walk"-he was that far through the sentence in his head, when he realized that all that had came out was "F-f-freezing," and a chattering noise, and he said, "So s-sorry. Cold. Sorry." The cop pulled open the back door of the car and said, "You get in there this moment and warm yourself up, okay?" Shadow climbed in gratefully, and he sat in the back and rubbed his hands together, trying not to worry about frostbitten toes. The cop got back in the driver's seat. Shadow stared at him through the metal grille. Shadow tried not to think about the last time he'd been in the back of a police car, or to notice that there were no door handles in the back, and to concentrate instead on rubbing life back into his hands. His face hurt and his red fingers hurt, and now, in the warmth, his toes were starting to hurt once more. That was, Shadow figured, a good sign. The cop put the car in drive and moved off. "You know, that was," he said, not turning to look at Shadow, just talking a little louder, "if you'll pardon me saying so, a real stupid thing to do. You didn't hear any of the weather advisories? It's minus thirty out there. God alone knows what the windchill is, minus sixty, minus seventy, although I figure when you're down at minus thirty, windchill's the least of your worries." "Thanks," said Shadow. "Thanks for stopping. Very, very grateful." "Woman in Rhinelander went out this morning to fill her bird feeder in her robe and carpet slippers and she froze, literally froze, to the sidewalk. She's in intensive care now. It was on the TV this morning. You're new in town." It was almost a question, but the man knew the answer already. "I came in on the Greyhound last night. Figured today I'd buy myself some warm clothes, food, and a car. Wasn't expecting this cold." "Yeah," said the cop. "It took me by surprise as well. I was too busy worrying about global warming. I'm Chad Mulligan. I'm the chief of police here in Lakeside." The scent of a steaming mug of hot chocolate. I'm first?? Ok then! In decant, pure milk chocolate....simple as that! On skin, very similar to The Other Hot Chocolate to me.....but, if memory serves, TOHC didn't last long on me and it had a low throw. So far, this one is a bit stronger and who doesn't love that? Dry down, this is nice because some cocoa scents can get that dry cocoa aspect to it, but this stays pretty true to a melty chocolate on me. There is a hint of dryness, but not like other's I have tried. Medium throw on me. If you are a cocoa lover but not too happy about the dusty cocoa scent, you might like this one! Bottle worthy! Ok...editing to add something. So, my son LOVES those Kinder chocolate bars. I was wearing this, he walked by me and said, "Do you have a Kinder?" I said, "No." He said, "Well, I need one now!" Guess that tells you how wonderfully chocolate this scent it!

A complex single note accord that melds pure bourbon vanilla with the scent of fermented molasses. The scent is dark, thick, sweet, heavy and rich, with a slight spicy smokiness. Wet in bottle: Very yummy rich vanilla...can smell the booze, but it isn't overpowering and very nice! On Skin: Stays the same....but the booze note comes out to play causing the vanilla to hide a bit...still ok!! Few minutes later: Sadly, the booze note (which I was worried about) has gone a bit plastic-y on me. I was holding out hope for this one. Might have to swap/sell away.

Espresso, pumpkin syrup, smoky vanilla bean, milk, raw sugar, and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. I always have to try anything the Post (or Lab) puts out that has coffee in it. Again, my sniffer is working at about 96%, so I will do my best. Sniffing, oh yum...I get the espresso and pumpkin first! Very rich and so good. Sprayed in my damp hair, I get all the notes right away! After a few minutes, I get the milky and smoky vanilla. The espresso and pumpkin take a back seat, but this is still so very good. If you loved this in perfume form, then get this. It is also surprisingly not heavy... present, but it stays close to me and has a low to medium throw. Again though, my nose isn't all there. But I think this is a wonderful winner!

2018 Version SO... I LOVE Snake Skin. I have the 2017 version which is amazing!! This one, to me, is basically the same, but..wearing it, it is not as strong and not as much throw as the 2017 version. If the 2017 version was too much for you, you might like this one better...at least for now. I let mine sit for a while before testing it and it might get stronger over time, due to the aging process, but this is definitely not as potent. It is still that leather scent mixed with the Snake Oil, but seems paler in comparison...still wonderful.

Bundled in blankets by a roaring fire. No reviews yet?? Ok...here goes... So, for me, leather notes can be either full on amazing or absolutely NO for me. I ADORE Snake Skin and Western Diamondback. I tried to like Whip, and Riding Crop, was too strong. So, with that being said, I thought I would try this... thinking the nut note might be an interesting co-star to the leather. (nut notes are the same for me as leather notes). In the decant, sniffing....I get a little whiff of the leather... the chestnut is also present, but neither are overwhelming. In my damp hair, it changes.... it really smells like there is a smokiness to this... a bonfire smoke added. The leather and the chestnut are not front and center, but they are there... so that with the smokiness, is actually quite lovely. It has a good throw for me, so this is one that would be perfect for an outside campfire, but not sure it would be welcome in any work-place setting if you have to be in close proximity to someone. As it dries a bit, it is a leather, (not suede) that was hung near a fire...the leather is surprisingly not over-cloying, but still can smell it around my head!! if you are a leather fan and love the bonfire smoke smell, this is for you!

Sugared white mint, eucalyptus, lemon peel, orange blossom, and iced white honeycomb. Ok... I will do my best here. I might not have considered this if I had known the notes beforehand, but so glad I got this!! In bottle: sniffing, it is like a light, minty, forest.....not strong, but there. Some "forest" notes can be too much for my nose, but this is actually very pleasant. In damp hair: Wow...this changes back and forth to me. At first, I get this soft, minty Christmas forest, and then after a second or two, the lemon/orange part of it comes out, and I think, oooh, beautiful spring time.... then I go back to, no.....forest in winter... then, no... back to spring! This is amazing!! It is hard to pick but I guess I would have to say this is like a wintery forest on the verge of turning into spring time. This is a beautiful blend!! Get this while you can, Forgot to add, this has a light throw on me.... I pictured Sleet as, well, being cold, wet, damp, but this to me is nothing like that!

And an extra dash of cinnamon! Got this for Christmas! In the bottle, very light milk chocolate. I don't smell any cinnamon, so a dash must be correct! In my damp hair, at first, it reminds me of El Dia Los Reyes, but then it quickly just fades... got milk chocolate at first, and then, after like 30 seconds, I don't smell anything. Even pushing my hair in my face. Oh well.... that's the way it goes.

So, I love peppermint... in any form. Candy, perfume, candles, you name it. However, for some reason, the peppermint notes in the oils tend to disappear in a flash on my skin. SO, seeing this HG, I thought, well, maybe this will be different, and IT IS!! Sniffing in the bottle, I get just chocolate... no peppermint at all. Uh oh! BUT applying it to my damp hair, I still got just a light milk chocolate scent... I was getting worried, but then, after a couple seconds, BOOM!! The peppermint emerges! It is so good...and it seems to be staying around!! It does have a low throw to me, but it is at least there!! Very light peppermint cocoa!! I love it. Try this if you are like me....this is very much ok to wear without worrying about it being cloying. Light, peppermint-y with that touch of hot cocoa!! YUM!

Had to try this one... Tried the others, but the Strawberry one, like usual, went a bit plastic-y....the Raspberry, YUM, so I figured this one might be good. As I honestly don't know the scent difference between blackcurrant and blackberry, I usually do well with "purple" fruits. In the bottle...I smell the purple fruity jam and dough!! So far so good! On skin, the fruit comes out in a big way... jammy and sugary and doughy! Love it! I understand all the love it's getting above...this is so gourmand and foody! Want to eat one now, dammit! As it dries, it stays the same... has a good throw for me. If the other Sufganyiots worked for you, give this one a whirl!!

This smells so good! In the bottle, I get rich egg nog and the gingersnap right behind it... a very yummy mixture. In my hair, I get a nice balanced blend of both the egg nog and gingersnap. I agree with above, it is cozy and just sweet enough to not make your teeth ache! it is surprisingly light on me, but present... I can smell it without having to shove my hair in my nose. This is a perfect scent to wear to work or Christmas party and you won't offend anyone nearby!! Gourmand and foody without being overly so.

Very welcome.... reading the couple reviews on it, seems it isn't a big hit, so it might be easy to find and cheaper!

Hmm.... Well.....since vinyl is kind of a plastic smell, sort of, there is a Weenie scent (still available, but probably not for long) called Unsettling Clear Plastic Mask... maybe that one? It isn't a GC scent though.

Fermented apple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, lemon zest, butterscotch liquor, and orange slices. Oh this is good....and I am going on a nose that isn't working 100% (thanks to a cold! ) Sniffing in the bottle, it is surprisingly....light. I sniff the butterscotch....apples... orange... lemon. It is a crisp cider to my nose. In my hair. it stays the same...it has a medium scent, not too heavy as I thought it might be with the sugar, clove, allspice and nutmeg notes, but this really is....sweet, not cloying, and a tad refreshing. You can totally wear this if you work in close range with people. After a few, the apples and butterscotch are prominent. But so not cloying. I will edit/add to this as my hair dries more and my nose is a bit better. But if you are worried this would be too heavy and spicy, it so isn't!! This, to me, is a year round wearable scent.

Got a decant of this from the lovely Carrie above.... I love most Snake Oil blends, and this one intrigued me. Wasn't sure about the terebinth and Krampus...and I honestly don't know what pomelo is, but Snake Oil and some dark fruits.... sure, why not! Sniffing, I get the Snake Oil.... and a mixture of the other scents... pine... fruit...so far, not too shabby. On...oh my... I really like this! I get Snake Oil and both the black currant and pomegranate!! Terebinth (that is a kind of pine, right?) is very much in the background for me! I mostly just get the fruit and SO and I love it!! Has great throw for me!! Need to have more than a decant!!!

Pumpkin floss with threads of dark chocolate! Just got this today... also, forgive me, I am trying to get over a cold, so I might need to edit this later! But just can't wait to dive into it! In the bottle, there is a light chocolate to me, and something spicy... mildly spicy... smells a bit cinnamon-y. On skin, if you have smelled/tested Pumpkin V 2009, it reminds me of that, but more of the cinnamon coming out. It isn't overpowering, but my nose might be lying to me now. Dry down, I get more of the chocolate emerging, but it isn't crazy heavy.... it is light and the spice backs off, but still there. I don't get pumpkin from this. Doesn't last long on me...even as I am writing this, it is fading already. BUT again...might be my stuffy nose not wanting to cooperate. It is yummy and not too foody or pumpkiny.

[No additional description given.] Ok, so usually I totally stay away from anything that has patchouli in it... BUT I have learned that there are times when the Lab/Post has a way of blending it that makes it less hippie-ish, which is what I never liked about patch. SO I thought I would try this! I haven't sprayed in my hair, so this is just sniffing in the bottle... I might edit this once I do a proper hair test. Sniffing in the bottle I do get chocolate... and something pale and sweet. That might be the tea note, but it doesn't seem like the usual tea scent I have smelled in other blends. Also, it might be how the patch is blended with the tea and chocolate, but it almost seems like it is a little bit of a licorice smell there. My nose isn't at 100% right now because of allergies, but this seems like it will be a nice light blend despite it being patch and dk chocolate in there. Update: Got this in my hair....sadly, this isn't for me. The chocolate note is nice, but the tea and patch notes together goes odd. Still get that licorice vibe and I am not a licorice fan. Oh well.... that's how it goes!

For spiking that latte. (We won’t tell.) I'm the first?? Ok then!! Here we go! Got a decant of this.... sniffing, lots of pumpkin spice... and, not getting much rum. Maybe a couple drops of it. In damp hair, this is really nice! It is very pumpkin spice...still not detecting much rum there, but that is ok. I am a nut for anything pumpkin scented. This has a medium throw on me and doesn't change much. It isn't a bakery pumpkin spice either... it has an edge to it, but at the same time sticks close. Now, I had tried the Pumpkin Spice Everything HG and that one was a bit too much for me, so if that is you, then try this because it is like that but on a much mellower scale.
