Schmoozy

Apple & spicy carnation mingle with vanilla cream and sweet pea. I can barely detect the passionfruit or guava whcih saddens me. Agape is creamy, full of vanilla, spicy from the carnation and just a teensy bit tart.

Unfortunately it has no staying power on my skin, which is too bad, because that is what has me skipping over the scent more often than I care to admit.

 

Creamy, warmed milk sweetened with honey. It is soft, gentle and the reference to Burts Bees "Baby" line is bang on. It is an innocent, non-assuming scent, and I love it.

To me TKO v3 is still the same strong herbal lavender, but the vanilla sweetness is more prominent to my nose than the orginal. It dries down to a creamy, sweetened lavender, which is just fine with me.

Wow. Dorian v2, is definitely the feminine Dorian of the two. Sugared lemon tea with a punch of coconut. This is so pretty. After initial application it is very strong, but quickly dries to a soft, wispy, creamy, barely there - coconut tea.

 

eta: I don't smell lavender, but I can totally see the reference to Lilith Victoria.

Tart blackberries and pastry. At first it is strong and nommy, but as it dries down it fades to the lightest whisper of blackberries. This is spectacular.

 

Wispy, ethereal & absolutely gorgeous. Amber, birch and pale musks. I can not detect any star jasmine, but if it's there it is incrediably well blended. The girl seems to have a certain coolness to her, but yet she lasts forever. This is definitely bottle worthy.

 

 

Oh wow. Beth just keeps pulling the scent punches. Liz is stunning. Soft, wispy florals, mingles with touches of vanilla and then Liz toughens up with some leather and smoke. It doesn't get any better than this.

 

Spicy orange blossom, coconut & cypress. I adore orange blossom, ever since Khrysee. Mlle. Lilith definitely reminds me of Khrysee. I can really detect the pink musk after several minutes, and together with pomenganate, honey mrytle and incense this blend is gorgeous.

 

 

Creamy tangerine, soft woodsy sandalwood and tonka. This is so amazing. I love how the sandalwood and tangerine blend together and then tonka and pear appear and it is just soft citrus with smudges of vanilla and my all time favorite sandalwood.

 

Lemony cream cheese frosting with undertones of Snake Oil, Doc, and Dorian. It isso good. I am thrilled it isn't very foody. Just soft wafts of vanilla, lemon, cream cheese, woods and incense. This is going to age fabulously.

 

Good god, this years patch is a total winner on me. I love pumpkin and this blend is no exception. Smooth, creamy buttery pumpkin that gives way to rose and sandalwood. It's woodsy and sweet.

 

 

Resin-y pumpkin with clove (makes it more sharp) and alongside tobacco and black musk make this appear to be a dark pumpkin blend, but in reality it is sweet. Very deceiving, but I totally adore it.

 

 

Buttery, spicy pumpkin and almonds. I can detect honey and touch of brown musk, but the spices of pumpkin and the nuttiness of almonds are in the forefront. It is delicious. This ultimately reminds me of pumpkin pie drizzled with honey.

 

This is probably one of the best pumpkin blends (with the exception of Pumpkin Queen) that I have tried in a long, long, time.

Pumpkin III is earthy, green, crisp and unbelievably herbal. The rosemary, the fir needle & the tomatoe blend so well together with pumpkin. This is a gardeners dream. I can almost feel the fuzzy tomatoe leaves, and that scent when you touch them.

I am definitely going to have to pick up a bottle of this, it is that good.

Strong black coffee with a healthy dose of pumpkin & hazelnut. Chocolate and vanilla bean sweeten the coffee ever so slightly, but I am thrileld that this is predominantly coffee and pumpkin.

 

Yup there's some red musk inside. But with a bunch of powerhouse notes in it, it sure doesn't amount to much on my skin. I can barely detect balsam, clove and even pacthouli for that matter. It does have an earthy vibe, but seriously it's like my skin ate this the moment it was applied. Hmmm, I am going to have to try this again some other time.

 

 

Wow. Such a soft wispy scent. This is sweet, earthy and herbal all at the same time. The spice from carnation, the sweetness of vanilla bean, the herbal lavender all combine beautifully with blue and white musks. I love how I can barely detect the summer roses. I mean I like rose, but I think if they were dominant in this blend it might overpower all of the other good things. This is so pretty.

 

 

My god I love orris root. There is something so familar and warming about sandalwood and orris root together. The Last Rose of Summer is woodsy, dry and very resiny. The neroli gives it a brightness and to be honest the patchouli and rose are just an afterthought here. However the two add a sweetness and darkness at the same time. It's almost like they cancel each other out. This is beautiful. Kinda reminds me of Millers Daughter and The Little Sparrow.

For some reason this reminds me of Labores Solis. It must be the amber and myrhh. This is a tart, bright scent. It definitely has citrus and combined with amber and myrhh makes for a really warm, sun kissed scent. It is perfect for this time of the year, when the cold is slowly creeping in, and you want to capture the last few rays of sunshine and hold on to the memories of summer.

 

 

I can't begin to express how beautiful and haunting this scent is for me. It is all sandalwood & cypress with touches of moss thrown in. There is the presence of dryness in the blend and then the barest hint of rose appears. This is soft, woodsy, and really, really good.

 

 

Nuts, apples & apple blossom. This is stunning. I love the way the nuts and apples combine together. It's not sweet, but rather tart and fresh and really crisp. The apple blossom does fade with time and somehow the blackberry, mulberry and apple just meld together with the nuts. Throw in some greenery and this is perfect for the fall. Not tooth achingly sweet, but a scent that will cling to a sweater and everytime you wear it, you get whiffs of this amazing fall scent.

 

 

The perfect apple cider. It is slightly sweet, but more importantly spicy. You can really smell the ginger and clove over the nutmeg, which for me is perfect. As it dries downs and settles into my skin, hints of warm milk pop up every now and then and gives Lambs-Wool a creamy edge.

 

 

Hmmm. As this lasted all of 10 seconds on my skin, I was able to deduce that this pretty much black cherry brandy.

 

Rose and almond cherries *shudders* Do. Not. Want.

 

Candy, corn and spice. Whatever spice is inside seems to caramelize the candy and all I get is burnt sugar notes ala Sugar Skull, Butter Rum Cookie, Sticky Pillowcase and Lawn Gnome. Now I'am kinda pissed that I ordered a bottle blindly.
