    The Small Brown Cat

    Cardamom infused bourbon vanilla and cedarwood! It's AMAZING!!! This is better on me than Bast. I see a bottle in my future.

    Rubber Chicken

    I smell like Banana runts...all day, every day. No citrus, just sugary banana. So glad I sold this bottle.

    The Buffalo Man

    This scent is gorgeous. Lush warm brown musk, with a touch of something resinous with a hint of smoke. I LOVE IT. It's amazing!

    Shadow

    This is what I wanted Coin trick to smell like..and I like coin trick. Shadow smells of gorgeous amber, grey oude with the barest hint of metal. Coin metal. I love it. So glad I have a full bottle coming...

    The Buffalo Man

    This by far is my favorite of the AG scents. Sweet woodsmoke, laudunum, and something else. It's just gorgeous from wet to drydown. Must order a bottle soon.

    Coin Trick

    Fancy upscale perfume. Hints of gold, silver, metal. It's definitely more masculine, but once it dries it smells like a coin trick of sorts. I like it.

    Pumpkin Hard Candy

    I couldn't find a thread for this so here goes. This smells like orange candy that is artificially flavored with pumpkin. And I amp the pumpkin to high heaven. So not a fan of this. This needs to be re-homed stat. AND...I just found out I spilled half of the dang imp in the bag it was in.

    Lab Rat

    This smells like one of my perfume boxes. Musky, light florals, aquatics with a pretty light vanilla. I LOVE IT!

    Joy Buzzer

    FIZZ! The champagne note in this gives this metal buzzer its joy! It smells like a joy buzzer in my mind!

    Catch Me, Dad

    Sun-warmed dirt and wildflowers, a whiff of the lavender Lilith loves to use in her hair, and the green leaves of summer just turning to autumn's russet and brown. Wet: Fresh Lavender and green leaves. Fresh green leaves that you would find a child rolling in a pile. Dry: Lavender and green leaves. It's uncanny how realistic this is. Puddin and Beth: thank you for sharing your memories of Lilith with us through scent. This is beautiful.

    Absinthe and Lace

    Inspired by Edgar Degas' L'Absinthe, and created in the vein of the Dark Delicacies / Black Phoenix lace-themed collaborations. A scent of dissipation and ennui: green cognac and icy absinthe, louched, spilling onto lace that is drooping with neglect and darkened by tobacco smoke. I can't believe I am the first to review this! I will do my best: Wet: Fresh tobacco, absinthe, sugar, and something dark. Drydown: Strong, stomach turning Absinthe. This smells like the real 100% proof Absinthe on my skin. (having had the opportunity to try and drink it..but I couldn't get past the smell) Complete drydown: Absinthe, sugar, and tobacco. This is definitely true to form. Again, it's rare that a perfume evokes an image for me but this surely does: From the Dracula movie with Winona Rider and Gary Oldham when Dracula tells the story of the fairy in the absinthe. This scent evokes that image: dark, sweet, foreboding and mysterious. Beth has out done herself with this scent yet again.

    Snake Skin

    Snake skin=Snake Oil and Western Diamondback had sex and created a gorgeous new species of snake: Snake skin. It's sex in a bottle. Snake oil with the leather from WD. Pure perfection. My second snake oil blend that I love. I foresee two more bottles at least. It's that dang good.

    Lawn Gnome

    Benevolent groundskeepers, these carefree plaster and stone companions lighten the hearts of passers by. Red currant, molasses, vanilla cream, moss, and patchouli I just got this in the mailbox and I couldn't wait to try it. For once giving into my temptation was worth it.....This is the most delicious perfume. Wet: Vanilla Cream and Molasses Drydown: The vanilla, molasses, and red currant swirl together to make this smell of vanilla creme, red currant and molasses. Complete Drydown: the molasses and red currant become a little bitter in the complete dry down. I love it because it keeps the vanilla creme from being too sweet. 2 hours later and now all I get is whiffs of red currant and vanilla cream. I this!

    Nevertheless, She Persisted

    Outside of the iris, this is perfect. Oude and steel, with a hint of Frankincense makes this perfect. Iris just stands out on the corner smelling lonely and funky. I will keep this bottle for what it represents, but I don't think I will be wearing it too often.

    Pleasures of the Imagination I

    This black leather. Black whip leather. It purrs wit the myrrh. It's clean, sensuous, and perfect. This is needs to be added to my arsenal of war scents. I need another bottle of this b/c its just that damn sexy and fierce.

    Desert Places

    Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast In a field I looked into going past, And the ground almost covered smooth in snow, But a few weeds and stubble showing last. The woods around it have it – it is theirs. All animals are smothered in their lairs. I am too absent-spirited to count; The loneliness includes me unawares. And lonely as it is, that loneliness Will be more lonely ere it will be less – A blanker whiteness of benighted snow WIth no expression, nothing to express. They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars – on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places. – Robert Frost A blanker whiteness of benighted snow: white sandalwood, dry vanilla, white tea leaf, and orris. Gorgeous white tea leaf! I love it the snow note plays gently in with the vanilla and orris. I hope this will age well....cause I am digging it

    Savage Forever

    THis smells like Rigley's spearmint gum on me. How weird.

    The Deluge of Blood

    I smell like popcorn. Gingery, slightly bloodied and salt popcorn. How interesting.

    The Yawning Void

    Cold, Dark, and empty, like space I imagine. That's exactly what it smells like. I like it. Not enough for a bottle. But enough to keep my decant.

    Fake News

    This is a lot prettier than I expected. I like the gold aspect much more than I thought I would. This is actually wearable. Even with the pink pepper and patchouli. Color me impressed.

    Aquarius 2016

    The pepper is strong here as is the sweet vetiver. It's pretty, but not for me.

    A Thousand Thoughts, and Hopes, and Joys

    Wet: As carnation normally does...it goes to spicy, sweet cinnamon floral on my skin with hints of vanilla. Dry: Cinnamon, spicy sweet freesia. It's lovely, but not for me.

    Mud-Mingled Boot Slush

    This is lovely. Minty/spearmint water dirt. The grass note kind of catches you in teh back of the throat but it's nice. I need a partial.

    King Mandarin

    King Mandarin is a refreshing, tart, opulent citrus oil. The scent is uplifting and cheering and creates a strong sense of well-being. It is a relaxing fragrance that promotes sensuality through delight. Fresh: Orange peel. Fresh Orange peeled from the top so you can still smell the greenest part of the orange and the peel. Dry: Flat, long lasting, strong orange mixed with a lot of peel. Not a fan. So glad this is going to a new home.
