This is a gather of the red fruits with their juiciest flesh meat parts delight. Pimento berry takes a centre stage with an almost lychee-like sharp tang in combination with tartness of red plum skins. Later it morphs into a round, softer fruity-floral that is distinctively carnation. One can hardly detect the earthiness of patchouli, although i suspect it is there that is why the fruits(pomegrante in particular) did not turn sour(or super sweet) on me. During dry down thyme and moss give an over all light-hearted and spring-y aura. I am not sure what foxglove smells like, sadly. Time to take a trip to the Botanical Garden!

The Lady On the Grey Wet: Opalescent Amber, Tobacco flower, Wild flowers, Creamy sandalwood Dry: Opque-powdery amber with sweet wild flowers Verdict: Sense of nostalgic. Soft and ethereal with soft creamy and powder amber floral. I swear Bpal's amber and honey always turn extra powdery on me!!(and that's not good ) I think if there's musk here it would soften that a bit but alas, no musks here. I shall give it to my mom, this is her kind of scent!!
-
Banana Peel in Graveyard Wet: Split seconds of banana flesh. Dirt, Grass, Something dusty, Weeds Dry: Bitter earth and grass and stones. A very faint of banana is lurking underneath. Verdict: This is no way a gourmand or fruity scent at all. Very "mossy" earthy with short lived banana.
-
Wet: Acai berry, amber, hint of neroli Dry: The sugar from snake oil is covered with acai berry and ONLY acai berry..dewy & glistening acai, not sharp anymore.. Verdict: An uplifting delicious fruity red berry goodness...NO powder-ish Snake oil here. Just lovely!!!
-
Wet: Sharp sugary-water with slight dusty opoponax and that familiar almost powder-ish but dark vanilla of snake oil. Dry: HELLO sugar cane with a touch of something floral(champaca?)..I also detect a faint "moth-ball" like vibe beneath all this. Verdict: It's a light blend with lots of sugary goodness..icy crystal clear sugary rush with opque-dusty and powdery slightly floral accent!! PRETTY

Wet: Delicate tea, white musk, soft vanilla bean.. Dry: Ghostly pearly musk, soft vanilla bean turned medicinal. Verdict: Soft, gentle, ghostly, delicate yet feels bit masculine/cologne-y..Qquiet the transformer..it lurks you in then it evaporates right before your eyes. Interesting!!
-
Wet: Strong musk and Vetiver, heady verbena, lavender. Dry: Smooth creamy vetiver, mellowed verbena, figgy-lavender Verdict: Loud and strong, then it mellowed out to a gorgeous verbena figgy-lavender(is that even a word? LOL)...Where did wild plum go? It never showed up...This is one lavender blend that does not scream medicine lavender, I can actually wear it and not have it turn sharp/bitter on me..Quiet stunning!
-
Wet: Juicy red apple and plumeria Dry: Pretty much the same red apple and plumeria. Although there's blood orange I dont get a deep, red citrusy feeling here..and then..there's a slight creamy feel to the blend maybe it's due to gardenia. I'm not crazy about heady gardenia but the note did not become dominate. It stays in the background. Verdict: Perfect red apple blend with a bit of an twist..it's still very red apples with exotic touches so it prevents from being too fruity or ALL apples. No detectable snake oil...which is cool with me since snake oil does not love me back. N.B. oil as aged over a year and two months when tested..
-
Faith Wet: sugar + water + soft violet Dry: sugared violet Verdict: from wet to dry it stays pretty much the same, it's just that, sugared violet but a very soft feel. NOT heady. Gentle & Pretty vibe.

Invasion of the Flesh-Eating Reindeer from Uranus
Mimosatique replied to RaeiNarcissus's topic in Retail Exclusive Oils
INVASION OF THE FLESH-EATING REINDEER FROM URANUS - Wet: Spiced gingerbread, cookie crumbs, wet, laced with booze spongy fruitcake with tinniest hint of canned cherries.. Dry: Drier, dusty-musk appear and wrapped itself over the saucy cookie. Verdict: Delicious, it's a light spiced cookie without any cinnamon-ish overkill..The gingerbread and fruitcake balance each other well. The mood is very festive. -
I Fell in Love with a Floating Brain
Mimosatique replied to RaeiNarcissus's topic in Retail Exclusive Oils
I FELL IN LOVE WITH A FLOATING BRAIN Wet: Moist, soft cake with ripe strawberry. Tiny bits of carnation. Somewhat sharp. Dry: Pink cake, sweet strawberry amp up along with some white grapefruit...there's a bit of an "jolt" of carnation from time to time...when I sniff it really close it's there, when I pull my nose few inches away then it's all pink strawberry cake with grapefruit. Less heady, getting smooth and creamy. Verdict: Sweet, girlie, bubbly with soft creamy appeal. Very glad the cake and cream stand out more so than the citrus. Swoon! -
Wet: Soft beeswax and something creamy... Dry: Powdery-creamy hint of smoke. It's not the incense smoke here. I guess the soft sweet powedry scent is the smoke. If olive oil is prsent it is really faint...barely there and NO it does not smell like salad oil nor the fruit itself. Verdict: Smooth, Sweet, Gentle like baby's skin...almost of that milky skin scent except I can detect the tinest "honey" note from the beeswax. Utterly quiet(not a loud scent) but beauitful. Bottleworthy!
-
Wet: Cider/Wine with heady carnation Dry: Not so "grainy" cider but carnation is still going strong. Verdict: LOVE the "murky" ruby wine with a gorgeous, heady, but NOT sharp(isnt that oxymoron?) Carnation. It's so darn pretty with a mischievous kick. Very tickle my fancy!! ;D
-
Wet: Glistening red berries...(currants?), Light amber, Soft iris. Smells hopeful. Dry: Sultry amber(but not powdery), light dusting of spices, hused red berries, almost a creamy feel of iris burying under all of these notes. Intoxicating!! Verdict: A sense of refined sophistication. Well balance of resin, floral, and fruits..nothing takes over one another. I feel calm with the scent and I'm associating Florence with the book, "Birth of Venus"..the young woman in the novel paints(which is rare for women to do that and good at during the Italian Renaissance), She is educated(reads Latin & Greek..again women were supposed to be just cute and not educated during that time.lol). Over all this blend gives that dignified aura with a touch of rebellious quality. Wonderful! My favourite blend in the entire Wanderlust! ;D
-
Wet: Blooming jasmine, hint of soft carnation, and incense. Dry: Jasmine has mellowed out and allowed carnations, vetiver, iris, and incense to come out and play. Verdict: Lovely dry down. It's a soft powdery-ish incense, but not soapy powder or honey powder scent that I dont like. The florals and vetiver with soft incense really transformed to something dreamy and soft an hour later upon application.... No doubt the caterpillar has turned into a beautiful butterfly. GREAT comfy and pretty scent.
