Fancy with prophetic glance Sees the teeming months advance; The field, the forest, green and gay; The dappled slope, the tedded hay; Sees the reddening orchard blow, The Harvest wave, the vintage flow. Wheat stalks, hay absolute, and clove. Clovey...something. I dont know what wheat or hay smell like but I do know clove. Sweetens a tiny bit a few minutes after wearing. I cant explain it very well, but it's easy to wear and soft. A clean...earthiness I suppose.

One half of the Tarots binary expression of archetypical sovereignty, governing comfort and succor, the healing power of the natural world, the fecundity of the countryside, the stability of earth supported by the passionate tides of water, and all that gently nurtures humankind. This is the safety of home and kingdom alike, the promise of enough resources to sustain you and your community, the assurance the fruitfulness of the harvest, benevolent protection, and the wellbeing of generations to come. Amber oudh, mandarin rind, and Florentine bergamot. Warm flashes of citrus peeking through an ambery cloud. Warmth in a bottle.

The glory of Venus as the apex of luxury and sensuality: velvet red rose petal attar, sweet red oudh, Mysore sandalwood, red benzoin, elemi, silken musk, and jasmine sambac. For me this was all jasmine and Ivory soap. I didn't get any of the notes listed but jasmine. If you like jasmine or Ivory, you'll love this.

Very cheerful! Dewy daffodils and wildflowers in a big bouquet - this is the scent of spring.

Very subtle, soft pomegranate surrounded by a cloud of oud and incense with the tiniest whisper of carnation. This is exactly how the Empress would smell - rich and womanly, but also comforting.

Smells brown without smelling dirty. Acorns, pine needles, moss and all good foresty things being crushed underfoot with a swirl of patchouli in the air. It smells like a forest in late summer.

Sweet hazy red roses - not quite candied but quite sweet. Musky and romantic - the name suits it.

This sounds like it would be a Shunga - oh well. Apricot and soothing, high-quality cedar. No pencil shavings, at least not for me. Cherry blossom adds a faint floral creaminess, but apricot and cedar are the stars here. Overall, its smooth and elegant, befitting the Empress.

This one is nice and potent! It's pretty much perfectly split between all its notes - the carnation, cardamom and honeyed milk are all distinct and noticeable, but they come together to create something gorgeous! It reminds me a little bit of Alice, but spiced as opposed to sweet.

A creamy, smooth, simple vanilla rose. One of the softer High Priestess scents I've tried.

I'm super confused by this scent. On my skin it smells like baby wipes! Maybe aging will help?

This smells round, white and cool - like the moon! No real edges to this blend, just nocturnal floral smoothness. I dont get any cardamom or clove, just night-blooming jasmine and moonflower.

Definately lots of pomegranate, but not a wet, juicy kind. It's more of a dry pom, with swirls of incense smoke. Very elegant.

On me, none of the notes really stand out. It all blended into a warm, cozy thing. No cinnamon, no honey, just a sweet warmth. This will be wonderful to wear in the later half of the year.

Blueberry and lightly spiced, fresh flowers. Fresh, clean and soft. I dont get any tangerine, but I'm not complaining.
