  1. For a rainforest rather than evergreen forest, I'd like to pimp Enraged Orangutan Musk (five, dark, aggressive musks, ambergris bouquet, Malaysian rainforest plant extracts, black amber and orange peel.). It's one of my favorite things.

    Lilac!

    Any new scents you guys would recommend for my lilac fix? Driving home today, I saw many lilac bushes in bloom and I started craving their smell. I am hoarding Dragon's Eye but I'd like some more lilac dominant blends.

    Conjunction of Mars and Saturn

    This certainly smells malefic. Dragon's blood makes an unholy alliance with a powdery resin note. This is dry as bone on my skinistry. I can pick out the black musk, daemonorops, and cypress on drydown. My synesthesia is the red sands of Mars blowing through dried cypress branches. I was hoping for more tobacco and wood notes. I'll cellar it and retest, as black musk rarely works for me when fresh. Very true to concept and I am glad that I was able to experience this but the blind bottle maybe was not a good idea.

    Looking for scents that smell like chai

    Layer Saw Scaled Viper with a Milk note... perhaps the milky Yule lad?
  6. Well, I have to pimp Chocolate Stout Cupcake, Strawberry Sufganiyot, Muddy Puddles, The Instructional Manual, Mystical Aphorisms of the Fortune Cookie, Sticky Eyeballs and Floppy Entrails. Also, not sure Mari Lewd, Pumpkin Spice Cookie, Pumpkin Lager, Feeding the Dead, Hard Cider Cake, Huesos de Santos, or Stale Marshmallow Chick have been mentioned. Also, Gingered Chocolate Souffle and La Belfana (violet candies). Less mentioned but delicious Yule Lad Stufur if memory serves is the bread and apricot jam guy?

    Sandalwood Scents

    Silk Road. Unf!
  8. The Mirror, from this year's Lupers. In combined with pink pepper and ambergris with a touch of lily, this is perfect.

    Ethereal Scents?

    The Fairy Thorn is my recommended scent for smelling like a fairy queen. Unless of course you can get your hands on some Queen Mab, but she's hard to get.

    When your favorite GC blends are discontinued

    I never did get to try Nocnitsa, but have you tried Burial? Given the similar notes, I should try it but I'm wanting more woods than dirt. Maybe I can layer Burial and Black Forest...

    Metallic scents

    The Ninth Cage, which I have not smelled personally, is said in reviews to smell of wood and metal (iron). Torture Queen has metallic notes.

    The search for the perfect Violet....

    Check out Wings of Azazel, should be easy to find an imp. Violet with resins. For sweet, violet candy, La Belfana or Faith. My absolute favorite violet however is Darkling Thrush. Every year I hope for a resurrection. If you don't mind gardenia, Le Serpent Qui Danse is violet plus vanilla!

    Well, now there's a review but the Seesaw sounds odd...

    Oranges, Satsumas, Tangerines & Mandarins

    If we're including atmosphere spray, Geisha and Samurai is very much blood orange dominant.

    Milk and Cream Notes

    This thread has most of the cream and milk scents that I've tried covered but I feel compelled to mention My Baby and a Baby Goat! This is pure milk and soft musk on me. So comforting, milk is so primal in it's soothing quality.

    When your favorite GC blends are discontinued

    Maybe Jersey Devil with a layered dirt note? The moss/foresty parts were like Jersey Devil to me, but Nocnitsa had those added dirt / soil / earth notes. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a try. Jersey Devil is already a favorite so getting a mossy dirt to go with it may help.

    What's the best coconut blend?

    Has anyone pimped Tarot: The Star yet for coconut recs? Or, Obatala? Pure coconut milk... Also, Black Pearl, So Below, and Body, Remember are high on my list. And, I just tried Harigata Two, very coconutty For foody coconut, try to find some Spooky, it's delicious I've seen most of these on the sales thread here I second or third recommended Snake Charmer and Death Adder Also, I get coconut from fresh Snow White Hidden Pearls is like Black Pearl minus the hazelnut and add pear,yum. Mine is faint though. Brown Jenkin and Blood Pearl have coconut but it's muted by the other notes, however I like both. I don't smell any coconut in Perversion, but I love it! Lovers and a Fan, definitely has coconut, but I'm not sure if the lemongrass is bearable, I'm hoping it mellows out with some aging. Goblin has dry, husky coconut, but it's overpowered by the patchouli in my opinion, it's much better aged! Shoggoth, is an odd coconut beast, who glows... phosphorescent!

    Any thoughts regarding a replacement for Nocnitsa? I love the smell of moss in a forest, at night?

    Ambergris

    A Specific Aberration has shot to the top of favorite scents and I think it is due to the ambergris! I think the Lab's ambergris accord is similar to the white amber accord I love in The Girl and Hunger Moon too. So, if I can necrobump this thread, I'd love to hear about newly discovered ambergris (or Grey amber) blends that are beloved.

    Springtime scents

    Necro bump. I know Spring is still technically two and a half weeks away, but it's been unseasonably warm here courtesy of La NiƱa. What are some good Spring scents? Of course I am digging out last year's Shunga and Rose Red will be worn, Budding Moon, and Peony Moon. Fairy Thorn seems a clear choice. I'd love more inspiration.
