The Shungas were part of the Lupercalia update that happens each year around Valentine's Day. The scents vary year to year, so there's no guarantee what we will get next year, but some of them do come back. For the Crimson Peak scents, they were limited to a specific number of bottles, so once they're gone they're gone for good. I would recommended checking out the swaps area of the forum to see if anyone is selling the ones you want. You can even make a post in the Wanted section so people who have what you want can contact you! There's also usually bottles listed on eBay, and there's a sales group on Facebook as well. Just a heads up, the CP scents that are sold out on the site are super popular and will probably go for a good bit over retail due to the high demand. Thomas in particular is going for quite a lot (I missed out on him too!)

This smells just like a real lily, it's beautiful. Unfortunately, this didn't have a lot of wear length for me... Maybe 4-5 hours and it was completely gone.

I tried out Cobra Lily today, and it feels just perfect for spring! A fresh, clean, green floral.

Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

Thanks for the suggestions! I already had Morocco on my "to try" list, but I'll have to add Lyonese. -

Does anyone have recommendations for something similar to Edith Cushing? -
I got a partial decant of this as a frimp, so of course I had to try it. And it does smell just like a fake bayberry candle. I'm pretty sure my mom had one (or more) that smelled just like this. It is rather potpurri-like, as zankoku_zan said. Not sure I'd want to smell like this all the time, but I'm glad I got to try it! Update: So, my partner just walked into the room and (from the other side of the room!!) asked if I had lit a candle. The throw is strong on this one.

I really wanted to like this one, but I'm afraid it's just not for me. In the imp: Straight up dirt. I think it's the vetiver that's doing it, but I can't smell anything else. On wet: I get a little bit of something spicy, but overall it's still very much dirt. Dry: Finally, the patchouli comes out to dominate. I'm also getting a bit of what I think is the blackcurrant, and something slightly musty. Hours later, I'm finally starting to get a tiny whiff of the rose. The plum is still completely MIA, unfortunately. Overall, it really does make me think of black moths fluttering around in the dark. If you like dark, earthy patchouli scents, you will probably love this.

In the imp, this smells like oatmeal cookies to me for some reason. I had to check the notes to make sure there was nothing about oatmeal. While wet, it still smells very cookie-like to me, but the apricot starts to come out more. On the dry down, I finally catch whiffs of the bread and butter. Overall, smells like a yummy apricot pastry fresh from the bakery. Not much throw, but I couldn't stop smelling my wrist all day. I already went ahead and ordered a full bottle.

In in the imp, it's a very pretty floral scent. My nose is still pretty untrained, so I'm having trouble picking out individual notes, but it's very nice. As soon as I put it on, it smells exactly like a perfume my now-deceased grandmother had when I was a child. It instantly evoked memories of playing in her bedroom, standing in front of her bureau and smelling her perfume, trying on her jewelry... It's definitely a bit powdery, so if you don't like powdery florals this is probably not for you. But its definitely a win for me.
