    Has anyone come across some sort of thin glass sticks anywhere? Along the lines of the glass wandcap wands, but longer (and without the cap part)? I keep thinking they'd work great as a reusable applicator that could be cleaned with alcohol. The closest I've seen so far were glass drink stirrers, but they were way too thick.

    There are thin glass applicators that you can get for khol powder if that helps.

    On me this smells like Pumpkin Sugar and Stekkjarstaur had a baby.

     

    Pumpkin Sugar is one of my favourites. Even though I amp the sugar note to high heaven and people always thell me I smell like crêpes, there is still a fantastic spice note detectable.

    Take that spice note and combine it with the marshmallow note from Stekk.

    Voilà, White Pumpkin Floss. I really do not get any white chocolate.

    Thank you VetchVesper for your input.

    I love Tombstone. It is nearly a cedar single note to my nose with a hint of vanilla and makes me feel like a fancy pencil. I have Stimulating Sassafras on my list to try but I am a bit scared that the butter note will turn rancid on me.

    I nearly bought Jolabokaflod but then I saw that it also had a chocolate not which put me off.

    I have an imp of Djinn but it must not have made an impression because I wore it once and forgot about it. I will go search my impbox and try it again.

    It's funny, I never associated Smokestack with vetiver because I have vetiver EO here and I don't like it much so I stayed away from blends that have vetiver listed. I will have to look deeper into that.

    Well somehow the Marquis de Carrabas must have escaped my radar because I have browsed the shop many times I can't remember him even though the notes sound right up my alley. Will see if I can find a decant.

    Thank you all for your suggestions! I remember I looked into Sweets to the Sweets a few weeks ago but it has been out of stock for at least as long. Speaking of out of stock, how long does it ususally take to restock oils?

     

    Kill-Devil sounds nice, I voted for it in this month's lunacy poll at the trading post.

     

    I don't think I will like Elegba. I actually like tobacco (one of my favourite non-bpals is Phaedon Paris Tabac Rouge), but coconut and I don't agree.

     

    Mouse Circus: I need to get a decant of this, I never ordered a blind bottle of this because I am weary of the popcorn.

     

    I have tried Drink Me; it was not for me.

     

    Grog: I will definitely get an imp with my next order.

     

    I will keep my eyes open in the sales posts for Sugar Skull and Sugar Cookie, but I think chances are high that they will come back this year.

    How similar are Stekkjarstaur and Detestable Putrescence? I am asking because Stekkjarstaur smells exactly like I imagine Detestable Putrescence would smell based on the description.

     

    Not even remotely! At least not to me. Stekk is all fluffy marshmallow. DP is really really buttery and a totally different vanilla note. I don't find Stekk has a cream note either, whereas DP definitely does. Could just be my chemistry/nose though. :)

     

    Thank you for your input. I will need to try DP then.

    My husband sneakily bought me the Graveyard Dirt I've been eyeing on etsy as a surprise. It is everything I have ever wanted in a dirt scent. I like it better than Zombi but I am not sure about Death Cap. I wore Deep in Earth the other day but I found it rather weak. I still want a bottle of both Zombi and Death Cap eventually but I am in no hurry since I've got a full bottle of Graveyard Dirt now.

    I never knew I loved dirt scents so much until I got some frimps of Zombi and Death Cap. I do not know if I need bottles of both of them but if I cannot decide which one I like more, I might have to. Are there more scents, preferably GC, that have the same vibe as Zombi and Death Cap?

     

    My all-time favourite mushroomy dirt scent is The Grave-Pig (Fig, oakmoss, mushroom caps, and patchouli). If you like Death Cap, you'll likely like The Grave-Pig as well! The patchouli in is very dirt-like, enhanced further by the other notes, and it's one of my go-to dirty hippie type scents. It's richer and a bit more loamy/moist than Death Cap, and less rosey than Zombi.

     

    Thank you, I will look into that one. Although I have no clue what fig smells like.
