Obligatory Peach Hair Gloss is lovely! I get the same warm pumpkin note as in Amber pumpkin, but here in combo with soft peach! But the peach note is not strong at all. Very nice though!

OMG this is gorgeous!!❤️ Thanks to my fairy I have now a partial bottle of this beauty! ❤️

Where strawberry moon 2009 failed me, strawberry dragon is a winner!!! Sweet juicy strawberry, no pepper.

There are only so little reviews here?

I bought myself snow covered plains blind this year. Must say, I'm no mint fan here, the snow notes usually put me off, but the combo with woods intrigued me!

The snow note is not strong luckily, it's a really soft nice snow note with more wood and moss notes! I like to spray it on our bedsheets, it smells really lovely and calming! And it holds up for days!!

I wouldn't wear it as perfume though, too cold, but perfect as linen spray!

Until now I've only tried emerald and lavender lace. Both have a distinct note I can't stand when dry. It's probably the lace note.

Wet emerald lace is really lovely! It's strong green grass! I like that! But as it dries, the lace part emerges and does not work with my skin chemistry. It was good to try it, but it's not for me.

Amber Pumpkin is the first pumpkin scent without any spice (asking with patchouli pumpkin hg) I also can't stand those typical spices like cinnamon, clove and nutmeg.

Here I get a warm pumpkin scent with glorious Amber! And no spice at all!

I was sceptical about Patchouli Pumpkin, it's not the typical patchouli scent. It's comfy warm pumpkin without any spice and rather harsh Patchouli. No earthy Patchouli though! That was the first impression.

The first harsh scent mellows into a really nice non sweet pumpkin scent with a bit Patchouli left!

It lasts days in my waist long hair! It suits the cool temperatures the last couple of days perfectly! 53-68F (12-20°C)

This ought to smell like candy strawberry? Don't know what's wrong, to me it just smells very floral, nothing sweet.

It's just like the so called strawberry note in strawberry moon or pink velvet kitty minus the booze.

2018 release

I'm torn with Ava. It starts as a soft scent but the almond note slowly takes over. Even my bf smells the almond note.

Sweet, soft and almond, no floral note.

2018 release

Adam is a strange scent. It starts as strong leather with woody notes. As it dries on my skin, it almost smells kind a like musk beneath the leather.

Dry it's just leather with wood notes. Not really a scent for me.

Until now I didn't like any coffee scent. Not from the lab or from someone else. Either way they were too much spice (or just plain spice) or too strong and sharp.

Café Mille et une Nuits is neither. There's only little spice, a nice dose of coffee and I can almost smell the Shisha smoke. It certainly has the vibe of Shisha Cafés. I might need a big bottle of it....

That's no scent for me. At first the pom is strong, which I like. But soon the wine note takes over and I can't stand the scent of wine. Especially red wine.

This imp can go...

2018 release:

Got this from am decant circle, Ian smells sweet, woodsy boozy to me. Booze notes don't work most of the time, but this here works really well! A nice woody slightly sweet smell. Really nice! ❤️

2018 release:

I got an imp of blood popsicle and am completely amazed. This smells completely like sweet red fruits for me. No dragons blood, which doesn't work most of the time.

As it dries, musk comes through. Maybe red, don't know.

Nothing salty, nothing metallic on me. I like it!

Got a bottle off the Etsy sale and was so excited since I already adore banana cream pie and key lime pie. I love nuts and was expecting a nutty pie scent.

Instead I got a sharp cinnamon nutmeg scent on my skin. Don't like it at all.

No sugar, no pie crust, just cinnamon and nutmeg.

Got this prototype with my last order.

First I can mostly only detect neroli, which I'm no fan of. It transforms into a green blend. On the dry down there's earthy incense.

Quite nice after the neroli fades.

I got an decant from Ajevie of this lovely hair gloss. What can I say - I love it! But i usually love cedar based scents!

(I think I will be devastated when my decant gets empty.)

This one is really strong in my hair, I smell it all around me! Cedar heaven!

With death cap I mainly smell cedar, which I love! Don't get coconut, but it has a slight creamy note to it. Guess that makes it a little softer and not overly heavy earthy.

Really interesting, normally I always hated rose scents. They were too clogging or artificial.

Not the Queen's croquet ground. I like the soft Rose scent with the dominant green leaves scent. Perfect for me!

This is a perfect scent combo of spicy clove and lovely Carnation. ♥️ Truly beautiful! Used it on my shin as moisturizing oil. Can't get anything of the snow note though.

I love this scent! The oil absorbs perfectly on my oily skin. (Don't use lotions but love oils).

It smells earthy powdery and I just love this as an all over perfume. ♥️

First I wasn't sure if I liked this one. It starts fruity and spicy on my shin and morphes quite a bit. It goes from spicy to kind of chilling (just like camphor and mint cool the skin).

But as it dries it morphes again to an almost powdery lovely jasmin scent. Guess the vanilla grounds the blend here. I really like it and it reminds me of something from the past but I cannot put my finger on. But really nice on my skin!

I had to have this scent given my name, which is Latin for mandrake.

Wet: this is a strong green astringent scent. There's a faint trace of basil, but not really strong.

Dry: as it dries down it gets more woody. For someone who likes rooty, earth scents, this one is really nice! It kinda smells like a mandrake root. Herby, rooty. Wonderful!

This is my first Atmo and I am truly impressed! Very smoky slightly nutty and a little bit sweet. Since I love smoky scents, this is a winner. Smells just like being at an campfire. Beautiful!

2017 version

In the bottle: this smells amazing! I love amber and tree scents.

Wet on my skin: I hardly smell anything, there is a faint amber and tree/moss note.

Dry: the scent dissapears extremely fast on my skin, which is sad. When I'm outside in the cold air, i cannot smell anything. Inside there is this faint smell.

The faintness is at least still detectable after a couple of hours, but altogether this is a disappointment.

I expected this to be creamy and sweet. Unfortunately it is neither creamy nor sweet on me. It is quite sharp, boozy and floral. After application I can detect a faint strawberry note. But my skin amps the boozy grenadine note. Not even a sweet candy note is there, but I don't know what rock candy is or how this smells.

I really wanted this to work, but it just doesn't smell good.
