Fresh white musk, honeycomb, sweet apricot, elemi, orange blossom, and mischievous pink pepper.

In bottle: honey, apricot, and pink pepper. And an almost candyish orange blossom; and one month on, sniffing this from the bottle again, I'm struck immediately by that candyish orange blossom note. This is kind of like a sister to PL176's orange ( Read more... )

Just a hint of gorgon blood: bright nectarine, honey, sandalwood, green musk, sea buckthorn berry, and oakmoss.

In bottle: this blend kind of hits almost every feminine scent family: it's fruity, it's floral, it's green, and a dash of soapiness for good measure. Nectarine and green musk, plus oakmoss to reign it in a bit. There is no noticeable ( Read more... )

A serious, studious scent: fig, night-blooming jasmine, red sandalwood, bourbon vanilla, oak bark, leather accord, and black amber.

In bottle: fresh from the lab, it's rather sharp in the bottle, with oak, leather, and amber, with an almost smoky feel. The jasmine is giving it a slight floral sweetness overlayed with with a vanilla creaminess, but ( Read more... )

A toodle oodle of pink cotton candy noses, vanilla spun sugar fur, scattered kernels of popcorn, and a touch of polished golden wood.

In bottle: pink cotton candy, vanilla, and cookies. And a hint of that popcorn too; very sweet and foody, but not entirely ~piiiiiink~ because of the wood. This is a very lovely wood note.

Wet on skin: the poopcorn ( Read more... )

I'm planning to pick up a few things before the current Single Notes go down, so opening up a Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab group order in case anyone else wants to join in. This group order is based in Singapore, but I will ship anywhere. Items will be lab cost + fees, I don't roll in the international shipping cost from the lab to me. I am ordering ( Read more... )

As I've gotten a query--just a quick post to say that I'm not decanting the Halloweenies, due in part to work being really tricky at the moment, as well as the suspicion I won't fill the circle even halfway :3 If you are interested in sniffies of all the Weenies, Mellifluous has one here, or alternatively you can watch this space as well for when I ( Read more... )

Almost three months ago, I purchased some Geek Chic Cosmetics solid perfumes and meant to review them all, but somewhere along the way completely forgot about doing this -_- And since sresla prodded me on two of the GCC blends, I decided I'd just quickly pull those out and put this up as well :)

Like the previous round, I'll be recapping my ( Read more... )

I'm running a small international, Asia/Pacific-centric decant circle for all the blends included in the recent update: Harvest Moon, Blue Moon, Blaur Mond, Eight-Petaled Lotus, Siberian Musk, both Coraline scents and all three Pandora scents. The circle is based in Singapore, but I am willing to ship anywhere (air mail), with or without ( Read more... )

The song of a host of dread spirits wailing their grief to the moonlit heavens: grey, silken ambergris and cold davana cascading over a landscape of bog rosemary, marsh cinquefoil, sea holly, grey willow, bog asphodel, sundew, lowland meadow grass, and frost-limned peat.

In bottle: soft flowers, a touch citrusy, a touch aquatic. It's hard to say ( Read more... )

Antiqued bourbon vanilla and tobacco-tinged yellow sandalwood with copal and amber incense, frankincense, tonka absolute, and myrrh.

In bottle: wow. Resins, tobacco, and sweet, creamy vanilla. It's a bit...Celeste-like, only not as spicy as Celeste: no what was saffron in celeste is the lovely mix of warm woods and incense here, but the overall ( Read more... )
