Absolue Rose or Die
I loved this one on paper, but on skin, the balance of notes is quite different - fortunately, it's even better! Rose or Die is a smoky, woody, black tea and rose scent. There is no citrus listed in

Dreamy soap
Well, yes, indeed, that fragrance would be a fantastic out-of-this world soap. It's all the things stated before: leafy, fresh, mushroomy magical blend with decent longevity. This is the second

Soft, Quiet, and Deliberate
As an artist, I think a lot about materials and process; how things are made, using what, for what purpose. As a printmaker, I think about paper more than I might care to admit. I fall asleep

2nd December
This is a refined version of traditional Arabian scents but with a slight french twist on it. 2nd December opens up with a citrus note paired with Oud. It is a dark, resinous and sweet Oud note and

Phoenix Oolong · Uttori
Fermented Chinese oolong tea
Testing a perfume I've had for about six months but haven't had the nerve to wear. I get photorealistic darkly oxidized oolong tea plus spices and dried fruit. Honey but not sweet. Mellows a lot in

Velvet Violet · Dries van Noten
Finally testing my decant split
Warm, smooth, synthetic; Velvet Sesame might have been a more accurate name. Spicy pepper + faint violet opening, big warm sesame and barley heart, and I get strong, synthetic benzoin and tonka on

ghoulish horror host gelato
Myrrh Shadow 403 smells like the Crypt Keeper's signature ice cream flavor, an inexplicable combination of sour medicinal powders and resinous, demulcent sweetness. Apothecary ice cream served in

crumpled muslin caps, etc
A melancholic's cream-stained regency morning dress worn well past midnight, white muslin and satin grown heavy with torpor, lace-trimmed cap askew over hair unwashed and unpinned for days.

madcap delight
Beautiful foolishness, madcap delight. Coloring book fruit bowls come to life scribbled wild outside every line, Aladdan's cave jeweled jello towers giggling, wibbling, sweet reckless audacity of

Lune Feline 2015 · Atelier des Ors
The stirring of things best left unstirred.
A hooded figure watching from beyond the shadows, but shadows of what, and why in a place no shadow should be? The insidious intrusion, the confounding juxtaposition, the thing found in the wrong

The raspberry has Chuck Bass's face.
An underripe raspberry swimming in an oversized leather jacket, smoking the wrong end of a cigarette. The raspberry has Chuck Bass's face. The shadow it casts is an equally scrawny and pitiful rose.

Ramshackle wooden pier, salt-bleached planks sea wrack rot, shifting scrim of slate sky. Miss Akranes contest, bright bunting wilting in salt spray and sea mist, dripping gown and cracked rubber

Madawi Gold Edition
Madawi Gold had been on my radar for the last 9-10 months but I could never pull the trigger as it retails for 300, sells out when discounted and it can be hard to sample Arabian Oud. I finally found

Avant Garde
Avant garde boots made of perforated cordovan on your feet. You smelled the veg tanning, the glue, the fibers that made every strobel stitch and Goodyear welt, you smell the cork. And then you forget

Pretzel · Demeter Fragrance
Does what it says on the tin
No word of a lie, this smells like a pretzel… for about 10 minutes. And those 10 minutes are glorious — my *god* do those 10 minutes knock it out of the park! And then that 10 minutes evaporates into

Chergui · Serge Lutens
A Study in Contrast
Chergui exists in a kind of harmonious tension: dry yet sweet, smoky yet soft, intimate yet vast. It is one of those rare fragrances that feels less like a composition of notes and more like an

A quick whiff
This one opened strong, with a flash of cinnamon underlying the bergamot and tangerine, that gave it a combined star anise feel for just a second. The drydown let the florals out a bit more, with the

Cherry sans medicine (plus wood), you say?
Cherry fans, this is a love letter to you. This scent is like picking your way through a cherry orchard at night when all the fruit is at that perfect state of ripeness. There’s this feeling of dark

Surprisingly sweet, Overall disappointing.
It doesn't smell bad, but this fragrance having a top note or cannabis just feels wrong to me. I don't get cannabis anywhere, it doesn't even smell very resinous either. It's surprisingly sweet, it's

Not Your Rose · Lancome
Absolue Not Your Rose
I really loved this one on paper but sadly not so much on skin. It is a very light, very aquatic, musky and soapy perfume with faint rose over top. It smells like generic blue shower gel from a hotel

Vanilla Canyon · Phlur
Beautiful scent, not so great performance.
This is niiiice. The plum isn't necessarily loud or screaming "YO IM A FRUIT." It just adds what I can only describe as a dark juiciness. Vanilla, woods, patchouli at the base. Then the honey comes

Moth · Zoologist Perfumes
The Romance of Certain Old Clothes
Moth, you beautiful freak, I'm obsessed with you. It starts out spicy and camphorous in a way that clears my sinuses and goes straight to my brain. In like, an almost unpleasant but addictive way.

Sensual, spicy & memorable
Named for an Australian bush ranger separated from his lover by death & time (and only recently reunited), this scent echoes this tragic love story beautifully. Starting out with almost
