Oats, cream, honey and red wine primarily.

Yummy baked goods, one of the best LPMP subgenres, amirite?! I guess this smells like oatmeal cookies? I don't know if it's that specific for me, but that bakery warmth and sugar & spice is right on the money.

Mara always creates amazing caramel apple scents! I think this reminds me somewhat of Curiosities, but it's also it's own thing. The combination of the burnt sugar and smoked sandalwood is amazing (and makes me think back to one of my beloveds, Fade to Black). I think this is what I wanted Sweet! to be, way back when. But also, it has a sophistication beyond the usual gourmand.

The labels are so colorful, amirite?! Perfect for a Chakra collection. The last set made a really great "scented wardrobe" kind of thing and I think this one will too, so grab the whole set if you're able and you'll have both scent and intent for whatever you need!

Thank you so much for pointing that out - ugh, I hate it when I forget a thread! But there is one for it now.

Warm swirls of gingerbread and vanilla blended with woody notes of cedar, teak and mahogany, then layered with the resinous polish of amber and sandalwood.

Thank you, but it's not necessary - again, my eternal gratitude to everyone who was so kind to donate. Things are stable, more or less, life is moving forward. 💖

Yep, lost my entire collection of samples which was in the hundreds of trial vials. And not yet, but it's coming along. Hopefully we can move back by May (possibly).

This doesn't strike me as citrussy as Envirant was, but I like how well it blends overall, definitely a sunny breezy Summer kind of mood. Thankfully the aloe behaves on me and beyond the initial drydown I don't specifically smell it at all.

I can't compare this to previous versions but I recognize the same aspects in regards to its' appeal: that lushness of the tuberose framed by the fruit and underscored with the musk and vetiver. So beautifully classy, I think it's especially appropriate for nighttime but would also be a great scent for the office or any occasion where you want to give off "a cut above the rest" kind of vibes.

I love melon-based scents and this one is really interesting to me because there's some kind of...spice?...in there. I don't know why my brain is doing that but I like it. As with any version of this fragrance, the overall fruitiness is a total joy, so uplifting! Everything is well-balanced, other than the melon heart I don't get the sense of any one note crowding out the others. It's sweet but not overly so, in that way I think it's both work-friendly but also perfect for casual social situations.

I'm sure you'll be fine then.

I would say that there's not an incense impression to Earth and Urn, it's more earthy/smoky, but not, like, dirt, just elements which come across as earthy, which coffee can do as well depending on the type. So if you want that specific coffee incense combo, Earth and Urn is not that specifically. But I think it's wonderful!

I mean...probably? Personally I'm not really in favor of using pheros on kids but I know people have successfully for various reasons so that's JMO.

The candied blueberry aspect of this blend is right up front, and certainly brings that fun vibe along with it. It's bright, sweet, tangy, all of those positive associations. As it dries down the other notes help it to evolve to something less blatantly fruity, which is interesting. It's almost tea-like to me.

I love the Egyptian Musk in this, it's so gorgeous, but there's something about the plum blossom note that does not like me, I fear. It's coming across a little bitter. But I can certainly see how this is so sophisticated and definitely appropriate for special occasions and the like.

I was such a big fan of the original and forever kicking myself that I didn't get a bottle so you know I remedied that mistake! Maybe it's because it's freshly-brewed but I feel like the Blue Smoke aspect is somewhat stronger than the Cuddle Bunny aspect at this point, with the tart blueberry on top. As it dries down I feel like it wears pretty close to the skin and softens to the point where more of the CB vibe comes out. But it is definitely Autumnal in nature. If not for the phero I think a guy could wear this as well, as there is a thread of sweetness but it's not louder than anything else.

The reason I really loved past versions of EBIL-ish! had to do with the Egyptian Musk which Mara used in the blending, so gorgeous! This year's variant has Indian black musk attar instead and so it's still that deep dark vanilla-clove thing but with more of a Autumnal kind of vibe, I would say. But it's wonderful, earthy and smooth and just a wee bit zesty. It wears rather more spicy than sweet on me but it's a great Fall mood for sure.

My high concept impression of this one is "haunted caramel apple."
