Arrived yesterday.

Wolf Moon - This scent is that of unending, unquenchable hunger and feral madness. This is the dead of winter: a frozen night, chill wind, and the sharp, warm perfume of blood, fur, fang, and claw. Winter air, Terebinth pine, juniper berry, dusty orris, deep amber, white sandalwood, black musk, blue cedar, and tonka. This is a cold forest on a crisp, clear night, snow crunching underfoot and snow on the cedars. No heat, though it might warm up and open on my skin. Lovely, evocative scent.

Lyceon- A monstrous, brutal, and bloodthirsty blend: blackened myrrh, crushed olive leaf, black musk, spikenard, frankincense, cypress wood, opoponax, white ginger, and patchouli. I'm in love. It's intriguing in the bottle, but ohhhhh.. on my skin, the spikenard and musk and myrrh swirl and transform. Nothing monstrous or bloodthirsty here - this is the wolf after the hunt, after the feast, after the sex, curled in the den, sated and yet.... this is both want fulfilled and sultry, teasing promise. I want more.

Midnight on the Midway- Lightning splits the sky, illuminating the skeletal skyline of the carnival rides: sugared incense and night-blooming flowers. I don't I ever would have ordered this had E not smelled it (and fell in love with it) at a snif'n'swap. The description doesn't do it justice. I get no florals: I get cotton candy and caramel corn and underneath a hint of buttered popcorn. Reminds me of summer evenings at the Ex.

Destroying Angel One of the deadliest mushrooms to ever pop through Gaia’s soil. Papery white notes evoke the grace of this fungi, grounded by thin, crisp soil.

Tweedledee - Ridiculous! Kumquat, white pepper, white tea and orange blossom.

Jailbait - Innocence defiled. Sticky pink bubblegum and the thick, sweet scent of orange and cherry lollipops smeared over a breath of heady womanly perfume.

Vechernyaya - the Evening Star: Three white musks with poppy and patchouli.

Tenocititlan - The greatest of all Aztec cities, and capital of their empire. Amber, hyssop, coriander, epazote, Mexican sage, prickly pear and Mexican tulip poppy.

Glasgow - The rich scent of wild blackberry breezing over gentle rosy heather.
