Burning Piano Eau de Parfum

Nose of Gatsby

the grand finale

Smelling this on a test strip at Gatsby's Pike Place Market booth, the initial blast of smoked wood is potent, but quite nice. It mellows out with the dry down, with the smoke settling and a light touch of rose and leather coming through. A really...

Faux Flora No.5

Fischersund

enter the crypt

This fragrance is supposed to represent death/dying. This one is quite visceral — replicating the smell of decaying plant matter in damp blackened soil; burnt ash; fungi spore bodies, and the cycle of decomposition and rebirth. If I were to have...

Faux Flora No.1 - Fischersund - 22 days ago

Bottle 5
Sillage 6
Longevity 6
Scent

A distorted iris re-imagined as a white floral. Powdery, yet creamy and musky. Ambrox and sythetics are a bit much here. Nose blind quickly.

Tropic of Capricorn - Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes - 1 month ago

Scent

Fairly animalic opening fading to overripe fruits and florals (notably tuberose, but others like jasmine are noticable). Not crowd pleasing.

Dandelion Butter - Clue Perfumery - 2 months ago

Sillage 6
Longevity 8.5
Scent

The smell of a freshly-plucked dandelion flower, sappy green and all, smoothed by butter. Gorgeous but sits VERY intimately on skin.

Baraonda (Extrait de Parfum) - Nasomatto - 2 months ago

Sillage 10

Scent

Opens with a strong bourbon whiskey note. A very prominent rose in the heart pushes through for a long while before a spicy/woody dry down.

Champs Lunaires - Rogue - 2 months ago

Lovely burning wood scent. RBR is no longer in business, so this one is forever lost to time.

Scent

A light, musk dominant skin scent that is actually quite nice minus the absurd price point from manufactured scarcity.

My favorite from the house. One of the finest ambers ever made. A travesty it was discontinued.

La Tarte Tatin - Jousset Parfums - 2 months ago

Scent

One of the worst things I've ever smelled. Yankee candle on crack. The worst cloying syrup note that will not wash off.
