Rose Sachets and Soft Powder
A soft, natural feeling rose with a sensual powder and musk. There are hay-like and subtly sweet facets. The overall texture is very fuzzy and soft. There are moments where I feel like it is a bit animalic, but it never goes too far.
It feels like lived-in satin sheets, a dusting of makeup powder, and old dried rose sachets tucked into a closet. To me it's very feminine, sensual and a bit self-indulgent.

Forest Floor
This scent is pine-y, very sappy, resinous, and bitter with a touch of green. The moss and sage are very pungent and almost animalic. It has a lot of presence for an oil.
It feels like gathering herbs in the woods, walking over deep dark loamy soil, with subtly sweet sap on your fingers and pockets full of unlit resin and incense.

Spices and Winter Holidays
Has a bit of a harsh opening (all I smell is sharpness and cinnamon). But it settles pretty quickly and the drydown is lovely. It is a spicy, sweet, earthy patchouli combined with a smooth vanilla and resins. This feels like winter holidays, sneaking into the boarding school's library at night, tobacco-steeped wood-paneled rooms, and drinking something spiced while it snows outside. Such a familiar and enveloping scent.

It reminds me a bit of a spicier version of B&BW Patchouli Vanilla lotion (which is one of my favorites).

Strong Vanilla + Patchouli
Boozy and warm vanilla extract combined with a beautiful earthy patchouli. It opens with the patchouli, which is earthy, syrupy and subtly smoky. As it dries there is more of that warm, almost toasted vanilla. It is sweet in a mellow syrupy way, and tempered by the smokiness. It feels dark and inviting. This has very quickly become a favorite, and it has come to feel very "me".
I find it to be quite strong and it lasts for a whole day.

Invigorating
A bright, white floral, and aromatic opening with a rich, earthy and bitter patchouli that keeps the overall feeling rather dark. It is not a syrupy or chocolatey patch, and I find it works well in warmer weather.
It makes me think of a deep indigo blue... like a blueberry, earthy and refreshing (but it doesn't smell like blueberry haha)
