- Oberon - Orchid, white musk, and bergamot wafting over juniper berries, with a gentle touch of soft, earthy patchouli.
- herby, weird. definitely not human. kind of like it, but not sure what it smells like exactly. not much staying power on me.
- Crossroads - A chill twilit garden of blooms over dry earth and mosses, heavily laden with incense and offertory herbs.
- much warmer and spicier than I thought it would be - some kind of vanilla in there? like the idea but probably won't wear again.
- Windward Passage - Breezes blowing off of the waters of the Caribbean: marine accord, seaweed, and bladderwrack.
- starts off with a big salty smack of old ocean water- like you're seeing it through a sepia lens- and settles into a very traditional masculine marine scent after about four hours. In between you get herby saltwater with hints of men's cologne. Nice, but might be too classical for me.
- 51 - Luminescent, glowing, and otherworldly: green mandarin, neroli, honeydew, white amber, guava, freesia, white and green musks hovering over desert scrub, smashed wood, and the dry, biting scent of night air over the Groom Lake salt flats.
- liking this one most so far. weird, herby, thin, green. need to investigate further but with so many to try i feel tired thinking about going back to the same one all the time.
- Night-Gaunt - something akin to yuzu, white grapefruit, and kumquat mixed with the snow-dusted flowers of Mount Ngranek.
- much warmer and spicier than i thought it would be. starts off with a lot of patchouli and sandalwood, mellows into faint floral spice. definitely just floral by two hours. meh on this.
- Fighter - Leather, musk, blood, and steel.
- have not yet managed to wear this one by itself because the leather is so overpowering. it's very strong on me. i do like it tamed with Mage, though, where it transforms a bit and becomes leather undertones with hints of something swirly and weird-herbal up top.
- Mage - All mystique and thrumming power: gurjum balsam, Sumatran dragon's blood resin, olibanum, galangal, oleo gum resin, and frankincense.
- haven't managed to wear this one by itself since it seems to go directly floral straight out of the bottle and i always wash it off. might try on its own some weekend day when i'm feeling particularly femme.
