Sucreabeille: Fire Witch

Fire Witch: Burning leaves, gunpowder, leather, cardamom, clove.

I don't like this in the bottle.

When I apply it, it smells gross at first. Several of the scents do but then temper down to something pleasant or even enjoyable.

I can kind of smell the cardamom in this but it's lost in the other scents, or is tangled with them. The leaves don't just smell burning, there's a bit of (pleasant) decay as well. The clove becomes more forward over time without smelling like medicine or ham.

I don't like this one. I don't hate it. There's scents that have repulsed me, that have been wild NOs, and this isn't that. But I wouldn't choose to wear this again.

Sucreabeille: Sweatpants Goblin

Sweatpants Goblin: Rich, buttery goodness with crystallized honeycomb and the coziest pair of sweatpants ever.

I absolutely hate this in the bottle and it does nothing on my skin but make me sad. It smells like bad, stale, chemical-tasting kettle corn.

A lot of time when I'm reading scent descriptions I don't know which words/terms are meant to be taken seriously. Is flannel a scent? Petrichor? Petrichor has a literal scent, it's an odor, but is it being used as an emotional descriptor? Is fur a scent? Dragon blood sounds like a descriptor but it's a specific scent... blend? Aroma? Is sweatpants a scent? Or is it meant to evoke weekend relaxation? Is it supposed to denote softness and comfort? I don't know but that's not what this smells like. Just really not great.
