Veggie and I coordinated with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dormouse_in_tea on an order in later September, and sniffed the things today.
Perfumes ordered were Caffeinated Death, Kincardine Maiden, Skeleton Key and Straightjacket by Arcana Soaps. And Villainess' Autumn Gala Whipped body lotion, because I sometimes have a lotion problem.
Ad copy from here.
Caffeinated Death: A fatally wired combination of cocoa absolute, coffee, chai spices, Bourbon vanilla, and white cognac. You can sleep when you’re dead.
Kincardine Maiden: A harvest blend for traditional corn dollies and the spirits that live among the grain: hard apple cider, genuine hay absolute, chamomile essential oil, infused honey, and the smallest dash of white musk.
Skeleton Key: A tangle of brassy harvest spices and bleached bone white notes. Cassia cinnamon, creamy toffee, pale almond, ivory sugar, Mexican vanilla, coconut, cinnamon leaf, and red nutmeg. (Please avoid if you have skin sensitivities to cinnamon.)
Straightjacket: Trust us, it's for your own good. A warm, controlled hug of rich Tahitian vanilla, pumpkin flesh, ginger custard, breadfruit, and hints of tonka bean, mango, and cinnamon.
There is a weird coffee note to Straightjacket on me.
Skeleton Key flat-out disappears on Veggie (which is kind of a neat trick; it is a brassy cinnamon smell on me, with hints of pepper and amaretto on the drydown).
I'm not sure if it's the hay or the chamomile in the Maiden that's making me hesitate about it, but there's definitely something going on here.
I ... got nowhere near the Caffeinated Death. I think I may lose my nose if I approach the bottle when the Veggie's near it.
The lotion is pleasantly appley, which is kinda neat.
