KHAMRAH QUAWAH (Lattafa)
I keep looking for the perfect cozy rich winter scent and rememered I had a bit of this one. It's rich and ambery, with deeply browned caramel and coffee notes. One of the only 2 Lattafas I kind of like.

AMBER & ROSEWOOD (Maison Label)
The longer I wear this, the more I like its cozy gothic-style rich ambery vanilla presence. There's no real rosewood or wood here, but it's nice in its simplicity nonetheless. It's even inexpensive but, alas, difficult to get in the States. #frangrancesky

MALT (Akro):
This reminds me of when my last molars were coming in as a teen and I used Orajel on my gums. It tasted and smelled like old shoe leather and rum, as this smells. Plus, this has a hint of burnt caramel and sweet cardboard. I'm gonna pass this on.

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT (Merchant of Venice)

PURPLE HAZE (19-69)
Got this complete cliche through a mystery swap, and it's hypnotically interesting. I wouldn't wear it in public, but wow. Earthy patchouli, resins, greenery, petrichor, and a eucalyptus-like note that's probably ravensara. Oddly craveable.

I have a thing for gothic literature and gothy fragrances. One fragrance that smells really gothic to me is LOULOU by Chacherel. Anise & iris hit first. Initially, it smells old-fashioned, but then it deepens with plum & incense, becoming creamy & powdery. What's w/ the bottle though? #fragrancesky
