Note about Fright Night and Ignis Fatuus: I really enjoyed these but found them both way too intense for most of the year, with the warm weather. I gifted them to someone who lives in a cooler climate. I did eventually regret giving these away and repurchased Fright Night in 2025. I may repurchase Ignis Fatuus.

The initial exposure, from a grab bag of secondhand "indie" scents (circa 2020):

  • Xocolatl - coffee essential oil, patchouli, cocoa absolute, whipped cream, sugar. This scent is amazing, and I still wear it regularly, even after having it for years. ๐Ÿ’–
๐Ÿ’–- Loved!
๐ŸŽ- Sold or Gifted
๐Ÿ’ซ - Untested
๐Ÿฅ€-Ugh!

Patterns: I'm apparently not a fan of white musk. Honey scents generally don't work out for me.
