There seems to be a few missing from the list... maybe they were added after the post, but here is the complete spring list ♡♡♡ (mods please delete if I'm wrong here!)
***Spring 2020, April fools 2020: the nice and positive Novelties, sweets, and upbeats
ANGEL MILK: sweet milky breath over everything that’s sweet like pink Lollipops, cotton candy, cherry bon bons and a soft clear blending musk with a dollop of vanilla
ANIMAL CRACKER: this smells just like the dry, puffed out animal crackers, tiniest nuisances of dry almond, itty bitty touch of citrus and cinnamon make up this nostalgic cookie
CADBURY ONLY THE CREAM: this was a customer request! It took several tries to pin down something reminiscent of Cadbury’s super thick granulated creaminess. The blend includes, natural concentrated Shea, raw sugar note, simple syrup, melted marshmallow, buttercream, vanilla extract and butter
CC PEEPS!: cotton candy, marshmallow peeps, touch of tonka, peru balsam and myrrh and a barely there whisper of Rose de mai.
CHOCOLATE JESUS: this is just for fun as homage to the classic Tom waits tune which always comes bolting out of my mouth when my sons ask me to sing a song (it’s kinda like a kids song, right?) and I can sing it like a demented Cookie Monster lol, notes are: tonka bean and madagascar vanilla blended with a truffle cocoa and a tiny touch of bitter orange, dusty wooden stuff..., dried hay bales
DOVE SOAP MEMOIRS: ok so I haven’t smelled dove soap in a long time but it’s burned in my memory like it is for many others. When I smelled this clear synthetic musk which makes up most the base I realized that dove is likely 80-90% a synthetic clean clear musk, but to really bring the dove alive I added a little rose and lilies and sweet iris. This is one of the cleanest scents i have! I’m not a huge clean scent fan but this one is nostalgic and comforting and smells just like I remember dove soap.
MAY BOUQUET: does anyone remember this limited easter time/spring release from bath and body works? I tried to duplicate it from sheer memory as I haven’t tried it since the 90’s but this satisfied my desire for it at last! Blend of honeydew cantaloupe and musk melon, sweet honeysuckle, Jasmine, wildflower infusion, over a clear (commercial type in a 90’s way) lovely blending musk.
PURRS & FUR: soft pink vanilla, creamed amber, beeswax musk accord, coconut over smooth vanilla
RASPBERRY TEA: this is made from a black tea infusion that steeped over a month, and then some ripe raspberry fragrance with simple syrup make something that smells pretty damn close to the brisk version
ROSE MYRRH MUSK SODA POP: 100% natural! it kept smelling rosy, then like a myrrh musk, then like soda cola-esque pop, hence the name. The notes are ambrette seed oil, amber extract, pink rose de mai, red rose absolute, cozy sandalwood sweater accord, Shea, benzoin, Gurjun balsam, violet leaf extract, vanilla bean extraction, patchouli, bergamot
SCENT OF MYSTERY: (this changed from a sample I was previous sending out!) vanilla bean ice cream with banana slices on top, heavy on the Egyptian blue musk and cool af in a creamy pastel leather jacket
SOFT PRETZEL: smells so close to the real thing! Doughy, salted, waxy warm dry
SMOKEY VANILLA SKYLINE: charred sandalwood, gun smoke, dark spiced vanilla
SUNSET AMBER CHERRY VANILLA: a bright airy pale amber, soft ripe cherry, golden sands, soft pink vanilla, plus a healthy dose of crisp ethereal amber white
SWEET PATOOTIE: found retro ad and it just seemed to fit! Harmonious White lilies, creamy silk, pink salt water taffy, creamy musk, marshmallow, vanilla beans
PART ii
PEACH RINGS- ripe juicy Georgia peaches,red syrupy musk, dash of sweetened honeydew, touch of sparkle, and one tiny drop of clove made it come to life (finally a peach that doesn’t turn to bo on me! If you have that problem give it a chance the first stage seems like it could go that way, then it’s just like the peach ring gummies and it ends up a semi gourmand musk)
ROSEBERRY- creamed strawberries, vanilla syrup over a soda pop musk, sugar encrusted ripe rose
90’S SALON SELECTIVES- soft green apple and a vintage floral blending musk and a touch of brightness. Ok this may not seem like it belongs here but it brings me back to a safe preteen place, I loved this shit and it wasn’t that great of a shampoo but I just was obsessed with this scent and it brings back semi basic memories of simpler comfortable times.
BORN AGAIN VIRGIN- 100% natural, lilac blossom absolute, calendula, soft ambrette seed oil
BACKYARD LOUNGE- home brewed sweetened ice tea with lemon, sweet vanilla summer honey, floral style skin musk
PUSSY WILLOW- slowly drying damp earthy soft clay, honeysuckle nectar, sweet Jasmine blooms, cotton and a dry vanilla, serene blue lotus, magnolia absolute, flossed cotton sugar, benzoin, tolu balsam
***Spring 2020 somber, blues, dooms, ordinaries, even odds & weirds and atomspherics for comfort in relation, hard times
CEREMONY OF LAST FLOWERS: immortelle accord, golden amber, eastern spices, patchouli, sandalwood, sweet frankincense, grounding nag champa, sharp ozonic bolts, bulgarian rose, smoke
DRY ASPHALT & VIOLETS: asphalt, pebbles, cool musk, orris root and violets, touch of herbs, grapes and aldehydes
FRESH PRESSED VINYL: plasticy, rubberish, clean, just opened from the plastic wrap kinda smell
HAKKEN-KRAKS HOWL: sweet wet chypre over hakken-kraks milky dirt water grass tainted breath, barely a touch of soft rose

PART ii
CABIN BLOOD- mossy crags, charred sandalwood, aged rich deep brown spicy vanillic amber, hay tumbleweeds, wet terra-cotta clay, blood tainted tepid white tea in a chipped porcelain antique mug
