This is the (admittedly very delayed) continuation of my previous Conjure Oils review, which is found here. Today I’ll review Maman Brigitte, March – Storm Moon, Marie LaVeau, Set, and Shapeshifter.

Sixteen92 Winter 2016 Reviews
This season, Sixteen92’s theme is stones and crystals, complete with elemental and magical correspondences. I never have any idea of what to expect from winter collections, but I was happy to see this collection seemed to have a decent variety of options with woody, incense, gourmand, spicy floral, and cold floral options. As it turned out, I had about a 50/50 success rate. I’ve grown to enjoy a lot of florals from this brand, but this time around the woody/incense scents worked much better for me than the florals.
Perfume Picks: Spring 2016
Since this blog was inactive for a year, my last “perfume picks” post was also spring scents. But I have a year more of scent testing under my belt, and new criteria for spring scents. Last year I chose some strongly fruity and floral scents, which I also wore through much of the summer – especially Southern Gothic and Blackberry Noir, which I will wear any hot day of the year. This year, due to some seriously inconsistent and very damp weather, I’ve been reaching for more moody scents that can work during both warm sunny days and the cold, rainy, even snowy days in between. Again: 5 picks with mini-reviews.
Perfume Review: New Additions to Sixteen92’s GC
I’m raising this blog from the dead in preparation for some reviews from my new subscription to Sixteen92’s Circle. I’ve always waited with baited breath for any early reviews from Circle subscribers, and now that I’ll be getting collections a month before their official launch, it’s my turn to give back!
About a month ago, Sixteen92 announced on Facebook that they are adding three scents to their General Collection: Baba Yaga, Last Exit for the Lost, and Waking in Winter. I happen to love all three of these, so this seems like the perfect opportunity to review them. I’ve added some bonus notes on how they age, because I’ve had these for a while now.
Perfume Review: Nine Sixteen92 Scents
The past few weeks have been filled with 90% thesis writing, 5% panic, and 0% blogging. But I’ve just gotten a new chapter submitted, so I can take a break for some reviews! This will be a review of Sixteen92’s Cloven, Grimm, Hellebore, Goody Proctor, Mellifera, Penny Dreadful, Southern Gothic, The Sound and the Fury, and Wise Blood perfume oils.
