The Sun's Treasure: incenses, myrrhs, ambers to start with - it's pretty good in the wet phase, although it's fading fast. Developed into a lovely warm ambery-musk scent, but not very strong. Barely a residual scent 2 hours later.

The Carousel: too thin, turns out kind of herbal and sickly green on my skin. Also fading fast. Barely there in twenty minutes, residual in 2 hours. - SWAP

Nasty Woman: black fig and patchouli, filthy bourbon vanilla, honeyed amber oud, and loukhoum.
Immediately amber, then swiftly a strong tobacco scent. That might be the patchouli? Doesn't last very long, residual scent in 2 hours.

Bast: A desert wind alight with myrrh and golden amber, cardamom and honey, bourbon vanilla and cacao.
Amber and myrrh to start with, the honey hits strong on this one, even in drydown. However it's gone in a couple of hours, only residual scent.

Are those mostly American Gods? That keeps tempting me, but idk. I did get Bast, partly to contrast it with Bastet. (And was there another older Bast scent, I forget....) Sun's Treasure sounds pretty, but I bet I would wind up smelling like an orange.

I got Nasty Woman to support the cause but I'm afraid to test it because of the patchouli /o\ But everyone's reviews were so good!

(also, love that icon. The Fearsome Four were great)
