The bloom on this is wild!! You get a strong ginger and jasmine right off the bat then mellows to a lovely rose and rosemary smell. Scent lasts for a while too before I need to reapply. Doesn’t take much, one roll on each wrist or a dab behind the ears is enough.

Love the name, and the colour works well for me.

a nice pink! it's really sparkly and pretty in the sunlight!!

this was my first experience with trying perfumes, and it was a great way for me to figure out what I like! the card with the descriptions was a really good addition, and the little vials are so nice!! found out what I apparently don't like, but also found out what I do really like!! definitely wanna get more!!!

I've really enjoyed the Mystery Case so far. It worked out really well

Hobgoblin - SO cosy and welcoming. Smells like caramel and baking

Gift of mercy - I imagine a witch mixing a brew, surrounded by smoke and mist

Little Thousand - Really brings to mind a little rabbit family huddled together, or hopping through a field. Really cosy in a fresh, outdoorsy way

Lost in the Wood - not really for me, but it does bring to mind moss and pine trees

Queen of Elphame - I love! Smells just like palma violets to me

This smells absolutely fantastic, and I'm so pleased with this and the discovery flight I received a wee while back too. The scents last for ages on my skin, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you!

I thought I didn't like this one at first, then it grew and grew on me. Pretty soon I was applying the sample every day and huffing my clothes when they had a residual whiff of it, so here I am writing a review and buying a full-sized bottle.

This is like rural autumn in a bottle, and I don't mean autumn like a pumpkin-spiced candle; I mean autumn like the sweetness in the air as the nights get longer and the grass goes dry, with a soft, shyly herbal, muskily woody dry-down that feels like sunset in october. Less poetically, I can say that on me, the spiced honey dominates for the first half hour before it all settles into a warm, sweet, dry, subtly floral scent. The peat fire and the thyme are barely discernable in the background, and it's so well-blended that it's hard to pick out the notes individually, it just smells... unique, cosy, a little bit wild, like a dormouse's nest or a deer peeking at you from between the trees. The notes don't really do justice to the scent, so if you're at all curious, or are looking for a signature autumn scent, I would give it a go and just see how it settles on your skin.

I can’t remember who told me about Crow and Pebble, but I’m really glad they did. I am a massive perfume fan but I’m not very keen on the perfumes sold in department stores. (Not to decry them, just not my scene.) I tend to wear niche fragrances such as Diptyque and Etat Libre d’Orange, or vintage fragrances with more character to them, like Habanita and Vol de Nuit.
The sampler was a way for me to try a number of Crow and Pebble fragrances, which is great because they’re unusual and exciting. I know I like particular notes, such as geranium, carnation, elemi, incense and sandalwood, and the fragrance descriptor was really helpful in picking out fragrances I might like. I have now had 3 samplers! I’ve fallen in love with at least 4 fragrances (so far) and I always have a couple of the tiny sample vials in my handbag. Important point to note - the vials are really excellent! There’s a little seal on the top plus there’s a screw top as well, so no leaks!

A strong scent with a nice smell of smoke and pine trees. I really love wearing this one. It reminds me of taking a long walk in the woods in late octobre.

This scent starts of really sweet, but settles into a beautiful smell of fresh laundry and incense. Very light and perfect for daily wear.

the perfect shade somewhere between pink, purple and red. the shadow is soft, pigmented but still buildable, and easy to blend!! for me it works great as a “i’m tired but make it hot” one and done shade, but it works beautifully with other shadows as well :)

Choose Your Own Sampler Flight

I originally bought the sampler set to test a few fragrances I had my eyes on, and this was one that I was excited for. When opened, I was very intrigued because it was very different from the other scents and almost exactly as described. When I put it on, I was a little nervous because it opened very masculine and strong, but eventually it mellowed out to a lovely leathery warm scent that reminded me very distinctly like a clean and warm barn with freshly stacked hay. Describing something as smelling like a barn may make it sound like an insult, but it smelled like a barn from a Pinterest board, very magical and warm with no smell too much or overpowering. It was such a unique and creative scent I’m definitely wearing all the time in fall!

This perfume is the perfect understated sexy scent. Sexy in a warm, dark, subtle, cuddly way, that lingers close to your skin. I held off trying this for a while, because I wondered if all the leather, tobacco and black musk would make it a little aftershave-y, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The mild hint of honey and roses, and an incisive little tangerine note, lift and soften it, and far from being harsh, it is rounded, inviting and sweet, in the most balanced and adult of ways. I can't stop nuzzling my wrist. I can't wait for other people to nuzzle my neck. I don't personally detect an incense note, which shows how differently these scents can play with our individual body chemistry; but I do get this delicious darkness from the black musk, the tea and the leather. This one will be FSing before I even finish the sample, I think.
