Niki on Oct 06, 2017
First impression? This is probably going to be my favorite pumpkin. It's got a definite yummy pumpkin aspect, but no spice. I'm getting their lovely sugar note; the more I see of their sugar, the more I love it. The resins add the absolute perfect balance. It's smoky and I definitely smell the copal and oudh.

This is totally different from Vampire Vanilla Bat, if anyone was concerned. I am definitely getting the bourbon vanilla,and the tea is mild but definitely there. In my experience with these types from NA the tea will be stronger over time, and play more of a role, and this is only the second day quick impression. The pepper is a lovely supporting note to the vanillas and I can tell there's a woody note here. I'm going to adore this, and I'm glad I went for this one too.I am definitely getting the bourbon vanilla,and the tea is mild but definitely there.

This could be one of the most beautiful vanilla, and haunting patchouli perfumes I own. I absolutely love all the patchouli perfumes NA offers because there is no other like it on Earth. It is perfect for the season and for anytime you want to be reminded of the awesomeness of Halloween season. Let's be honest, that's all year 'round! If you love vanilla and patchouli, you cannot miss this. I have all the versions before this 2017 one, and they all have gotten even better with age, if that's even possible! This lasts on me, and I think I need a few backups. :)

Quick Archivist Note!
Hi and welcome to the Nocturne Alchemy and VApothecary Limited Collection notes and reviews site! I know that currently the site looks a little generic, as I just picked out a basic template, but I will get it looking a little more spiffy as time permits. So forgive the first appearance! I will probably be changing the formatting as I think of things that might be helpful for everyone to have available when looking for information and reviews. I'll be adding tags and labels for every collection, and the dates it was available, as I can find. Some LCs were originally released, obviously, before I started this, and so the best source for that is Laura's amazing LiveJournal, Salixnoir. I'll be pulling the dates from that and her NAVA Wikia when there are Resurgence, so that things are a little cohesive.
As I am still an on again, off again, fan reviewer as well, if I have reviewed perfumes or collections as a whole, I'll be posting the link to my reviews on the bottom of each collection entry, rather than inserting them into these notes, because I tend to get a little too wordy.
For right now, if you haven't submitted a review to the NA website (which I need to put a link to in my sidebar, so that's forthcoming as well, as well as a link to Laura's journal and the Wikia, as those might prove helpful), and you'd like to, or if you have a review that you'd like to have posted and the LC collection has come down, you can always comment on the post that your review pertains to. So if you have a review for one of the Dinos, you can leave a comment on the Prehistoria entry! I'll eventually need to add an email form to the site too so you have another alternative for submitting reviews.
And if you have any requests as far as formatting, things you'd like to see here, I'm very open to suggestions! I just thought of another helpful page, I can set up one for nicknames and acronyms, as that might be something people want to contribute to as well.
This page is associated with my blog/review site, Zombiiesque.com. I am not paid to maintain it, I simply do this as a fan, and with the blessings of the NAVA crew.

Wet on skin, it's a gorgeous smooth and rich amber, very resinous. It feels ancient, mysterious and deep. I haven't tried other Dinos, but I'd guess this is the base they all have in common. Once it dries, the myrrh shows up. It's powdery in a good way, and it's light and sweet. It seems to be floating on top of the richer amber. Both main groups of notes (the ambers and the myrrhs) take turns on the spotlight, but neither of them ever overpowers the other, you can always detect the "background" note lurking about. It has good throw (but not so much that you'll overwhelm people around you with your perfume) and lasting power .
Mine has aged for about a year, and it has become more interesting than when I first received it. There are little bits of resin floating in the bottom of my vial, and not only does it look really pretty when you mix it, it also makes the scent deeper and richer.

OH WOW! This is a GORGEOUS smokey copal. I'm going to compare it to the ICONS III Copal as a point of reference. It is different than the ICONS III Copal, Which of course they would be, ICONS III Copal is a sweeter fabulous pure deep woody oudh copal and Dino's have the amazing Dino limestone amber base. With Cam I do get the bright frankincense and ambers up front initially while wet, but as it dries down it really deepens and the copal blooms. I love the blend of copal in Cam. I totally get there is more than one type of copal in this blend. I think the Dino amber base really makes the copal shine. I just put some on again, but yesterday I really noticed how smokey it got as it dried down, not an acrid smoke, but an enchanting cloud. I definitely get the smoldering embers too, kind of like Ember Vanilla has at it's core. OOHH! Yes, this would be beautiful layered with your favorite SL Vanilla. However, I think I may be a purist with when it comes to Cam. It's just so perfect to me. Copal is one of my favorite notes and I rarely see it used in scents so I was ecstatic when I saw the notes for the first time. Cam is definitely a euphoria inducing, spiritual perfume for me. Seriously though, if you like copal definitely give this one a try. Hmm, Do I have enough of this?! I also want to add that it did have great silage and staying power. I put it on my wrist and I kept getting puffs of gorgeous copal hours after I applied it and even through testing a few other perfumes.
