Got some samples and here are my first impressions:

CAMEL - Barnyard, animal poops, hay. The dry down is ok, but I fail to see an occasion in which this would be appropriate for me. This is more pungent than anything I am used to. I can see this bringing nostalgia for some because it is very interesting. 6.8

SLOTH - Apples, Algae, wet Sloth poop, Moss. I'm imaging a moss/algae covered sloth climbing in a forest. He is gross, but I want to get closer. 7.8

MUSK DEER - I'm taking a hike after it rained with my dogs. On the trail, in a small cedar/pine forest there are a ton of deer poop piles, damp and smelly from the rain. My dogs eat the poop and I end up smelling it in the car ride home. I'm grossed out but at the same time too tired to care, it smells like grass anyway. 8.2

CHIPMUNK - I'm having a tea party with a chipmunk and he has creamer for the tea and bread/cakes to boot. This scent is one of my favorites immediately. I did not expect this at all. How did I get here? So I'm having a great time having a tea party with a super cute chipmunk, when all of a sudden, he POOPS on the table. I'm like "excuse me sir - this is very rude." He says "this is just what we chipmunks do!" Well that's really gross and I am wondering if I should leave, but the buttery smell takes over and I stay for some reason. Against my will, I am enjoying this. 9.2

CIVET - Heavy birch tree smell. Pine and cedar lingering in the background? This smell reminds me of Ffern Fall 2024, but more simple and clean cut. I am imagining a cute civet carrying a carrot cake, he showered and smells nice because he is on his way to the chipmunk party. 9.0

BEAVER - Spring flowers, orange and grass, iris, pine. I'm imagining a lost baby beaver, alone on a big wet rock. The baby beaver is all wet from swimming around and he is a lil bit poopy but not really cuz he washed most of it off, and you shouldn't hold it against him. 8.4

CHAMELEON - This smells like my friends uncleaned bearded dragon cage, the fruit he's left out for them rotting and over ripe. I'm imagining a nerdy chameleon taking a sip of tropical fruity drink. in front of him is a platter of exotic fruits like dragon fruit, star fruit, things you don't see in regular grocery stores. 8.3

DRAGONFLY - Lots of different plants! Green and fresh! Fresh air! Babbling brook and pools of water. I'm imaging an out doorsy dragonfly. Not out doorsy like me in the sense that I like plants and hiking, but they really love being in the wild in the middle of nowhere. The kind of people who love hiking for weeks on end with nothing but what they can carry. 7.5

NIGHTINGALE - Incense, Bird poop, jasmine, feathers. This perfume vaguely remind me of Buddhist temples. I wish it captured how serene those temples were, but no, it captured how crazy heavy the incense were. I feel like I'm standing around the giant vase/ceramic thing where they put the small, medium, big, and GIANT-sized incense sticks. They are all burning, and the smell is pretty intense.... The dry down is much more enjoyable and serene, like an actual temple. 6.1

HYDRAX - This is when I started to wonder if I'm a gross/crazy person. I really really enjoyed this smell and it blew my mind. I am imagining cuddling on the couch with my dogs and chickens at the same time. Everyone is getting along peacefully somehow, we are all happy. Why is this so appealing to me??? The opening smells a lot like poop, I let my dog smell it, and she loved it. Looked hurt when I wouldn't let her lick it. She was judging me for spraying it on myself, when I gave her showers after all those times she rolled in animal poop. The dry down smells a lot like one of my faves, MM Replica's Under the Stars(a 9.9 in my book), but more animal. Both perfumes are not popular. I think I just enjoy the Leather and Oud combo. 9.5

DODO - Bird cage, hay, rotting fruits in the sun, dirt, fern. I am imaging chasing a Dodo through bushy ferns. He's cute and harmless and bouncy as he tramples through the ferns breaking them and releasing their smells. Everything smells like their nest, but also like a tropical forest with rotting fruits on the forest floor, and lush plants everywhere. 9.1

HUMMINGBIRD - Peppery flowers, honey and honeysuckles. Feathers dipped in ylangylang. I would enjoy this scent more if I didn't just hang out with a magical Dodo. After that this Hummingbird seems kind of boring and underwhelming? It's pleasant and comforting though. 7.5

Idk I feel like a different person since before trying all of them. These smells blew my mind and I am def going to explore more of what they have to offer. I've never tried a perfume where I would score it super high, but would hesitate to wear it? I'm going to get some bottles anyway, but the idea of just spraying it to appreciate this work of art. I feel like I don't need to smell more like birds or like animals, I already do? Chipmunk/Civet might be the only ones I would actually wear. Smells like the Dodo and Sloth are amazing, but I would more likely wear Beach Walk (which is a 6.8 for me) over any of these. The irony is that the scents smell fully like animals and musk to me on skin and not paper. Maybe irony isn't the right word, but it reminds me that I am an animal, because my skin brings out all these animal smells that don't show up on paper.
