This one reminds me a lot of those sour smarties you get in the little roll up plastics. It's okay, but too bright and cheery and candyish...if Stinky was a color, it'd be neon or perhaps bright yellow. I was expecting it to smell like baby's skin, but it doesn't particularily smell like that...baby skin is softer, more neutral than this guy..Stinky has an almost fruity quality.

Wooo, I can smell the aloe. Clean, the good kind of linen, soapy. I agree with the person who said it smells like baby shampoo. And for some reason I'm associating it with Sea of Glass even though I'm sure they couldn't have been that similar.

I get amber + pleasant spices + cinnamon + patchouli from this one, but it doesn't go rampant in Jacquel, thankfully, as patchouli is prone to do on my skin. Comfortable and indistinguishable.

Whoa, this is definately lime and vanilla and something astringent which I believe is the alcohol. It's kind of..strange. Not unpleasant, exactly, but for some reason the combination irks my nose.

This one is almonds and apple blossoms and something vaguely sweet and powdery. Slightly incense-y maybe, but that's tempered by the other notes. Pretty!

Wet, this was all nail polish. Thankfully when dry it went to woody booze and sweet bonfire smoke. (I agree with the above poster lol)

Headshop with cookies.

Sharp, green, gingery, and decidedly masculine.

Reminds me a bit of Wicked. Sharp, slightly powdery, generic rose. It's not unpleasant, and the lab does do better rose notes than anyone else, but still.

Seriously, I can't get a read on this scent. Zero throw!! Even huffing and puffing less than a centimeter next to my wrist isn't doing squat. That might be sweet neroli, but then again I can't be certain..

Sharp herbs, menthol, pungent. Refreshing. Can't pinpoint why it's so appealing. Drydown is quite similar to the way Yggdrasil turns out on my skin.

It might be my horrid nose, but what about those cinnamon scents? This is Bengal without the skin musk.

It's hard for me to identify ozone and rain scents, they all smell like fresh laundry. The Stormhold is a cool, soft, soapy, lilac-y kind of laundry. And yet it is reminiscent of the icy Stormhold, of rain, of the coolness and slight chill, retains a sort of slickness. Something to wear on a grey, rainy day.

Wow, butterscotch candies! This is lovely and sooo foody. And has great throw.

R'lyeh = Slightly warmer, sweeter Stormhold without the vetiver.

Deep in Earth is similar to Zombi, but not quite as sour and wet. The rose geranium gives it a sweet, spicy, floral quality. Zombi is more wet moss + dirt and Deep in Earth is more flowers in dirt. Really pretty.

This isn't spicy at all on me...yes, it's a pink scent, in both the oil color and what it is evocative of....but it's a cool smelling pink, a dusky purple pink, lilac and something floral in there...slightly heady....satiated with sweetness.

The carnation lends a sharpness and the plum gives a slightly woody (for some reason I associate this with rice flower lol) sweetness. The musk kind of intertwines the two in the background. This scent is so pretty and feminine, I'd wear it when I want my day to feel exotic and oriental.

Whoa, this smells exactly like dirt and roses. It's amazing what the Lab can do! I can't get over the dirt note. It's just so...different. Not pleasant or unpleasant. Just clean dirt, wet after a rain, with roses. I mean, I don't have anything against dirt but I don't go around with my nose stuck in it either. Right on application it was like a host of the undead were walking around...but now the dirt note has faded into clean, nearly indiscernable sun baked earth, and the roses got sweeter and slight more powdery. Smells kinda like a garden! The whole concept of this blows my mind! How incredibly awesome. I hated the dirt note in Nosferatu but this one just works.

This is lovely, so light and green. Fresh tea with a squirt of lemon and a dollop of honey. This is actually incredibly similar to Embalming Fluid except no musk, and I like Shanghai better. The only problem is it has no throw whatsoever. sigh.

Almost all rose on my skin. The narcissus doesn't do much except sharpen the overall green feel of the scent.

Cool, yet sharp. Smells like sour linen from hell on me.

Sharp at first, but now it's calming down and going to...kumquat? Is that the sweetness lurking in the background? Juicy and slight crisp, flowers and citrus of equal proportion.

Fresh, watery, cool. Apple blossoms and what must be the hyacinth (reminds me of lilac). Floral/leaves/apples/breeze without being over the top or excessive in any way. Gorgeous.

Wow, this DOES smell like those cinnamon altoids. That's creepy. It's actually quite a good scent, but I'm getting more ginger + cinnamon here than actual gingerbread. Gingerbread Poppet has something moist and cakey about it but Shub is all dry ginger and spicy powders. I really do like it though.
