I love this one so much. It's gorgeous and innocently beautiful, a lavender Dorian with Snake Oil that doesn't turn plastic on my skin. So goddamn lovely. sigh. /inhales wrist
-
This is pretty...it's like chocolate and cedar shavings...fresh...slightly astringent. It reminds me of those truffles you get in the little foil gold wrappers...heady and rich yet with an dry, crumbly airiness.
-
This is nice. In the imp it's almost all almond, but applied it smells like cloves and spice and rum. Rather masculine too, I'd like to smell this on a guy.
-
This is incredibly gorgeous. Wet crisp apple and a smidgen of rose, with ylang ylang adding an airiness. Ethereal and so wistful, love and loss in a vial. I may have to get a bottle of this.
-
This is light and fresh. Definitely some lavender in there, and then salty floral aquatic on the drydown. If aquatics are your thing, try this one.
-
The best I can describe this one is a salty musk. The florals are not at all sweet. It's very exotic and slightly incense-y, and pretty, but not really my style.
-
I was really looking forward to trying this scent. I love lavender. That being said, this is exactly what pepto bismo smells like to me. Pass.
-
Pleasant spicey pumpkin with a hint of florals. This is pretty, but for me it doesn't stand out from the other pumpkin scents.
-
Pumpkin and cedar and tobacco, with the sage coming out more prominently after the drydown. This is a homey, comforting scent, a flannel shirt next to a roaring fire. I'm so glad I got to try it.
-
The notes in The Raven are very straightforward - violet, balsamy sandlewood, and a slight whiff of sour neroli peeking around the edges. It's somehow dark purple and mysterious and yet playful. Very evocative. I'm glad I have a bottle.
-
This is citrus and then rosewater, pretty but generic..and on the drydown there's something distinctly metallic. Darn, I thought I would like this one.
-
I'm getting mostly orris and sandlewood, with a wisp of fruity dragon's blood. It's okay, but I'd rather have MORE dragon's blood..I wonder if that note would become more prominent with age..
-
This smelled like florals mixed with suntan lotion. Very odd.
-
This is a light, powdery, indistinct floral. It's pretty but rather unremarkable on my wrist.
-
I don't know why I'm not getting hot leather, but rather something kind of minty. Blah.
-
This smells like a soapy, sandalwoody jasmine with lemon. I don't like it as much as I thought I was going to
-
Wow! This is incredibly fizzy. Just so genuinely fizzy, like a carbonated drink. There's a medley of fruits like grape....it smells like fruit punch.
-
I love this...it's like there was a gooey marshmallow stuck in a flower garden or a dandelion field..it's like sweet and yet grassy, sugary but with real greenery. A good balance of the two. Very pretty and evocative of a Plastic Pink Flamingo.
-
This one was mostly molasses wet, which was really pretty. But on the drydown I'm getting mostly sour fruity red currant from this one. There's some slight herby smell that is a contrast to the currant. Kind of weirdly metallic.
-
I don't think the lab's snow notes agree with my skin. This one turned to pure soap
-
Mostly lily, honeysuckle, with a bit of jasmine. This reminds me a lot of Tiger Lily.
-
This is lovely! Spices, citrus, honey, floral, blooming headiliy on my wrist...it reminds me a lot of The Hanging Gardens, which was love.
-
This is mainly rose on my skin, but there are some other wet florals that balance it out a bit. Smells like a flower garden.
