This smells so good!!! Almond (which sometimes turns on me, thankfully it's behaving in this scent), along with the honey and the pumpkin. Gorgeous and sexy and nom!

I ADORE this scent!! Every time I wear it people start getting hungry- LOL! I constantly get comments on how yummy this smells. The boysenberry syrup is really the kicker for this one, mixed with the utterly comforting scent of buttermilk pancakes!

This is a softly fruity scent that I adore! It's not a foody fruity- there's too many soft blossoms for that- but it's quite simply delicate and lovely. As others have said, this is a bright girly innocent happy scent!

This is a nice floral/berry scent, but where the heck did the pumpkin go? I'm a pumpkin lover and a fruity lover so I was really hoping for a mix of the two- but sadly the pumpkin (which usually agrees SO perfectly with my skin) decided to pack its bags and take a vacation for this scent. Sadness.

OMG I am SO GLAD I ordered a bottle of this from a forumite! Amazing!!!! Now I'm stoked that Seattle was one of the first 10 cities to get their pumpkin spice lattes a week earlier than everyone else because I simply MUST HAVE ONE now! Mmmm........

This was NOT a scent I expected to like (and I am a Pumpkin-a-holic!), but it's amazing! It's smoky and pumpkiny and just a little spicy. Lovely!

Neil Gaiman summed this one up.... "sexy vampire apples". My DD has claimed this scent as her signature scent (she is 14), and we share my single bottle lovingly.

 

This is another of my favorite scents, and on me it is warm spiced cider- much warmer and spicier than Creepy (another of my favorites).

This is the 2007 version. It's been one of my favorites for years, and is one of the very few faves that is not a foodie blend! This is also one of the few rose scents I love- and the rose does NOT amp on me (for once). It is light and airy and very, very lovely. This is one of those scents I tried and immediately stocked up on- and there have NOT been many of those! Beautiful and sweet and delicate!

Sigh... this turns into soapy cherry soda on me. Blah!!!! :going to scrub it off:

This is really, really nice until it dries down and the metallic takes over on me. I don't care for metallic scents so this is a no-go for me.

This is another scent that was very green and herbal on me- but for the very first time with a Lab scent, I actually like it! I don't adore it, but it is complimented nicely by the sweeter fruity strawberry. This is a scent I wear when I am in the mood for it, and not something I apply all the time.

I love how incredibly complicated this scent it! Supporting everything are big fat juicy ripe blueberries, with a slightly herbal and spicy spent next, topped off with just a little vanilla and ginger. Lovely, but definitely complicated, which is something I adore about the Lab's blends!

Mmmmm Eat Me is a regular scent for me, has been for years now- but for some reason I never reviewed it LOL! So here goes: This scent is a terribly delicious-smelling vanilla cake with just a shy hint of berry. So nom that it's a good thing the Lab put that disclaimer in! Oh num num num....

On my Velvet Unicorn turns very... vanilla and plastic. Blech. When first applied this was GORGEOUS, and I agree with other posters that it is reminiscent of Midway (which also turned to plastic on me). Bummer, this didn't work at all.

This was one of those RARE times when vetiver doesn't become the VETIVER OF DOOM on me. Unfortunately, this literally becomes a honey single note on me, which is nice but a LITTLE too overwhelmingly sweet and cloying.

Hm. Weird. This scent absolutely morphed from one strange unrecognizable scent to another through to the dry down. In the end, I get slightly fruity.... toothpaste? Not mint, but.... I dunno, something in this reminds me terribly of toothpaste! Can't handle it, it's gonna go. Ah well, I've never had any luck with the 13 blends so I suppose this was no big surprise.

Hm! This was a pleasant surprise! I usually abhor "green" scents, but this is one of those times I'm happy to follow my own advice- always try it at least once! This is QUITE nice- it's not green in an overwhelming scent, and it brought to mind pleasant hours spent trail riding in my childhood. Sun-warmed, lazy summer day greenery. I actually think I might love this scent! I'm setting it aside for further slathering- er- testing.

Hey! This isn't Snow White, is it? I swear it's similar, maybe Snow White with just a hint of vanilla? Interesting, but doesn't quite hold a candle to my Snow White!

Unfortunately, this scent turned to complete powder on me and I despise powder. So.... not for me!

Hm this is pleasant! Sweet and sticky honey with some nice florals in the background. Not my style, but it IS a very nice scent!

Blech. First of all, I don't usually care for rose scents (with a few rare exceptions) but I'm always willing to try them anyhow. Second of all, I tend to AMP rose- and I mean AMP across the room! That was exactly the case here. I couldn't get anything other than rose (maybe it's some sort of personal hangup), so this one goes right out the door.

Hm, again I thought I would love this scent but really it was ho-hum. Boozy and rummy and sugary, it's quite pleasant but I think I may be getting jaded. I have a handful of scents I ADORE and so it really does take something REALLY special to catch my attention nowadays. This one can go.

Bummer. This is another cinnamon scent that I have a bad physical reaction to (red welts anyone?). I guess I'm not too heart broken because my ultimate favorite "Mexican Hot Chocolate" scent is still El Dia De Los Reyes, but still this was nice.

All the reviews and recommendations I've read pointed me in the direction of loving Banshee Beat, and I am absolutely in complete and utter love with it! Vanilla and patchouli, two of my favorite scents, blended so perfectly together!! Lovely, just lovely! :huff huff:

 

eta: Later today I kept getting a whiff of something familiar, and I kept thinking... I didn't wear Goblin today, I wore Banshee Beat! Strangely enough, this settled down to something VERY similar to Goblin! Considering the rareness of Banshee Beat, I think I'll stick to Goblin instead!
