Wet, I get a soft, cheerful fruity scent with florals wafting around it. Literally! One second I turn and it's jasmine, then it's softer...A few minutes later the fruit/floral faded and it went to a very nebulous, soft scent that couldn't seem to decide if it was green or aquatic. Now it's an hour later and oddly, it's faded again to something like a gently fruity Milk Moon! Sorry if that's not a lot of help! I like it, but it's not a top ten.

I was sick over the weekend, and had been sleeping poorly/sleeping during the day. I've always been a poor sleeper anyway, but by last night I was exhausted. I had never tried Nocturne before, so I took it out to give it a try before bed. I annointed myself as in the description, read until I was sleepy, and went to bed. I didn't sleep soundly through the whole night - I still woke up a couple of times- but here's the thing: when I got up at my alarm, I was as refreshed as if I'd just finished a week of vacation! My mind is clear, my body feels much better, and my heart is lighter!! Amaaaazing!!! Good stuff, this. Think I need a bottle!!

Three honeys blended with seven fruits, flowers, and herbs of passion, pleasure, and joy: honeysuckle, fig, carnation, apricot, jasmine, tonka, and almond. I love the lab's honey scents. I love Honey Moon, though the thyme tends to last too long after the honey fades, and I want to wash it off. That said, I LOVE Hony Mone!! I get all honey/jasmine/honeysuckle, and though I don't really pick it out, I also have a weakness for scents that have apricot in them. On me, Hony Mone doesn't morph much, and lasts fairly long. Sweet, warm, rich honey/floral without being cloying. Yum!!

I didn't really care for this in the bottle: it was kind of thick with tobacco & amber, so it took me a while to try it, but.... I am so in love with this scent!! It is absolutely delicious on! The tobacco remains evident, but I get the amber and caramel more strongly. Just wonderful. The kind of scent that, when you catch a slight whiff hours later, it just brings a sigh of contentment.

I love Siren. I got it as a frimp in a swap, don't remember with who, but bless you, whoever you were!!! I should say up front that I'm one of those who generally runs screaming from jasmine, so I was shocked that it's in here. But I love it!! I think the jasmine smoothes the edges of the ginger, and the apricot and vanilla fill it out. It's a lovely, round, sweet/sharp scent. I agree with someone who posted a few pages back - I think it ages into the scent I prefer. The bottle that I ordered was VERY jasmine-y! Oh well, I have 2 imps for the meantime...

Definitely softer, sweeter than I'd imagined. But I love it! I get a sort of undertone of dragon's blood, but there are sweet & green notes that come more to the fore. I guess it's the cherry blossom, but overall, really a lovely scent. I love it now (winter!), but I can definitely see it as a springtime scent.

I got a frimp of Fruitcake in my Stock-Up-On-Midway-Resurrected order, and I was really excited. It smells really good in the bottle - I get a lot of the dark cakey scent. On, I get cherries, apples, almonds, cake, spice...but on me it goes straight to Yankee-Candle-Store-At-Christmas. Nope. Can't wear this. On my daughter, though, it's lovely and light and almost Beaver Moon-ish!!

On me, this goes on absolutely gorgeous! Its chocolate and coffee! MMmmmmmm. Then the chocolate note fades (relatively quickly), and it gets cinnamon-y. Then it mellows altogether, and I wind up with a scent that, oddly, reminds me of Milk Moon, with a hint of something else. The brown sugar? Not sure. The start is so delicious I know I'll wear this again, though it doesn't last very long!

At first I get a lovely bright peach, but almost immediately it morphs into bright, high floral. Probably not one that I'll wear often, though my daughter likes it! Off you go!

When I put this on this morning, it smelled slightly floral in the imp. Immediately after I put it on, I got a whiff of powder that quickly turned aftershavey. It's settled into something spicy/herbal, probably the patchouli/musk and just a hint of lavender. Oddly (to date myself) it's reminiscent of a perfume I wore in my disco days! Which is not really a good thing. I don't have to go wash it off, but I'm not loving it.

I love this one! The lab does some phenomenal roses, but tea rose has always been my favorite. This one nails it! Just super! Not overpowering, not cloying, just rosey-rose-rose!!

... The essence of overweening pride and unearthly angelic beauty. A regal scent, glowing darkly, elegant and patrician, but unfathomably desolate. Cherubic white sandalwood and golden musk with a dark halo of amber, a breath of imperial florals, unbending woods, and the shadow cast by vetiver and violet. Got this as a frimp in my last order, and I like it alot! At first the amber and the sandalwood are dominant, with a subtle floral note. After a few minutes, the sandalwood dims a bit and the violet note comes to the fore. I'm amazed because violet is one of my major dislikes, but here, it's fabulous!! Lovely! Soft, warm, full, and sweet. When I want to wear a sweetie, it'll be this one!

In the bottle, this is the most gorgeous lavender scent ever!! Unfortunately, after a few minutes the lavender becomes very muted and a gently spicy sweetness takes over. If only the lavender stayed more prominent!! I love it, but maybe it'll stay better in a locket....

Mmmm, honey! It's sweet, but deep. After a few minutes I get a lovely floral, but can't figure out what it is. *checks description* I think it's the gardenia, 'cos I'm not fond of jasmine, and I like this a lot. After about half an hour, I start to get a spiciness, and, yup - it's the thyme! Really wonderful, though for me it's probably too sweet to put in regular rotation. A keeper, though!

First applied, this smells like pumpkin and dark vanilla. Very vanilla-y. After a few minutes, it gets citrus-y. First the neroli comes out, and it's sort of creamsicle with pumpkin undertones. Then it goes lemony. I like it a lot, but it's not my favorite Pumpkin. It's a bright, sunshiny, summertime Pumpkin.

I just tried this one this morning, and it's amazing! At first, when I put it on, I got an almost burnt-cake scent. Maybe darkest caramel? Then after a minute, it became chocolate cake! Lovely! It morhed a bit and was figgy, the chocolate cake fading, then a clear, dark fruit note came through - pomegranate! Finally, now, about a half hour later, it's pumpkin-y, with just a hint of caramel in the background. I don't normally like foodies, but I've always wanted to try the Pumpkins, and I love this one!

I get deep, rich, wonderful cherry goodness over the creamy vanilla. So glorious!!! The cherry is the primary note for the first hour or two, slowly fading until it's mostly vanilla. My skin loves this! I'll be wearing it a lot!
