Boo 2012 version In the bottle: I get a very sweet creamy fruity scent. Not citrusy at all, almost sickly sweet berries rather than sharp lemon. Wet on skin: Going on wet it starts to smell a lot more lemony, but sweet and creamy at the same time. As it dries it still smells quite fruity but the linen starts to come out. Dry: I haven't tried any of the previous years and nearly skipped it because I thought it might be too sickly, and I wasn't really crazy about the scent when it was wet. I really like linen scents though so decided to give it a try. Luckily the linen really comes out when it's dry and the fruitiness has gone. It is still quite sweet though so I would go quite easy on it in future because it has a lot of throw and the sweetness might be a bit overpowering. To me it smells like a blend of Antique Lace and Dirty. Very nice.

Grand Guignol is what I wanted March Hare to be like. Unfortunately for me, the apricot in MH disappears as soon as it hits my skin. Not so GG. It's fruity and sweet but not sickly. I'd say apricot schnaaps but it's a bit heavier than that, and the apricot definitely overpowers the booze on me. I love fruity scents and it makes me think of Bordello in that 'bad n boozy' type way. I need a big bottle of this pronto!

This is a real OMFG-I-must-get-more-of-this scent for me! I don't really get any of the florals at all. On me, it's all spicy sugary fruit soaked in booze. It's a very cozy comforting scent. This is exactly what I was hoping Samhain would be. I'd say I couldn't stop sniffing myself but I don't need to because it has an incredible throw and it's very long lasting.

Going on wet Snake Charmer smells like Snake Oil but with a slight herby or medicinal edge. On the dry down however and a few hours later, it smells like.. Snake Oil. I really couldn't tell the difference between the two and since I already have a bottle of Snake Oil will probably be swapping this. Was really hoping for more of the plum Incidentally, it seems to be as long lasting and have about the same throw as Snake Oil. I was just in the shop and this guy turned round and said to me "that's a really nice perfume". I was standing about 3 feet away from him! The first compliment I've ever received from a complete stranger. Hmm maybe I should keep it after all...

I got this as a freebie and tested it before reading the description... and was really surprised when I did because I didn't get any of the pear or florals! In the bottle and on wet it smells just like Bazooka bubblegum, but after a while it turns into a more herbal and soapy scent. About 2 hours after applying it it's virtually faded away.. but I really like it and would be buying a big bottle .. if i could get one!!

I fell in love with March Hare when I sniffed it in the vial, fruity scents are so me and it smelled of pure apricot. Sadly going on the apricot is overpowered by the clove completely. It still smells nice and I'll use up the rest of the imp but don't like it enough to buy a bottle.

I think B Never's Keep it Fluffy smells a lot like Antique Lace with a high alcohol content!

I really can't tell the difference between Chaste Moon and Leanan Sidhe on me - didn't get any similarity with Dana O'Shee myself.

I think the new Party On Temple Balm smells just like Envy.
