In the bottle: 'Hippie Shop'. Very patchouli. On skin: Like dry woods and patchouli and a hint of cinnamon and herbs. Very intense, very good throw and staying power. Definitely a warm, 'rustic' scent that would be awesome for fall! Not my typical scent but a 3.5/5 no less.

Holy cow! Lovely smelling, but the imp I have is amaretto-tastic. Smokey, barhouse amaretto, and lovely, but still super almondy. It makes me want a mixed drink. Lovely, but not for me.

Ok in the bottle this smells lovely, if not a little too floral for me...I like the herbs and citrus. On my skin it's great at first, dewy and fresh... and on the drydown I have to look around and see if someone invited an armada of 'grandmothers' over to play bridge. Overpoweringly old fashioned floral. There's a yellow flower in there going totally wonky on my skin. It gets worse and worse, acrid even. Eugh. SO disappointed:( 1/5

Pumpkin with benzoin, bourbon vanilla, lemon peel, neroli, blood orange, and red ginger. Ok I'm no foodie but...nom nom nom. Smells like a pumpkin roll to me. Buttery, spicy and pumpkin-licious. Sadly, I would never wear it but it'd be great in the burner and my husband looks hungry...mmm great scent. 3/5

Egh! Egh! Get it off! Rose and sage and orchid are ruining my coconut, lily, tonka experience! I hate how rose turns to acid on me! But seriously, I'm gagging when I breathe it in. Battery acid. EGH!

I love this in the vial, springtime and aquatic with some nice herbal tones. The scents fight a bit on my skin, I can't really say they meld super-great together but I like them nonetheless. A good summertime/relaxing/cheerful scent and one I will hold onto the imp of for when the mood hits. Might be fabulous in the oil burner. 3/5

Hello Baby Powder and Luv's Baby Soft! Sadly, reminds me too much of stuff I'd rather not smell like. I still love the description but the drydown on this is killer. It smells a whole lot like baby powder, not a bad thing, but not something I'd wear out and about really...2.5/5
-
It reminds me of something familiar but I'm not sure what, unfortunately it goes all powdery amber on me:( It also reminds my husband of Skin So Soft or "bugspray"... ACK. All I get is amber now...I'm missing the grass and mallow:( 1.5/5
-
Hmm...a little let down... In the imp it's wonderful, like a salty spray off the ocean...but on my skin it gets VERY intense and kicks my ass about for a few minutes with the water/ozone notes fist fighting for dominance. What I'm left with reminds me of dead sea salts and men's cologne. Not unpleasant, but I think I'd rather use this in the bathtub...or on the husband. Very sad another ozone bites the dust. Still my favorite note, but not this one...2/5 I am safe from bottle lust.

Wezwanie/Hold thirded...I get nutella off of that one. om nom nom. -
When it's on wet and fresh I love it, the cherry gives it a little zing in all of the floral...but dry it turns a bit bitter on me (the way roses do) and thankfully it doesn't soap up due to the lilies. Still lovely, but a bit bummed on the drydown and aging on me...meh...would be lovely in a scent locket...perfectly floral, love the drop of cherry...hate the bitter ending on me:( 2.5/5

Whatever it is, this smells like heaven to me (maybe because I'm a Cancer?). I think it's the chamomile though. Soft, slightly herbal, a little watery and calming and crisp. Soft and flowing. I LOVE this. Must have bottle! 5/5! Edit: Have a bottle now, absolutely love it. Perfect for summer wear...sooo soft with enough of an edge to it to be noticed but not to be cloying or overly perfumey. This is pure win!
-
In the imp it smells a little bad to me, almost a sharp sweet note, but on my skin I get pure warmed cider and smoke and trees and love it...however...it BURNS! Like...ow...when I put it on. Hasn't really stopped me, because it goes away in about 5-10 minutes, but it does hurt. I think it's destined for the oil diffuser, but I do love the fall/winter cidery scent very, very much. I give it a 3.5/5 only because it hurts, it'd get a 4.5 otherwise! Great scent, sadly skin irritating, would be excellent in the diffuser instead though.

First off...I LOVE this. Love love love. But...I don't get much of what's in the description! Roll-ups, mildewed raincoat, sweet tea, and condensed milk...yeah...sure...I get coconut, sand and a milky ocean wave. So...sometimes similar, but this almost smells a little like suntan lotion (very good suntan lotion) on me. I don't get much tobacco, I think what I do get is adding to the 'suntan' effect. Either way, I love it. It's not masculine AT ALL on me, it's light and sweetly creamy with a hint of the ocean. Weird, I know. In the vial it smells like sweet milk and tea, on my skin wet...it's all sweet coconut and ocean waves, and as it dries and mellows I get a faintly rolling sea of condensed milk with coconut notes. I don't care if there's no coconut in here! It smells like it on me, and I like it:P Anyway, 4.5/5...hello big bottle!

Oh ho ho, color me surprised. I love this! This totally reminds me of something I can't place from childhood. Sweet, oceanic, crisp and clean...this is a great aquatic! I think I'm going to give ambergris a chance. Not sure about as a perfume, but I might scent some shampoo with this bad boy. Interesting, nice throw and a ticklish combination! My nose is loving this! Sad Edit: Ok, the ambergris went wonky and this turned ugly FAST! *CRIES* 2/5
-
Hm...patchouli is not my friend, but the cloves are trying to convince it to chill out. Spicy and powdery, the myrrh is making it sweeter to my nose....but as it dries down I get spicy baby powder...and strangely a whiff of Deep Woods Off or something too. Ack. Not for me, off to swaps:( 2/5
-
Oh hai, Juicy Fruit! Wow! Not what I was expecting AT ALL! I love the oozy amber I'm getting, but then after that I've got delicious gum-fruits and a hint of powder. Now, that doesn't mean I dislike it! Strangely, I really, really like it! A LOT. Has my nose turned to the sweeter side of life??! As it dries, the Juicy Fruit fades away to a powdery amber with ripe fruit notes underneath. Not sure if it's bottle-worthy, but the imp will go to good use! 4/5
-
Sadly, too woody and musky on me. *Looks around for husband to dab with oil* I think this would be a more 'manly scent' if it reacts for him like it did for me. I'm getting a burned wood note to it almost. Like a herbal bonfire. Not for me, but either the husband might or off to find a loving home elsewhere:( 1/5
-
Ohhh...definitely surprised by this one. On me it smells similar to the Yankee Candle Co. Mackintosh Apple candle only with depth. I get an oaky note to it, and also a dewy note. Fresh, crisp, yummy...it surprises me I like it because it's fruity! It's not overly candied apple on me, which makes me like it more. I hate sickly sweet fruits. This imp will be shortly joining some unscented soap to become a body wash! Delicious for the shower, not something I'd wear as perfume, but great for refreshing, clean showers! 3.5/5
-
Oooh I like this...it reminds me of lemon zinger tea! Very hard to smell on me though:( I think this is a perfect lemon/aloe/tea blend and I think I'll need a bottle. Clean, lemon-y and I love the tea/aloe vibe too. Like I said, not great throw but I like the wafts of it I'm getting. I'll just have to apply more liberally. 4.5/5...this might be my new summer scent! <3
-
In the imp it seems light and flowy, a clean scent with the definite floral vibe. On my skin it's amping buttercup and honeysuckle and reminds me of a giant garden. It is a bit intense for wrist wearing, but I would love this behind the ears/neck/cleavage to get lovely floral wafts all day. Overall, a happy spring/summer scent and going in the keeper pile. No bottle for me, but the imp will be loved. It's a traditional "perfume" scent to me, but I really like it. I feel like I'm all pollen-covered and sunshine filled when I get a sniff. Lovely, clean and sweet. 3.5/5

I have never been more sad! I was dying to try this...and now I want it far, far away from me! In the vial it smells soft, floral and very clean and ozone. On my wrist, the floral is much stronger than the lightning and metal scent...and shortly into drydown a brain piercing, omgwtfbbq headache appeared. Ow. Ow ow. So disappointed, I wanted to love and horde this scent! *POUTS!* In all fairness, it does smell beautiful. Soft thrown, and I don't really know how long it lasts because I had to wash it off. So on that scale I give it a 4/5 But on wearability...and broken heartedness...2/5...*sigh* Off to the swaps with thee! *chokes back tears* I'm going to go love on The Torture Queen instead.

In the imp: whoa....dark... On my skin: *cough* *cough* Ugh. Very intense incense. I'm getting tonka and copal and also a headache. Dry: *washes off* Fail. 0/5
-
On first sniff I was like "UCK! What IS this?!?" I promptly threw it in the toss pile...but then I sniffed it again. In the imp I get more earthy/herbal/plantlife than fruit. On my skin, I get sweet, but not overly sweet blackberries and greenery. I don't like any 'berry' scents really, but this one is bearable. Not wearable on me, but I'm thinking about the oil diffuser. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a second chance. 2.75/5

Obatala and Black Pearl were coconutty on me.
