Red musk! This really smells like the lab's red musk note to me! The peach starts to bloom a bit later. I am really liking this one! Need to try this one again!

On the skin: Mmmmmm! Apple, strawberry, and a sweet floral. This smells yummy! There is a bit of a sourness as well. Is that a granny smith apple? Maybe it's a floral note turning slightly sour? Not really sure. Oh! That must be the pomegranate! After a bit, I can't really distinguish between the notes at all. It is just sweet with a slight hint of sour. Makes me think of those candies with the sour outside and the sweet inside! I don't think this one is for me at all, but it was definitely an experience to smell!

On the skin: An herbal, lavender scent. Misery is green? This definitely feels like a green scent to me. After a bit, this takes even more of an herbal turn. Kind of reminds me of this soap I used to have. It's actually kind of pleasant for an herbal scent. A bit later, the sharp greenness fades and this scent just smells.... pretty! I'd say that is some lovely lilac! This one is quite a morpher, but not for me.

In the bottle: This one smells very white/clean. Like a white tea plus lavender. That's all I can smell as far as I can tell!

This is a bubblegum honeydew. I wish I had a gum that tasted like this smells!! Very sweet and kind of candy-like. This becomes a little... effervescent after a bit and loses the candy feel. It must be the green musk. Very interesting. It actually makes me think of a honeydew plant more than candy now. Still sweet though. I don't think it's for me, but it is interesting.

Definitely a lovely scent. I get loads of grapefruit with a bit of sweet florals and another sweetness underneath (vanilla?). This is a fruity/tart grapefruit that really stands out! Really, the grapefruit takes over the entire blend. Tart fruit with tiny hints of sweet florals. Not for me, but definitely an interesting blend.

Smells like those banana runts candy! Not banana exactly, but more the dusty candy sweetness. Definitely the pear. And the vanilla. This one is very sweet and might just be too candy sweet for me.

Very peppery spice. Is there no pepper in the notes list? Smells just kind like burnt spicy pepper. Definitely not for me.

A beautiful sweet rose. I really like this one! I can't believe how the rose scents this Lupercalia are such a hit for me! This scent is pretty much a beautiful, sweet blend. A tiny bit soapy, but still very beautiful.

A musky slightly herbal hay scent. Huh. This one is very interesting. It reminds me of something... It's a slight cool scent as well. Perfect for spring and summer. Might need to hunt down a partial bottle.

Smells almost exactly like snow angel, only with the cool mentholish note. After a bit, I lose the snow angel sweetness. This one just isn't for me.

This one smells dirty. Sickly sweet and dirty. Is that the tobacco? It actually makes me feel a little sick. This one is not for me. Not at all. I feel like this one is similar to Banned in Boston.

Hmmm. This one is not so good on me. Is there no vetiver and patchouli in this one? I am really getting a lot of dirtiness. That is actually pretty much all I smell.

Definitely getting the cypress wood note. Also a bit of the violet. Not for me though. It's too... Green?

Profoundly sensual. The echo of caresses: raw black coconut, ambergris accord, ambrette seed, champaca flower, and sugar cane. That is some sweet coconut! Thankfully it doesn't turn to suntan lotion! I don't normally like the taste or smell of coconut, but I feel like this one would be so yummy!! This is a very light scent and I'm actually liking it! Again, not really one for coconut, but I like how it is sweet and light. I think I still prefer Paper Kite though when it comes to coconut scents.

My first thought smelling this was.... gingerbread? Well, gingerbread that is heavy on the bread and light on the ginger. After a bit, I smell burnt sugar and almond? Huh. I'm afraid this is one of those slightly foody scents that really does not agree with me.

On the skin: Wow, this scent is very ethereal. It is slightly musky with a sharp green/herbal note and a hint of rose, but the entire scent is really hard for me to smell up close. I really have to let it waft in order to smell anything. Interesting, but not for me.

A very green/floral garden scent. I was hoping for a bit more of the stargazer lily, but I guess I have l'inverno for that. (L'inverno is definitely my favorite stargazer lily scent!) Very pretty, but not for me!

This one starts off kinda sour. Grapefruit? A musky grapefruit. If this were a drink, I would love it! Not quite right for my skin though.

This is definitely a lovely rose! One of the best rose scents I have ever smelled! It's beautiful without being headachy. I may need to acquire a bottle of this. This isn't quite what I would think of as a true to life rose. It is definitely more of a perfume rose since it is missing that slight hint of greenness that I associate with roses straight from the garden

This one is good! Definitely getting both honey and the sweetness of tobacco. The leather really smooths this one out. Oh, no. The tobacco is starting to take over and smells a little like burnt cigarettes. And then it goes away? Huh. I think I like this one!

On first smell, I get lots of vanilla with a buttery feel. After a bit, the vanilla backs off a bit. I get more honey and a floral hint. I really miss that initial blast of vanilla. I'll need to try this one again.

Very spicy! Reminds me of the Old Demons scent. Has a hint of sassafras? Might be the red musk actually. I get them confused sometimes since they smell quite similar to me! The cassis in this one is way too strong for me. It's a very woody cinnamon type smell. It's not for me.

Candied apricot and orange blossom honey with grandiflorum jasmine, orris C02, tonka, patchouli, quince, and skin musk. Sweet! Definitely smelling apricot! I get mostly sweet apricot, but there is also a hint of something else. A floral? Kind of a light scent. -ETA- This one is pleasant, but it isn't for me. It's just missing the depth that my favorites have.

This one is sweet! Reminds me of sweet tarts with a tiny herbal hint. After a bit, the sweet powder vibe backs off a little. Now I am really getting the peach, amber, and still a bit of bergamot. I think I'll keep my decant, but this one isn't amazing enough on my skin for a bottle purchase.
