In the imp it's...nice, I can smell the olive blossom, the honey, and the vanilla, but there's no cinnamon. Unfortunately when I put it on it goes straight to olive oil. Straight headache inducing olive oil; drydown is the same but even more so. Apparently I amp olive...off to a friend it goes.

On my skin this goes straight to vetiver; no cherry, no honey, no vanilla. After about an hour, however, all those notes come out to play, and it's absolutely delicious. The clove makes it a bit warm, I'm guessing the honey and musk keep the clove mellow. I never get any wine, which is fine with me. This might be one of my favorite scents to layer, it can go so many ways depending on what I pair it with.

Very refreshing, mostly mint in the vial. Once on the grapefruit comes out (there's also a tingle if I apply it on my inner wrist or the crook of my elbow), but it plays beautifully with the mint. I would never have tried this on my own, but it's delicious.

All the positive reviews for this tempted me into this, and it's my surprise favorite of the Halloweenies. Rose is usually horrible on me, turning sour/soapy/fake. This has a sour phase in the bottle, but after it dries it's sweet warm cream and just enough rose to keep it fresh. ETA: It aged beautifully, the sour scent I detected in bottle has completely vanished and in the bottle it's cool fresh rose with an undertone of cream.

2008 version. I wanted to love it, but just like iinterstate, on me it's Vicks. Right after I put it on my husband walked by and said, "coming down with a cold?" If I put my nose right up to it, I can smell the apple underneath, but the throw--and it's huge on me--is Vicks. Maybe next year.

Regan was my first non-LE bottle purchase, and I love it. Wet and dry it's vanilla-honey and warm skin.

In the vial it's just resin, I almost didn't put it on, but I'm glad I did. When it dries it's sort of a creamy, vanilla almond with the faintest hint of cherry...all without ever actually smelling like food. ETA: I forgot to mention the downside: I'm fairly pale and it doesn't matter how little I apply, it leaves a pretty obvious stain, like most of the darker oils.

To me it's pretty much "many kinds of berry" Laffy Taffy in the vial. Wet at first there's a hint of salt water taffy and what might be a rock-candy scent, but both those fade fast on me and leave nothing but Laffy Taffy and a hint of clean cotton when it dries. I like it, but it's not quite what I was hoping for.
