Sorrow - this smells like laundry detergent on me I tried washing it off, since it went immediately faint, scrubbing my wrists with Dr. Bronners, and the applied Faiza, The Black Mamba over it, and I STILL had to add a scented hand lotion. This POTENT, I just wish it worked on me.

This is SO involved, SO complex. Regretfully, the coconut keeps popping out (which I don't like grrrr) but there are enough flowers and spices dancing around with cymbals and drums and rattles and bright colors and singing and sequins that the coconut can be mostly ignored. It's a very *fun* scent, just not me.
-
This is quite lemony, without the Lemon Fresh PineSol pain of some others. The musk really helps dampen the citrus so that even though it's quite clearly LEMONS, it's not puckering.
-
I want to say watery, but there's nothing weak or anemic about this. Rather, it's aquatic, with a snap that is presumably the lemon. As a Cancer Rising, I feel quite content in wearing this
-
In the bottle, floral, fresh on skin skin it smelled like fruit rotting on the vine and bad breath. It did change fairly quickly to a fruity scent. Towards lunchtime, it developed a disagreeably thin shrill note.
-
This is lovely. It's bubbly and charming, flirty and bright. It's Pierce Brosnan's James Bond offering Jinx a mojito. It's Tuesday of a week-long resort holiday around 4pm when you know you've got days and nights ahead of you, and someone new and fascinating to spend them with. It's mildly floral, and then woody, with bubbles, with the florals changing to lightly musky woods.
-
This is a very woody masculine scent, snappish and biting. There is nothing soft of this scent, it's dirty and rough. Yum
-
This is eye-wateringly piercing. Any second now, my nose will explode and start running, this is so sharp. I can see why this is a Magick oil, it's incredibly potent and focused. Phew! Not for every day wear, good lord! This eventually (and suddenly) breaks down to Listerine and sandalwood, then is solely sandalwood. I think this burned my sinuses, I was sensitive for a few days to scents.
-
This is a fresh, clean, charming, light scent, and I quite like it. However, it's so exactly NOT me that I can't see myself wearing it again.
-
There's something in here besides roses. Both in the bottle and fresh on skin, this was incomparable roses - the PERFECT lush rose scent. Almost immediately, it soured, turned into something biting and sharp and sour. That faded, fortunately very quickly, into something that smelled merely grumpy, and then everything faded. However, I keep smelling swirls of rose around me, even though the scent is so light on my wrist as to be negligible. I keep getting wafts of dowager perfume. Argh.

Oh, this is delightful! While being floral and fruity, it's not cloying or painfully sweet. It makes me feel quite arch, and mildly wicked, like I am getting ready to spend a weekend having clever intellectual conversation with references to obscure BritComs while drinking champagne on a warm porch with old friends. This scent makes me feel very GOOD about being me, and looking in the mirror after applying it I have a decided Glint in my eye. I can't help but smile as I sniff this. Beths Plum and Honey scents do very well on me. It's airy without being etherial or wispy, and is unexpectedly warm. Huh, I guess I'm a Libra...
-
I heart this scent lots and lots. It's juicy, and reminds me a tad of Frumious Bandersnatch (which must be the carnations)
-
Not a feminine scent by any stretch of the imagination. I think it's the combination of "dusty rags" and "wooden switches" that smell like boiled celery during drydown LOL This is an intriguing scent, reddish and spitty and dusty. I feel quite impish wearing this
-
Paper, and soft dust. A friend says it smells like clean diapers. Fooey on her, *I* like it!
-
In the store, it was yummy, but today it's just clove-y. Le sigh.
-
This is possibly the most incredible scent I have ever had the fortune of wearing. An amber that WORKS! Patchouli and vetiver? Wow wowie WOW! This is dark and wicked and magnificent and sexy all at once.
-
This is a strange scent, many unplaceable unrecognizable scents, but soon after application a peach sings out. But not a peach juice, or fresh summer peach in the sun. Peach like the scent of peach-flavored vodka. This isn't a bad scent, but it's just not me.
-
In the bottle, it smells like old lady. Fresh, it's DELICIOUS, gold and almonds. Drydown is quick, leaving one disappointed. Uruk is like finally getting that yummy boy in bed, and finding out that he not only doesn't give head, but he's a minute man. *sigh*
-
I am BATHIN' in this, aw yeah! I loves me some plum and patchouli and benzoin and... this is musky and chewy and feminine without being cloying and it's DELISH.
-
This is GOOD! In the bottle it's this week's painfully nasty sour stink, but once on skin it transforms. Every time I snuffle, it's different, and always good. Hot damn, an amber scent that works on me! The dominant notes (once it's settled) are musky sandalwood and a fruit (the amber? the wine?)
-
Where is Cantabria? On me this explodes with black vetivert (presumably the mandrake), and then settles neatly into a fantastic dark scent. Incredibly alluring and sensual, this is not a daily scent, but a scent that I might just need a 5ml of.
-
HOLY CRAP! This is a magnificent scent. You know how in the "Beauty" series by Anne Rice A. N. Roquelaire, Beauty is sent to a foreign nameless "eastern" kingdom; she's painted with honey and with gold and set out as art (and entertainment)? This is exactly what Madrid should smells like. Like honey and gold and freshly-crushed clove that burns the tongue. Woof!
-
Fresh, it smelled like jalapeno'ed coconut. It quickly turned to musky amber, and just isn't pleasant. Ah well. Amber just in't for me.
-
HOLY CRAP YUM! This scent can be described best as "scrummy", with an astringent bite at the back of my throat. Regretfully, a fairly quick fade but not as fast as some. Dark and thick and damn good.
