i'm mostly getting the amber and peach with a faint hint of the florals (thankfully!). i'm pleasantly surprised and would never have thought to try this one... yay frimps!
-
apricot brandy, indeed! ripe juicy apricots and just the right amount of booziness. i can't stop sniffing my arm... must add this one to the 5mL list!
-
at first, it was all sandalwood and rose, but as it dries i can smell the amber and saffron. i'm glad that the rose is mellowing out as it continues to dry down. i keep catching whiffs of something that reminds me of the incensey smell of al azif. overall, i'd say it's a keeper.
-
this one is so wonderful! i'm really at a loss for words as to what to say about it. it's a gorgeous blend and i'm able to pick out each note. sandalwood, incense, and an earthy spiciness from the patchouli... would work great on a guy as well.
-
at first, this was all almond and rose and i was thinking...oh no! as it dried, the rose moved to the background and i began to smell the orange peel and spices. now that's more like it...
-
coconut and mint on me...very similar to spooky, but take away the chocolate and add a smoky note. elegba and i just aren't getting along at all. i'm sure this would smell wonderful on someone else.

i was very excited to try this scent and i am not disappointed. it smells like a sweeter graveyard dirt with spice (cinnamon and ginger, maybe?) and very very faint floral hint. i think i'm going to have to add this my 'want a 5mL' list. =D
-
this started off somewhat tart, but on drydown smells like sweet milk with coconut and an undercurrent of sandalwood. very pretty
-
i just LOVE 13! i was somewhat nervous about it after seeing some of the reviews, but i received mine today and WOW! it's gorgeous. on me, there's a faint chocolate smell with vanilla tea, a hint of citrus, and something kind of tobacco-ish (i realize some of these notes aren't actually in the description, this is just what it smells like to me). complex and very beautiful. wonderful job, beth!!
-
i'm not getting anything floral or incensey from this... just a slightly sweet, yet acrid smell and something woodsy. definitely not for me.
-
at first, all i got was frankincense and cinnamon... mmm! then the violet started creeping in...hmm. as it dried, it started smelling very soapy... like a clean 'man' smell. this one's not for me.
-
first i smell fresh soil and fruits...then the soil moves to the background i begin to smell the amber and vanilla. it's a gorgeous, incensy fruity scent. i love it!
-
citrus tea and a new leather jacket. very interesting scent.
-
citrusy sandalwood! the mango adds a nice touch. fun, fruity scent
-
this smells mostly like myrrh and patchouli with just a bit of floral... it's a spicy floral though, so it isn't completely turning me off. it's getting a little soapy on drydown. spicy soap.
-
*drooooooool* shill smells SO wonderful! yummy buttery popcorn goodness! i do get a hint of something sweet like caramel.... num num. this also gets a thumbs-up from my son
-
aquatic w/a bit of a floral/green scent. very pretty and quite calming. it does dry a little 'soapy', but it's doing the job of calming me and that's why i wanted it
-
mmm... buttery, creamy vanilla with coconut. this is such a beautiful and comforting scent. love it!
-
mostly florals...and something very astringent. i don't really smell much honey in this at all. i'll give it another try before i decide it isn't for me. EDIT: ok, i meant to edit this last night, but never got a chance. after it had plenty of time to dry, it smelled WONDERFUL. the initial astringent note went away, the florals mellowed out, and i started to smell the honeys..golden, delicious honeys.

The Greek God of Tears, Patron of Mourners, who dictates and accepts honors paid to the dead. He is the personification of grief and the sorrow and emptiness that comes from loss. Weeping is his hymnal, and this is his perfume. Salt tears over white roses, the fumes of thin funereal incense and the hollowness of calamus. this smell great wet..a salty and somewhat floral smell.. but on drydown, it became very soapy.
-
mostly orchid and sandalwood and a sweet berry smell... very pretty!
-
i was leary of this one because of the floral notes, but WOW! i was pleasantly surprised. i can smell wet grass and fresh flowers.. very pretty scent.
-
very "green"/herbal scent..earthy, but with a strong floral incense note...almost too strong for me. it's a very pretty scent, but that floral note is just a bit too much on me. i think i'm going to try using it as a room scent.
-
i've been curious about alice, but was also leary because more often than not, florals and i do not get along. this was mostly milk and honey w/a touch of rose..very nice. i've gone from being curious to wanting a 5mL. i also think alice/dorian would make great his/hers scents.
-
violet and rose with a strange powder smell. definitely not for me
