Pink's accurate. Sweet and girlish, with tinges of cotton candy, spun sugar and bubblegum. Tones down a little as it dries and goes more floral, combined with a hint of strawberry.
-
Buttery Perversion--or Grog/Hellcat plus tobacco. Butter with fragrant smoke behind it. Very strident. Then it goes more sweet (cherry?) and tobacco-y.

In the vial, It's perfect: I can smell the egg nog, and the separate nutmeg. On my skin, the dark rum turns into the heavy vanilla scent my mother used to use in our vacuum, with a dash of rum. Warms and softens as it dries--lighter vanilla by the end.
-
Beautiful, light, with the Sea of Glass crystallinity. I think I smell florals and honey. It seems very white to me. The waft is very gentle, but inhaling deeply, you can smell the complexity of the lunar oils in there. Coconut milk, perhaps. Light, daytime spring scent, I think. I can see violetblue's guess that this is the "milk" in Dragon's Milk. There's some cake/foody/bakery element to it, too. Oh, and there's the mint. A very, very strange mint it is, too. I had a flashback to some strange cleaning material of some sort, which isn't a pleasant association. Fades fast, but is very pure and light.
-
Something very objectionable: probably vetiver/cedarwood combo. Sharp topnote--olive? Cedarwood? Totally appropriate to the name, though.
-
Mostly rose, wet. Carnation comes out as it dries, which isn't fantastic on my skin. Overall, too carnation/sharp green for me.
-
On me, so light and mysterious and dusty as to be distracting, then quickly nonexistent. It goes so fast, unfortunately.
-
Strong lemony herbs. Lavender, perhaps, but a dry version rather than the artificial sweet in most products. Then a darker note underneath emerges--earthy-like. Probably the frankincense, at a guess. Wakes me up quite a bit. Darkens as it dries--gets forboding, even.
-
Floral. White, shining, almost commercial jasmine floral. Nice, kind of sophisticated, but not me. Drydown turns a little funny--metallic, almost. Old-lady, a bit.
-
Mostly exotic musk on me, which I like. Wouldn't pass up another imp if it came my way, but not sure this is big-bottle-worthy.
-
Sharp, sharp, sharp in the nose at first. Fades to a soft green eucalyptus, with an almost sweet undertone. It's nice once it settles down, but not really me.
-
Lily of the valley first, then sandalwood. Very pretty, very light, but virtually all sandalwood on me. Fades fast.
-
Minty floral and green grass. Turns soapy-sharp: certainly wakes you up. Soapy-sweet floral again, softer. Probably ok for work.
-
Very chocolatey. Almost like baking chocolate, though--it's got a grainy sharpness in it. Pretty consistent so far. A friend of mine thinks it smells like vanilla, and cookies.
-
Lush sweet wine at first, then cherries and musk. Top edge is a little weird: too fruity or berry? Hmm.
-
I smell like a strawberry wine cooler! Light spring/summer scent, very young, very innocent. Little variation in during the course of its lifespan. A tad on the commercial side for me.
-
Very juniper at first: the pointedness and almost astringency (astringentness?) of Christmas boughs. Then the fresh scent of new wildflowers: slightly dirty, not real sweet, but fresh and clean comes through. Freshly-turned forest floor--coniferous, not deciduous. Then earthy patchouli emerges. As antimony says: "it's a hiking scent."
-
Patchouli of the "dirt" variety. Not very appealing to me, unfortunately.
-
Soft and light floral. Springtime. Dulls to carnation (a bit bitter) within the first hour. After two or so, gets a weird tinge of the latex from balloons on me.
-
Too clean and sharp wet: too sweet-lemon-linen. Much more bearable when a few hours into it. The pale musk comes out pleasantly later, but by then no one else can smell it. Too bad.
-
Finally a tea scent that at least kind of works for me. Reminds me of the Hesperides in its lightness and freshness. Very crisp and herb-y, sharp even, but not bad sharp. Very springy. Goes nice and subtle quickly, but I wonder if my skin isn't just swallowing scents today.
-
Lovely, lovely start. A darker but sweeter dragon's blood. Doesn't change a whole lot on me throughout its stay.
-
Beautiful almond start. This one's magical to me. It's perfect marzipan at first. I so want a big bottle, but I'm afraid to say that in sensitive spots (crook of my elbow), it makes me so red and itchy.
-
Pure civet. Damnit. I even waited for it to settle down a little, but that first stage is just unbearable to me. I wouldn't be able to sit through it long enough to reap the rewards.
-
confusingly lavendery/incensy. probably too powerful for me. dries to incense smell: lovely, but not exactly me. sandalwood as topnote.
