Lime, ambergris, balsam and sandalwood on my skin. There is just a touch of red musk here, hard to smell unless you're looking for it. Something here is reading as aquatic on me. But I like it. Someone mentioned this smelled like Big from Lush, and I can vaguely see it.

I've been looking for a good lilac scent for years, and I think I've finally found it! This is lilac and just a hint of vanilla and white musk on my skin. It's wonderful!!
-
Plum, berries and a hint of lime with the opium poppy just underneath. This is a little sharper on my skin than I was expecting.
-
I agree with Wwindy that this is a gorgeous floral incense! I was a little worried about the caramel but it doesn't really make an appearance. I'd say the black orchid, sage and sandalwood are most prominent on my skin. I get just a hint of frankincense. I love this!
-
Rose and flowers with vanilla musk and light resins. This is actually very pretty, and while I can't usually wear rose as a note, this one seems to be behaving. It is predominantly rose on my skin for several hours before eventually ending up as a sweet, creamy floral. I like it, but I'm not sure how often I would reach for it.

Cedar and amber with undertones of spice. I actually really love this. It's glowing and warm.
-
The wine and fruits are a little more prominent than I thought they would be. The spices come out and the leaves are more present in the dry down. This is a pretty perfect fall scent!

This wasn't as sweet as I thought it was going to be. I got very little vanilla from this, and instead I get a distinctly masculine cologne-like vibe. -
Creamy orange floral with a hint of spice. OMG I love this! It's cozy but sophisticated at the same time. It's too bad that this is so hard to come by, because it's shot up into my top 10!
-
This turns into a vanilla, ginger and grapefruit scent on my skin. Sweet and light, and a little creamy. I actually quite like this, and I wasn't expecting to based on the wet stages.
-
This is very very floral on my skin. I was expecting more sweetness, but instead I get a lot of flowers. The teak doesn't make an appearance either, and the musk is very faint. I was hoping for more of the other notes, but unfortunately, my skin turns this to some indistinct perfumey floral.
-
This is very light on my skin. A sweet, dry incense blend. Unfortunately it doesn't last very long. I do get a lot of sandalwood.
-
I love the simplicity of this on my skin. It's a sweet lemon sugar scent, refreshing and light. Very pretty.
-
Red musk and incense on my skin. I love it!
-
Opoponax, kumaru, cocoa butter, Mysore sandalwood, verbena, almond milk, guiac wood, beeswax, and myrrh. Creamy almond milk and oppoponax are standouts here. The verbena adds a bit of a masculine edge but it's not over the top. The myrrh and beeswax round the scent out nicely. Overall the effect is creamy and resinous. LOVE!
-
This went a little non-descript on my skin before vanishing completely within an hour. Before it disappeared, it was mainly black currant and lavender.
-
I was a little worried about the brown sugar here, because it normally goes to maple syrup on my skIn. I shouldn't have worried. This is awesome! It does go a little powdery on the drydown, but I love it anyway. The honey and tobacco leaf are most prominent on my skin, and this is a really warm and cozy blend.
-
I'm going to start right off and say I absolutely LOVE this scent. It's very fuzzy and soft and comforting on my skin. It reminds me a little bit of Mole from the Wind in the Willows series. The moss is definitely at the forefront on my skin, followed by cocoa, sage and tonka. I'm not getting much citrus here. I can see how this might skew masculine on some people, but I think that just adds to the appeal for me.
-
Something here went maple syrupy on my skin in the wet stages. As it dried, the maple syrup scent faded and the linen and woods became more predominant. This ended up being a little more harsh than I anticipated. The vanilla and pumpkin weren't as present on my skin as I was hoping. Overall, I think I'll keep this aside for aging.
-
I was a little worried about the wine and cake here. Wine tends to go over sweet on my skin and take on a "juice" or "syrup" scent. And cake can end up plasticky. In the wet stages, the wine does go a little syrupy on my skin, but it quickly blends into the rest of the scent. The Snake Oil comes out more. I'm left with an incensey cake and a hint of booze. I quite like this!
-
There's something in here that skews masculine on my skin at first. As it dries, it softens somewhat. I completely agree with the statement that it smells like a vanillic October. There does seem to be a strong mint note during the wet stages, but it blends nicely into the rest of the scent on the dry down.

This is predominantly musk on my skin. There is an underlying sweetness but the musk is definitely at the forefront. I'm not getting much in the way of other notes here.
-
Well, this is more of an astringent lavender than I was anticipating! But the honey and cheesecake soften this considerably. It's also not nearly as foody as I thought it would be. As it dries, this sinks closer to the skin, and it becomes a really snuggly kind of scent. I actually really love this.
-
Well, this pretty much went to plain ol' red musk on me. There was some non-descript sweetness in the background but mostly this went to all red musk on my skin. I was hoping for something with a little more complexity. Damn skin chemistry.
-
I completely agree with the review above. I don't get marshmallow from this, but rather a sweet vanilla. The smokey aspect is WONDERFUL here, and the combination is absolutely divine. I do get a hint of cinnamon as well. Overall, this isn't as foody as I thought it might be. I am quite pleasantly surprised by how much I like this.
