I was really hoping to like this since I would have loved a "Seattle" BPAL scent...but alas, it wasn't for me. It started off a little fruity and then morphed into the smell of lipstick. Hm. Ah well, I consoled myself with buying a couple GCs. Glad to hear that it is working for others!

Anyone here ever use Nivea lotion? Because that's what Moon Rose smells like to me. I do like the scent, but not as a perfume for myself. Moon Rose is flowery, but I was looking for more rose, and I agree with the aquatic comparison. Ah well, pass.

As a lover of Katrina Van Tassel, who blooms into a rich honey and rose scent on me, I was very curious to try this one. On me, this is straight Snow White [which, incidentally, smells like Dana O'shea on me too] and if I try really hard I can maybe pick out some rose. Alright, another yule to pass! So I personally am not enamored by Pink Snowballs, but glad to hear that so many people are enjoying it!

Gah, I should have known! My skin amps sandalwood like nothing else, so all I get is sandalwood.... so very woody. Was hoping for more rose-amber with a little sandalwood in the background. Silly me.
-
I get kind of a baklava smell, with honeyed pastry and a little rosewater... over an undercurrent of plastic. The lab's foody baked goods scents do not work on me. =(
-
Sweet, creamy apple! And it seems like the greener variety, but in sorbet form. Then something popped up that makes my eyes itch like crazy. *sigh* Maybe that will go away with time?

I have discovered I like my scents on the simpler side. Honeyed peaches in the bottle, which is something I wouldn't mind smelling like, but it fades a lot when it hits my skin, like a slightly sour, weak peach tea with honey. On it's own, it feels like the Gaoler's daughter is missing something, so I decided to layer it over some of my Body Shop Satsuma body butter and it turns into a quite lovely, wearable addition. Dithering over whether to track down a bottle...as in what are the odds of finding a better simple honeyed peach scent?

*looks over scent description* Hm, someone's already noticed this, but Snow White '08 smells like sweet almonds on me. In fact, a lot like Dana O'shee. I thought it smelled familiar...
-
Sweet peppermint for ten minutes then *WHOOSH* it's gone! Ah well, it was worth a try. =)
-
Oh my...oh my, this is love! I may have just found the perfect scent for me! Perfect for sunny days anyhow ^_____^ It's very crisp and lemony with overtones of ginger...and stays that way! Very little morphing. Kumiho also lasted for hours on my skin. The throw is not strong, but I still could smell it six hours later. Mmmm....wuv! ^___^

I get cinnamon with a hint of coconut milk, but very pleasant and lasts a long time. I tried it on before I went to sleep and it was still recognizably there when I woke up. Someone mentioned Pumpkin Spice previously and that's probably where the cinnamon is from. Again, I'm not knowledgeable about smells, so take my review with a grain of salt.

In the bottle: Hello frosting! Dry: The frosting quickly fades down to florals...then stays as an overpowering lemon/lemongrass scent. I don't get any grapefruit, which is a tad disappointing. Its throw and wear length is really good, but the strong lemongrass make Cheshire Moon something that I would have to be in the mood for. Say, perhaps, early spring.
-
Starts out as sharp grapefruit and stays that was for about half an hour. Cheshire Cat then sweetens quite a bit to nice floral citrus combination. I'm not knowledgeable enough to pick out the notes, but this is much nicer for me than Cheshire Moon.
-
Whew, a strong citrus! I mainly get yuzu and grapefruit on my skin, with some sweetness that I think is verbena. I love citrus, but something in this is giving me a headache. I'll have to retry it later.
-
Mmm...green grass.... When I sniff closer, I can smell the sweetness of fallen leaves. But it's mainly grassy. It reminds me of raking leaves in October since the grass is still growing in California. I don't think this is a scent I will wear often, but I'll definitely keep the imp around when the occasion presents itself!
-
Hm, I'm relatively new to reviewing, but Katrina starts out as a lovely light rose on my skin, drying down to a creamy honey. It keeps close to the skin, as Lookingglass pointed out, but that's quite alright with me since I wear it to make me happy and don't want to broadcast it to my entire workplace. And I kept getting whiffs of Katrina since it lasted the whole workday! ^_____^

...PEZ? Vice smells like orange pez candy on me.
