Lots of fir needle right after application. As it dries, I'm still getting mostly pine and patchouli. Completely dry, pine is still the strongest note, with patchouli and maplewood being the other 2 strong notes. I'm not getting any of the cognac, plum leaves, or hazelnut, unfortunately.

2011 Version: Not much coffee in this one. Mostly spicy pumpkin and vanilla. Still smells yummy though!

This one smells wonky on my skin. Kind of like sour apple, ginger, and flowers.

Leaves, flowers, and bourbon vanilla on my skin. It reminds me of early Fall when the first leaves begin to fall.

Light fragrance. Sandalwood, tobacco flower, and tea rose are the dominant notes on my skin. Very ethereal.

Lots of white tea and crypt dust on my skin with light violet and saffron. I actually really like this scent the more I wear it. I am able to just barely detect the red musk once the oil has fully dried.

Dark fruit, vanilla, light floral, and sexy darker musk . Jasmine note is not a problem in this blend for me. Soft and alluring scent.

Very pretty and feminine. Dry, but not powdery. I pick up the apple and agave nectar notes equal parts and the floral components are delicate and subtle. Lovely.

Juicy apple with light musk and vanilla notes. The floral notes are very light in this and not at all overpowering.

Pomegranate is definitely the strongest note on my skin, but each note is well-represented on my skin. Very beautiful Fall scent.

This one is dry leaves mingled with mint and a smooth vanilla note. It's a beautiful Fall scent that is very representative of this morning where we had our first frost of the season. This scent is an embodiment of crispy leaves crunching under your footsteps on a frosty October morning.

Lots of lavender to start. As it dries, I begin to smell the fig and agarwood notes and lots of incense. This is one I will definitely seek a bottle of. It's a very calming scent for me.

Very soft linen and vanilla (but not too creamy), fruit, a trace of lavender, and opium. No jasmine for me either. And I cannot really detect the honey or the amber on my skin. Damn, another decant I might need to turn into a bottle.

I too remember the patchouli scented Like A Prayer album and I agree with the comparison. This one seems to be really working well with my skin. I get lots of black spicy musk, a little red musk, patchouli, clove, and the vanilla orchid softens the entire scent. Right now, I'm not really getting any of the mandarin, but that's not stopping this from being an amazing scent on me.

I get lots of cedar in this one. I tend to amp that note, so not really a surprise for me. Underneath all the cedar, the lime and dragon's blood does have a salty vibe to it. Unfortunately, just too bitter on my skin for it to work on me.

This one is interesting...it starts out leather with a bitter coffee note, but very shortly thereafter morphs into something beautiful. The carnation and sweet tobacco notes emerge and blend so wonderfully with the coffee and leather.

What an interesting combination of notes, but it works! Starts out heavy pine and just a trace of cotton candy. As it dries, the pine fades back and the candy note becomes more pronounced. Floral note is in the background from wet to dry. It's there, but only when I really concentrate on that note.

Spicy, smoky marshmallows. I need a bottle of this too.

Wow, this one is love on me. Pomegranate balanced with light floral notes and a hint of spice. The rose is not at all overpowering and very balanced with the other notes.

It's hard for me to pinpoint any specific note in this one...it's an overall slightly fruity floral blossom blend. Soft, and actually something that would smell perfect in Spring or Summer as much as Fall.

This one is baked pumpkin with all the spices. Not sure yet if this one will be a keeper. There is a note in here that seems...off...on my skin, maybe the ginger? I do wish the orange note was stronger on my skin.

Wet on my skin, I get that "fizzy pomegranate" note that Aldercy referenced above. I'm definitely picking up the black pepper and oakmoss as well. I actually don't find this to be too masculine on me. The patchouli begins to emerge as it dries further. Fully dry, the pomegranate, black pepper, and patchouli notes are strongest in that exact order. I love this scent! I'll have to try to make this one last.

I pick up the lab's snow/winter note in this blend, which is always chilly mint and pine to my nose mixed in with candy, pumpkin, and just a trace of leaves and dirt. I guess I can see the reference to maple syrup as well, though I initially just considered it to be the candy note. I love this blend.

Yes, it appears to be. She looks so cute on it. I just wish the scent had worked out better for me. Alas...

Very powdery. Vanilla musk, roses, and another floral component I can't place. Quite feminine.
