Spork

this is not good! i may have to change my opinion of vetiver! this is a really nice scent, soft but with a hint of vetiver making an appearance and actually not taking over! dries down soft and with a hint of something fuzzy or furry in the background, if that makes sense

very wow! scent! to begin with, even with just a quick swipe to test it. a very green scent with a nice floral punch, calms down pretty quick to soft green rose and some other flower with a touch of something spicy in the background. not bad for a rose scent!

Electrically charged white amber, violet, sage, mint, and neroli flanked by dazzling metals and shining wires. minty minty minty! very awakening and sharp to begin with. tones down after a while to a lighter mint, a touch of flowers and a hint of metal, not bad at all.

smells sort of like spicy popcorn, it's not bad, but my cat is highly offended by it each time i try to pet him his ears go back and he runs off. think it will have to go.

was hoping that winter berries were different from other berries, but alas! strong, super sweet, high pitched berries all the way with a very very slight hint of rose a very long lasting scent, still going strong after almost 12 hours.

this is a lovely pine scent. very strong pine with a back drop of smokiness and a touch of some spice, the pine fades a little bit and it gets a touch cologne-y but it is rather magical, very evocative of the holiday season!

this stuff is goooood! the perfect campfire smoke! if there is vetiver in it, it is playing very nice for once. i get a sort of after scent of root beer, not a&w, a sharper, deeper root beer note, it makes the scent slightly sweeter and i like it!

orange candy to start, then lavender comes in and the orange is gone...completely dry i get oregano! this is a very interesting scent, was hoping for some jasmine, but it didn't come out and play.

ugh, grenadine = pomegranate, i forgot about that so this does what pomegranate always does, takes over and is sickeningly sweet ah well, someone else will have to love it for me

warm citrus and green scented...think the ginger gives it the warm feel without taking over the scent, this is very much

wow! this was a frimp from the lab since i would never even think of trying this...it should smell like four kinds of crap on me but it doesn't! start to finish, it's a soft figgy scent, can tell there's patchouli in it but it doesn't drown out everything else, the oakmoss behaves nicely and the mushroom i love from destroying angel is lurking happily in the background. not overly fond of the final dry down (5 hours later or so, this stuff lasts!) has something odd to it, but that could just be the mix of hand soap scent with my happy little grave-pig! am so glad i got to try this

not sure what this smells like...but it's a very familiar smell! a little bit like some guy i knew and he's apparently eating some grape jelly not generic grape jelly, but something fancier and a bit tart...it's a really clear and weird mental picture. think this one will be wandering to another happy home

so apparently this does something really weird on my skin...to begin with, it's a lovely clove with a bit of coconut and something else slightly creamy or sweet and then it morphs into vetiver...yep, almost single not vetiver! it was just out of the mail and pretty hot out though, will have to put it away for a while and try again!

yummy jasmine! and something sweet..buttercup or honeysuckle...can't tell which really, completely snuggle worthy

this is amaaaazing!! brown sugar, spice and a wee bit of smoke upon application, it then settles down to a nice strong spice, nothing shy about this one sassafas and wild plum might add a bit of sweetness, but don't assert themselves all that much. this one is 100%

This is just for me, pure and simple! Starts out a soft coconut with some florals, dries to a rather strong pineapple-y coconut then finally settles for a close, soft and some how bubbley coconut

wheee! leather! on wet it's a very citrus-y leather, then fades down to just leather and a hint of some kind of wood is lovely and comforting

definitely Mountain Dew, down to the lovely fizzzzzy feeling it leaves in my nose, very summery and bright!

floral, slightly creamy and somehow crystally smelling! pure love!

plus there's always scent lockets....

Glad to see I'm not the only one who gets a serious whiff of lemon! But just briefly...maybe 30 seconds or so, then the rose and jasmine start dueling for supremacy. Wow, neither one wins! After 10 minutes or so it dries down to a nice combination of rose, jasmine and another floral which must be gardenia since I don't know what it smells like. Vanilla chimes in and makes it a little creamy, really quite nice

Lovely! A nice smokey clove to begin with, drying down into a bit more pine, but still with a strong clove presence. One weird thing is one wrist smells more pine-y then the other, not sure why . Am very glad to have a bottle of this, it is completely

ACK! Who beat me with that lemon? Phew, at least that phase was quick More of a nice metallic scent after a minute or so, and at about five minutes into dry down is a nice lightly lemon but mostly metallic scent...want to say tin for some reason. This lasts for quite a while, going on six hours now and it's still gently metal with just a hint of lemon.
