This one is super, super light on me. Very faint fruity gumdrops at first. Then it goes a little salty and then it disappears.
-
There is something very perfumey about this one. I do like it. Damn, nevermind, now it is something totally different. I blame the coupling of jasmine and my skin. I should have known. Betrayed again.
-
This seems like a fall scent to me. It is crispy and crackly, but also fresh. There is a note here that I have found in one or two of the halloween scents. I like it, but I don't know how much use it would really get from me.
-
Usually I really like rose, but there is something off in this one. I didn't even realize there was rose in it at first. I get cinnamon bears over something off. Something a tiny bit rancid. After a while, the rose starts coming out a little to fight with the cinnamon bears. I'm surprised that the cinnamon is winning. Usually the rose beats out every other note on me. I just can't wear this.

Wowza. This is green. It has a bit of harshness to it. Kind of like mint and liquorice. There is also some kind of a money note in there. I'm also getting sharp spices. It is a cold scent. I never got any citrus here. It is invigorating, but not something I'd really wear.

The absolute darkest scents? dark, ghostly, haunting, scary,

The Tower is pretty dark. It is what I'd expect actual brimstone to smell like. Czernobog is pretty dark as well. -
yum. Sexy floral. Deep green and deep purple with flecks of light. It is confidence. ETA: As it dries it gets wetter, humid. ETA: It kept getting stronger and stronger and it became overwhelming. I had to wash it off.

I am by myself, so I can't report on whether or not it's working. (Unless someone comes knocking on my door, in which case I'll be back to edit this post.) The scent is very soft and sweet. It keeps bringing different things to mind: watermelon rinds, babies, lily of the valley, cotton balls, sweetgrass, odd.

I don't have anyone to test this on, so I will only comment on the scent. It is warm and woody. At first there is a bit of spice in there. Sandalwood or cedar is the majority of this. Not bad at all.
-
I get acrid smoke from this one. I am bummed because I like bay and didn't get any here. I also love honey and didn't get any of that either. boo!
-
This one is icy cold and a little bitter. There might be some kind of pine or birch or juniper in here. Underneath there is something like orange. After a while it warms up some. It doesn't have a lot of staying power on me.
-
Oh man, I really like jazz funeral. I might be buying some in the future. It's dark and a little foody. mmmmm I love the blending of the notes. It is a little boozy. I would definitely wear this often and I wasn't even planning on trying it based on the description. It seems pretty unisex and would probably be very nice on a guy. In fact, I may buy this for the next guy I date, then I can jump on him and slather him with it and then jump on him some more.

My first thought was "white flowers." After mellowing, this one is light, bright, salty ocean air. The bay rum is very very light. I like this one quite a bit. It's not especially masculine, but I bet it would smell great on a guy.
-
This one started out smelling so good! It was warm, a little honeyed, and fruity sweet. Then it changed on my skin. It went soapy. Soap with hints of fruit.
-
At first this smelled a little dusty. I'm sure that was coming from the iris. There is also some sweetness that comes and goes. Overall, it isn't really me (too much iris) and I think the amber is doing something weird on my skin.
-
At first it is minty and sharp. Then it goes to a mix of fruit and the bamboo. There is a little bit of salt water here too. It is very fresh. It isn't something I'd wear much, if at all, but it is an invigorating scent.
-
At first I really liked this one. It started creamy and soft. I think the shea was really standing out. Now it is coconut and something weird and green. I think the milk changed on my skin, again. It just doesn't suit me.
-
This started out smelling more like traditional designer perfume to me. Then it went soapy. Very soapy. Something in it isn't working out.
-
This one smells very fruit punchy sweetarts on me. It is orangey citrus with a little bit of the pepper. It is a bright scent.
-
After reading the description I did not expect this to work on me. Vanilla always goes to plastic and jasmine goes chemical on my skin. I do love gardenia though and tea rose though. Maybe they can power through. In the imp this is a gorgeous combination. Hmm, nope the chemicals win. I'm not surprised, on me, this is all chemical nastiness. boo
-
Mmmm. I love this! It is light and green. I lived in Dublin for 6 months and one of the things that really stood out to me was the weather. Every five minutes the weather was doing something different. You could just stand on a bridge and watch the sky change in front of your eyes. That is something that I really loved about being there. This scent is the green green vegetation, the wind, and thankfully none of the Liffey.
-
Fenris wolf on me is warm and resiny. It doesn't go all the way to woody and I think that's because the amber keeps it sweet. It is a dark red/brown scent, just like it's color. I would wear this and it would also be good on a man.
-
Hmm. Lear on me is dry and woody overall with a little bit of creaminess. It isn't as masculine as I thought it would be. In fact I find it very unisex. It really is nice. I like that it isn't coming out as entirely cedar. It is strong in a strength of character kind of way, not a smell you from across the room sort of way and it is still soft.
-
While wet this one smelled very strongly of almond. Bitter almond. Then as it dried it went floral. Then more specifically, it went rose. Rose always amps on my skin. The final result was light rose with a little spice and a tiny bit of orange. It's nice, but there's others that I like more.
-
The neroli and the patchouli are standing out the most specifically with a general flowery note mingling in there as well. As it dried it got a bit of a soapy note. I think ylang ylang does that on me sometimes. Then it goes a bit dusty on top of the soapy. Here and there the patchouli comes back, but overall my skin changes it too much for me to be able to wear it.
