Someone said that MB: Closet is a dark Beaver'versary, and I agree! Same sweet icing, same foodie goodness, but with a nice helping of booze to round it out.
-
Soft, pretty, sweet. Very fruity with hints of lime and the same rose note I get from The Knave of Hearts. Yum!
-
This one goes through an unfortunate 'urine' stage on my skin. Once that fades, though, I'm left with a pleasant floral that is surprisingly masculine.
-
Thanks so much, alyssinwonderland, for the chance to try this! My first impression was tobacco, tobacco, tobacco. After a few minutes of dry-down, this seems to be mostly black rose and hairspray. I agree with the other poster that said this has a 'lipstick' sort of smell to it... slightly chemical, but soft and feminine. Nice, but luckily, not for me.
-
Roses, Pearls, and Diamonds is lush, creamy and soft, and it also has a great throw without being overpowering. This scent is so elegant and so beautiful that I will be investing in a bottle as soon as I have the funds for it. Perfect!
-
In the bottle, it reminds me of Smut. Actually, the wafts I get of the oil now that it's dry still reminds me of Smut, but when I get up close to smell my wrist... it smells like plasticky lime. I could detect the licorice for about two seconds before it disappeared. It's not a BAD scent, but the tonka seems to overtake the rest of the notes (that happens to me every time I wear anything with tonka, it seems ) and after twenty minutes or so, I get nothing but Play-Doh. Ick. Does not play well with my chemistry.
-
Sweet cherry and vanilla combination that is reminiscent of Blood Kiss without the vetiver. Very yummy without being too much of a 'foodie' scent!
-
asfkl Oh, this is so good. Slick black leather and metal and OMG I just want to BATHE in it. I can't even give a coherent review, it's that good!
-
Oh, pretty! My skin amps the amber and incense notes most of all, with some nice deep, dark plum to give it a little sweetness.
-
Sprite! Green fizzy Sprite with a dab of lemon. Seriously, y'all, this could be a Sprite SN. It's a fun scent and true to its namesake.
-
Sugary vanilla and lots of patchouli. Very much like Snake Oil, to me, with a slightly less spicy edge.
-
My first impression is... bubblegum! As it dries, the star anise comes out more, making this a very nice sweet and minty blend.
-
I get straight-up hairspray when it's wet, and once it dries, there's a melon-spicy-foody thing going on. Like someone sprayed nutty, syrupy cake with fruit-scented hair products. Far out, man.
-
Apple! It's apple! And aquatic! This is an apple swimming happily in the ocean, then coming up to shore and slathering itself in spices. Hmmmm. Not what I expected, but pleasant, and kinda whacky!

On me, this is very masculine and very yummy. It starts off as a OMG IN YOUR FACE balsam and fades out to something cologne-y and mild. My skin devoured it pretty quickly. I guess it was just too yummy! -
ACK. PEE. PEE. IT SMELLS LIKE PEE. That's all I can smell. Iiiick. I wanted to like this, but it does not like my chemistry at ALL.
-
This is a really nice blend of melon, florals and honey. It'd be a perfect springtime scent. I definitely wouldn't mind having more!
-
This is probably the strangest scent I've ever tried. It starts off very dusty and strong on the balsam. Someone else mentioned absinthe and I agree, it reminds me of a less sickly sweet version of Absinthe. Then, once it's dried, I smell... grass. Not freshly cut grass, but old, withered grass. And some vanilla. ...not for me at all. And it makes my skin prickle! I guess Ü and I were not meant to be.
-
In the imp, this smells... abrasive. Like a really sharp, burnt ginger. And on my skin... equally abrasive. It doesn't really morph into anything else.
-
I got some of this courtesy of the fantastic Dark Alice. For a while after spraying this, I kept sniffing the air like a maniac, trying to figure out where on earth I'd smelled it before. Then I realized... it's like a room spray of Mother Shub's Pfancy Pfefferneusse! It's foodie and sweet and OM NOM NOM good. Quick, someone convince me I can't bathe in this.
-
This reminds me quite a bit of The Chapel. It's gone that same strong, dark feel to it, but the darkness is tempered by a boozy note that's really nice and subtle.
-
This is a very nice, bright floral. After a few minutes, it fades out to something a little less sharp and a lot more green. Not very much throw, but it's a pretty scent! Perfect for spring.
-
Gleaming stone and silver. This disappears to NOTHING on my skin. Not even enough of a scent left to review, sadly! Going on, it's a nice, cool metallic, but then... poof. Gone.
-
I agree with SurlyGirl. This smells like black jelly beans. There's a strong hint of clove, but that's about it. It's a nice scent, it just doesn't amp on my skin.
-
In the vial, it smells delicious, like a woodsy vanilla spice. Dry... it smells like buttered popcorn and skin musk. Yup. Interesting, but definitely not for me!
