very white and airy/heady patchouli and champaca, a very nice blend at first. then Cloying sweetness, thick and syrupy, heavy on the patchouli
-
very close to the skin, tobacco, woodsy/spicy/incense. Turns to a tobacco/hemp like note with a soapy bite
-
initially - dirty. not dirt. just dirty and a hint of sweet vanilla
the hazelnuts do come out after a few minutes, but they dont make it smell any better
so it's like a sack that's being drug around everywhere by filthy, dirty, goblins. something in the sack smells kinda nice if I take time to really let it settle an take a loooong sniff that gets to the notes inside the sack
-
sweet syrup-y fruit like canned fruit mix, turns strawberry sugary, maybe a hint of orange blossom and/or vanilla
-
the copper and blood turn sickly sour on me and permeate through the woods and musk, which actually balance it pretty well.
it quickly settles to a mildly sour musky scent that if I take a loooong sniff I get copper (otherwise I can't distinguish the notes any more)
-
this is..... so faint I can hardly smell it - on my or in the imp!!
direct nose to skin gets practically nothing
kinda sweet, kinda brimstone but too faint to tell.
-
-
I only got a sniffie, which had the barest amount I could wipe on my skin, but even if that wasn't the case it's not a very strong scent on me.
heady and dark and blue/ indigo incense, slight earthiness,
-
sweet, fruity bergamot and blackvetiver, hint of licorice? No leather. Turns a bit sickly sour under the sweet fruit
-
sweet lavender cologne (not as Sweet as Jareth, which I put on the other wrist for comparison after reading other reviews here) that fades down adding in a more earthy brown (sage?) with hint of polish. No leather for me
after the initial dapper-ness, it no longer smells like a cologne except in occasional whiffs of undernotes. It turns into something wholely unremarkable on me
-
just a drop and this is overwhelming me with sharp biting greens. I think I can pick out a couple specific veggies, but it's just tooooo strong and greeny for me
-
foody and warm till the florals take over. the florals with underlying foodiness turns a bit ick on me, but those flowers aren't especially nice on me to begin with
-
I am also amping the caramelized sugar and the tea with maybe a bit of orange blossom
I'm not getting any patchouli
unsure if i'm getting tobacco leaf
-
definitely pine pitch...at first
my initial thought is that it smells like vicks vapor rub, but not quite as in your face
give it a few minutes and the pitch settles and fades (no more vicks) letting the greener mosses and the dark violet leaf note come out.
the violet leaf quickly takes over as the dominant note with maybe some oakmoss rounding it out.
-
weird is the best word I have for this scent.
it's heady, kinda sweet, with a yellowish bite
after a few minutes I think I get some leather, but it is yellowed-sour
-
a tang/bite that reminds me of Twisted Oak Tree (though created by different notes), snuggly brown and clove with a touch of spice
In the bottle, the tang is very prevalent; don't let it put you off from skin-testing
after wearing for a bit it settles into mostly musk, still warm and snuggly, brown and hints of warm spice and the tang
-
I can't wear scents with rose in them, but I received a frimp of this and decided to check it out
I like that it smells like FLOWERS as opposed to FLORAL
it's a very nice blend of some particularly nice flowers.
the rose actually doesn't overpower the other on me
the incense is a nice touch that works well (as an undernote) with the flowers, letting them really shine
-
wow lemongrass!!!!!
ok, I like lemongrass, but this is a LOT....makes me wonder if the mosquitoes will stay away
it drowns out all other notes...I must amp it b/c I just put a little on with a toothpick and wham. lemongrass party
-
very pale and faint....and what I do get is biting, acrid, and yellow
if I sniff really hard (as it fades a lot on my skin), it reminds me my grandparents house - a mix of cigarette smoke (on the house, not the smoke itself) and, old potpourri or soap
a few minutes later and it's mostly gone from my skin, leaving yellow soapiness
-
coffee and vanilla, rich, foodie with the spices, a bit too coffee/brown to me, but if you like coffee or foodie scents it's a nice one
-
very sickly-sweet, emphasis on the sickly. I think it's the leather and tonka that smell almost mildewed...after reading the Poison Queen's I agree with a bit of cucumber, though it's still a little more mildew than cucumber on my skin
and faint inky blackness permeates, but no specific note jumps out
-
very sweet sugary warm gingerbready caramel (Tablet) in bottle. Fades fast on skin. But still sweet. Hints of musty paper, no leather
turns slightly more dry-papery after a bit with maaaaybe small hint of leather, the sweetness is warm and comforting, and the whole scent is very soft
-
wet: very much like cologne of amber and florals
as it dries: some sweet gum-like peach comes out.
dry: Fresh and clean, peach takes over quickly without being overpowering. still hint of florals. it's a lovely blend that works well, just not my kind of scent
-
I put it on and instantly get a scent that's very sweet, white, and juicy.
It turns quickly to lemon cake, wafting back and forth between something more sandalwood and something more lemon-cleaner, but usually staying sweet enough to conjure cake

this just smells like "perfume" to me...reminds me of my grandmother's
I can't pick out any specific notes (usually I can)
but there is a warm note underneath the perfume that's probably the cinnamon
if I let it sit a few minutes I think I can pick out the orange blossom, but still mainly "perfume"
*edit* a few MORE minutes and the morph hits! orange definitely also vanilla and tobacco come out, and the cinnamon goes away
still too perfumy for me, but nice to finally get the notes
