I'm very thankful the lily is so subtle in this. Lately everything I try with lily has been too sharp and intense, but this is nice. It's very springtime in the woods; just the kind of wet green and earthy scent I love.
-
All I get from this is a wonderfully spicy, almost cinnamon-y, Dragon's Blood. I like it!
-
A very long lasting sweet lily. Nothing to get excited about, but it's pretty.
-
When I first put this on I immediately though of cinnamon gum. On the dry down the cinnamon is still prominent, but also I get a little ginger and clove with a warm sweetness that can I only describe as dried orange peel with a touch of vanilla. A very interesting blend - I like it!
-
Yep. A manly cologne, but it's light and subtle. Amber and moss seem to keep the other notes in check so it doesn't have the sneeze inducing sharpness that I expected. This would be lovely on a man for sure.
-
A very simple, sugared floral at first, then after a while the vanilla takes over and starts morphing into burnt plastic. I'm starting to think my skin isn't too fond of some of some vanilla blends. Too bad, it's really pretty in the imp.
-
Very pretty. It's wild and green, and has a floral sweetness that doesn't go too sharp or disappear within minutes. This will be a really nice scent for summer. Good throw and longevity, too.
-
This is a strong, golden, almost over-ripe citrus at first then slowly morphs into a deep, purple, spicy incense. Granted I'm a bit of a slather-er, but I've had it on since early this morning and it's barely faded.
-
This is a wonderfully musky scent that lacks the usual sharpness I've come to expect from jasmine. What I love the most about Nuit is that I can actually detect the rose which is very deep and gorgeous.
-
This morning I was moving about getting ready for the day when my nose caught a lovely rich scent. I realized it was my imp of Nosferatu which I had laid out the night before. What a throw! And so pretty. To my nose the wine isn't so apparent, it's mainly mossy sweet earth with a hint of something floral, nothing sour at all. Very nice.
-
A blast of lavender and cypress then POOF...gone. Even a good slathering didn't stop this one from pulling a hasty disappearing act.
-
Flowers and amber; sweet and almost powdery with a warm scent of peach lurking quietly underneath. After a while it morphs into something that smells a little like the faint traces of incense caught on a summer breeze.
-
I get expensive soap at first then it dries into a traditional, almost old fashioned, sort of floral perfume with strong notes of lilac and rose. It's very soft muted colors, lace and flowing silk.
-
In the imp it's a very, very sharp sneeze inducing floral. Initial application on my skin it's gardenia and an unpleasant undercurrent of vanilla that reminds me of melted plastic. After an hour or two it settles down into something sort of pleasant, but not worth the wait.
-
On the initial application I definitely get apple and peach, but it's not heavy and over-ripe. There's also a touch of floral sweetness with a sharp, unidentifiable edge. Frankincense and myrrh, perhaps? Unfortunately, after it's been on my skin for a while the sharpness overwhelms everything and irritates my nose. Darn it.
-
Apple, dragon's blood, and musk; so pretty, warm, and sweet without being too cloying. Plus it's longevity is very decent. I like this one a lot! I must say, so far I am really loving the dragon's blood.
-
This is mainly sandalwood and anise on me which is very pretty and simple. This would make a perfect layering scent.
-
It starts out as an intensely sweet white floral, but the amber seems to soften it on the drydown and the patchouli adds just enough earth to keep the amber from going too powdery. Very nice.
-
No mistaking the mint and lavender; a very lovely combination that's neither too intense nor subtle. Initially the mint stands out then settles nicely with the lavender, however, it fades surprisingly fast. This would be a good one for a scent locket.
-
Tea cakes with berry jam. My shortest review yet, but that's what I get: tea cakes with jam.
-
Wet or dry this smells exactly like a fresh bag of sticky sweet carmel popcorn.
