Initial Impression: Slighty venomous, like crushed poisonous herbs but with a sweet hint of raspberry. It’s sharp, and not entirely pleasant. After Wearing It: The orange comes out, together with more of the raspberry. It’s no longer as sharp and poisonous, but a more well-composed sweet and dark scent. After a couple of hours, all the identifiable smells have faded, and a sweet smell of those perfumed erasers you used to have as a child is left. It turns simple and child-like, like a raspberry scented Barbie perfume or something. Final Impression: For an evening out, I would consider wearing this. It is heavy, but not too heavy and the scent is very pleasant. Unfortunately, it fades to a generic sweet perfumey smell on my skin after a couple of hours.

Initial Impression: Honey and milk, warm and sweet but still a bit sharp. A flowery undertone. After Wearing It: For once, I think I can feel the ginger. The sharpness has faded and left is a very warm and slightly sweet scent of warm milk with honey and maybe a touch of ginger. Final Impression: I like it, it’s was and sweet without being too strong. A perfect scent for quiet autumn evenings.

Initial Impression: Dark and spicy, I can definitely smell the undertone of lime through heavy flowers. It smells of flowers and plants, but not in a heavy and sweet way but more mature and with a nice sharpness to it. I don’t usually like flowery scents but I like this. After Wearing It: To my dislike, it turns sweeter with time. The smell becomes a rather heavy and sweet scent of flowers and wood and that undertone of lime I detected fades away. Final Impression: It’s not sickeningly sweet like most flower scents, and I love it for that but it’s still too heavy and sweet for my taste.

Initial Impression: A nice and light smell of anise, with a spicy undertone (possibly the sandalwood). After Wearing It: The flower note slowly kicks in, and makes the scent more well-composed. The anise continues to be the strongest note for a long while, with sandalwood and flowers in the background. After a couple of hours, the anise has settled down and I get a very nice and warm smell of flowers and spices, albeit quite discreet. Final Impression: It’s a really nice scent, except for the fact that I don’t really like anise. If I change my mind about that, I will definitely wear it.

Initial Impression: A lot of almond, with a very bitter and organic undertone. It’s extremely bitter, and has an almost poisonous smell. After Wearing It: It turns a bit sweeter with time, and the extremely bitter tone mellows down. But it continues to be sharp presence, like almonds and poison. I can pick up a faint tone of eastern spices, but it’s very light and unnoticeable. I slept with it on, and when I woke up it mostly smelled like wood polish. Final Impression: It’s rather scary, and I don’t plan on wearing it out. On my skin, it’s just not pleasant. It’s way too sharp and bitter and nauseating and never turns sweet and well-composed.

Initial Impression: A strong and slightly bitter smell of a flower I can’t really identify and some citrus. It’s extremely strong, and takes over the room. After Wearing It: The flower scent fades, and a more classic artificial smell of citrus and citrus peel takes over. It’s still very strong, but has a more complete and well-composed tone now. Final Impression: It smells like a big bowl of various artificial citrus fruits. Instead of smelling like fresh real fruits, it has that distinct smell of artificial citrus that bubble baths and stuff has. I don't know if it's my skin or what, because judging from the reviews a lot of seem to get a much more "real" smell.

Initial Impression: Amazing! It has the most gorgeous smell of green tea tea with lime. It smells exactly like the Japanese lime tea I buy at my local tea store and I love it. I can’t detect the ginger though. After Wearing It: It turns sweeter, like a big cup of green tea with lime and sugar. It’s very light and has faded a bit, I still don't feel the ginger but the smell is lovely anyway. Final Impression: I love this smell to pieces. It’s the perfume of my dreams, with that wonderful and well-composed smell of green tea and lime. I’m going to wear this a lot.

Initial Impression: Right after application, it smells of cinnamon and cookie dough. Very sugary and lovely. After Wearing It: Still sugar and cinnamon, it hasn’t changed much from the initial smell. With time, it mellows out and becomes a bit warmer and more complete but cinnamon and sugar continues to be the main theme. Final Impression: It’s a very nice and warm smell, perfect if you like cinnamon and the smell of freshly-made cookie dough. I love it, it makes me think about being warm and cozy and eating apple pie warm out of the oven.

Initial Impression: Right after application, it smells very perfumey. A lot of citrus and a hint of grapefruit peel. I can’t say I smell the green tea though, and the honeysuckle is only a faint undertone. After Wearing It: The smell changed very little, it continues being mostly lemon and citrus peel with an undertone I would identify as honeysuckle. Final Impression: It’s a very nice citrusy and fresh smell, but I wish that the dreen tea note would come out more on my skin. I will definately wear it those days when you want a fresh and light scent.

Initial Impression: It actually does smell a lot like inside a tea store. A hint of dry tea leaves and lemon. After Wearing It: After a couple of minutes the milk kicks in, and the scent turns sweeter. A undertone of musk melon makes its appearance, together with the vanilla. I unfortunately can’t smell the ginger at all and the tea has faded to the distance. Final Impression: It smells nice, although the tea tone fades and the smell becomes more like warm milk with some honey and vanilla and that unfortunate hint of musk melon with time. The hint slowly faded though, and after 2 hours or so the predominant smell was warm milk with vanilla and an undertone of black tea leaves. I can definitely see myself wearing this, but I really wished the ginger would show more as I absolutely love the smell of ginger.

Initial Impression: Right after application, a wonderful and slightly bitter scent of cherry. After Wearing It: After only a couple of minutes, the bitterness of the cherry faded to a rather mundane sweet and soapy scent. It seriously smelled exactly like regular soap, complete with that slightly dry and bitter tone hard white soap has. Final Impression: Unfortunately, it does not work with my skin at all. All I get is an unpleasant smell of soap.
