Delphi: The smoke of Sacred Incense of Apollo twined through laurel branches, bay, and honey wine. I love the incense, I love the honey wine... but the bay adds a completely unnecessary aromatic note that kinds of ruins this. Still nice, just not the masterpiece it could have been.

My second Come and See scent, and my second really great men's cologne. I am terrible at describing men's scents, but this is musky, and has lime, and a bit of wood, it's bright and active. I love it! One more for the Man's Pile.
-
Very green and herbal. I do smell the florals, and they are lovely, but they are overlaid by some very potent aromatic and sharp herbs. I would wear this gardening, to me this says "herb garden" and green growing things.... hmmm not very Hades-like, but I didn't want the imp because of the name.
-
I smell the tea and something like sweet cream, but for me this is all angry poking tingly pepper and ginger. Oh well.
-
This is delicious... I am just wondering why, on me, there is so little throw? Sweet, spicy, musky, floral, tad coconutty. REALLY fun and summery! Not too sweet, just right. A big ole keeper!
-
Hmm, very mild and little throw. I get pretty much only sandalwood with this, with a very mild breath of rose mingled with patchouli so well as to not be very recognizable. It's pretty, but secretive. Doesn't wanna come out and play.
-
Roses, sandalwood, some other mild spice? Pretty, maybe a bit too spicy to make me think of Venus, but a lovely scent anyway.
-
This smells a lot like the rose in Haunted Palace, to me. I don't get white rose from it, smells more pink to me. Juicy perfect pink roses, with a lovely hint of musky background. These are almost fruity. I love it!!
-
Musky, definitely frankincense, and a floral that blends nicely. It's very pretty, but also very like "perfume". Sure it's BETTER than most perfume, but it still is enough like your average stuff that I don't need a bottle of this. It's pretty and sophisticated, though, very womanly.
-
I pretty much get only light sweet caramel and a touch of non-smoky tobacco. Yummy, fun, and I am glad I got a big bottle!
-
Light honey, subtle sweet blossoms, soft retiring musk. Utterly gorgeous. Well blended, nothing slams you in the face but sheer sexy beauty.
-
Dirt, wood, a little patchouli. Not my style whatsoever.
-
For me, this is a heady mix of jasmine, with a teensy bit of jasmine, and some added jasmine with just a piiiinch of jasmine to jasmine it up a little. I love it, of course, but am not sure I need it, I have a lot of pure jasmine perfumes, though this is a super high quality one.
-
Snake Oil with a big dollop of hazelnut butter in it. Almost peanut buttery. The surrrounding smell is a lovely, sweet musk... but frankly the nut butter smell is too much for me.
-
Definitely a soft rich white chocolate. Then a tangy fruitish almost violet smelling scent emerges. It is a strange mix with the white chocolate, vague tanginess with creamy sweetness. But I do like this and will be keeping the bottle.
-
Very faint cherry and vanilla. this dies down quickly on me, which may save it from being WAY too lollipop sweet. Okay, but an unremarkable candy scent on me.
-
A very subtle berry scent. Has some sweet, some tang, but not too much of either. A lot more like smelling a whole berry on a bush than an open, juice dripping one. This IMO, isn't a juicy, bursting berry as described, but a drier, hardy forest berry, with a hard waxy coating. It is keeping its bounty a secret. Little throw to this, but it would be a nice summer scent if poured on, IMO.
-
Wood. Wood with a biting spicy patchouli. No thanks.
-
This is lovely, subtle and dark. I can locate most of the notes, but it is a very skilled mixing and little stands out, they all meld perfectly into a very sophisticated scent. IMO, this is definitely a female scent, very rich, and more on the musky/incensy side than the floral, but not "definitely" one or the other. I don't get a lot of throw, kind of adds to the "secretive" feeling of this scent. Very nice, but I don't know if I require a whole bottle.
-
Well personally I smell cucumber in here. A light happy cucumber, mixed with a rich pink floral and something spicy... maybe the patchouli mixing with the floral in a way that says spice to me... this is very nice! the cool water note alleviates the heady spicy floral. I will wear this again, very happily. Great throw.
-
Clean cool watery scent with light subdued floral. Some green in there too. Lovely and calm. Would be, I think, a terrific hot day scent, or cool spring day scent.
-
Yeah, definitely almond, coconut, and almond milk with teensy honey bit, and Yeah, I get the fig in there... OMG A BPAL IN WHICH I SMELL ALL THE NOTES!!! Blow the horn! Dance til dawn! Wow, that's a first. I like it. It's sweet, it's foody, it smells like a Fig Newton, it's fun. It isn't a favorite, but I will wear it again. Kinda musty, I remember the coconut in Black Pearl doing that to me also, to my dismay. Overall it's a good one.
-
Incense, opium, sandalwood. Rich, warm, and utterly gorgeous. SEXY!!! OMG this is incredible. Big bottle time all the way!
-
A hot, spicy red floral. Lightly sweet, smells tinged with cinnamon. Nice for a hot day, is my thinking. A tad heady.
