Loved this - on me, it smells a bit like... ok, this will be hard, because I am Not good at this terminology. It's not a "foodie" smell, yet it sort of has the Spirit of the filling on a Good Lemon Cheesecake. It does smell a bit lemony on me, and velvety and soft and Fresh. The only thing that stops me from wanting a bottle is that it soaks into my skin almost immidiately and it doesn't smell very much Before doing that either. It reminds me of Alice, in a way - they don't really smell the same, but they behave the same on my skin; they lose their own scent and just turn into one with my own smell. Which is a good thing, except they never get stronger than that, and I like my scents to be quite present

Had the incredible luck of picking up a bottle of this one and it arrived in the mail today. Seller said others had shown interest but backed out - their loss - my win It makes me think - immidiately - of the Pratchett-book "Carpe Jugulum" where it is mentioned that Phoenixes don't know what they are supposed to look like, and so tend to look like whatever birds they grow up among. To quote from book, for those curious: "'It was born among hawks, so it looks like a hawk. If it was hatched in a hen roost it'd be a chicken. Stands to reason. And a hawk it'll remain, until it needs to be a phoenix. They're shy birds. You could say a phoenix is what it may become...' " Well, this is a Phoenix grown up among Flamingoes and those Galah-birds. It is also Very much a scent-memory for me; when I was little, there used to be a folk-dance event near my hometown, and my...ah, curse lacking vocabulary...grandfathers brothers wife used to work there with showing how candy was made in the Olden days. This smells Exactly like the huge lump of sugar and flavours she would braid and hook and pull over a big metal spike - it's like Raw candy. Sadly, while it starts out like a really intense Rain of pink glitter all around me, it fades really fast on me, in about an hour, so this one will not see much use, because I will treasure it and use it only when it is Special occasions. Unless I can find more bottles. Got one and don't like it? Do let me know - maybe we can swap or I can buy it or similar Edit: Found that if I put it in my hair it lasts longer - please, please, please, get me more o.O

So...uhm. I just got this in a swap and decided to try it first. It...I'm really not sure how to say this, but it smells almost Nothing. And I don't mean that it is faint or as no lasting-power - it just seems to almost disappear when it hits my skin. In the Imp, it was sweet and smooth and had the Lovely honeytone I so adore. On my skin - when wet, when dry and now when cooling down it smells almost nothing. I will admit it's just "almost nothing" rather than actual nothing; it adds a bit of honey-cream-feel with something possibly bergamott'y (and that is one of the best smells I know of) to it, but even when I rub my nose in it, I can just barely tell it apart from my own skin. Note that I am a smoker though, and a lot of people have said it is fairly discreet, so..what do I know - maybe my nose is just broken - but it usually works fine. I also don't get Any babypowder - it's a bit like Dana O'shee to me - not in smell but in how it smells almost nothing at all on me, but what it does smell is very pleasant. I like the smell - if I used body lotions, this is what I'd want them to smell like; apparently just an enhancer to my own smell. But as a perfume, no. I see a few people have mentioned likenesses to Lush’s Potion Lotion - so I'll head down to Lush and check that out today - maybe I'm onto something here --- Edited because...you should always give things a second chance and I have today found that Alice and Two, Five and Seven (two scents I liked, but not enough for bottles ) are Fantastic when layered. I'm adding this edit to both my reviews, in case someone would like it as much as me but never actually did test So now, i't going to have to be bottles of both.

thread-necromancy, but I find that Arkham makes me...well...you know...super-horny (apologies for rude words) No idea how it works for men when on me, but it works for Me on me. Did also try it on the ex, but oddly, it smells more girly on him than it does on me :/ (it was still SEXY on him, just he didn't feel like wearing it in public, due to that he felt it smelled girly...sigh)

I wasn't having Any opinion about this at first - it smelled Nothing. Maybe a teeensy bit like watered down celleri. Then, as I sat around typing, cecking Facebook, such stuff - something suddenly started tickling my nose. In a sneezy way. All I get is soap, but it Really amazes me how it started out literally smelling nothing and then Boomed into this sharp and Very present smell. It still has an undertone of some sort of vegetable, it isn't Bad, but it does make me think of soaps. So off to swaps it goes.

Been wanting to try this for ages now (ok, that's not true; I've been wanting to try this ever since I fell in love with Pumpkin Princess) It has the same absolutely disgusting initial 10 or so seconds as Pumpkin Princess - and then, just like it does, this smooths out - the heavy, revolting bread-smell is gone and now it just smells like butter-based pie with fruits. It is lovely and warm and delicious and I want to EAT it. I can't actually see myself wearing it very often - but I am already developing an addiction to how it smells, so you never know - it may very well be part of next order. This, to me, is Not needing comfort food because I now AM comfort food Edit: Layering this with Dana O'shee is the ultimate PMS-cure, the perfect comforter and makes me realise what next order will be Sooo much a "tea, autumn, candlelight and cuddles" smell Edited because: This was written in late Autumn/Winter - now, it is Spring and Jack still works wonderfully - and I have a bottle coming

I agree - smells like some commercial perfume - but it IS good, very well-blended with nothing really poking out above the others. It's Very nice. I feel kind of indifferent still though, not sure why, but it just doesn't grab me and sweep me off my feet, nor does it cuddle me or serenade me or even...I mean...it sits there and smells nice, but I WANT it to do more than that

It smells like cloudberries I shit you not, it smells Exactly like cloudberries - wet, dry, in imp - all over the place! The most delicious little berry in the world, holder of my childhood memories, the most expensive damn jam you Can get - it is fabulous. Sure, it is very sweet, but in a Good way. I have no words, just amazing - Bottle!

Rose rarely works on me so far (the exceptions being 2, 5 & 7 in small doses and Santa Muerte by the bucket) This one smells nice enough, but gave me a headache - rose tends to do that one me. I don't get anything but rose from this, seems I amp the Bad qualities of rose, somehow

Squee Happy, bouncy, lively and spontaneous - this Does come off more like a shampoo on me - one I would Love to have. And maybe matching shower-gel. However, it feels almost childish, which is someting my general personality gives off far too much all by itself, so I sadly won't be wearing it. I love it, but on me it sends signals I'm not a fan of (that I am a happy, over-the-top airhead, basically)

Perfect wood-smell. It doesn't seem masculine on me; wood, yes, but sweet, young and round wood. I'm keeping the imp - if I start worrying about it running out, I'll take that as a sign, but so far, much as I really like it, I'm not sure I'd actually wear it enough to motivate a bottle.

On me; smells like getting into my ex's shower after he'd been in it. We're still very good friends and all, so there's no negative memories associated with that - and it's Not a bad smell (I secretly feel very safe and warm from it) but very...well...shower.

Delicious. Smooth, shiny, woodsy - and the tobacco smells almost chocolatey on me - this is refined and Intellectual and laidback, Very steampunk, small hat and airships, Conversations over pipe and some small glasses of alcohol. It's feminine to me, the type of capable, almost man'ish woman - that Still also as that exquisite feminine lure. My Only issue is that it is very faint on me - but I love it enough to keep using it and trying it and maybe today is just a bad-skin-day

This was a frimp - I wouldn't have even considered it. I am pleasantly surprised that this does NOT smell like soap or something used to clean kitchens or bathrooms, it's soft and round and not offensive in any way - it's Cute. "Cute" is totally the word for it, at least on me. But it clings to my skin and I can't smell it at all unless I stick my nose so close it Actually touches my arm. It's cute, it is very spring and I admittedly sort of like it - but that is all.

In Imp; woods and spices, I can sort of see it lying in a pile in golden sunlight being worth fortune. Very promising Alas, on me; Chai in tea bag that was left just a liiittle bit too long in the water, and then someone added just a liiittle bit too much milk. It smells sort of...faded. I can't quite describe it, but my hunt for someting spicy will have to go elsewere, Plunder is COZY on me, but not what I was looking for and not something I will wear.

I'm not sure why - this smells almost identical to Bordello on me, possibly me amping Almondy stuff? I already have and love Bordello, but now I felt confused, cause I don't need TWO of them. Tried some Hellcat in my oil burner and it is DIVINE; soft, warm, buttery and everything I hoped it would be - I'm going to let it age (or spend it all in the oil burner, whichever comes first) and see what happens. It is just too good as a room scent to give up on just yet.

Omnomnom! No, seriously, this is delicious. It's sweet, but not too sweet, it is like a dark hot chocolate drink with chopped black cherries in - it is luxurious and soft and warm and rich and amazing in all and every way possible. I do find myself craving chocolate more when wearing it, but just the dark, expensive kind, so it's ok - no overeating, as the work vending machines don't have that Chocolate and cherries may just be the tastiest mix in the world and this one just made it onto my bottle list ...orange blossoms? Maybe somewhere, making it less like I fell in a chocolate river and more like a perfume - I can't pick it out very much, but maybe it just adds to the awesomeness of the smell overall. Edit: I've had it for a bunch of months now and it just keeps getting better Now, I can very much smell the orange blossoms and they clearly make this more perfume and very, very lovely. So glad I got a bottle way back then

I love how some stuff I think I don't like at first, are then the things that turn into my go-to-smells. This is the latest. First time I put it on, I didn't like - now my imp is running dry and I need more. This smells like...well, it is beautiful. I sort of picture a sand&rock desert, and in the middle of this dry "nothingness" is a very green cactus, and on this cactus grows a purple-pink HUGE flower - no idea how it stays alive and the beauty just is there, untamed and mostly unseen; joyful for itself, sort of thing. I will be ordering a bottle of this. It is beautiful.

Frimp. Tried it once and wasn't much impressed, but it seems to have grown on me. I just wish it was stronger, because it is delicious - very foody, with rich milk, honey and almonds on me. Not too much almonds though, and it is grainy and yummy - I want to bake cookies from it My only dislike is that it smells sooo faint - it stays on my skin, like it's cuddling me (which I like) but I end up not smelling anything to other people (which I dislike) if someone was to stick their nose to my neck, they might Crave staying there, but as I am currently not doing any intimate contact with anyone, it is kind of wasted. I use this for nights I can't sleep though; it keeps me from the whole nervous toss-and-turn, with it's close, soft, subtle Loving feel

Liquorice Mint. Would be Delicious as candy - and I can see this working wonders on the right person - it doesn't work on me though; I smell like I spent the morning having a candy-binge (though the Anise is slightly more woodsy than normal candy liquorice, I guess on account of it being seeds, but still, the idea is the same) Yummy, and I'd be happy to smell it on someone else, just not on me

Thread-Necro, but Blood Kiss all the way; it smells Incredibly cherry (like Real, fresh, ripe cherries) on me at least - fantastic cherry-smell <3 (as a note, I find that things described to smell like cherries smell like CANDY cherries - Blood Kiss smells like Real cherries)

Received in a swap, cause I'd honestly never had had the idea to buy it myself - roses smell nice as a sort of theory, but as perfume, they always come out far too deep, powdery and old-womanly for me. Not this. It is sweet, pink, girly, bubbly and happy - when wet, it smells like heaven, like rolling in actual roses when you are young and happy - except witout the thorn and without anyone telling you Not to do it. It is round and the grass mentioned is there, but it must be very young, very fresh spring-grass when it first comes out after winter. I will use up the imp and hope I get frimped more when buying bottles. Cause I do want this around, but a bottle...maybe not - we will see how I decide. There's two things that hold me back; juust as it dries, it has a soapy phase (bleh) and I dislike soapy - and after some 8 hours, it smells like powder (bleh) I'm not sure those two are enough to stop me from a bottle, but while I love the smell, I also ave no idea When I'd actually wear it - maybe if I had a pale yellow sun-dress and a garden - but I don't (wish I did though) Edited, because roses do not TASTE, they smell - or, well, at least I have never eaten one and shouldn't be talking about their Taste o.O Edited again because...you should always give things a second chance and I have today found that Alice and Two, Five and Seven (two scents I liked, but not enough for bottles ) are Fantastic when layered. I'm adding this edit to both my reviews, in case someone would like it as much as me but never actually did test So now, it's going to have to be bottles of both.

Beautiful - flowery, sweet, warm and awesome - gave me a headache of epic proportions when I wore it, but for some reason it works Extremely well as room smell when put into oil burner - I live in a smaaall, shabby apartment and after using this in my oil burner, the place smells absolutely fantastic, clean, larger and less shabby; magic

Just got this in a swap and I will buy a bottle in my next order just to have at home for when I meet someting I think might be the man of my dreams - this would smell Incredible on the right man. Something in the very smell immidiately makes me think of someone male, blond, roughly 45-50 (I like them a bit older, so somwhere there would be ideal) with one of them Scandi/Germanic stereotype-bodies; tall, well-built but not bulgy-muscly, not overly furry, long straight legs and perfect posture - so dream-man smell for me It actually smells really, really nice on me too, like green and purple and someting smooooth, yet a bit tendrily and fuzzy - but I just get distracted and go all tingly imagining it on the right man, even with the floralsy bits (but why should flowers be unmanly?) Love it! Edit: I use this for anything where I require a man now (to not offend anyone, just use imagination) It has possibly aged a bit (or something - something happened to it) and smells so super-manly that I can hardy use it anymore. Very odd, cause in the imp it doesn't smell like that at all, and most everyone else seems to feel it's a female scent. Maybe mine is mislabeled or something? I checked if it was perhaps the old Arkham - but it doesn't seem like it... Edit again, because the extreme manliness of this has been confusing me for some time, to the point where I thought it was mislabelled or the old version or something. I tested it on my ex when I spend a while with him some week back - he is rather delicious and fits the idea of dream-man (only younger) - and on HIM it smelled as most people have reviewed it - it's just on me it smells like Super-uber-man, it seems. I ordered a bottle straight up <3

I've been fighting myself for over a week now to write a review here - but I can think of no words, it just sounds tame - and this is so not a tame smell. It is wild and colorful and sweet and strong at the same time, and creepy and corrupting and luscious and...there I go again, trying to use words, when words don't fit I just ordered two bottles, my imp is almost empty and all I know is that I smell like magic and can't wait for my order to arrive. Edit: it IS however funny that so many smells seem to be love-love for me, so I won't make the mistake I did with O and go "this is the ultimate and I need nothing else" as I feel shallow when I then find the Next love - but this is at least my top-favourite right now, and I wish I could shower in it and I wish I had a festival to go to so I'd get proper use out of it. It makes me want to be thin and way more successful and talented than I am, because the scent is made for people that are Noticably beautiful and Very Special...oh well. --- My bottles have arrived. It took a month of cravings, but they are here. Signature scent. MY signature scent! Whatever I put on now, I find myself missing this - I want to cuddle and hug it, I wish it was a person so I could make it tea, give it backrubs and stare lovingly at it, take it out and show it off, write books and songs about it - all that stuff. I will buy more bottles of it too - what if the Lab stops making it and I'll never smell it again? I'd cry myself to sleep and have a Hole in my very being for it forever, or until I found something that smelled exactly the same again --- Edited again, in the spring. Wearing Blood Kiss lately has made me realise that I see this as a winter-scent. In summer, or even spring, it is ever so slightly overpowering. It still smells beautiful - more than beautiful - but in the winter, it just...I can't quite exlain it - but it works even Better in the winter.
