Vaudevillain

WOW. I got a tester of this, it's absolutely miraculous. Very, very creamy, with a slight crispness that's probably the teak. The amber powders it out nicely. The lotus floats around and brings it together- ahhh this is absolutely gorgeous. It's got an interesting throw, too- it does throw but it isn't erratic, pretty much it stops about a foot from where I applied it. If I can find a bottle of this, I'm getting it!

I love this one! Floral and pretty and fresh- the sweet pea really brings it all together fantastically. Reminds me of water lilies.

Oh, I love this so much! Bright, orange, tangy, and sweet, it's invigorating and cozy at the same time- like cuddling in the grass under a bright blue sky. I *love* this one. Suits me so well, and I think it'll be a signature scent for me. 5 out of 5!

In the bottle: çlear, light floral. Beautiful. On the skin: Still a soft, white floral, but less clear- it blends together a bit more to be something more solid. final impressions: I like this. Won't wear it every day, but definitely worth keeping.

I have no idea what happened with this scent. It smells exactly like lilacs. And nothing but lilacs. I love lilacs, but it took me waaaaaay off guard- what even the crap happened here?

Burial. Eeeeep! It freaked out my cats when they smelled it on me.

Tamora actually had a really interesting effect- it's sweet and earthy and musky, like making love covered in mud perfumed with vanilla. I live in a very earthy city, filled with hippies, and when I wear it they always compliment me. (guys, visit Boulder.)

Nightmare is a pretty lonely smell on me...

The death scents are the most common ones to be masculine, I've found- one in particular being Burial.

in the bottle: delicious and yummy. On the skin, sharp bits come out- the apple fades, leaving a weird buttery fruity smell. Weird. Ehhhh, 2 out of 5. Edit: the buttery is actually my skin, so it mostly smells like pomegranate apples with me. Pretty nice, actually. 3 out of 5.

Holy crap, this much honey is slightly overpowering- wet, it's absolutely honey when wet- sickly sweet. When it dries, it gets fruitier, like blackberry flowers, less blackberry. Interesting, but not phenomenal. 3 out of 5.

Exactly what it says- toasted marshmallow. On the drydown, it brings out scents of cinnamon. Pretty foody, but interesting- sweet and round and slightly fiery. I want to eat me:D 4 out of 5

In the bottle: Nothing but maraschino cherries. Sticky sweet, gross, cherries. On skin: Still cherry, but man, this is a crazy morpher. Initially stinky sweet, and then the cherry leaves until it's jsut the finest hint, leaving this sexy anise and musk blend. I quite like this, actually. 4 out of 5

In the bottle: oh my god- it's spicy and bright, with a sharp piney edge. Skin: spicy and warm, conjuring up images of dancing feet in straw. Dries cinnamon-ey and beautiful. I love it. 4.5 out of 5.

Smells on my skin like it does in the bottle- like my face is pressed into wet forest dirt. I love it, but I would onyl wear it very specifically- it's deep, and dark, and earthy, very rich, and very beautiful. I like it a lot- 4 out of 5.

In the bottle: Incense. Intense, resiny incense. On the skin: Very lemony, very yellow- sunlight on stone. Sharp and clean and slightly exotic- almost frankincense. Very good as a room smell, maybe as a skin smell if I really wanted to smell very clean. Edit: Uck. Uck uck uck, it's turned to cat pee and disgusting buttery rotten flowers. Ew. And it's got a crazy throw- people across the room can smell it and are blaming my kittens. Do not want. 0 out of 5.

In the bottle: sharp and fruity, slightly alcoholic, very perfume-ey. on skin: mellows out a lot- warm, fruity, but with a dark edge to it. Doesn't blow me away, but it's pleasant. Final verdict: 3.5
