I normally don't go for foody scents, but I LOVE Red Lantern. In the bottle, and on first contact with my skin, it's all caramel, but then it quickly starts to smoke up, and it's gets deep and interesting. This is unusual, but very beautiful, and kind of sexy.

This is absolutely beautiful! It's sweet, but dark and mysterious at the same time. And as so many reviewers have remarked, it's STRONG. I'll have to be a bit more careful next time if I don't want to give myself a headache. It also has incredible staying power. On me, it lasted for over 24 hours on my wrist, and that included two showers and a sink-load of dishes. This is really sexy, and I can imagine a man wearing this as well.

I might not have bought this if it were available separately because violets just never did anything for me, but boy, am I glad I did. This is a lovely sweet floral that smells exactly like these violet candies I once had. It smells exactly how it sounds. This is sweet, pretty and girly with a surprisingly good throw, and it lasts forever.

First applied, this was nutty on me. It almost smelled like roasted peanuts, for some reason. Hmm, I wonder what that was. On the drydown, the sweet, sweet apple really comes out. It's sweet and sharp with powdery amber in the background. After about half an hour, it is all apples and herbs on me. This would make a great autum scent if you are into sweet, fruity blends. It's a little spicy but very innocent.

It took me a while to place it, but this smells exactly like the inside of a Lush store. It's berries with a sweet herbal feel to it. It's almost intoxicatingly sweet and a bit tart. Very nice.

Dragon's Claw on me is mostly sandalwood, with just a touch of dragon's blood resin to sweeten it up a bit. It's warm and brown, has a really great throw, and lasts forever. I put it on my wrist about 20 hours ago and I can still smell it now. Although I don't think this is specifically masculine, I do think this would also smell delicious on a man.
-
This is a really lovely white floral with tinges of green to it. It's soft and gentle, a little sad, but comforting at the same time. The sandalwood and musk don't emerge until late in the drydown, but the white flowers remain the prominent note throughout. Love this!
-
At first, this is all roses and palmarosa on me. After a few minutes, the sandalwood starts to come out and eventually takes over. Now, after ten minutes, it's all sandalwood, with some kind of woody background. It's very sexy. Love it.
-
Ooh, this is a straight up floral, lovely and feminine, with something sweet and warm in the background. Must be the musk and the spices. This is beautiful and exotic, a little dark and tragic, and very complex. I think this would be a great scent for a romantic night out on the town. It's alluring and sexy without being too forward, if that makes any sense. I'm in love.
-
At first, this was citrusy on me, almost pure lemon. It was sharp and tangy, with a hint of wispy, powdery flowers in the far background. Uh-oh, I am not a citrus girl at all. But wait a minute. Or actually a few minutes. This starts to evolve and grow. It's getting darker and sadder. Could it be the frankincense, rose and musk coming to the foreground? It must be, because I'm falling in love with this. To me, this morphs and changes just like the character it's inspired by. Perfection! I am going to be wearing this a lot.
-
Oh, this is one of the most beautiful rose scents that I've ever experienced. The incense cuts the sweetness of the rose and balances it out perfectly. It's sweet and young, yet warm and sophisticated at the same time. Genius! This seriously lasted on me all day. I dabbed some on early in the morning, and it was still the same lush rosiness that evening. I love, love, love this stuff.
-
I'm so in love with this right now. It's everything I expected it to be: sexy and warm, a little smokey and leathery, and just downright beautiful. It's sophisticated and smart, and very mysterious. Love it!
-
This is an intriguing scent to me. It starts off being very sweet and innocent with a bit of a sharp bite to it, and soft powder in the background. Then in minutes, it starts to darken, and becomes incredibly... sad. It becomes a soft, smokey, sophisticated rose. I love this.

I find Bitch to be really soothing. -
Oddly enough, to my nose this is a cherry Pez, lol. It's fruity and sweet, but not in a sharp way. It's more like powdered sugar, as opposed to sticky sweet syrup, if you know what I mean. Very nice indeed, but it doesn't really float my boat.
-
I like this a lot, but it seems a little too bright and happy for me. It's a pretty floral with a little bit of green in it, and I picture a sweet, innocent young girl wearing this. I am not sweet, innocent or young anymore, so this isn't really me. It would be beautiful on someone else though, definitely.
-
This is white cake batter with a shot of booze. I'm not into foody scents at all, and I wouldn't wear this myself, but I thought it was warm and pretty, and I would love to smell it on someone else. It's not too sweet or sharp. It's well rounded and very well blended.
-
Oh, this is just like a white bunny rabbit's fluffy little tail. It's light and airy, fluffy and soft, and little powdery. This is very pretty and light and a little perfumey.
-
This is a warm slice of pumpkin pie and it makes me want to top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I'm not going to do that. To me, it doesn't smell like candy corn at all, but I like it.
-
This is brown sugar + maple syrup. It's really sweet and warm and somehow smoky and brown. At first I wasn't sure about a scent that smelled like brown sugar (I am not into foody scents at all), but it smelled wonderful on my sister, and I think I'm beginning to understand why she likes to smell like dessert, lol.
-
In one word: Bubblegum. It's sweet and fruity, and a little bit powdery. To me it's feminine, but more in a girlish way than a womanly way. I like it, but it's not really my thing.
-
This is fresh, fruity, red and warm. It reminds me of Mi-Go too. It's very pretty, very sweet and has a good throw.
-
This is very, very fruity and fresh, but there is something sharp that kind of stabs my nose the wrong way. I am terrible at identifying individual notes, so without a description, I have no idea what it is that's bothering me. Like nannan45, this reminds me of something that I can't place, but in my case, I know that it's something I don't particularly like. Unfortunately, this isn't for me.

I was first drawn to this because of the Turkish rose, and I'm just a rose kind of girl. At first, I have to say I was a little disappointed that the rose didn't stand out more. But then, ahhh, I fell in love. This is complex and very well blended. I would say that it's a very feminine floral that's not too sweet and not too heady. At first, I'm enveloped by the sweet honeysuckle. Just lovely. Then the vanilla starts peeking through, warming it up just a bit and making it just scrumptious. Beautiful! It's soft and feminine, but has really good throw and lasts forever. Yes! I have found my signature summer, girly scent!
