Oh, wow, this one surprised me! I was leery because musk goes bad on my skin, but the other ingredients overshadow it. I didn't get acacia at all, just vanilla and sugar with a touch of honey. It edges on going to soap on me (probably the honey--that note doesn't like me at all).
-
I was expecting more fruit, but the cherry blossom overwhelms all at the beginning. The fruity scents come out as it dries down. Very pretty.
-
Started out strongly grapefruit, then faded to ginger tea rather quickly. Very, very light scent. Nice for summer! Will probably not go for a bottle, but will enjoy the rest of the imp I got.
-
Very light, barely there, sweet and soft, mostly grapefruit and lavender, which is an unusual combo but it works. I like this a lot, but would need to slather.
-
Ugh. Nope. I thought it would be more pomegranate, but on my skin it goes straight to cigarette. I had to wash it off. It smelled much nicer in the bottle.
-
Mostly florals, but getting the rosewood in there, too. My sandalwood allergy acted up, though, and I just don't like musk scents. Not for me.
-
Lots of dead leaves with a hint of blackberry in the background. As it dries down, the blackberry comes forward, very tart, well-balanced with the dead leaves. Very woody scent, dead on for the description. Interesting scent! Glad to have tried it, but I'm going to pass on getting a bottle. Not quite me.
-
Lemon verbena, then lemon verbena, then more lemon verbena. Smells like my back yard in the summertime. Decent throw. It's okay but I'll be fine with my decant.
-
Wet, it smelled almost like cherry-flavored cough syrup. It dried down to a lovely cherry cream, then almost disappeared. Very low throw, lasted only 20 minutes. Happy to just stay with my decant.
-
Got a decant on a whim. I like sandalwood but it makes me sneeze, so I usually avoid that note, but the rest sounded so promising. WOW, sandalwood. Slaps you in the face and takes your name, damn! There's a touch of fruit, but mostly SANDALWOOD. The fruit note came out more as it dried down, but I must amp sandalwood because it just boomed! Finally had to wash it off, as I started sneezing. Not for me, alas.
-
I agree with the comment above--this reminds me of Battle Fairy in Training, except with a "red" rather than "blue" note. Strawberry cream, very light, low throw.
-
First reaction is Snake oil, lavender, and candy. Not bad. It dries into a beautiful light Snake Oil (vanilla) with lavender and a bit of sweet. Doesn't stay long. I might get a bottle--going to try this one again later and see if it lasts any longer.
-
Starts out super-fruity and slightly fizzy, then goes to a lovely sugar. Playful and fun. Kinda reminds me of Pet Magah Bird without the nuts. If you like fruit scents, you will probably love this. Also, goes great in this hot weather!
-
This was an insta-bottle order for me because I love BPAL's vanilla. The French Vanilla single note is just divine! It's a rich vanilla, not strong, but has lasted four hours so far. Very smooth. Not as obvious as the vanilla ice-cream of Detestable Putrescence nor as strong. Just absolutely lovely. I went back and ordered a couple more bottles, and I haven't done that in years. If you love vanilla, get while the getting is good!
-
The perfect vanilla mint. Wow, the description on this is spot-on. Vanilla mint! Rather light and fresh. Doesn't stick around long. Must try this on my sheets!
-
From the decant, the candy scent was wonderful strawberry marshmallow goodness, but the minute it hit my skin, the licorice came out and amped like crazy. Ugh. Add licorice to my death notes. Maybe I can use this in a scent locket instead.
-
Another fan of candy blends, and this one is up there among my favorites! Yes, strawberries, but also a "blue" tint to it. Soft and sweet and oh-so-bottle-worthy.
-
The old Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple had been one of my favorites, so I had to give this one a try (decant). Rich, fruity red apple when wet, dries to a candy apple scent, but not as sweet as Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple. It's more...dry? Subtle? I do like it (apple scents are fantastic on me) but I think I'll stick with the decant.
-
Not sure what to expect from this one, as cream can go either way on me. It starts off strong pumpkin, strong cream and a touch of honey. As it dries, the pumpkin fades into slight spiciness while the vanilla comes forward. Still a lot of cream and honey. Dries down to a gorgeous smokey vanilla with a touch of pumpkin. LOVE THIS. Definitely getting a bottle!
-
Mmmm, vanilla with a plum base. Sweet but not too cloying. LOVE IT.
-
TKO is one of my go-to sleep scents and my husband just loves it. So when it came up for an Atmos Spray, I had to get some. It smells exactly like the TKO oil. Lavender and soft herbs. Medium staying power. The Man liked it so much he took mine and I had to order more! I wish this could be added to the regular stock of Atmos Sprays, rather than just a limited!
-
The pepper comes out a bit at first, but then it smooths into a mix of bubblegum and cotton candy. Dries down to orange creamsicle. Light throw, but decent staying power. Excellent summer scent. I'm debating getting another bottle.
-
Cherubic spun sugar with a hint of lemon, sparkling peach, and floral tea. Stronger florals than I expected, but it definitely has the lemon and peach with a bit of tea. I didn't really get the sugar in it. It seems like more of a spring/summer scent than winter.
-
Decant, 2014 version: I've been wanted to try Sugar Skull for years and finally got around to it. Wet, it is sugary delight and I get the candied fruits. It dries down to a brown sugar smell. No burnt brown sugar that I can detect--it's straight up brown sugar. I'm glad I got to try it, but it's not my style.
-
Wow, this is gorgeous. Not a foody pumpkin--it really does smell like pumpkins in a field, and rather puts me in mind of Pumpkin III 2009, without the sharpness of the fir in that one. Definitely getting the sage, grass, and vines with a pumpkin base. Getting a bottle on this one for sure.
