    Te Po

    Jailbait's Hawaiian vacation! Fruity lollipop candy, a little booziness, and something that smells like bubble gum. Ooh, I frankly LOVE this. Yum! Pure fun in a bottle.

    Screeching Parrot

    Alcoholic Hawaiian Punch...sort of like a Sex On the Beach shot. After its dried, Alcoholic Hawaiian Punch with ginger. Hey, I like it!

    Opuhi

    Have you ever smelled something and wondered if your nose broke suddenly? Because in the bottle, I smell vanilla with a hint of unidentified floral sweetness. And on, it smells like barely-there baby powder. No, I can smell other blends, it's just this one. What a disappointment .

    Blue Fire

    In the bottle, it doesn't smell like much. This smells like ganache, the fruity center in the candy boxes. But when I put it on and it dries, the blueberry comes out. And oh my GOD it's lovely...very much a true blueberry. I'd very much like a blueberry-green scent at some point. Anyway, Blue Fire is blueberry with a bit of tropical fruit in a fizzy, bubbling brew. It doesn't smell very alcoholic on me, it just cuts the sweetness a bit. It's really fun and lovely.

    Golden Wave

    This smells like the tangerine version of Orangina. It's a sweet, bold, sparkling citrus...there might be a hint of gin in there, but if so that's all that's there. It's very pretty, and while part of me is thinking "Tangerine juice! I smell like Tangerine juice...", I LIKE smelling like it. Mmmmm.

    Tiki Queen

    Candied fruits...it smells lovely in the bottle, but on me the fruitiness gets obnoxiously loud. This might have to be a scent locket scent for me.

    Tiki King

    The sexy male counterpart to Red Lantern. Spicy coconut...although it seems fairly unisex to me. Strong enough for a man, but Tiki-balanced for a woman.

    Boo Bam

    Holiday Moon in Hawaii! Luckily I love Holiday Moon...and the hibiscus really makes it that much more tropical. Very nice.

    Upa Upa

    In the bottle it smelled overwhelmingly foody. I thought, "Well, better try it anyway." But on, WHOA! The pineapple and coconut fade a bit, and the rum (which normally smells bizarre and not good on me) smells more like a spiced warm beverage. But summery! It's creamy and warm and perfect...nothing like what I was expecting. But even better! Now it's smelling like cinnamon...like a gorgeous, expensive perfume version of The Pirate's Wench. LOVE.

    Tupapau

    Ew, tiny little black specks in my oil. Huh? Maybe there's some kind of weird component in here? It smells like sweet tropical flowers. If Marae is a white garland lei, Tupapau is a colorful garden lei, with a wide range of flowers. It smells good, and although it's not my favorite blend so far it's nice.

    Moana

    My first thought was..."wait, they have a Mr. Sketch 'Blue Hawaii' marker perfume?" It smells a lot like the blue/purple Mr. Sketch markers at first...oh, how I loved those things! They're gateway drugs to later perfumery. If only my parents had seen the signs. Dry, it smells much more like a perfume. It's more sweet than aquatic, although the aquatic notes are there. Awapuhi is a Hawaiian ginger, which is a bit spicy and reminiscent of coconut, but mostly sweet, and it's very much present here. It smells so delicious, I just want to drink it. But I won't. Because even if I were I to survive, Beth would kick my butt.

    Marae

    Oh my goodness, I think I'm going to love these Tikis...it's like a Hawaiian vacation in a bottle. :swoon: Anyway. The incense is very light, definitely an undercurrent. This smells so lovely, like a lei of gardenias, interspersed with other white flowers. Sometimes gardenia can just be obnoxious, but this is soothing. Oh wow.

    Horreur Sympathique

    Sweet, cool, sophisticated. The grapes are so soft and subdued here, and this is just a lovely berry floral that is perfectly balanced. So elegant!

    Seraphim

    This smells just like the Tinkerbell face powder I had when I was little! Oh man, I LOVED that smell...I'd put the powder on just to be able to open the compact and take a whiff. Maybe it's the lily-rose combination. Whatever it is, this is so warm and lovely. Mmmmm...

    Kuang Shi

    This scent seems to fade on contact with my skin. It smells like a pale sandalwood and tropical fruit loops! Hmmm, maybe that's just as well. It's not bad or anything, it just smells a little too much like scratch'n sniff stickers.

    New Orleans

    Ah, the kind of jasmine that loves me! As it dries, it blends perfectly with the honeysuckle, making this sweet, assertive floral bouquet o' lusciousness. Sexy, sweet, and so worth a bottle.

    Perversion

    I don't smell the chardonnay at all, but this is a balanced scent...very unisex. It smells sweet yet earthy, very grounded. And something is powdering out (maybe the chardonnay), but THAT even smells great in this blend. It's that good.
  18. savage_rose

    Dracul

    Mint, mint, mint, dark spice, mint. Sigh. In the imp, this is much more balanced. And underneath all that mint, I can smell the spicy clove, and the sweet orange blossom. It's very nice, it's just so minty on me it should be a Yule. Vlad's Christmas Story .

    Death Cap

    This is lovely! It starts out as a lovely dessert, sweet coconut milk with a hint of pineapple. Later the foodiness dies down a bit, and it's just a sweet vanilla-coconut incense, with an aquatic-metal undertone. I wasn't expecting it to be this nice.

    Saturnalia

    Violet and vetiver, ah how I loathe thee. In certain blends, where you are supporting characters and not the leading roles, you're fine. Some of my favorite blends contain you. But together, you are a disgusting, obnoxious, burning mess. It smells like toxic chemicals and singed hair. This is truly nauseating. Edited to make sense .

    Oberon

    A light floral that can't seem to decide if it should turn to plastic on me, or disappear altogether. I can't believe I'm smelling what everyone else is, this seems so feminine to me. Maybe my skin just absorbs juniper or something.

    Brimstone

    Fermentation is right! You know what fermentation is...rotting. Yuck. Me: :nose wrinking: What does this smell like to you? Hapless nearby husband: :nose wrinkling: Grass? Me: Maybe if a dog peed on it, and then they decided to burn it. Ugh...

    Baron Samedi

    This smells like someone made some moonshine out of gasoline and cherry cough syrup. Yuck!

    Phantom Queen

    This smells very clean and balsamy, with a strong current of floral. And something a bit off, like an herbal/dirt note. Maybe the moss? And something...that smells a bit like elmer's glue? Only good? I like it, it's nice. Not your typical herbal/floral combination.
  25. savage_rose

    Red Devil

    It smells a lot like a subdued Inferno, lighter on the fruit and cinnamon, and with rose or something thrown in (maybe jasmine?). It fades fairly fast, but it's a nice, balanced sort of blend. I like it.
