It starts out as something lovely and true to description, and then turns into lime-tobacco-eraser. It's not bad, but it's definitely better in the imp than it is on me.

This scent just kind of fades to nothing on me...vaguely fruity, vaguely spicy. Very half-hearted. Sigh.

Such a sexy scent! Spicy musk, rich and redolent with warmth and skin. Mmmm...

Holiday Moon with more of a melon influence...this is a very dignified blend...it doesn't go to sweet on me, it's just perfect.

Although it smells pretty in the bottle, it smells like nothing on me. No throw, but even when I sniff it closely I smell something vaguely floral, and that's it. Boo.

In the bottle this is spicy love, but on it's a clovey patchouli. However, my husband thought it smelled really good, so there you are. And it may be dark, but it's a very warm, energetic blend.

This is a very wet, earthy scent, but very floral also. It's gorgeous, and I put some on in the store and could not stop smelling myself and muttering "I smell so good!" Hey, I seemed crazy, but really nicely scented. I have priorities.

Sooo beautiful...tropical flowers and fruits mingling together, forming the perfect warm, languid summer scent. Mmmmm.

This scent smells bizarrely of pickles and wet, green wood on me. And a bit like glue. Definitely something different!

An intoxicating floral! It's not too sweet, and the incense background is a perfect complement to the tangy floral foreground. This scent is LOVE.

This is so beautiful...on me, it smells like a beautiful spring garden with a hint of citrus. I just want to bury my nose in it, it smells so delicious.

Something, the honey probably, is amping on my skin like crazy. It smells like really nice incense and something shrieky and sweet. Ugh, good God, no.

For some reason this scent name makes me think of that old Steely Dan song "Deacon Blues". Soft sandalwood and an understated cologne. And an undercurrent of coconut...very subtle, but rich and just sweet enough to be a mellow, fireside-type of blend. Very nice.

This scent is delicious...green grass and dewy cucumber. Very sweet and green. I love this!

Jack is such a buttery pumpkin that I get almost nauseated opening the vial. And I've tried putting it on before, it's so PUMPKIN that it's like those old stereo commercials where the sound is so loud the guy's hair flies back like he's flying? That's what this pumpkin did to me. But I braved the imp and put the tiniest dab on, and it smells quite nice. I think I prefer the pumpkin patch blends, but in minute amounts, I can even enjoy something this pumpkin-y. YAY!

I can smell the honey, but then it starts smelling soapy and herbal on top of that. It smells like really great shampoo. A great blend to apply to my hair if I want people to think I've washed it when I haven't, but otherwise, it's not that great on me.

Red hots! From the moment this touched my skin, that's all I can smell...sugar and cinnamon. This is not something I'd want to smell like often, but it's not bad.

This scent is a great example of why I can never just rule out vetiver. It smells mainly musky, but the mullein mellows it out a bit and the myrrh lends it a bit of somber sweetness. I think one of the musks is powdering out, but it just lightens the blend and keeps it from being too sharp. It's just a nice, sweetish, dark scent.

Really, really sexy aftershave. I want to hit on myself and ask me where I've been all my life! As nice as it smells on me, I can't wait to slather it on the husband when he comes home. I'll bet it will smell even better on him.

All I can smell is the cedar, vetiver, and olive leaf. I smell like furniture. Furniture that you find at Pier One Imports, or World Market...made out of some wood you've never heard of. Not unpleasant, but not great either.

This blend defies its description on me...it smells like dancing, happy flowers (peony? lily?), with a vague fruitiness that is bubbly and light. There's something woodsy in there, but it's more dappled woodlands than dreary night forest. A very sweet floral.

Ozoney yet aquatic, and just a little effervescent and rooty (think Penitence). The rum breaks through every once in a while, smelling earthy and spicy. It smells like high seas adventure...really light and fun, if not something I'd wear everyday. 2 hours later, and not only is it still present, but it's become rooty and rummy, and so very delightful. Sooo nice...

Whoa, pie crust! Hot, well-cooked pie crust. I can smell a touch of fruit, and a hint of sweet rose. As though tarts were brought on a breakfast tray with a single rose in a vase... It looks like the last reviewer had similar thoughts, but on me the currant and rose are very light, and this is mostly just really strong pastry. But I am SO not complaining! It's still a really nice-smelling blend, even if it's not exactly as balanced as I'd hoped.

The lime and the lily are duking it out...and then settle together, their differences resolved. The sweetness of the lily is nicely matched with the tartness of the lime. And then there's a spiciness, and...it turns to powder. D'oh! It was really exciting until that point.

This blend is CRAY-ZEH at first. Yes, crazy pronounced just like that...mostly it screams ambergris. It smells SO cologney on me, like this craggy old barmaid with a smoker's growl wearing a really low-cut dress, and she won't stop talking to you and cackling, and you just want to get away. Then it kind of calms down into a cologne with a perfectly acceptable throw. But something in this is still smelling kinda like cheap barmaid to me. Perhaps the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but the Tavern of Hell is stocked with cheap barmaids? I'll have to try this again later, maybe it will improve with time.
