I adore this scent - and it is a lot like milk moon it's sweet without beinf overpoweringly sweet (and in that aspect it reminds me of chaste moon - only without the floral). the coconut is not overpowering and luckily doesn't have that suntan-oil stench to it that a lot of coconut frangraces can develop. amazingly enough it stays light without dissappearing on my alltogether which is a refreshing change, it lasts for several hours, drying down to a very pleasant milky sweetness that's very comforting. really perfect for summer.

i smell the sugar and musk but i don't really find it to be autumnual and the boozyness dissapears on me very very quickly. the later stages of the drydown smell JUST like Storyville to me (minus the praline aspect), just sugary with a medium strength musk. oddly enough, if i had to assign a color to this fragrance it would be pink.

well lets start off with the fact that this is one of my personal favorite scents. It's always perfect and it lifts my mood every time i wear it. the dominant scent from start to finish is Pear, but it's a complex scent that has a lot of secondary secents competing and weaving together - the second note is the gardenia (a floral that brings a touch of sweetness , but not cloying) and a tartness that's like apples or blackberries (probably the plum). I can smell the similarities to Glitter and Fruit Moon ... and maybe a tiny bit of Fee. The scent does't change much on me, except the gardenia gets almost as strong as the pear an hour or so in.

this is pure, unadulturated strong rose on me. pure lush rose, nothing else. no green, JUST a strong feminine rose. It has a ton of throw and amazing lasting power, though towards the end of it's drydown it goes just slightly soapy on me. not a favorite of my husband's but i love it

oh my goodness, i love this scent so much. i wish i didn't love it so much actually because all i have is an imp The blackberry is just lovely, very much as in Monsterbait; Closet only without the sweetness. The apples scent is very crisp, more like tart green apples then red apples. the combination is what i expected Eris to smell like actually. it's a very bright fruity scent without any darkness or heavyness, but the autumn-ness is there in the form of a tiny bit of spice (is it autumn leaves? cider? it's just a hint but it brings out a fall sensibility in the blend). dries down to a very mild scent after only 1/2 an hour.

this is nice! i get mostly sweet cream from it and posibly vanilla. i don't like actual eggnog but i just LOVE this scent. beautifull sweet and foody without being too pungent in it's sweetness. this scent rates all of the rave reviews it gets.

in the bottle it smells fresh and green w/ a bit of sweet lemon in it (like if you dropped some lemonhead candy in the grass) - the green scent reminds be of the green note in Beltane (without the floral aspect) and for me the sweetness and lemon balance out nicely. after a 1/2 hour on me it goes VERY powdery/sweet, like babypowder and musk. it develops an incredible throw though it starts out pretty mild. about 2 hours after that it gets a bit milder, but the warm and sweet pawdery notes remain strongest w/ the greeness far in the background and the lemony note completely gone. delicious!

when wet, all i get is hazelnut coffee, i love love love this scent wet. Even as it dries down it retains a lot of it's warm and yummy hazelnutty flavor. Unfortunately after about 3 hours when it is completely dry and entering it's last stages the lovely coffee smell goes completely away leaving a hint of warm pipe tobacco scent. I'm ok with the tobacco scent, but it's very close to what i get from Grog (which is all pipe tobacco on me).

I get a very clean, green and floral scent (the floral has no sweetness), very similar Amsterdam, and to a lesser degree to the Unicorn. IT's more complex than Amsterdam and the background is more like green grass which makes it slightly more piquant. it's a very young, clean and innocent sort of scent.
-
very sweet but not sickeningly so. I smell sugar and caramel and (maybe it's just my personal chemistry) a hint of sweet pipe tobacco. Caramel scents can go a bit sharp on me but this one remains middling-to mild while maintaining a really nice full bodied presence. on me it smells like sugar skull layered over a bit of MB: Underpants and a wee bit of Grog.

this smells like almond absolute and cinnamon on me, definately foody and spicy. I'd say it's like Decadence and Inferno mixed together. The almond scent is very strng, especially when wet, though it dries down to something more complex and less foody. The cinnamon dries down to a more complex spice. This is one of my new favorite scents, very powerful and absolutely delicious.
-
ah, Amsterdam, one of my favorite scents. It always reminds me a bit of Estee Lauder's Pleasures - it has a wonderfully clean and springy scent, and the floral is very clean and clear instead of sweet. You might like it if you like Roadhouse and the Unicorn (it's more like Unicorn or like Roadhouse without the booze). It's a very uncomplicated, almost childlike scent.
-
I have to agree with the Smut comparisons, though on me it's slightly less sweet than Smut and has far less impact than Red Lantern (which was a bit overpowering for me). It's a fantastic scent though, complex and interesting with medium staying-power.

i smell a lot of inscence here ... kind of smokey and a little dark with a lot of strength behind it. my husband thinks it smells a bit like cologne and inscence, lol.
