Sandalwood. Sweet sandalwood, but just sandalwood all the same.
-
I bought this for my other half, who is a Leo, and not only does she really like it, I must say it's quite a sexy scent indeed. Lots of amber and spices, and it has a lot of staying power- every time I catch a whiff I go weak at the knees!
-
I love this. I was concerned about the lavender, but it's not at all prominent on me. The result is a very clean, cool scent with more complexity than I usually find in a "clean" smelling perfume. The florals are present but not overpowering. It lasts a good long time on me, although it's never overpoweringly strong.

In the imp and when I put it on there is a strong smell of honeydew, or some other melon. It's yummy... but then the amber amps to pure baby powder and totally ruins it. ...I still have no idea where the honeydew smell is coming from.
-
Wow. This is REALLY foody, which I like but might not work for most people. It's very sweet, I'm definitely getting the cakes. When it went on I thought I smelled salty buttered popcorn! But that went away once it hit my skin. There's also something almost sharp behind the cakey stuff - the currants? I LOVE it.

The scent of calm waters just before a raging storm, limned with achingly-beautiful blooms, an icy scent, but somehow warm, and mirror-bright: bold gardenia, crystalline musk, muguet, water blossoms, clear, slightly tart aquatic notes and a crush of white ginger. Wet, I can smell all the different components, aquatics, ginger, the whole works. Dry, it smells oddly like celery... not BAD, but celery-ish all the same. It doesn't change from the celery, so I think I'll give it to my friend that loves gardenia.
-
It goes on smelling like candy. Dries into a powdery/perfumey floral, maybe a little too floral for me. I'll probably swap it or give it away, although it's a nice scent. It just needs someone who likes florals a little more.
-
Going on there's a LOT of lime... as it dries, the musk comes out. It almost seems to make the lime smell 'dirty'. Unfortunately, it stays that way... dirty, slightly sweaty lime.
-
It smells strongly of herbs and lemon... not really pleasant. I haven't had a chance to test its effectiveness!
-
A very pale orchid, a delicate and perfumey floral. Is there rose in this? It's going a little soapy.
-
I can't really weigh in on this one because the rose turns to pure soap. Oh well. Try it if rose DOESN'T do that to you.
-
... Corrupted black plum, smoky opium and crumbling dead roses covered by a deceptive veil of Hungarian lilac, white gardenia and wild berry. I'm surprised I like this one, but I do! It's a sweet, yummy floral-plum thing on me, really nice. The roses don't show themselves, thank God - they always turn to pure soap on my skin.
-
A lot of lemon and mint. Some creamy musk in the background... it doesn't really work on me, it seems sharp and unbalanced.
-
Oh, this is delicious! Creamy musk and coconut. I can smell the hazelnut too, but it doesn't take over, thank God. I love it!
-
A lot of mint and lemon... very sharp! Something creamy in the background?
-
I've got a lot of smokey wood. I can't even smell the violet. It's a pretty nice, complex resin blend, but I can't imagine wearing it too often.
-
Too much lavender. I just can't wear floral blends and that's all there is too it. They turn into boring, clashing messes. Alas.
-
This actually smells like White Moon on me. A pale floral blend. It's nice, but unremarkable... I don't think I'll wear it that much, so off to the swaps!
-
Starts off smelling of very loud, green florals... more like a flower STEM than anything else. On me, the rose turns to soap in no time (as roses always do, ) so I don't know how it would have dried down. All I can smell is frankincense and soap.
-
Hmm... I definitely smell the tobacco and resins... it's not really for me, honestly, but it lives up to its description. Nicely done but not something I'd wear.
-
This is a LOT of resin, faintly spicy/smoky? I smell a lot of ceder... I don't really like it, but resins never work on me and honestly, I don't really like them. (it was a frimp) It's very nice and well-blended, though, so if you like resins, go for it!
-
Why am I the only one who did get a lot of hot, spicy rage out of this one? After reading the reviews I thought it might be mellower than the description said ... but no! It's all dragon's blood, and it's hot and burns my nose like curry ... and it looks like I'm the only person who doesn't want it to be hot and spicy. Oh woe!
-
I'm not getting any of the green everyone else is! On me it's all bright, shrill blue, a very ozone-y aquatic. I don't really like it, it's very artificial-smelling ... too much ozone.
-
This smells like the scent in a nice scented soap. Very floral, white, and pretty. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. It might be a little, well, boring on me, but it definitely deserves another test.
-
Not for me. The herbs are very sharp and green, overpowering the berry note. I was hoping for something juicy and sweet, instead it's choked and sharp on me. Oh well.
