Ooh, this one is nice. It's warm and dark and musky without being overpowering. *huffs wrist*
-
Wet, this is nice and green and earthy. As it dries, out comes the jasmine in its stompy boots to dance all over the other scents. Which is pretty much what I figured would happen.
-
It's musky and herby and very peppery. It gives off the feeling of something being on fire without anything even close to smoke. Definitely not for me.
-
Berry-flavored Jolly Rancher. That's pretty much all I'm getting.
-
Hmm, it's very light and sweet at first, but then the honeysuckle pulls out the stompy boots and starts to polka all over everything else. Which isn't really bad, since I like honeysuckle, but it's not what I was expecting.
-
This one's mostly straight wood with just a hint of what I think is brown sugar. Maybe. It's nice enough, but it's not for me.
-
Orange soda and citrus-scented furniture polish. That's all I'm getting.
-
This is nice, fresh greenery, light florals and rain. However, it's a bit strong on me and if worn for very long would probably give me a headache. Sadly, must pass on this one.
-
Wet on my skin, it smelled pretty much just like Smut did, which wasn't a good thing as it was far too heavy and musky. Once it dried, however, it seriously mellowed out and got really nice and sexy. I can't pick out any specific notes, but it's really, really nice. Will definitely need more. *g*
-
I haven't quite made up my mind, either, but I'm thinking either the original Beaver Moon or Antikythera Mechanism. *g*
-
At first sniff, this was nicely floral. Then, the dreaded rose came out, wearing its stompy boots, and proceeded to tap dance all over absolutely everything else. Now all I get is old lady rose-scented lotion.
-
I can't really pick anything specific out of this one; it's just very green and herby. I like it, but I don't think I'd wear it enough to justify a bottle.
-
This one is pretty much straight pine on me. And as I have others with more complex-smelling pines, I think I'll give this one a pass.
-
This is pretty much straight butterscotch on me. It's really nice, but I don't know that I'd use an entire bottle.
-
Yep, that's a butter rum cookie, all right. *g* It's a bit boozy without being overpowering, just slightly sweet and a bit spicy. Definitely going to need more of this.
-
This particular Lick It is less medicinal than some of the previous incarnations, but it may still be a bit too strong on the peppermint for me. This one is going to require some thought.
-
Oh, this is lovely. It's wet, piney mint; an almost perfect Christmas scent. I absolutely love it, and am so glad I stuck a decant in my circle order. *g*
-
Yep, that's grapefruit, all right. Lots and lots of grapefruit. Too bad I don't much care for smelling of grapefruit. *g*
-
This smells mainly dark and chemically to me. I think it's in large part due to the blood orange, which makes it smell vaguely of Pledge surrounded by hamster cage. Off to the swaps.
-
On first whiff, the only word coming to mind was 'boring.' As it dried, though, it got a lot more interesting with a hint of rum and leather, a really nice tobacco and something that my nose is determined to call vanilla. It's a nice, subtle scent and I really like it.
-
As much as I want to love this one because of the name, on my skin it's jasmine, jasmine and more jasmine. With just a bit of jasmine for diversity. *shakes head*
-
Oh, this is lovely. It's smooth and warm and spicy, with just enough sweetness. I'll just have to make sure not to wear too much at once. *g*

Opium-laced dreams of flame, plunder, power and fury: dragon’s blood resin, poppy, amber and ylang ylang. It took me a few minutes, but I finally figured out just what this was reminding me of: the smell of my local New Age bookshop, almost exactly. Sadly, that is the kind of smell that gives me a headache after about half and hour.
