It's a white, wet floral with a strengthening hint of cucumber in the background. It's very nice, just not on me.

Oh, this is nice. It's all warm amber and musk and just slightly spicy. I love it.

I really wanted to like Thunder Moon. I really did. Sadly, right out of the bottle it turns into cleaning fluid, or possibly air freshener (the kind that's supposed to smell like rain.) It would make a nice enough room scent, I think, but it simply doesn't work with my chemistry as perfume.

Oh, this is nice. It's slightly fruity and juicy without being overpowering. It's green and wet and has just enough floral to be nice but not enough to overpower everything else. It smells like standing on the edge of a cliff in Ireland and looking down at the crashing waves. I absolutely love it.

The first thing I can smell is the pear, which is nice and light and just slightly juicy. However, the pear is quickly overpowered by the floral, which while fairly light, is still amped way too much on my skin. I'm sure it would be perfectly lovely on someone else, but it just doesn't work with my chemistry. Which is a pity.

Wet, this is mostly grapefruit and jasmine, with just a hint of the vanilla lingering in the background. As it dries, the grapefruit starts to fade and the jasmine gets out its stompy boots and starts kicking butt and taking names. Then, once the jasmine is finished running amok, the whole things just sort of fades away into obscurity. Sadly, this one is definitely not for me. Off to the swaps.

Wet this is a very strong purpleish merlot scent. As it dries the leather comes out to play, but the wet stage is just too strong and juicy for me. Off to the swaps.

I can definitely smell the leather in this, but it's very clean and actually blends very well with the lilac, which I hadn't really thought that it would.

This is delicious. It's mostly coffee, with a hint of cinnamon and what I think is the tobacco. It's somewhat masculine without being too manly, and I love it. I'm sitting here just huffing my wrist and swooning.

Oh, this one is nice. It's fresh and green, but only slightly grassy. It's mostly small spring flowers and dandelions still wet with dew as you walk around barefoot in the damp grass.

On me, this is like sticking your nose into an old cedar chest and just huffing. I like it, but I don't think I want to smell like it.

This is definitely piney and woody, like walking through an evergreen forest on a cool afternoon. Nice, but not quite for me.

Sadly, on my skin this is nothing but rose. And not even real rose, but rose-scented lotion or something. This one is definitely not for me. Off to the swaps.

The first whiff of this was mostly pepper, which had me a bit worried. But luckily the pepper faded almost immediately, letting the moss come out to play, followed quickly by the caramel and something else slightly dusty and spicy that for all I know is the smell of goofer dust. All in all, I like this one a whole lot and will now have to track down a bottle.

This is definitely not what I was expecting. The chocolate is a rather faint cocoa scent that sort of lingers in the background under something else that is more heavily herby and dry. Then it just sort of fades completely away. Sadly this just doesn't work on my skin.

I was really hoping that this one would work on me. Sadly, it turns into an odd mix of light floral and cleaning fluid on my skin. The cleaning fluid scent fades as it dries, but then the florals amp up and completely take over and give me a headache.

Hmm, this is sort of sweet and incensey, but with something I can't identify lingering in the background. Sadly, whatever that mystery note is just doesn't seem to work on me at all.

Oh, this is nice. The amber is very warm and almost snuggly, with a hint of something sort of spicy lingering in the background. It's like putting on your favorite sweater and cozying up in front of the fire. I will definitely have to see about acquiring a bottle.

Rose, rose and yet more rose. It's a soft and sweet rose to be sure, but still a straight up rose. Off to the swaps.

This scent is really interesting. The florals are light, and there's a hint of cider in the background that's really very nice. But as it dries the nice florals and cider fade a bit, and something else takes center stage and gives me a headache. Off to the swaps.

It starts off very dark and musky, then as it dries it lightens up a bit and gets a lot more resinous and spicy, which I like a lot. I don't care much for the wet stage, but dry this is absolutely lovely.

Hmm, this one is interesting. It starts off as a sort of vanilla foody floral, which is kind of cool. Then it goes slightly boozy as it dries, which I don't like as much. It's still not bad, though I don't know if I'd wear it.

Taurus is a nice, softer floral that I rather like, until it dries, that is. Then it goes sort of funny in a way that I can't really describe. I just know that I don't really care for the morph.

This is an almost insanely strong floral on me; in fact, the floral is so strong that it's giving me a slight headache. Sadly, this one is definitely not for me.

*sighs* Well, milk scents are definitely not for me, as Milk Moon almost instantly goes sickeningly sour on me and never looks back. In fact, what it smells like the most is a slightly burnt mix of flour and butter like when you're cooking some sort of sauce. Which is not what I want to smell like.
