I thought I was going to love this! In the vial: sugar and bitter rose. On my skin: a flash of sugar and strong, bitter rose. Dry: now the sugar is gone, and all that is left is strong bitter rose. I don't like it, I had really high hopes (no pun intended!) for this, Sugar + Rose = The rose is too bitter for me, like the rose note in Lady Luck Blues A few hours later, the rose had softened a little, and smells sweeter, now the sugar has returned, but the rose is still has the bitter edge. I will try this again in time, just in case... If I have a different opinion then I will come back and edit this review.

In the vial strong sugary sweetness. On wet strong dark sugar, then I can smell a spice in there! This definitely reminds me of Pink Moon 07! Whee! I like Pink Moon 07! Dry it stills smells the same, the sugar has mellowed out, but it is lovely! I am so glad I have 2 bottles of this on the way!! Tomorrow, I am going to put SS on one wrist and PM 07 on the other and compare them!! I can imagine this being absolutely gorgeous in a body butter! Edit: I now have 2 bottles (another 3 on the way), one is the '06 version, the other '07 The only difference between the two is that the '06 version is stronger, and lasts longer, which I suspect is because of the aging! Whee! I have an '05 version on the way, I can't wait to try that one!! I will have a total of 5 bottles and I want more, it is sooo lovely!! Oh, yes, definitely Pink Moon '07 variation, I am very happy woman! I said that this would be gorgeous scenting a body butter, and it is!

In the bottle I can smell a sharp rose, and then a touch of honey. On my skin, all I can smell is the sharp. harsh rose note, it makes me feel sick! Now it has dried it has morphed into a softer honey rose, then rounds out even more to a sweeter floral, I think I can smell the vanilla flower. It has been on my wrist for about 20 minutes it has faded to a barely there sweet floral. If it hadn't been for the awful wet stage, I would really like this, but I can't put up with that really sharp, harsh first wet note, it does make me feel sick!

Oh, whoops! Sorry!! Thank you for the replies though! I like the honey, sugary sweetness, with the underlying fruit/floral! I've discovered that I love sweet scents! I have got Midnight coming in an order! It should be here very soon! Thanks for the link to the thread!

Right, I hope I am posting this in the right place!!! I love Pink Phoenix, and I also adore Pink Moon, 05 & 07. Are there any GC scents that have similar notes, so I can stock up on scents I can lay my hands on!! I have managed to find two bottles of Pink Phoenix, but no joy with either of the Pink Moons! So I need to get my fix of these gorgeous scents (she says hopefully!) from the GC collection. Any ideas? TIA!

My first review! I feel nervous, but I wanted to do it, because I love reading the reviews, so it is nice to contribute something back! I first put this on last night before bed, and I thought WOW, I love this this! In the bottle, to my untrained nose, its smells fruity, berry fruits, that is all I can smell. Wet: Sweet and chocolately, that must be the vanilla and honey, it very quickly morphs into honeyed berry fruits, rather than the vanilla, but still sweet. Dry: This has settled into a beautiful delicate honeyed vanilla scent on my skin, and I love it! I could still smell it this morning when I got up (so it lasted 9 hours!), and I just HAD to reapply some, I am so glad that I have another bottle of this coming!! YUM! Last night while cuddled up with my husband, he kept sniffing, and finally said, 'I keep getting wafts of baby powder!' I don't think it smells like baby powder at all!

I just received this as a sample, it was included in the ebay items that I won, thank you! This is my first review! When I took off the cap, it smelt familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it, I just knew that I loved it! Just applied and still the same thoughts as above. After about 15 minutes, I thought I could smell a warm spicy cinnamon note in there, and a floral smell too, gardenia? 2 hours in and the scent is still going strong, it smells so warm, spicy-floral and comforting. A lovely scent!! I would say the cinnamon is still the prominent note in here! Yum!
