I get a big ol' snoutful of myrrh, even before I open the decant. On me, it's predominantly myrrh, sweet almond, and rum spices. The other notes meld into, and support these notes. Dry, warm, musky, resinous.
-
A grounded, honeyed floral. Too floral for me.
-
It's 84 degrees F here indoors, and I'm getting a fresh, bitter, green neroli. There's a hint of orange fruit, but this is noticeably bitter neroli to me. This is great for summer--not too sweet.
-
Bitter coffee and musky alcohol. The pumpkin spices probably contribute to the flat and dark quality of this scent, too.
-
Yum! A soft cloud of lemony mango. I'm addicted and want to wear this every day. Might get a backup.

Had high hopes for this one, as I'd heard such good things about it. Gave me an instant headache both of the times that I tried it. I like patchouli, vetiver, and vanilla. And I've liked other scents with myrrh, so maybe it's some combination of those that I can't take.

Strawberry amber chypre. Refreshing, airy, and not too sweet. Kind of a lighter fragrance after it dries, but it lasts for a long time in my hair.

When I first got this, I was iffy about it. But recently, I had to cover up an unpleasant odor in the bathroom (not mine!) and sprayed this on the cloth shower curtain. A couple of minutes later, the offending odor was gone and in its place was a sparkly musk with a touch of sweetness! It's gorgeous and smells fresh and crisp with a soft, sweet non-foody vanilla in the background.

Wet: A little bit spiced, like a cocoa-dusted cookie. Dry: Smoky, perfumy amber jumps in. Wow, this one is super strong. Drydown: waxy, perfumy amber. Getting a distinct cotton note here, as well.

Sweet peach and incense. There's not much vanilla to my nose.
-
When first applied, there's this green, leafy note with the soft sandalwood and frankincense. On the drydown, it's waxy and warm, with a light woody-resinous base.
-
Airy fresh rose, with cherry providing some fruity sweetness. Like a more airy, less sweet and less lemony Lush Rose Jam.
-
2019 version: On me, this is a round, soft, peachy, musky amber. It does have a bit of saltiness, which cuts down on the sweetness. I really like this scent and am going to buy the hair gloss that came out this year.

High-end, fancy oudh incense with a hint of cherry and rose. Not indolic at all. Not bad, but not my style.
-
A little sharp--maybe the musk or the tobacco flower. Soapy and a little heady overall.
