It's a nice floral. The lily of the valley is a little strong.
-
In the bottle it's a nice, velvety floral, but there's something in it that smells...off. I'm not sure what it is, but there's something in it that smells so dusty that I want to sneeze. Except there's no dust.
-
It's very fresh and the lemon verbena dominates. Unfortunately, it smells just like Pledge on me.
-
This is a very nice floral spoiled by bergamot. I really dislike bergamot.
-
It smells like dirt, and bitter chocolate, and a cellar.
-
There's a fieryness to this scent, and also a bubble-gum like sweetness. It almost instantly fades to a soft woodsy scent.
-
It doesn't smell so much Roman as Italian. And Italian as in Italian food. The bay and rosemary really dominate and it smells like my pantry. All I need now is a touch of oregano and I'm all set to cook dinner
-
Very fresh and citrus-y. I don't care for the tea and pepper combo. It's a food scent so I wasn't expecting to like it anyways.
-
Oohh-- musky myrrh. This might be better than expected. On my skin it morphs to something buttery. I can definitely smell the honey and cognac. Ultimately, it becomes very dusty and full of patchouli. It's not me.
-
It starts out very aquatic and thick. Then it gets darker and even thicker. There is a bit of a soapy white floral, too.
-
Ugh. It smells like dirty, sweaty wine and roses that have rotted and gone bad. But dragon's blood and I are mortal enemies. I should have known better than to try this one.
-
This smells like a dirty, boozy floral. Not my style.
-
This is actually kind of fruity, and green, and woodsy. Like juniper berries. And there's a coldness, a crispness to this scent. It reminds me a bit of Capricorn.
-
This is just kind of dry and powdery on me.
-
Mmmm..... apple blossoms The fig adds a sweetness to this perfume. There's also a green-ness...I think that's the hibiscus. Then I smell the soft lilies. I like this one a lot
-
In the imp I smell rosewood. On my skin I smell rosewood. It eventually dries to lily. I'm not sure if I like it. It's similar to a lot of other blends I love, but somehow this one doesn't grab me as a blend, despite the fact that I love a lot of the notes.
-
This was just too muddled for me to make heads or tales of the notes. It's floral--I've got that. Beyond just floral I'm lost. It's just too overly sweet and overly muddled for my tastes.
-
The dusty scents always impress me because I can't wrap my head around how something *wet* can smell and act so dry! I smell the woods (mainly sandalwood) when it's wet, and the flowers come out as it dries. The dust permeates.
-
Asphodel smells like a greenhouse: humidity and plants. Then it dries into a nice, generic floral, and then softly fades away.
-
In the imp it smelled of incense and wood. On my skin it smelled of geraniums (ugh) and wood. Geraniums and I do not get along.
-
Overall, its warm spices and resins, but thankfully no dragon's blood! It's a nice warm spiciness, with a hint of vanilla on the dry-down. It's nice but I don't love it.
-
Wet: orange & lavender. I don't have a good feeling about this. These two can be so strong and so overpowering. Dry: It's citrusy/minty, and ends up smelling just of lemon verbena. It doesn't work for me.
-
In the bottle, it's faint, and high, and once it's on the skin, it develops. The sandalwood comes out, and the calla lily and rose float on top of it. But the notes are all separate-- they don't blend together.
-
In the bottle, it smells of sage and herbs. I get a strong throw of mint, which might be the sweet pea. There's a sweetness to this perfume that is a little much. Too much throw.
