This is a lovely scent- it's very "golden", as others have said. It smelt a little antiseptic in the vial- I'm guessing that's the pine- but it's ended up beautiful almost creamy vanilla on my skin. Wonderful!

I've been searching for a rose scent that's not too powerful, and this is absolutely spot-on! Just what I was looking for, finally! It has good throw as well- I didn't much oil! Really beautiful, especially if you're looking for a sweeter rose scent.

This is a beautiful scent. It smells just like a sweet I used to eat as a kid called Parma Violets. On my skin, it doesn't change very much- which is a good thing, since it's perfect! Absolutely lovely.
-
I loved this in the vial- beautifully woody and minty. However, as with most mint-based scents, my skin ate all traces of the mint and left me with a scent similiar to moss on a rainy day. It wasn't unpleasant, it's just not for me.
-
As other people have said, this is exactly like chocolate brownies. It's gorgeous in the vial, and doesn't change at all when it hits my skin, even over time. But, while I do like foody scents, I don't think this one is for me. It's just a bit TOO sweet.

In the vial, this smelt like butter to me, weirdly. But once I applied it, I was hit by a gorgeous scent of peach with a small amount of pumpkin. After a while, it's settled down into a spicy peachy pumpkin, and it's GOOD.

Orgiastic mayhem in the extreme: sweet strawberry and orange blossom distorted by carnation, black poppy and hibiscus. I didn't really like this in the vial, but I gave it a go regardless. I try everything once! On my skin to begin with, it was very floral, which I dislike. It stayed that way for a while, and when I was tempted to wash it off, it did a complete 180. I smell like strawberry sherbet, my husband keeps threatening to lick my arm, and I'm suddenly very very happy with this scent!

This is absolutely beautiful. In the vial, it's melon, with a hint of something else I can't make out- I'm inexperienced at this! On my skin, it's very very melony, but that's fine with me! As it dries down, it's like a melon tropical smoothie. I went to visit my mum and she said "oh- you smell tropical!" as I walked in, which I'm going to take as a compliment!

In the bottle: It smells like a particular brand of soap I used to use when I was younger- the name escapes me. It's quite a cold scent- I can't smell any fruit, though. On skin wet: I can definitely smell the orchid. I can't smell much else right now, and it's quite a light scent. Dried down: Ah, the fruit's starting to come out now. Not very much, but it's there at least, now. It's a lovely mix of fruit and floral- just right. I think I have a new favourite!
-
In the bottle: Pears! Sweet pears! Oh, I so want to eat that. That's absolutely gorgeous. There's a touch of floral in there, too, but I can't pick out what it is. I'm inexperienced at floral scents. On skin wet: It's mostly musk on me right now- everything else has been eaten. Waiting for the drydown to hope something else comes through! Dried down: It's a very sweet floral- a tinge of pear, with a light musky tinge. I don't usually wear florals so I can't tell yet if this is something I'd wear, but it's certainly a beautiful scent. I think I'll wear it out today and see how I feel, because it is so so beautiful.

In the bottle: I smell this and think of doves- the name is very good. It's a beautiful light scent- I can smell lavender in there, but I can't indentify anything else. On skin wet: Lavender soap. I hope it begins to fade to just lavender, but I'm not having much luck lately with scents that turn to soap. Dried down: It hasn't faded- the soap smell is stronger now. Time to wash it off
-
In the bottle: This reminds me of Tamora in the bottle. It smells peachy to me, even though there's no peach in it! On skin wet: I can smell the wine over anything else right now- it's very strong. It's not unpleasant, though, strangely- I tend to find scents with alcohol in them slightly overpowering, usually. Dried down: Soap. That is such a shame, because this is beautiful in the bottle and on my skin wet.

In the bottle: Cherry Tunes! I don't know if they're a UK only thing, but just in case, they're a delicious type of sweets you eat when you have a cold. Which has just reminded me I haven't seen them in forever... Hmm. Anyway! On skin wet: Not another fruit scent that wants to turn to soap...! I need to work out what that is doing that, damn it! This time it did it instantly as well. I didn't even get a single hint of anything else before it turned. Dried down: Soap. Again. Argh...

Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits. This is the 2005 version. In the bottle: I can't pick anything out on this- perhaps maple syrup? It's very very strong, though. On skin wet: Yup, exactly like maple syrup. It's very overpowering. Dried down: Burnt butter popcorn, oh dear. Time to wash this off!

In the bottle: Vanilla mint, just as described! It smells like something I eat at Christmas that I don't remember the name of. Argh! That's going to bug me now. On skin wet: The "thing I eat at Christmas" smell is even stronger! I THINK it's mint wafers or something. It's delicious smelling, though. Dried down: Finally, a mint scent that my skin doesn't eat! It's a gorgeous vanilla mint- the mint isn't as strong as I'd like, but even if it dries out completely throughout the day, the vanilla it's left is still lovely.
