Very reminiscent of Snow White on me. I get just a bit of milk and no carnation in this scent. On me, this is almost all snow/rose. There is something in the back to round it out. If you like Snow White, Pink Snowballs, etc, you'll like this one, but I'm not sure this is necessary given how similar it is to other scents.

The icy 'frostbitten' note over the blackcurrant/rose foody scent of Knave of Hearts. Smells just like the original with cold snow over top.
-
As others have mentioned, very similar to P%$S. Sugary lime-lemon flavor. I do not get any peppermint and this is far more lime than lemon on me.
-
A mix of lotus root and pine. The scent is dominated by the sweet, floral, rooty smell I associate with lotus root, but there is enough pine to pick it out. I'm more of a pine lover, so this isn't for me, but it's certainly pretty in a pine/floral/root way.
-
Heavy on the butterscotch. I do get coffee in this scent on me, but it's more like ordering a butterscotch latte and the barista's hand slipped when adding the butterscotch flavor, so almost all I can smell is butterscotch. Sweet and sugary, I was hoping for more coffee.
-
Sugary, peppermint candies are up front for me in this scent. It's not a sharp mint scent, very mellowed out by the sugar. I get just enough gingerbread in the background to pick it out, but sugary sweet mint definitely dominates this scent.
-
Very cardamom heavy on me, a little bit of coffee on the side. Smells more like chai. I don't get any vanilla.
-
Dirt and pine, more dirt than fir needles though. Brings to mind fallen pine needles in the freshly turned earth. I'm a fan.
-
Much more of a wood scent than a pine scent. The red oud brings out a more fresh lumber side to the balsam. It's nice, but not for me, I was hoping for an evergreen scent.
-
Pure pine, I only get pepper after it wears for a while. Even then, I almost cannot pick out the pepper on its own, but it adds a noticeable kick to the pine. Would recommend for pine lovers.
-
Lemon and neroli. The lemon is the more abrasive sort I associate with verbena. The neroli and petitgrain are present from the get go and get stronger with the dry down, giving the scent a strong plant edge to it. The lemon/verbena dominates a few hours after application again. Overall, a very yellow/plant smelling scent, living up to its name, but as someone who loves lemon and not neroli, this was just okay for me.
-
Pumpkin latte version of Miskatonic Unversity. I was hoping this would be less sweet (Miskatonic University smells more like sugar, cream, and caramel on me than coffee), but if anything it's sweeter than MU. If you like MU, definitely worth a try.
-
Pure raspberry on me. I can't pick out the benzoin, but I think it's keeping the raspberry on the tart side. Overall, the scent smells like bitting into a ripe raspberry. On the simple side, but I think this is great for raspberry lovers.
-
Mix of cream soda and ginger ale on me. I get the fizzy, soda and lemon part. In addition, it's surprisingly sweet on me, in a particular creamy way.

There Arose Such a Clatter

Mix of egg nog and gingerbread. It starts being more gingerbread, very sweet and cookie smelling. Later, it's more equal parts egg nog and gingerbread. Very foodie and pretty much holiday treats in a bottle. -
A clamorous cacophony of obstreperous, rowdy smells: blood orange, lemon peel, sugar syrup, tangerine, pink peppercorn, tuberose, mango, melon, white tea, and gunpowder detonated by napalm accord and a bombastic, fiery scarlet musk. On me, it's a mix of fruits that leans more citrus (orange citrus, I don't smell lemon on me). I can smell the tuberose and the white tea in the background, giving the scent a more floral edge to it. I do not get any of the bomb part of the scent, just orange, mix of other fruits, and some mild florals.

Favorite of the Lilith's this year. Pine and lavender! I do get Dorian and bergamot, but very much in the background. It reminds me of The Wolves Howled, the Ravens Screamed, but more welcoming and brighter.
-
Blackcurrant and cistus. A most sophisticated, almost jammy, fruit scent. I'm not getting as much of the sugar. The scent almost has this 'wet' quality to it, though I'm not sure where it's coming from.
-
Very sweet, sugary rose on my. I'm guessing that's the combo of rose and vanilla bourbon. I do get a kick from the carrot seed, but overall, it's a very sweet, youthful, and airy rose scent. I feel like I have a number of scents that are similar and the carrot seed doesn't do enough to set this particular scent apart.
-
Plum with blackcurrant, and a lot of mint. At first, on me, the plum and mint are tied, as it wears, the mint wins out, with the fruit be relegated to the background. An interesting play on a winter minty scent, but ultimately not for me.
-
The scent on me is dominate by Dorian and white musk, light bit of tea leaf and lime. I'm not smelling the lavender at all. More of a sophisticated cologne scent.
-
Neroli and lemon verbena. As it wears, the rose water starts to come out. Pretty green and herbal in my opinion, though it sweetens with the rose water.
-
Mostly red vines on me, an sugary, artificial candy smell. I get a little bit of popcorn, but no cream soda. Sadly, not for me.
-
This is not for me. Upon first application, I get mostly white musk, with a touch of lime, but it's really sharp smelling and reminds me of rubbing alcohol. Like I can tell it's meant to be lime and musk, but it went wrong on my skin. As it wears, I get a nice, plain white musk scent, but only when the lime is completely gone, which happens fairly quickly.
