Bold, bright mandarin paired with the sweet, sensual earthiness of fig. Carnal is a nice spring scent. I kept thinking it smelled like something and all I could think of was pearberry and BPAL Juliet. Pears are the scents from both of those that stuck with me. That is how Carnal stands out on me.

Persephone is just a crisp clear rose. It's not too much. Kinda like getting that single red rose and that initial sniff. It lasted for hours. It was such a nice freebie from an ebay purchase.

OMFG!!!! I about died when I opened the bottle. Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay is all that I could think of when I took my initial sniff. It smells so good. Then a hint of peppermint and butter cookies. It reminded me of partying at the cemetary. I know very tacky, but we used to party at an old civil war cemetary. When the fog rolled in it was just eery. Or dare I say it, spooky. As the different scents faded and more mingled in, I ended up smelling a bit smokey and pepperminty.

Mmmm Vanilla and sandalwood on me. It smelled so marine like in the bottle that I was surprised by the scent when I put it on. It still has a marine (aquatic) scent to it through out the six hours that I could smell it, but the vanilla faded and the sandalwood stayed strong. A nice mingling of scents full of great memories. it's so good!

I wanted to love this one, but all I got out of it was cough syrup. Robitussin DM to be exact. Bummer...

So, I'm no tthe only one that thinks of royalty when smelling this one on their man. The lavendar isn't that feminine scent for sashes. It is the fresh picked strong scents of lavendar that royalty would surround themselves with. The musk (not a dark one) is the undertone with the citrus scents kind of lingering in the air. A manly scent for a gentleman.

Gift and I intend to use it while staying in Paris for a few days over Winter Break. It embodies the scents that I expect to smell in the French Boutiques. If you've been - let me know if I'm right. I know it's corny, but I am collecting the Wanderlust scents for all the European countries that I intend to visit during my DH's three year tour. This is my first stop...Paris in the winter. I just know that this will put me in the mood to be there.

So, I am a Wanderlust fan. I totally wish that Beth would make a bundle package of these. I'd be hopping on that list asap! Silk Road is my neck and neck competition with Morocco. They both bring the inscents together with such wonder. My DH says it smells like walking through the market in Baghdad (hope I spelled that right). If that's the case, I'm going on his next trip. Definitely a Keeper this one!

I only tried this once and I knew that I wouldn't be able to try it again. Luckily it was SRN's imp that I was sampling. This is the ultimate comparison of Hubba Bubba Bubble gum that I could come up with. My niece would love it!

I was so happy when SRN parted with this one. Much love to her . I am adoring CC. The lavendar and grapefruit are the dominant scents for me. The red currant comes in and then fades to the back. I fell asleep reviewing this scent on paper. I'm going to try to use it with my next meditation and see if it brings me deeper.

The damp red rose sent my heart a flutter, but the leather just didn't utter the right notions to my nose. So unfortunately, it was quickly snatched by my mother-in-law. Told me that it work well for her in the future. Ok, not for me, but it was a nice scent I just couldn't do the leather.

A scent to be worn to mass. This embodies the scent of an angel. Beautiful and I adore the sandalwood and rosewood. Not sure of the lily, but it is beginning to blend with the other notes and send dreams of heaven my way.

Brisingamen - need I say more. Wearing this must be what it felt like to wear the necklace of Freyja. It definitely brings the men. I love it, but dh has a no public policy on this one. I and graciously thank thee for this magnificent blend. Living with the parents for a bit during the transfer needed a little spike in the sex dept. This does the job. DH relays his gratitude too!

Named after the primordial ocean of milk where Lord Vishnu reclines upon the thousand-headed Naga. Sweet milk and warm, healing ginger with a touch of golden honey and our blend of Ambrosia. The Ambrosia is what hit me in the description. I love Ambrosia, especially when it is warm and has a touch of milk added to it. All I could think of was Renaissance Faire. Sitting by a campfire and drinking that sweet Ambrosia. MMMMMMMM This smells exactly like my thoughts.

The fresh scent of tulips is what I smelled as soon as I opened the bottle. When I put it on, it took on an early morning rain scent. It stayed wet as it dried down and the tulips just took over in the most glorious way. It lasted almost eight hours without a touch up and the tulips were the note that lingered until then.

Water of Notre Dame is very calming. Add this to a massage oil and I'd be in pure bliss. It's a very aquatic scent. I would have to compare it to one of the coastal waterways - where fresh meets salt water and they mix within the currents.

I was so worried about trying this scent, but I really wanted to. Being Hurricane season and currently staying on the coast - it's perfect timing. The vetivert was my worry it usually turns very smokey on me and it didn't this time. It smells like the eye of the storm. When everything calms down, but there's a sense of electricity in the air because the storm is going to roar again. I can see the different colors of the clouds just mixing together - pinks, greens, yellows, grays, whites and so many more. I can really picture myself standing on my parent's back patio while the eye of Hurricane Hugo passed over.

This is a very sensual scent for me. It brings the spice and sweetness together very well. I feel like a woman in every essence of the word while wearing this.

A lovely gift from SoapyRn! I have been waiting for this for quite a bit and it has held true to what has been described. It starts out as a mixture of fruits: melons and pomegranite. As it dries down I get a touch of a floral scent, but the melon is still strong. I'm totally loving it!!

Tempest!!!! It is the best rain scent that I've tried. Not the downpour, but the gentle sprinkle of rain and the mist it brings.

OOOOH this is sooo gooooood!!!! At first I thought it was very perfumey, but it has dried down so soft, powdery floral. It's not too powdery. More like the pretty scented powder you dust on before sex.

I just got this today. A lovely swap with Kagami! The first thing I could smell was the neroli. Then definitely the almond and sandalwood. I don't get any orange peel. As it dried down the Bulgarian Rose kinda just peeked out. I am so happy with this swap!!!!!

When I opened this bottle I was waiting for the aquatic notes to jump out at me and I got gardenia. As it says bold, it definitely is. I had to put my feelings aside on the gardenia and tested it. The gardenia was prevelant from wet to dry. Off to swap!

The first thing that I sniffed was the orris. It was almost overpowering to me, but as soon as I put it on the bergamot and grapfruit were in the mix. The orris died down and I could smell the plum. After it was dry, I could really smell the bergamot, plum and grapefruit. The orris was still there, but not as strong. I never picked out the black amber, but it could have been there just hiding a bit. This is a nice herbal scent after an hour or so.

This scent is so yummy!!! It starts out with blackberry and green tea as soon as you open the bottle. When it's put on, the berries become stronger and just hold on while the sage, musk come in. Wonderful scent!
