This is a really upbeat and fun scent. Starts with an intense blast of bubblegum, like sticking your nose in a gum wrapper. After drydown the musk and lime starts to come out, giving it a sweet sort of zesty-ness. I don't personally get much mango, just that sugary sweet lime and bubble gum. Perfect for summer.

A light sweet floral. At first the violets and lillies are the most prominent, but not overly aggressive. Once they fade a bit the sweetness of the wild berries comes out and is really pleasant. Overall a nice gentle spring floral with low throw. I don't hate florals but I'm also not the biggest floral person, so this strikes a nice midpoint.

This smells fantastic wet. All mango and a little amber, yum. But when it dries it goes kind of waxy and into mango candle territory.

It's interesting because I have a decant of this and a bottle and they smell slightly different. The decant is all cardamom, myrrh, and fir and no coffee scent at all. The bottle adds an almost chocolatey coffee bean. I'm not really getting the Morocco vibes that other people have mentioned- which is good for me because Morocco gives me a headache. I liked this enough to grab a half bottle but the one thing that stopped me from getting a full is that it doesn't last as long as I'd like it to. But while it's here it's really nice.

This starts off predominantly cotton with a bit of sweet marshmallow. Then the lemony frankincense comes into the mix, and so the whole thing is kind of a nice fresh laundry type smell, with a little sweetness. It's cozy and pleasant, and I think I'm going to really enjoy this one.

This starts off nice- sweet spices and I can smell the carnation underneath. But then it takes a turn, and goes very milky-sweet cardamom on me. Very foodie, or maybe a little like chai. It's just shy of making my stomach turn, which is disappointing since it's so well-loved.

This one goes through a few stages on me. In the bottle & first applied it's very strong on the neroli. So much that it might chase some people off. (also, heads up, it's very yellow when applied, but does fade reasonably quickly) On the drydown, the frankincense and verbena take over, and it's a nice fresh scent. In the end it fades to a really pleasing rose. I'm not even much of a rose lover, but it's light enough not to be overpowering. I think I might need a bottle.

This smells like a Christmas craft fair in a church basement. I mean that in a good way, like sweet spices in homemade ornaments. It's a little strong at first, but once it calms down, it's a lovely pomegranate and bay leaf scent, and all the ingredients blend nicely.

It starts out strong with the hay, along with some greenness and what I think is the sugarcane. Somehow sweet and grassy/wet at the same time. Once dry it got really patchouli forward on me. Maybe I amp it- I don't know. Decent throw and wear length. I think without the patchouli I would have loved this, but it's not quite for me.

For me it's all chocolate and lime at first, zesty and refreshing, and then the coconut shows up after a while. This is a perfect summer scent, but not overwhelmingly sunblock smelling or anything. It makes me want to lay out in the sun or have a party. Surprisingly nice.

If this was available in a bottle, I would get it. While wet, it's super sweet cherry with a definite buttery crust smell. (It almost makes me think of the gum in willy wonka) After a while on me, the crust kind of disappears though, and is just a light cream scent. Overall really nice, if you like sweet foodie scents.

It smells exactly like a blowpop straight out of the imp. After a while, it's more of a musky sour candy scent.

This is an interesting scent. Wet I can smell the sage and tomato, it's very much like soup or herbs. On my skin it goes in a bizarre direction and to me smells exactly like the beach. Like lying wet with saltwater in the sand, and an underlying sunblock smell. It's so strange, but made me really nostalgic.
