    Visions of Autumn II

    Getting the rose geranium right off. There is a fresh, herbal quality to geranium, and I kind of like the added dimension of the rose. After a bit, kind of sour, but fresh, if that makes sense. Not getting patchouli or anything else for that matter, but the geranium. It's a bit too sour for my liking.

    Visions of Autumn IV

    Smells more like orange rather than orange blossom to me. Medicinal, kind of sweet. It reminds me a bit of an orange flavoured vitamin from the health food store that I used to give the kids. It's a little too odd somehow, like the notes don't belong together. Not for me.

    Avunculus

    Huh? This does not smell at all like the listed notes. I love orange blossom, amber and honey, so I thought that this would be a no brainer. What I'm getting is a tropical, heady floral, overwhelmingly sweet, so that it's almost sickly. Oh well, can't win em all:)

    The Bear in the Cellar

    This is a bit sour at first, along with a definite animalistic musk. Sourness fades, and it kind of reminds me of other musky animal blends, like Hunter Moon and others. This is nice, I tend to like these kind of musks and will certainly finish up my half decant.

    Very Pink Surprise Cake

    A little goes a long way here folks! Lot's of fake strawberry and vanilla, though I have to say that it is better than Sprinklecake. Lasts insanely long, it's not too bad, I can see foodies going head over heels on this one, it's definitely 'pink'.

    Miss Fanny Phippany

    A mishmash of spice and leather, and SPICE, of the cinnamon variety. Red Hots. These notes are great, but together, it is one of the most disjointed scents I have ever smelled. It's like someone poured notes in a decanter without even looking. ZZ is right, it does kind of smell like Spanked, only with more cinnamon.

    Lips of Flame and Heart of Stone

    Given the notes, I thought I would love this one. Alas, it is not to be:( I'm getting a whole lot of fruit and red musk, translating to Hollywood Babylon, a scent I REALLY don't like. Yes, there's apple here, totally uber fruity and rather unpleasant. Not for me.

    Goofballs

    Yup, grass and dirt. Not a problem, as I like these two notes, more as an atmosphere blend than something I would wear, but this is still nice.

    The Witch Bride

    Rather cologney smelling. Sharp, heady and acrid. Not for me.

    Visions of Autumn VI

    I'm always a sucker for lavender, and this definitely has it, the herbal variety, less floral. It has a bit of a masculine vibe, which I'm guessing is the oakmoss. This is just 'ok' me, and I own lavender blends that are nicer than this, so no need to upgrade.

    Mermaid

    Aquatic, but with a touch of foody, like cookies or something like that. Sweeter that other aquatics, fresh. Ok, but fades fast.

    Tricksy Hair Gloss

    I'm finding that the patchouli is less prominent here than the perfume oil and bath oil. That's OK with me, and love both versions. I find most glosses fade in scent, and this is no exception. I still enjoy them, though, and will use up my decant for sure.

    Eve's Big Apple Hair Gloss - Green Apple

    Tart and green, more suited for late summer or early fall weather. The bergamot gives it a bit of a citrussy feel.

    Peach Nectar and Vanilla Orchid Hair Gloss

    Peach and vanilla, and something a bit floral, like nectar, but just adds to the tropical feeling of this hair gloss. I REALLY like this, but will use it more in the summer months.

    Pumpkin Spice Everything Hair Gloss

    Fall spices, definitely cinnamon, nutmeg, clove. I'm not big on smelling like pumpkin pie spice, but it does smell rather tasty.

    Autumn Leaves and Haitian Patchouli Hair Gloss

    Leaves at patch, what more could a girl want? Very fall-like, dusky leaves, with the patch adding a bit of a dirty feel. The scent fades a bit once my hair dries, but it's still quite lovely. WIN!!

    Visions of Autumn V

    Vetiver the most obvious note, for sure. It fades pretty fast, and it smells quite grassy and vegetal. More like dried grasses than anything else. Not picking up any other notes.

    Boo Hair Gloss

    I normally use 7 squirts on my hair, that leaves it silky and nicely scented. Boo is perhaps THE strongest hair gloss I've tried to date. It is definitely, foody, fluffy and comforting. Sweet vanilla and marshmallows, but 7 is definitely too much for me, it ends up being rather cloying with that amount, and I can smell it the next day, which is rare for the lab's hair glosses. Still, I like Boo, I've been contemplating a bottle at some point, so I'll use this, but sparingly.

    Visions of Autumn VII

    I find Tobacco SN a bit much on its own, but blended it can be quite nice. This one, definitely tobacco here, along with something even more gritty, musky and resinous. The whole effect is a masculine blend for sure, so it's not something I would wear out. It's a tad sour for me, but I'd still like to smell it on a guy.
  20. Smoky and foody. Kind of like pralines and caramel/brown sugar. Love to eat that stuff, but not to smell like it. It definitely smells yummy, and I really could go for something like caramel popcorn right about now. Very comforting, but I probably wouldn't wear it much.

    The White Witch

    Hellion is that you?? I'll have to do a side by side and report back, but imp to bottle smells quite similar, and I thought of Hellion right away when it touched my skin. Definitely red, not a white blend, not sharp, just warm, spicy and inviting. Red musk is well blended, juicy pom and something spicy. This is a lovely blend, and if I didn't already have Hellion, I'd consider a bottle. WIN!!

    Black Clove, Tobacco Flower and Grave Soil Hair Gloss

    I LOVE this one. For some reason, I really like the scent of dirt, and I feel like I'm in the loamiest, comfiest blanket of dirt EVER!! Smells like rich potting soil and clove. Unfortunately, it doesn't smell as strong after my hair dries, BOO. I still love it, and will enjoy the rest of my decant.

    Chocolate Pumpkin Fluff Bath Oil

    Smells, airy and fluffy, like a chocolate meringue. I'm almost getting a marshmallow feeling here. Creamy and yummy. I'll enjoy the rest of my decant.

    Fog Machine Juice

    Kind of fruity, kind of heady floral, if this were a color, it would be hazy, pinky purple with an emphasis on the 'pinky'. It's somewhat heady and fake smelling, like those aromatherapy machines in spas that give off a mist, only this is not spa-like at all. Clubby and rather artificial smelling. Not for me.

    Pumpkin Cheesecake Bath Oil (2014)

    Spices galore here! I'm not really getting any graham crust. It was very prominent in the Pumpkin Smores, and here, just a touch.. So, on me, it's pretty much spices with a touch of graham. Not getting any pumpkin or carrot. Nice for fall weather, but not a good idea to smell it when you're hungry!!
