Maraschino cherries, almond, almond with frankincense, omg there's the cinnamon. A Dana O'Shee that's on the fence with being foody and non foody. Bengal without the musk.

Antique Lace has amazing throw - my skin amps this scent like nobody's business. I can smell the vanilla, but there's also something really sharp in there, which I suppose is the linen. I've gotten compliments before when I've worn this exercising, the trainer said I smelled like cookies. But I don't think it smells like cookies at all. Cookies aren't supposed to have linen in them. This scent just goes to show that you can love two separate notes but the combination is bleh. I love the smell of fresh linen and I love vanilla, but combined I really don't like it at all. It's a beautiful scent nevertheless, but I really can't stand it on myself.

omg PEACHES!! Fresh, juicy peaches is what it's all about. Aglaea reminds me of March Hare but without the clove which makes it less foody and potpouri-ish and much more wearable. Now that it's dry the amber is starting to come out. Tamora turned to playdoh on my skin but I'm so glad Aglaea works on me. This is a gorgeous scent. I can't stop sniffing my wrist.

I know a lot of people have been saying Yvaine is extremely lavender, and I don't have a problem with that, as lavender is one of my favorite scents, but to me Yvaine is really different than straight up lavender. It's tempered by sweetness and a hint of powder. There's some other floral in there that rounds it out. I'm terrible at naming notes, bah. Must be the wisteria. It starts out sharp but on the drydown gets sweeter. Yvaine was one of my first bottles, I need to get a backup. Definately lives up to its name. I ordered Stardust and I'm going to read it while wearing this scent, lol.

Kind of a weird combination...but it totally works for the theme...I smell the mint the most.....the grapefruit in the background adds a slightly sour undertone....or maybe that's the champagne. It has a sort of tearful quality, somehow....like when you cry till you almost can't cry anymore....but everytime you think of the reason you're crying a few more tears can't help but sqeeze themselves out....

This scent is evocative of fresh pine needles......and gets a dustier, woody quality as it dries down. It would make a great scent for a guy, but it's not overwhelmingly masculine....just has a sort of refreshing quality.

Ooooh, I love cilantro......smelling and eating it. I'll be stalking this thead, you betcha'!!

Fruit, and woods, and something green I can't identify. It's the most amazing faerie scent, and really lives up to the "ethereal".

Gingerbread Poppet is perfect, spicy gingerbread. *$^*@^*&*@^ someday in my wildest dreams this makes it into GC.

Baneberry is like Bewitched mixed with a bit of Jester. Which is...weird. Something sour in there that doesn't agree with me.

Calico Jack is pretty much the same as the American Eagle cologne my brother loves and douses himself in - nice, masculine, woody and fresh, but not something I'd ever wear.

I received Helena as a frimp from the lab. And did a double take sniffing my wrist. This smelled exactly like Amsterdam with a little rose added.

The combination of clove and peach isn't doing it for me. Separate they're fine, together in March Hare they are waayyy too foody. Sweet and yummy and a bit candyish, like chomping down on one of those chewy orange candies. Not my thing.

I didn't like Tiger Lily the first time I tried it. Since then I've learned a bit more appreciation for scents. This lily isn't soapy, heachache inducing, or overpowering - just sweet, warm, spicy flowers.

Embalming fluid was lemony, clean and fresh smelling. There's something else in there that didn't agree with my nose, though, and I think it's the tea.

From all the great reivews I thought I'd love White Rabbit. Wrong! It smells SOUR. I don't think it's the milk either, milk notes are usually fine on me. Powdery, weird, nose wrinkling, nails on a blackboard WRONG.

Obatala is okay but kind of buttery. Light and yet...it's like the component shortening has. I love the idea of coconut milk but this one gives me a headache and a wash-off-immediately impulse.

The Hanging Gardens is gooood. It's a really deep scent. I can smell the fruit and florals, but there's also something spicy and woody.

I loved Yerevan in the imp. It smelled gorgeous, sweet and fruity and faintly floral. However the fruitiness quickly disappeared on my skin and left a cleaning bubbles-like smell. I'm starting to think apricot doesn't like me.

I wanted to love Katharina but she smelled like Lysol cleaner on me.

This scent is so lovely, warm, and comforting. Smokey honeyed vanilla with fruity dragon's blood resin. I may have to get a bottle.

Bewitched is really green and fresh wet on my wrist. As it dries, the berry sweetness comes out more, but it's a tart, wild berry kind of sweetness. There's s a point in the drydown where the musk is dominant. At this point I think I can smell the tea, too. Musk and I don't always agree, but the notes in Bewitched are compelling together.

The lavendar really dominates at first, then settles down and blends in with the other notes. This is definately a cool scent, it's the opposite of warm and comforting. I like sad scents, but right now I'm iffy about that sandlewood. This really ages well. It reminds me a little bit of a cooler Mouse's Long and Sad Tale. I think this is going on my bottle list.

Buttery. Spicy. Fruity. Sweet. Foody. Not too foody though. Love it. Have a bottle. I used to wear slather it on in the morning to make english class and waking up in general more bearable. People would always sniff the air and start looking around. "Something smells reeeally good".

Cake, vanilla-ish, creamy and sweet. Jammy. I really thought I would enjoy smelling like cake. But unfortunately not this one.
