    Creepy

    This is 95% apples on me. I can catch a whiff of caramel in the background. I would probably love this if I hadn't tried Punkie Night, but I much prefer Punkie Night's spicy apple cider-y smell. Still, Creepy is quite tasty smelling, and it does make me want to eat my arm!

    Faith

    Oh, this is a wonderful scent! The violet candy description is quite accurate - it's very, very sweet, but so girly and pretty! I can't get enough of it. I'm sad that this can't be ordered on its own, because while Hope is probably the best rose scent I've ever tried, it's still a rose scent, which just isn't my thing. But Faith on the other hand is purple and sweet and amazing.

    Pumpkin Queen

    I ordered a decant of this partially to see what all of the fuss is about, and to see if I can ever find a pumpkin scent where the pumpkin doesn't vanish. Wet, it smells like some sort of pumpkin-y baked good. Then it dries, and the pumpkin vanishes (bah!), and all I can smell is a mix of ginger and orange peel. It's nice, and it definitely feels like a regal scent, but it's not enough to have me swapping my soul for bottles or anything .

    Monster Bait: biggerCritters

    I ordered this decant from an LJ user because I absolutely love vanilla, and I figured that something with five vanillas meant that the vanilla would overwhelm everything else in the blend. Boy, was I wrong . This is basically a slightly creamy jasmine-y grapefruit on me - hardly a whiff of vanilla! I normally dislike citrus, but this is actually quite pleasant. Most of the citrus scents that I've tried, like Embalming Fluid, are very light, but this is stronger and has more presence. I'll keep the imp around, but I don't love it enough to buy any bottles.

    Bewitched

    On me, I just get berries BERRIES berries! There is no sign of sage or musk or green tea to temper this, but I really like it. It's lighter and girlier than other fruity scents that work on me, such as Bordello and Lady Macbeth. I associate it very much with spring in my mind, I guess because it was lighter than I was expecting. This is quite lovely! I'll put it on my "probably a bottle" list .

    Pumpkin III (2007)

    Wow, on me this smells like some sort of chocolate-pumpkin baked good, emphasis on the chocolate. It's been pulled fresh from the oven and drizzled with caramel. There's also a tiny bit of cream in the background. It's definitely very, very foody. It seems like it would be fantastic as a room scent - no one of the notes dominates to my nose.

    Pumpkin I (2007)

    Wow, this is all white wine grapes on me, no jasmine or pumpkin in sight. Oh, and they're powdery grapes, which explains all of the comparison to grape candy - I don't find the smell pleasant, but if you're okay with a bit of powder, then it might work for you. I sniffed and sniffed in search of any pumpkin, but no go.

    The Ghastly Garden

    I bought a decant of this, and in retrospect, I don't know why - white florals and rose tend to hate me. This starts off very very green, with floral powder in the background. (White florals turn powdery on me). The florals slowly got stronger - I could especially smell what I thought was gardenia. Then, about a half hour later, it just turned NASTY on me! Just smelling my arm was making me feel ill, so I had to go wash it off. So yes, don't be silly like me! You should like florals if you're ordering something with "garden" in the title!
