    Crêpe Aux Fraises

    Okay, although none of the notes indicate "crepes" (flour, milk, egg) I was hoping for a little more "crepes" instead of just "fraise". Still, very nice strawberry scent.

    Honey Snowballs

    A splort. I love it. To me, it is Pink Snowballs + Honey. I wish the honey were a bit stronger, but it is very nice.

    Dalliances by Candlelight

    This smells very nice. A bit of an inky scent, reminds me of a Shunga from many years ago, Calligraphy Practice? I'll have to look through the scent descriptions. ETA: Yes, it reminds me of Calligraphy Practice, though I wasn't able to compare them. Strongly reminds me of Lights of Mens' Lives.

    The Urchins

    Surprise like. I really just got the decant to complete my collection. I don't think I'll get a bottle, but it's not bad. Slight lavender? and metal?

    Cardamom Cream Pumpkin Cake

    This smells like something? I know that is utterly unhelpful, but I can't put my finger on it. I have searched other blends with cardamom notes to see if something strikes a bell, but nothing comes to mind. Maybe something like the lavender-cheescake beaver moon? At any rate, it smells very nice, soothing.

    Snake Skin

    I really want to love this but it turns out to be very fresh snake oïl and a hint of cherry. I think it needs to be put in a drawer and forgotten for about five years at least, then rediscovered. I think it has potential.

    Lavender Pumpkin Floss

    nice. Definitely the lavender from Beaver Moon lavender cheesecake. Not getting much pumpkin though. Aren't pumpkin and lavender supposed to be the most desired scents by a man or something like that?

    Entertaining the Heian Court Maiden

    Really nice. Reminds me of something, can't think what, going to drive me crazy. WombFury? Anyway, starts as a dark smoky honey and dries down to something a bit more like honey powder.

    Pumpkin Lace

    When I first received this, about a year ago, there was a much stronger pumpkin scent to me. Now, it is mainly Tobacco, vanilla, and a little bit of pumpkin. Nice, fits in with the other Laces.

    Good Cheer Atmosphere Spray

    GOOD CHEER Roasted chestnuts and candied figs. Oh, am I first? Wooh! To me, this opens with a strong nut note, I wouldn't say chestnuts so much as walnuts maybe. Afterwards, fig, but not candied fig. Very nice, very Christmasy.

    Ooky

    This is not a sophisticated scent. It is not for business meetings (unless you work for Yankee Candle). It is pretty much only for those days when you wake up and think "i want to smell like lightly spiced pumpkin candies today!" And let's face it, we all have thise days. True to the note list, doesn't morph, be careful in not doosing yourself or fellow elevator-mates will have a long ride.

    The Candy Butcher (2015)

    Definitely bitter. Sometimes veering towards "mold" for some reason. Not getting too much cream.

    Queen Alice

    Mmm, this is a thick, spicy wine scent on me. Maybe a bit of carnation, but no posies or amber. I think this falls though on my list of "Wouldn't buy a bottle but if someone gave me a bottle I wouldn't swap it away." (same for imps)

    Pumpkin V (2014)

    This is intriguing. A musty (in a good way) unusual scent that makes one think of a field with dirt and pumpkin and other things growing. ETA: I like this but it seems to fall in the category of scents that has other people asking 'what's that smell?' Not necessarily in a bad way, but just not associated with perfume and something that one would be wearing.

    Weeping Branches Moon

    A light floral, blossoming scent, perfect for spring. Mostly plum and peony I think.

    Calligraphy Practise

    This is what I wished L'encre noir femme was, a dark feminine inky scent with a bit of cedar.
  17. megank4

    Havana

    Very nice, very "old west", though I think if I had to pick one, it would be tombstone. Or maybe Coyote. Smells dry, dusty, Tobacco. Not much of a morpher. Also seems very close to the skin.

    Love's Philosophy

    Yumm, this smells so good. I don't know why I didn't get more of it at the time. It was during my decant circle phase so perhaps my nose was burned out from decanting, or maybe aging really helps. Mainly saffron and cream. Lasts a really long time.

    Eden

    This smells really good, mostly fig and milk. Kindof a sleeper scent, one that sits in your imp box until you rediscover it one day. Long lasting, original.

    Summer Lace

    This reminds me a lot more of Black Lace than the other lace incarnations. It is really nice, can't really pick out any of the fruitier notes though. Like a lighter version of black pace for when it is hot out.

    Love

    Took me awhile to pin down what this reminds me of, finally realized it is indeed Hope. Was hoping for more cream and strawberry.

    Arachnina, The Spider Girl (2006)

    Mmm. This reminds me of Lust. I have a bottle from 2008, from the beginning of collecting. It smells warm, woody/musky, very nice for winter.

    Amiable and Lovely Creatures

    I can never really make up my mind about this one. I love each of the ingredients separately, but together, they can be cloying. to be used sparingly. Mainly, I get honey/rosewater/fig.

    Pomona

    Hmm, it took me a long time to come around to this scent. I don't get much nuts or mulberry/blackberry/pomegranate, just plain apple, slightly boozy/sparkly. A light, pre-autumn scent, when the days are still hot out but the nights are starting to get cool.

    A Sudden Invitation

    I can't decide if I like this or not. Definite sandalwood that reminds me of cedar for some reason, and the plum note in Antonino I think. Very light. Can't detect any mint.
