Hm, I really expected to like this, but even after several testings... I don't. I can't really pick out any particular notes, and my body chemistry gobbles down lavender so maybe that's why. It just smells like a generic perfume, and is very, very, very faint. Off it goes to the swaps.

This is nice and foody but too faint and sticky-smelling for me. I'm finding the chocolate-based scents aren't to my taste (even though I am a choholic LOL). It's nice but not amazing on me. The marshmallow and coconut make this smell like an exotic version of rocky road, which is quite nice but... well, it's simply nice and not amazing.

This absolutely makes me think of a creamy Creepy! Pretty and totally utterly delicious but in the long run not nicer than my Creepy. I'll keep my old favorite instead.

Hm, this was nice until drydown when it became hazelnut scented oil with a only a hint of the other scents. I don't often care for hazelnut scents, and I think that's what is stopping me from loving this scent. Ah well, I'll have to dab on my Pumpkin Latte instead.

Vetiver strikes again. This was just GORGEOUS and to die for before it really settled down and the vetiver decided to take over the show. I REALLY dislike vetimer and how it reacts to my skin chemistry so… another no-go scent for me…

Ok I've tried this one several different times now and all three times it just… disappears! There's nothing, not even a hint of where I applied it! It takes about an hour to go away completely, but when it does it's literally as if nothing was there! Weird.

Soapy and green, this was a miss from the very first moment it touched my skin. Ultimate sadness because I LOVE Tweedledee, so it surprised me how poorly this scent reacted with my skin chemistry.

I love amber scents- however, many of them turn to powder on me after awhile, and this scent which I was so in love with at first did the same thing. I'm a huge fan of grapefruit so I was excited when I smelled this in the imp and also when I first put it on. But in the long run the black amber ruined this for me... sigh...

This is a very nice rose scent! Roses are usually a no-no for me- I amp them like CRAZY and often they turn powdery, plus to top it all off I'm just not that crazy about the scent anyhow. But if I were tempted to wear a rose scent, this would be it! It really does have a hint of wickedness to it- something I can't quite put my finger on, but it really is nice!

This is pretty- maybe a little too pretty for my tastes. I expected this to be more fruity, actually, but it's a little too perfumy for that.

Hm… I'm not sure if it is the rose or the amber in this that turned to powder- probably both. It's pretty-smelling powder but still powder (which I cannot STAND!). I wasn't really expecting anything else though so no big disappointment.

Oh now THIS one I like! As in, I will be slathering this all over tomorrow! It really does remind me of depravity- the darkness of the patchouli with the sweet innocence of the apricot is just an utterly perfect combination! One of the few winners of the scents I've tried lately. How could I have missed this one before?

This scent was sharp and astringent on me, and reminded me of a man's deodorant. Not for me, not even a little bit. I can't really detect any specific notes in particular, I think I'm too hung up on the deodorant reminder.

Hm… There may be cinnamon in this one- I had a bad reaction to it, and now I smell lovely but the cinnamon is very strong and overwhelming. Plus the red welt on my skin! Possibly pumpkin pie spice? I'd keep this if I wore a scent locket, but I don't so off it goes!

Oh a second winner hiding among my current batch of losers! This is blueberry cake with a melted caramel poured overtop. What a delicious scent- but strangely not TOO foody- the vanilla grounds it and prevents me from wanting to just lick my arm!!!

Unfortunately, I get a green-smelling herby scent from this one which I don't care for. I'm pretty particular, and if I wasn't so picky then this might be a winner for me. I get hints of the peach and the vanilla from time to time but it's just that- hints. The green scent is much stronger and continuous, so I'll pass on this scent.

Ok I'm SO glad I'm not the only one that thought of Crunch Berries when I tried this! A super foody scent, right up my alley, and I slathered it on as soon as I received it... I'm melting with deliciousness right now!!!!

This was beautiful and lickable (I didn't lick it, don't worry) and yummy- but soaks into my skin and disappears within a half hour. Where did my marvelous cookies go?! How can I wear this when it feels like I'm being naughty and scarfing down my cookies!?

This is a gorgeous scent, but not on me. My skin amps SOMETHING weird in here, although two friends, my DH and my DD who tried it smelled LOVELY and dark and sexy!

OMG… This smells EXACTLY like fresh mown grass. Not the scent you get a waft of if you drive pass a fresh mowed lawn, but the scent of a handful of fresh cut grass pressed to my nose. A novelty scent, but not my thing.

… Our Dragon Moon represents the forces of rebirth and the vigor that springtime brings: dragon's blood resin, galbanum, blue sage, lavender, peppermint, sweetgrass, frankincense, moonglow magnolia, bergamot, and green cedar. This was one of those rare Dragon's Blood scents that I thought would work for me. I tried an imp, and it was lovely. I tracked down a bottle about a month later and it went to soap. Strange. I tried the imp again, and I got soap. I kept trying this throughout the month, and it just wasn't worth the effort to track when it would be best to apply it.

Ha! I'm with many others on this thread- almost immediate lemon pledge. It smelled better on my DH but he didn't care for it.

In the bottle this is BEAUTIFUL!!! But on my skin something turns cloying and sickly sweet. And the worst part is, it AMPS like crazy!

Blah! I'm not a fan of how most wine smells (or tastes for that matter), so this was an immediate NO on me. I even waited out the dry down to be sure, but no way Jose!

Yet another plasticky scent on me, almost from the second it hit my skin! Sadness!
