Butterscotch cream cheese frosting.... Yummy enough to make me want to lick my arm. I just wish it lasted longer! This is one of those scents my skin LOVES and it disappears completely within two hours... sadness.... I even tried making this into a lotion hoping it would last longer but alas it didn't help... FYI I tried the Beaver'Versary one.

I loved this scent but found I never wore it so I ended up swapping it away. Not sure why I always skipped over it in my box- maybe something subliminal? Anyhow, this was a real "vampirish" scent, dangerous and dark and brooding. Maybe I'll track down another one someday to try it again.

This scent was interesting in the bottle- but there WAS a metallic underscent which gave me pause. Shoulda listened to my instincts because as soon as it went on all I smelled was scorched metal. As it dried down, it just got worse and worse.

This is a beautiful scent and makes me think EXACTLY of Partylite's Honeydew candles! Lovely as a room scent but not applied to my body.

This was gorgeous at first- sexy and sweet, naughty and nice, leather and lace (not the scent but the idea) all wrapped up in one little bottle. Then, after about an hour, nothing but powder... So disappointing!!!!

Blech. Stereotypical men's cologne! Not my style at all, and I couldn't wait to run and wash it off! Even my DH wasn't interested!

This was a fantastic scent in that it morphed gradually over time from sometime distinctly almost-pine-smelling into a lovely soft berry scent with hardly any wood beneath. It's very faint though, and doesn't throw at all on me. It's neat for the unique morphing quality, though.

I really, really, really liked Sugar Moon- but every time I wore it I had to reslather several times a day and honestly, as pretty as it was (caramelly melted sugar), it just wasn't worth the work.

Unfortunately, something in this turned to immediate baby powder on me

Scents with a green slant don't do anything for me- and while Giant Squid is lovely there is a green scent beneath that totally turns me off. Unfortunately, not a scent for me!

This brings to mind the perfect Girl Scout thin mints!! Mmmm... Very, very yummy- but I find I've had a bottle for years and rarely wear it, so it doesn't appeal to me as a daily (or even a once-in-awhile) scent. But what a nummy scent!

Sweet black licorice with a hint of cocoa- very nummy and pretty and soft all at the same time. I'm liking this one!!! Keeper for sure!! Yay!

This is a lovely scent, the berries and patchouli together compliment wonderfully. Unfortunately, this scent disappears very quickly on my skin, and then there's almost nothing. It's pretty if I stuff my wrist up against my nose and inhale deeply. VERY deeply. But even slathering doesn't help.

Bummer. Another rose scent that didn't work on me. Sigh... I tend to amp roses BIG time, and this was almost no trace of anything beneath the rose- just crazy insane overwhelming rose.

The enemy of God, also named Iblis, He Who Despaired of the Mercy of God. Al-Shairan is the leader of the Jinn, a tempter who whispers false suggestions to men enticing them into evil and perfidious acts, and is the sworn enemy of all of Adam’s children. His scent is fiery, bright and thick with sweet sinfulness: clove, peach and orange with cinnamon, patchouli and dark incense notes. Unfortunately this one left me with a red welt- I'm pretty sensitive to cinnamon. It's a nice scent- spicy cinnamon and cloves and incense- but I simply can't have it on my skin.

Yet another post where I am in agreement with Gin above me! I literally could have written her review! I had the exact same reaction to this.

Another scent to turn into immediate playdough on me Slightly strawberry scented playdough, but still dough...

Hm this one's a strange one... I get a hint of citrus, a pinch of baked or baking goods, a touch of vanilla... Nothing in particular stands out hard-core, it's all completely subtle and equally supportive. Faint, though, and hardly any throw whatsoever. I really have to huff to catch the scent.

This was an incredibly lovely scent! I think it's the pink pepper and amber keeping this from going too darn floral- but just barely! This one may require further testing later, but right now it's borderline whether I would wear it or not. I have quite a few "oh this is lovely" scents, but I'm a bigger fan of ZOMG scents.

Another vetiver scent bites the dust. Until the vetiver came out this was very pretty- soft fruity vanilla and very complex, but once the vetiver came out that was it for me. Sadness! Without the vetiver coming out this would have been LOVELY!

I'm with Gin on this one- on paper this should be a perfect scent for me! Unfortunately the peppermint and the coconut are having a war on my skin and the results are NOT PRETTY!! A strange coco-mint overpowering medicinal smell. Blah!!!!!!!

This was a lovely and elusive scent- very soft and vanilla-coconut-floral. Super tropical and pretty. I expected this to remind me of the Luau scents (none of which seemed to work on me) but it's really it's very own scent and not similar at all (no alcoholic drinks here!).

Today just seems to be a no-go for me (then again I AM trying notes that don't often work for me!). Rose and amber are sometimes misses for me, and this scent turns into a complete Rose-fest with a hint of something powdery beneath. I'm not crazy about strong rose scents and I absolutely dislike the scent of baby powder so this is a no WAY for me. I've tried this one a few times now and always got the same results.

Vetiver doesn't often like me, and this was one of those times. I now smell like one of those little soaps left out by cheap hotels. Blech!

Ultimate sadness: this was a lovely tangerine cream until on drydown it immediately turned into baby powder on me.
