On the skin: Soapy and kinda astringent. Citrus!! After a bit, the soapiness fades, but the astringent smell never goes away. Not for me.
-
On the skin: Herbal with something a bit deeper.... And some floral. This scent is very strange. The scent shifts and takes on a candy sweetness. Crazy Scent!!
-
'09 version On the skin: Oooh! Incense! Mmmmm! It isn't bad! Sadly the SO doesn't like this one. Seems to fade kinda quick and turns bitter. Not so nice now.
-
On the skin: Pine and a floral that must be the narcissus. Also, a coldness that is in the lab's snow scents. Interesting, but not really my thing.
-
On the skin: Oooh! This is a tasty mint!! Like spearmint gum.
-
On the skin: Herbal astringent smell. I am not sure if this scent is all that good on my skin. I can smell a bit of mint as well.
-
On the skin: Smells kind of like snow on branches with some floral hint. And tart berries.
-
On the skin: Huh..... An indescribable powder aura. Very interesting. It is starting to smell a bit more wintery. I am not sure if I like this one.
-
On the skin: Whoa! Intense caramel!! After a few moments, the caramel fades a bit and now it is just a lovely sweetness with a hint of bitter resins and red musk. Red musk is a death note on me, but this isn't too bad... I need to test this one again!
-
On the skin: Slightly frosty yet..... green. Not evergreen, but more plant green. Whoa! This immediately turns aquatic on my skin.... Eeek!
-
This reminds me a lot of Rose Red, though Rose Red smells like a different type of rose. The rose of Peacock Queen is a much sweeter rose without the green stem of Rose Red. As a rose scent, this one is fabulous!! Sadly on the dry down, this scent starts to smell kind of.... moldy on my skin. Oh, skin chemistry!! Why must you betray me!
-
Minty floral.... Interesting, but not the kind of scent I am interested in.
-
The world will love its darkness: cistus labdanum, ginger, East Indian patchouli, pimento berry, oakmoss, saffron, smoky vanilla, sage, myrrh, and bitter clove. On the skin: I am getting a bit of a dirt/smokey smell. It is also kind of sweet. Vanilla? Quite spicy as well. I am not sure if I like this one.... It is the smokey part.
-
On the skin: Hmmmm, spicy with some evergreen? Pretty nice! On the dry down: Things get even spicier. Makes me sneeze! A very Christmasay scent.
-
On the skin: A light airy rose with vanilla. Very sweet and innocent! Also very light with minimal throw. After things start drying down, the scent begins to bloom! It is quite nice, but not really my thing...
-
Reminds me of Egg Nog Latte! Only this one is a bit more smooth. Ooooooh! I think this is my favorite of the Arkham Yules this year.
-
On the skin: this smells kinda aquatic to me.... Lemon and floral? Herbalish floral. I am afraid that this one is not working for me.
-
On the skin: Hmmmmm, this one is better than I thought it would be. Kinda strong. Citrus and....? To me it smells kinda like lime and something slightly sweet. It's really getting good! Later, I am getting a bit of incense now along with the lime and maybe a bit of lemon. Slightly aquatic as well. I don't know why, but it makes me think of the Festival of Anuket...
-
On the skin: Uh, oh.... cough syrup cherries.... with a bit of a pastry smell. After a bit the cherry fades and now this is starting to smell kinda yummy! Sadly it fades soon after... My skin ate this one up!
-
On the skin: Wow, this is strong floral. Drydown: Ugh, it is so strong and I only put on a dab. The florals are giving me a headache. On the very end of the drydown phase I can definitely smell the tobacco flower. Icky. I think it is the gardenia though that started the headache. Ouch.
-
Honeyed flowers and peaches! Mmmmm! The honeyed flower scent in this one reminds me a lot of To Helen and Flower Moon. Pretty nice! I think I would be happy with a decant though because I don't see myself wearing this kind of scent too often. I would prefer to go to Philommedes for my peaches!
-
On the skin: Hmmmm, I was hoping for a bit more vanilla from this one. Darn, I mostly smell rose and jasmine with a tiny hint of sweetness that may or may not be vanilla. On the drydown: The vanilla shows its presence a bit more, but sadly the florals really do drown it on my skin...
-
Oooooh! Red musk is normally a death note on me, but I hope that this one behaves because the rest of the notes sound excellent! On the skin: Mmmmm! Chocolate plum musk! And root beer? Very strange! It casts a lovely scent aura that carries no hint of root beer. I am loving this one!! On the drydown: This one smells sooooo wonderful! It reminds me of another scent, but for the life of me I can't figure out which.
