Not what I was expecting at all! On the skin: Green chocolates! It's like... gardening and chocolate combined! I'd say this is definitely more of a milk chocolate than anything else. Creamy chocolate and green plants!

On the skin: A lovely floral. I don't smell much else. It actually turns quite soapy on my skin. Definitely not for me.

On the skin: A green, wood scent. Hmmm, quite smelly. It turns a bit ashy as time goes on. Not for me at all. I don't think I could see myself layering this one with anything either.

On the skin: That is some yummy apricot! Almost peachy. Sweet with a slight tartness. There is a deepness to this one that must be from the clove, but I don't actually smell much of the clove itself. This is very yummy!! I don't see myself wearing this day to day, but I love the smell of it!

On the skin: I think I like this one even better than Hygeia. A smooth cinnamon with a blend of the other notes. Soooooo nice! This cinnamon is so friendly! It reminds me a lot of the cinnamon in Pinched with Four Aces. In fact, this blend reminds me a little of Pinched, but I find it to smell so much better! I think I may have to snag another bottle before they go away!

On the skin: Beautiful rose with a hint of coconut. Oh, no... there is something here that is turning a weird tart/sour/powder. It's not the rose... but whatever it is, it has completely taken over. A greenish tart/sour powder. It smells like what I would think the stalk of a weird plant would smell like after it has been freshly cut. (Can't think of a particular plant to compare...) Oh, maybe it is the scent of freshly cut rose stalks. Not the flower itself. With a bit of powder. *sigh* Not at all what I was hoping for. I think I am going to keep this one around though. The label art is too awesome for me to give up on liking this one!

On the skin: Red musk and slightly earthy (patchouli?). Oooooh, this is nice. It turns a bit earthier after a bit. Definitely not something I could ever wear to work, but I am definitely liking this one! Turns a little sweeter after a bit. Oh, I wish I could find a bottle of this one!

On the skin: A soft cinnamon wood. Huh. Not something I would normally expect from a blend with cinnamon! This is actually a very smooth, slightly sweet blend. Hmmmm, something on my skin is turning even sweeter. Tobacco? Not very strong at all on me though. I really have to lean in to sniff it. Can't smell any cinnamon anymore. Or woods. Just a sweetness. Quite nice smelling, but it just sticks too close to my skin for my taste.

On the skin: A sweet honey musky ambery scent with florals. This is fantastic! A golden floral. Hmmmmmm, the floral is a bit headachy though. Very very lovely still. The headachiness fades a little as time goes on. Still a lovely scent that I really like, but I don't think I would wear it often at all. I think this decant will be staying with me though!

Just got this one in the mail, so things might change a bit! On the skin: I swear I have smelled something like this before. Musky, deep, slightly sweet, perfumey berry. LOVE! You know, I think this reminds me of Mme Moriarty only with berry instead of plum. Not as strong though.... Very nice and I think this one will be staying around for a bit!

On the skin: Light, musky, almost clean/green scent. Very interesting! This one sicks very close to my skin. I find this quite lovely. Definitely not what I was expecting. This smells like a freshly showered body. I think I will need to try this one again! -ETA- Tried this one again recently! This one is quite musky with a slight hint of dry sandalwood and vanilla. I think it is a keeper!

Hello musky lemon! This is very much lemon on me. Thankfully it doesn't seem to turn too artificial on me. After a bit I can smell a bit of the herbs. It is becoming more of a musky lemon with some herbs mixed in. Could be an interesting drink. Interesting scent that is perfect for summertime.

On the skin: Hmmmm, I really can't smell much of anything. Weird! After a bit I get a bit of herbal honey. Interesting and kind of fuzzy feeling. This is very much honey on me. I am afraid this scent is not for me. It never really blooms on me. Ah, well...

I'd say this is definitely a Banshee Beat proto. On the skin: This actually smells a bit like Banshee Beat to me. I never got much vanilla in the released version and it ended up being purely dirt on my skin, but here I can smell the vanilla immediately. A dirty vanilla! Wow, this is fantastic! This scent isn't as strong as Banshee Beat, but I actually like it better this way. More vanilla than the released version, but an overall lighter scent. I love it!

On the skin: Oooooh! It smells.... root beerish to me. A very sweet root beer though. The root beer impression fades pretty quickly though. Now it smells... pretty amazing! Sweet vanilla plus red musk with a hint of pomegranate. Maybe a slight feel of caramel? A surprisingly airy/light scent. Not overpowering at all! This is a very sexy almost foody scent. I think I am in love and now feel totally justified in swapping for three bottles! Reminds me slightly of Sin, only Sin is a bit stronger and a bit less sweet!

On the skin: Mmmmmm! A honey sweet musk. Very lovely! I could instantly see this being a perfect blend for wearing to work where stronger scents would be frowned upon. A lovely, sweet musky scent that wafts nicely and isn't heavy or strong. An "aura" perfume! I don't think I would ever want to wear this scent alone, but I think this is definitely a great layering scent as long as it is paired with something that won't completely drown it out!

On the skin: Definitely purple and herby. It gets less herbal as time goes on. Smells like a lovely soap. Not for me!

On the skin: Hmmmm, I can't smell much. It's slightly sweet, but other than that I really can't smell anything. I think what I smell is floral sweet with a slight musky airiness. Still can't smell too much. I got this imp straight from the lab, so it should be the right scent.... I'll have to edit this post if I get a different imp.

A very interesting scent! Not sure why, but it immediately makes me think of this summer camp I used to work at. You know, I think it is because it smells a lot like the bug spray I used to use. Of course, in a weird way I liked the smell of it. Hmmm, definitely not right for me as a perfume.

On the skin: Huh. I am having trouble describing this one! It's.... a bit powdery/musky with a hint of sweet lemon. This one doesn't have much throw on me. It's actually kinda nice! A very comforting scent. It never gets too strong, but it is just very pleasant.

On the skin: Herbally yet clean. Almost smells like peppermint? Yeah, this one smells like a light peppermint. This is a sweet peppermint though. Not strong at all.

On the skin: First of all, I should mention that this scent only has death notes of mine in it. Smelling it.... I think I can only really smell the dark musk. It goes immediately to a sickly sweet powder on me. :ick: Eeeep.... Not for me at all.

“The Pretty Era”, France’s Golden Time: an age of beauty, innovation and peace in France that lasted from the 19th Century through the first World War and gave birth to the cabaret, the cancan, and the cinema as well as the Impressionist and Art Nouveau movements. Sweet opium, Lily of the Valley, vanilla, mandarin and red sandalwood. On the skin: All I can smell at the moment is Lily of the Valley. A lovely white floral. Hmmm, I think I can catch a whiff of mandarin as well. This seems like mandarin peel (kind of tart). This scent wafts. I can barely smell it on my skin, but I can smell it even better further away. This scent is very pretty, but I don't think it is for me. Just don't get enough of the notes I was hoping for!

On the skin: Mmmmm, smooth and spicy. Warm, musky, and comforting. I think this one fades a bit too quickly for me though. I will have to try wearing this a full day and see how it lasts! Uh, oh. The clove is completely dominating. Eep. I want the original scent back! Hmmm, I will definitely need to try this one again!

On the skin: Eeeek! That is some strong vetiver. It is not good on me at all. It smells like icky, dirty cigarettes on me. Sadly this scent is not for me at all. *sigh* The other notes all sounded so good to me.
