I had a bottle of this once and forgot to review it, so I managed to acquire one again a few years later. Here goes! On the skin: A sweet, musky, floral scent. I am mostly smelling the rose and can't seem to pick up much of the stargazer lily. It is very pretty, but just not for me. I am going to stick to L'inverno for my stargazer lily!

On the skin: Smells like a sugary plum scent to me! Kinda like Sugar Plum Fairy? After a bit, I start to smell a bit of the other notes. Can't really pick anything out specifically, but overall it is kind of a dark fruit with hints of floral (rose?). It's still sweet, but after a bit I wouldn't describe this as sugary. Wow, not what I was expecting from a scent called Sugar Moon! This is pretty, but I don't think it is for me.

On the skin: Definitely patchouli. Not as dirty as other patchouli's I've tried, but there is still a bit of dirtiness to this one. There is also a vanilla sweetness and a slight woodsy smell to this one. Wow, it's good! The dirtiness is tamed a bit by the sweetness and wood. I definitely wouldn't wear this one to work because of the patchouli, but otherwise it is definitely delightful! I don't think I need two bottles though!

On the skin: That is some juicy strawberry candy. Definitely reminds me of candy or jam rather than fresh strawberries. Wow, I think I am going to take that first statement back! As time goes on this strawberry just turns... juicy! It seems so much more like a real strawberry than before! I can also smell a hint of green grasses that must be the dandelion. This is just juicy and tasty! A bit of honey sweetness peaks out every so often, but really the strawberry is the center of this scent. The best strawberry blend I have ever worn! Not sure quite yet if it will stick around since I would probably never wear it, but it is really yummy!

On the skin: Definitely patchouli and.... anise leather? Huh. This makes me think of a leather hat that has been worn through dust and dirt with a hint of spicy men's shampoo still clinging to the inside. I get a bit more of the green matcha on the dry down. Very dirty, green, leather. Interesting, but it just isn't for me.

On the skin: Icy snow note. Wouldn't quite equate this with mint, but it is close! And a lovely yellow floral note. I'd say this is what I think Snow Bunny should smell like! I don't think I'll ever really wear something like this, but it is really pretty!

On the skin: A plastic honey? With some dragon's blood. This does not smell so good on me. I don't know what is happening with this one, but it just smells... really bad on me. It's kinda making me feel a little sick.

On the skin: Tomato leaf and honey? Really interesting! Kind of a green honey scent. Not too sweet. After a bit this one does take on a cologne feel. Definitely different, but a little too green for my taste.

On the skin: Grapefruit, mandarin and pepper? Really interesting and different! Hmmm, it kinda starts to take on an herbal feel after a bit. I could definitely see this being a citrus herbal garden where butterflies like to congregate! This is the perfect citrus scent, only the herbal/pepper part throws me off a bit. It fades after a bit, but I just don't find the early stages to appealing. Off to the swaps.

For the deep scent of this one, I am surprised that the oil is completely clear! On the skin: Ooooh, that is some yummy cacao! With orange. And woods.... and why is this starting to smell like meat on my skin? Orange chocolate meat? What?! Sadly this one is not for me. I am really hungry now though!

I had a bottle of this awhile ago, but it just didn't work for me. Well, I managed to end up with this scent in my collection again, and this time... On the skin: This is good! It is heavy on the leather, but I just really like it! Leather, sweet musk, and oakmoss for the most part on me. I think I might need to attack my SO with this at some point. This one will be sticking around for a bit. Especially since watching Supernatural and becoming really attached to the Crowley character. Yay for Mark Sheppard!

This is one of those scents that I decide to let go, then end up purchasing again later. So now I am going to write a review that will hopefully stop this! On the skin: Sweet and pretty with a bit of smooth leather. I love how smooth and easy to wear this blend is! No sharpness to this one at all! The sweetness reminds me slightly of vanilla, but it is actually more than just that. Vanilla and honey sweet florals? Very nice! Really, I think this one is going to stick around this time. Might need to death match it against a few others though!

Not sure if this is the Original or Res.... On the skin: Kinda alcohol smell with vanilla and linen. Weird! After a bit this just smells like a wispy vanilla linen. The alcohol bit disappeared! It smells like pretty, clean linen. The vanilla does start to blossom. I like the dry down okay enough, but this one just doesn't wow me as other blends have.

I'm getting confused with the Black Lace labels. Which one is this one pictured below? Is it the Res. or the Original?

On the skin: Nice smooth leather lavender with a hint of tea. Doesn't smell sharp at all! This is actually a very friendly lavender. I do like how smooth this blend is! After a bit, it begins to smell slightly sweeter. Interesting and lovely, but I don't think it is for me.

On the skin: This one is crazy interesting! Orangey resin? I want to say this reminds me slightly of A Wonderful Light. Wow! This blend is gorgeous and lovely while slightly tasty at the same time! I can smell the carnation a bit better as time goes on (yummy spicy carnation) and it just gets better and better! I will be hoarding every single drop! Wow! Based on the notes, this one shouldn't work on me (half the listed ingredients are death notes for me), but it is actually so yummy!

On the skin: Black musk is normally a death note for me, so here goes nothing! I definitely smell the black musk here, but it doesn't turn to super sweet powder of doom on me this time. Crazy! Smooth and musky with a blend of resiny sweetness running through. This is an awesome smelling panther! I really like this one and so does the SO, so I think it is a keeper!

On the skin: That is some spicy cardamom. Makes me think of baking. Mmmmmm! I get a slight hint of patchouli as well, but the cardamom completely dominates this one for me. The spicy slap of the cardamom does smooth out a bit as time goes on, but I still can't really smell any of the other notes. At least, I can't tell if I can. Ah! I think I can smell a leather/patchouli combination under there! It took awhile, but now I can definitely smell some leather and a hint of slightly dirty patchouli. At this stage.... I LOVE IT! This blend smells really good! This one will be a keeper for now. I just wish I could tone down the cardamom a bit!

On the skin: Kind of clean smelling with a smear of sweet tobacco. Definitely makes me think of the tobacco from A Bachelor's Dog. After a bit, the tobacco goes a bit crazy and completely takes over. I can still smell that cleanness underneath, but that sweet tobacco is just overwhelming. Not for me at all.

On the skin: Creamy slightly woodsy spice! This goes a bit powdery on my skin, but it is quite pleasant. It's not really for me (the powderiness just makes it smell a bit fake on my skin).

On the skin: This is really fizzy! Ginger ale annnnd.... a creamy sourness as well. Really interesting. After a bit the fizziness backs off a little. It still smells like creamy ginger lime, but now I am getting an undertone of spice. Really interesting! I don't think this one is for me, but I am really grateful for the chance to have smelled it! fairy! -ETA- Later on, this becomes quite the vanilla cream scent. Now all I can smell is sweet vanilla ice cream!

That is some patchouli and musk! The cocoa disappears immediately on my skin and instead I am left with a blend of dirty patchouli, musk, and woods. To me this smells manly and amazing! It's not really for me, but if I found a man that smelled like this... After a bit, a sweet, almost vanilla note starts popping in. Reminds me of the parts I liked about Banshee Beat without the overpowering dirt. The cocoa starts to sneak back in a bit later as well, but it isn't overpowering at all. Wow.... I really like this one the longer it sits on my skin! I think this one is hoard worthy!

to my fairy! Still slightly getting over a cold, so my sniffer might not be able to smell everything just yet. May need to come back a bit later and edit this review. I love orchid as a scent (yay for the black orchid proto!), so I knew I needed to try this one! On the skin: Huh, this one is not quite what I was expecting. I get a smooth orchid scent with a hint of.... lime? Must be that aquatic everyone else is getting. The combination though... it's very sophisticated and sexy! This does feel like the same sort of orchid from the Black Orchid proto which makes me happy! I'll need to try this one again.

fairy! Still slightly getting over a cold, so my sniffer might not be able to smell everything just yet. May need to come back a bit later and edit this review. On the skin: Slightly woody (my nose thinks sandalwood but it must be the cedar) and vanilla sweet! Wow! This smells great! Slightly soft, but again it could be my nose. A very comforting/warm scent. I just want to wrap myself in this one and take a nap!

This is similar to Dorian, but I think I like this one better! Less sweet with a bit of leather. The leather gets a bit stronger as time goes on, but thankfully it is the kind of leather that works on my skin! Kind of a cologneish leather, but better than cologne. Slight lemon tinge. I need to douse my SO in this! Nice!
