2011 Version On the skin: Plastic snickerdoodles? Argh! Where is that plastic coming from? Kinda boozy as well. So sad this one isn't right for my skin.
-
Whoa! Sweet candy (gummies of some kind?), gingerbread, and a hint of mint? Very interesting. The candy/bubblegum throws me off though. I'm not used to it being mixed with a spicy gingerbread. I love the idea of this scent, but it just isn't for me.
-
On the skin: Wow! I was expecting sneeze inducing cologne, but instead... it is kinda woodsy with a hint of aquatic thrown in. Now this is how cologne should be done! After a bit, things begin to feel a little.... fizzy? Maybe like there is a bit of tonic thrown in? Very interesting. I think I need to try this one on my SO.
-
On the skin: This is a very fresh, floral scent. It is just very pretty. After a bit, it becomes a bit powdery. Is that the blue musk? Never headachy which is good! This one definitely isn't for me, but it is pretty.
-
Orris is usually a powder of doom death note on me, so we'll see how this works out... On the skin: There is a bit of powderiness here, but mostly I just get this feeling of cleanness. It smells like fresh laundry pulled out of the dryer when it still has a bit of the detergent/clean smell. Pleasant, but not my thing.
-
On the skin: This one is very smooth and kinda spicy on me. Pretty yummy! Kinda gingery, incensey, spicy goodness. I need to try this again, but I am definitely liking it at the moment.
-
On the skin: This blend is very... elegant. Kind of an herbal/floral honey. Very pretty! After a bit, this one turns very green on me. It is sadly a little sharp for me though. Not for me which is sad because it started out so pretty.
-
On the skin: Very green with some lily and a cold feeling. That is pretty much all I get. Nice, but not for me.
-
2011 On the skin: I don't know evergreen and juniper would smell so good together! Reminds me of the smell of gin. With a hint of lime. Yep, reminds me of a gin and tonic with lime hold the alcohol. It smells tasty to me, but not something I'd wear.
-
On the skin: Vetiver? Dusty dirty vetiver? With a breeze of cold. Definitely not for me.
-
2011 Version On the skin: Lovely herbs and florals. It turns very green on my skin. It's very pretty and green (never turns soapy on me at all). Not for me, but this is pretty lovely.
-
On the skin: Strawberries! With.... cream and vanilla? After a bit I get some florals and honey. Definitely a pretty scent! I wish the vanilla wouldn't keep threatening to turn plastic on my skin. I think I may need to try this one again.
-
Just looking at the notes, I can't think of why I swapped for this one. On the skin: Dusty with a hint of suntan lotion (must be the dragon's blood) and fruit? Very weird. Wow, after the first application, this one changes pretty drastically. Now I get an herbiness that wasn't there before. And a hint of orange? I'd actually completely agree with Nymeria who said this smells like orange/lemon tea. Definitely an herbal tea rather than black tea. Weird! Not for me.
-
This does smell like a Christmas tree! Well, not exactly like the Christmas tree I had this year. This scent has more of a... dirt note to it? After a bit, that slight dirtiness fades and it just smells like tree. Very nice, but not for me!
-
It starts out smelling like bubblegum on me. After a bit, I get a weird sour note (grapefruit?) in addition to the sweetness laced with a hint of evergreen and ice. Really really interesting. I don't think I have ever smelled anything quite like this.
-
On the skin: A very green woodsy scent. Not evergreen though. Well, maybe a hint of evergreens... Very planty and green! Slight sweetness coming from somewhere? Doesn't smell too cold to me, but mostly a nice outdoorsy smell. Not for me, but it is quite lovely!
-
On the skin: Lots of woods! That is pretty much all I can smell. It is like a piece of new lumber still with a bit of sap scent. After a bit, I get some honey sweetness, but this is still very heavy in the woods scent. Sadly not for me. Ah, well.
-
On the skin: A perfumy/dusty parchment. This really smells like a spritz of alcohol perfume with a bit of dusty book mixed in. Very strong. Sadly, not for me.
-
Hmmm, not what I was expecting. Kind of a clovey, almost cold scent. Really weird. It just does not smell good on me.
-
This one is really pretty. I get quite a bit of the lily and lilac, but they are sweetened a bit with the nectarine and beeswax. Not headachy at all! Sadly this isn't really my kind of scent though, so off to the swaps!
-
This one is incredibly musky! Tons and tons of lovely red musk with an ambery floral sweetness to it. I think this is fantastic! Must be all the musk and black orchid!
-
This one really reminds me of The Girl. A floralish, slightly green vanilla. The Girl may have been a little stronger on the vanilla for me, but they are quite similar. I absolutely love the label! I think this one is going to stick around for a bit in my collection!
-
This is kinda.... good! Reminds me of Wood Phoenix? Kind of a smooth, slightly sweet wood scent. Not tree exactly. More like a well worn old wooden desk. It smells pretty good, but it just isn't for me. For some odd reason, the smell makes me sick after a bit.
-
Rock the protester cliché! This is a filthy friggin' patchouli, dark, deep, rooty, and strangely sexy, with cocoa absolute, tobacco absolute, and bourbon vanilla. Whoa! That is some incredibly dirty patchouli! They weren't kidding! Wow, it smells like being in the soil area of a home and garden store. Sadly I can't smell much else from this one. It is just so dusty and dirty.
