In the bottle: yep, that is definitely vanilla ice cream!!

 

On the skin: It immediately becomes a vanilla that is threatening to turn plasticky. It isn't there yet, but close.... Drying down, I am getting a sweet vanilla cream. Similar to Antique Lace, but more..... creamy. It doesn't remind me of ice cream anymore though. Now it is a more perfumey vanilla. Very strange. Light blend with little throw.

 

I am not sure if this is a blend for me. I love the name, but I may have to swap it away...

Mmmmm! Cinnamony? Spicy! Yum!! Smells the same from the decant to the skin.

 

This one reminds me of Christmas. I think there might also be something like............. cranberries? Pretty good actually!

In the imp: vanilla buttercream goodness! Wow!

 

On the skin: Whoa! This is the first vanilla that I have encountered that has turned to plastic on me. It now smells like buttery vanillaish plastic. Strong on the plastic. Ick.

Wow! Oh me this is a leather and piney scent. It is so manly!!

 

I will have to try this on the SO, but this is definitely manly and sexy!

This one starts out incredibly awesome! Banana Cream pie!! Mmmmmmmmmmm! After ten minutes though, the banana cream pie scent is gone. All that is left, is a strange metallic scent. *sigh* This started out so good.

I don't normally like poppy or patchouli, but here goes.....

 

Ooooh! I like white musk! This reminds me of White Phoenix. Wow, almost exactly like White Phoenix! The white musk is nice and calming. I really like this blend...

On me this is cedar. Smells like a man's cologne.

 

Dry down is less cedar, more smooth. Pretty nice actually! Would be perfect on the right man.

This one is a crazy morpher!

 

At first it reminds me of Reeses. Awesome peanut butter and chocolate.

 

Later, both chocolate and peanut butter disappear and now I am smelling jelly. Must be the grenadine.

 

Scent only lasts an hour or so.

Mmmmmmm! Now I really want an Egg Nog Latte!! This scent doesn't change much from the bottle to the skin for me. It smells wonderful, but sadly I would rather be drinking it than wearing it...

Eeeek! In the bottle this is a nice aquatic scent, but the moment it hits my skin.... hello, soap!

 

This scent has a blue green feel, and in the bottle I believe I can smell cactus (though I have definitely forgotten what they actually smell like....)

 

Overall, I wish that this scent had played nicer on my skin.

 

 

 

I am afraid that I can't do dragon's blood and this definitely smells like pure dragon's blood on me. Right from the start it is a soapy floral smell, and that never changes. Not my thing at all.

In the bottle: Resiny and very slightly woodsy. Reminds me of the sweet wood (teak maybe? tonka?) from Wood Phoenix.

 

On the skin: This blend takes on a life of its own! So pleasant and comforting! I have never smelled anything quite like this before and can't equate it with any places I have been. So unique! On me, the dry down is sweetish, yet with an overall resiny base.

 

I don't usually like scents like this, so the notes are extremely hard to place. Very lovely though! I could see this as being an excellent scent on the right man. Now where is my SO.... hee hee!

 

-EDIT- This one also lasts FOREVER on my skin. Wow! And it also has an amazing throw!

Very similar to AF6 in my opinion. I think this blend may have peach as well, but it is not the first note I smell. Plum maybe? There is also an almost effervescent quality that reminds me of musk, but that could just be my strange nose. Definitely a sweet fruit musk.

This blend stayed the same for me from the bottle to the skin. It smelled almost exactly like lime Skittles. Not bad, but definitely not my kind of scent.

 

-ETA- Years later this still smells like lime Skittles! Tasty, but not for me!

In the bottle: A very pleasant, Victorian-feeling perfume. Definitely some floral, possibly violets? Maybe a hint of roses? There is something else in here, as it is not entirely floral. Very lovely and sophisticated!

 

On the skin: Mmmmm, becomes a bit sweeter! It does not have too much of a throw or is overpowering like florals can be. Instead, it is nice and sweet. Definitely an "I feel pretty" blend.

In the bottle: Nice peaches! Reminds me more of the peach smell from Snow Angel rather than the fresh peaches of Philommeides. Peach is the only note I pick up, though this is definitely a perfumey peach rather than a yummy peach.

 

On the skin: Still peaches, but now there is definitely something else there. I have no idea what it is. Nice, sweet, yet not really foody.

In the bottle: At first I thought I smelled some kind of fruit, but now I think there might be something vanillaish in there as well. I am really at a complete loss when it comes to determining the notes in this one. It is just a lovely, perfumey blend. So comforting and nice!

 

On the skin: Okay, I am getting some note that also was in Glowing Vulva, as well as a deep fruit. Pretty good. It is definitely a perfumey blend. No foodiness in this one!

 

This one is definitely a keeper! The boyfriend appreciates it as well (and he is VERY picky only really liking foody scents). A wonderful shocker!

In the bottle: Candied, sweet oranges! So yummy! To me, it is close to Jingo-Kogo, yet this one does not have as much creaminess. It is more sugary than creamy.

 

On the skin: Exactly the same as in the bottle! Also, this scent actually lasts quite a bit on me for an orangey scent! Yay!

 

One of my favorite scents of the night!!

Wow! I just tried this scent at Cobwebs, and it just breaks my heart!

 

On my skin, this is the perfect lily scent. It is perfect, sweet, white lilies with no greeness whatsoever. This scent is truly wonderful for my floral loving self, and I wish I could snatch up at least 3 bottles of it!! Also, as of now I can still smell it, even though I dabbed it on around.... 5 hours or so ago.

On the skin: Wow, nice, sweet cologne. Not bad at all! Definitely getting mostly perfumey aquatics. Don't smell any hint of metallic gold. On my skin, this scent does not morph one bit, but only fades away slowly.

This one is the perfect scent for a watery goddess. The only problem here is that I identify more with fiery/earthy scents. Ah, well. It shall find a good home!

In the bottle: Wow! A high sweetness. Bit fruity.

 

On the skin: Whoa, what ever fruit is in here is just about the only thing I can smell. Plum? Maybe a tiny bit of florals as well.

 

Overall: Not really my thing sadly. Very nice though.

 

-ETA-

Definitely fruity. I still want to say plum. There is a bit of a musky/incense quality to this as well. Not getting much spice at all. This is actually kind of a light scent on me.

 

Still, not a scent for me.

10 ml of Snake Oil, please?

On the skin: Incense, clove, and cedar are the only things I recognize. Maybe a hint of a floral that must be the carnation. On the dry down, it is pure incense and cedar.

 

It is nice, but not really my thing...

On the skin: Wow, a really strong melon and semi spiciness that must be red musk. After a bit, the musk dies down, and it is just the melon left.

 

I am afraid that this was not one of my favorite Warrior Queens.

In the bottle: Wasn't one of my favorites since it smelled incredibly grapefruitish to me.

 

On the skin: It must be the musk, but this scent takes on an ethereal tartness. Quite pleasant. There is a hint of the fresh lovely jasmine flower smell that I have been desperately looking for. Must track down decants to fill my partial bottle!!
