Oooh nice! Creamy orris butter, vanilla, warm amber, and a light citrus vibe from the bergamot. I would love this as a lotion. It's thick, heady, sexy, I love it!  Kind of reminds me of Lyonesse.

Black oudh is fantastic. I'm just not picking up any carnation! I agree with other reviewers that it's similar to Streets of Detroit. Thick, viscous oudh. It's very cool and don't-fuck-with-me.

I'm not familiar with kadu leaf, but this is a clean, crisp, green perfume, softened by the ume blosson floral note. I'm not picking up any lavender, plum or cedar. Overall a green, exotic floral. Not my usual pick, but nice!

Unique and lovely! Rosewood is the dominant note, sweetened and warmed by amber and vanilla. I'm not picking up a lot of woodsiness from the oak or hinoki wood, but it's there. Very pretty.

A dry, masculine scent with strong notes of patchouli, raspy hiba wood, and bitter black tea.  A cologne for a refined, sophisticated man. The tea note mellows with time and it's quite lovely!

A smoky, musky coconut blend. There's a sourness to it like sour milk, hopefully that fades. LATER: It didn't.  Other reviewers also note the funky odor, so I guess it's not just me having a bad reaction to this one.

SUPER JASMINE! This floral is not for the faint of heart. Along wih the jasmine, I notice another floral...perhaps tuberose. I don't get any oakmoss. Just solid, strong florals. It's pretty nice, but I have other jasmine blends I prefer. 

Even softer than Neuf...ghostly whispers of rose petals, with hints of vanilla and saffron. I'm not sure what the "ancient spices" are otherwise. It's a little too faint and delicate for me.

Soft roses blended with woodsy/resinous notes. The woods are more prominent than the rose, which is actually very delicate. A sweet and subtle fragrance, lovely in its gentle way.

Like the pitch black center of a pine forest at night. Think Black Forest but darker. The darkest woods, nuts, resins, tar. I love it!

Light cherry blossom blended with sweet strawberries. If you've tried the strawberry-scented Dial soap, it's similar, lol.  This is an innocent, girly scent - my 8-year-old daughter would love this.

Sweet and seductive, an exotic floral blend. The jasmine is so sexy with the wisps of poppy smoke curling through, and the dark, lush fruitiness of plum. Date night scent for sure!

Must have a bottle!! Juicy sweet strawberries with a dusting of powdered sugar and creamy marshmallow. I really want to sniff mallow blossoms in real life some times, because I never have and this is amazing and just perfumy enough to wear to work, not totally foody. Love. So. Much.

Energizing, happy, vibrant, warm, sweet, refreshing! The amber and orange blossom are SO complimentary. The oudh makes it dry and warm and like a cologne. I love sweet orange blossom, it's one of the best notes for mood I think! The honey is a gorgeous addition and makes the whole thing quite sexy!

Just as roseus said, tea and vanilla mostly, with an undertone of polished mahogany. I'd like a tea that smelled this good, and I'm also happy to wear this perfume! Elegant and refined.

First impression - very similar to the "autumn leaves/cologne" note in October. More bitter and masculine than I expected. As it dries down, that sharpness smooths out and the distinctive warmth of ambergris appears. Soft and grey like fuzzy wool. But there's still a bitter note I dislike, and it somehow smells like Mexican food of all things, which I've also gotten with Bella Donna de mia Mente. Who knows!?

 Bubbly jasmine. Like, jasmine flavored LaCroix! That bubbly!

No carnation, maybe a little blackcurrant or plum, just adding a very light fruity sweetness. It's mostly fizzy jasmine. Makes me smile!

Deep yellow-brown oil.  This reminds me at first of my beloved GC Athens, due to the strong myrrh note. And then, not blood, but wine -- fruity and tart! And here's soapy iris, and rose. As it dries...no more wine, just sweet myrrh and florals. So sweet it's almost candy-like.  I like it but a decant will suffice.

Hey, it's the creamy almond milk note that I love from Organ Grinder! Here it blends with a pop of fizzy sweet peach blossom. Almost like a peach champagne, fun and flirty. No amber or musk that I can tell. This is a vivacious, bubbly scent. I think I prefer the earthiness of Organ Grinder, as far as almond blends go.

Orchid, blended with a fruity, sweet tea. I'm not getting specifically a honeycomb note, so much as honey-sweetened tea. It's nice but it's one of those floral blends that feels too mature for me.

I will buy anything with star jasmine listed among the notes! Unfortunately, this one didn't work out. The orris is far more noticeable than the jasmine or the honeysuckle. I was hoping for the jasmine to be front and center. Orris is sweet, so dry, so powdery. Not really getting any other notes out of it, so I will swap.

RED MUSK!! As often happens, red musk overpowers eveything else. The mimosa, clove, and florals make an amazing backdrop. It's like a heavily floral version of Smut. I would wear this often...sexy and fun!

Lilac and lily, with a pop of nectarine sweetness. The citrus quickly fades, and it's strictly florals for a bit. The green tea appears next, and the beeswax smooths all the notes together. No ginger or bergamot for me. I'm beginning to think I'm just not a lilac lover. It always feels too mature and staid for me. Off to swaps.

A bouquet of fresh, white and blue flowers, dew still on the petals. I like it, though I'm unable to name any particular flowers at first. After it dries down, the rose note becomes noticeable, and also something really lush -- oleander? This is very pretty and work-appropriate, it will go into the rotation.

Bright, bold honeysuckle, with wildflowers and green grass faintly in the background. This note is strong and long-lasting. I'm still smelling it 8 hours later. I prefer it once it dries down, when it goes all sweet and powdery. Reminds me of the honeysuckle that thrives here in the spring, a very true floral perfume.
