This is was very lemony on me. The litsea cubeba was very loud for the first several hours, then it turned into a very cologney scent. I thought it was my husband because he had just taken a shower, but it was me. It wasn't calming on me, but I could see this being a good scent for the atmosphere.

This is a really beautiful scent. Narcissus is a big ole white indolic scent on me at first. I had to double check the notes to make sure there wasn't oud in it because I was getting a bit of barnyard. It settles down quickly into a beautiful, bossy white floral that slowly begins to give way (but never fully) to the orris butter and vanilla. Over time this settles down into a sweet, creamy scent that is predominantly vanilla and amber with the orris adding a little creaminess, the narcissus adding a little floral, and the bergamot adding a little fresh bubbliness.

Champa and oud are the strongest notes in this. Which for me means this smells like soapy poo.

This is a soapy cologne. Sweet bourbon vetiver and bergamot are the strongest scents to me.

This is a cardamom mate tea with an herbal undernote. It's very soothing. ETA: It reminds me of drinking my favorite coffee shop's chai mate. If it had coconut, it would smell just like it.

This is a very soft lovely scent that starts off with a rosy amber with a non-corn chips salt. It dries down to a soft, sweet, salty scent without much throw and staying power. It's very pretty, but also not very long-lasting.

Same, but without the brown sugar. It's like cinnamon oatmeal. It reminds me a lot of Halfling.

I'm a sometimes-fig. The only blends it's worked in for me are Tweedledum, Blodughadda, and Lola Lee Loo (and that one pushes it a little). It usually goes powdery and cloying on me.

Oh no! This smells like freshly opened Barbie hair, which, may be totally apropos.

This is a very sweet spray. After a year of aging, the honey and honeysuckle has become aggressively sweet, bordering on cloying. It's still very pretty, but a little goes a long way.

This is a sweet honey with spicy clove and cinnamon. It makes me hungry every time I spritz it. For me the spicy notes hold their own with the honey. This is after a year of aging, so it might be better now than when it first released.

Rosy, fruity sweetness tempered and deepened by musk. It doesn't give you a cavity like Fuzzy Pink Handcuffs or Strawberry and Rosebud, but it's in the same family. Strong sillage doesn't hang around long, but it is still light and on the skin for a couple of hours. It gets on clothes and smells amazing later. This is a pink scent, but more of a darker rose pink than a bubblegum or hot pink.

Oh, I love Wilde. It smells like a really classy hotel lotion, like something you'd get at Aveda. I get the lavender and thyme blending very well into a soothing herbal that isn't abrasive or sharp. There's tonka's sweetness, and moss grounding everything.

This is a beeswaxy honey, a little sweet musk (not the sharp screeching white musk), and a little metallic and floral ting.

Black musk, light honey, a little saffron, and lemon lightly brightening this. None of my problem notes go crazy and this isn't a super strong blend. Lovely and sexy.
