I wore Black Lily on my wedding day last summer. It's one of the only floral/light scents that I like, and that my husband likes, and it was a summer outdoor wedding, so it fit
-
Maybe my imp is aged or something, it's from a swap.. but this smells very sweet and perfume-y - not like a fresh cucumber at all A cloying scent. I don't get any grass from it- which is what I wanted.
-
I really really wanted to like this one - but I don't It is way too masculine- and I'm not usually afraid of masculine, but this is very aftershave-y. I prefer smooth and spicy, but this is sharp and herbal.
-
This smells like fancy perfume, but I like it. It is sort of sweet, herbal, gently floral, loveliness.
-
Bluebeard is the first of many scents that made me realize that I HATE violet.
-
All honey.. way too sweet and cloying for me. I swapped it already.
-
MMM YUMMY! This is SO NICE! It is very similar to the amazing GC 'no.93 engine' because of the beeswax.. but with no spiciness- just smooth, sweet, fabulous, slightly-fruity goodness.
-
This is so nice and grassy at first.. but on me it dries down to a strong, sweet, almost powder-y musk- blech. Coyote did the same thing, so I can see the comparisons.
-
Add me to the list of people who say this goes to powder on them.
-
I wanted to like this one, but it is too cologne-y/masculine for me. It is hard to describe.. sort of like dark, masculine lemon.
-
This is everything I hoped for! I'd describe it as a rather dry vanilla-tabacco.
-
Bow and Crown of Conquest! It is amazing! It is like Tombstone (fabulous) but a bit more masculine.
-
Like others have said, this starts off VERY pine-y and sharp but after about 15 minutes it softens into something much nicer. I'm not sure if I LOVE the dry down, but it is much better than when it is wet. Don't be too quick to judge this one.
-
Yum!! I love this one. Floral haters, do not fear. Aquatic haters, do not fear. This all vanilla on me- but not cloying at all (antique lace, I'm looking at you..). Very romantic. This is similar to Haloes, but I like this better.
-
I thought I would like this one more- but it is too sticky sweet for me. Not very much clove.

Yum yum yum! This is lovely and not too buttery. -
Love love love this one. I bought a rather aged bottle (unsniffed) and the scent is rather faint - but still lovely! A calming, smooth lavender. I like slathering myself in it before bed.
-
Dark musk, pimento berry, oakmoss, birch wood, and petitgrain. I'm not crazy about this one.. very dark and masculine. I get cigarette smoke too- like someone else said.
-
Anyone know what the deal is with Baghdad? Is this an an aging thing? Here are my two imps- the darker one is much nicer and less musky/powder-y.
-
I knew I would love this one!! I like the hint of pine... this isn't cleaning-product pine- this is sexy pine! To me this is a gorgeous spicy vanilla patchouli blend.

I was just testing Minotaur- and it smells a lot like my other absolute favourite scent- Heavenly Love and Earthly Love. It's retail-only but that's technically GC, I think. Both scents make me swoon. -
I can't compare this one to the other sleep blends because I haven't smelled them yet- but I LOVE this one. I really like the lavender + herb/citrus/whatever it is. I wouldn't wear it as a perfume, but it is lovely before bed.
