Kabooki

When I first put this on it’s such a wonderful sweet vanilla with a very faint touch of flowers in the background. As it dries it starts to smell like linens and vanilla, there is some floral here, but they are very deeply hidden Honestly this doesn’t change much on me, except to get a little lighter. My husband can’t stop complementing me though, saying that this is a very nice womanly scent. I might just have to pick up a nice big bottle of this

This is a wonderful strong tropical fruit drink. I can totally pick out the Guava in this as well as the tangerine. Its fun, and fruity, and makes me think back to our Hawaii vacation last month. Unfortunately there is something in here that is causing me to sneeze like crazy, this later turned into a mini allergy attack. Going to try this again to make sure its not somethign in the air, but it will break my heart if I can't wear this :/

Almost as soon as I say “Hmm that smells like Guava!” Xanthe begins to change into something so much more. She is a mix of Fruits and Sugar, with the sugar becoming more and more promante and it becomes a sugary orange. This lasts forever and never really loses its sweet sugared fruit edge at all. I seriously just want to roll around in this stuff

This I think is going to be my signature scent when all is said and done. The fruits and the florals work so well together creating a wonderful dance of smells. I have tried an aged version in an imp (not sure how old) and bought a bottle, and there are some differences, but both versions are wonderful and recommend this to anyone.

This smells like cherries (I think I'm the only one that gets this LOL) and almonds and a bit of butterscotch and cream… As it dries it starts to smell like a boozed up honey, but other then that its rather bland About an hour or so in it faded completely on me, which is sad cause I wanted to really like this one

Wet: Wow this is a wonderfully sweet scent. It smells like bubblegum and various fruits, like pineapples, and mangos and other great tropical fruits. As it dries it starts to turn into this tropical lip gloss I have, still sweet and creamy, but has a very fake feel to it. It’s still not a bad scent though, just not something I can see myself wearing again.

It smells of salt and soap. I am starting to think I need to stay away from awautics as the two I have tired have instantly turned to soap, or at least bodywash that is labeled like “Ocean mist”or some such thing. I really wish I could get the smells of the ocean like other people have, but so far its not looking good. I do agree with others that this seems to be a very manly scent and very long lasting, I put this on hours ago and its still going strong into the swap pile with you matey!

Evil incarnate. Revel in your dark side with this romantically cruel scent. Contains red patchouli and vetivert. It smells like a forest fire. Or Lapsang Souchong, honestly I can only take a small whiff of the imp as it can bring tears to my eyes on how strong it is. Though I have been wrong in the past when it comes to imp to skin. LUCKILY it mellows out really fast and I start to feel like smoke shop, or several parties I went to in high school , this is a definitely a dark blend, it makes me think about wearing velvet and dark eyeshadow Glad I tried it but this isn’t me at all and is going right into the swap pile and me to the bathroom to scrub this off!

Wet: I smell like I just got done cleaning the wood in my house with a bunch of lemon pledge. Surprisingly enough even though I’m a Virgo I don’t like to smell like cleaning products… It dries down pretty fast and becomes just a very faint scent of lemon cleaning products, oh wait there is a touch hidden deep within of the aloe. I really wish I was getting the green tea everyone else seems to have found Maybe I can wear this one when I want to convince my husband I just got done cleaning

This is Heaven! Even my husband from across the room said “What are you wearing?! Its wonderful!” Make no bones about it, this starts off very strong and smells like this Mexican hot chocolate we will drink in the winter, with just the slightest touch of cinnamon. As it dries the intensity begins to fade, but its still something that screams “I smell like chocolate!” It makes me feel warm and wonderful and I am going to have to scour ebay for a bottle of this cause I don’t think I can ever part with it….

Starts off light, and never seems to get stronger. Even while its wet I am forgetting that I am even wearing it, as it does dry though I smell baby powder and milk. Honestly it never really does anything more on me and while its not a horrible scent, its just not anything special and not something I would buy a big bottle of. Though this might be good as a spray for like pillows and whatnot

I was very much on the fence about getting this one, and ended up buying it due to the dreams of others as to how they wanted the scent to turn out. All I can say is I am glad that I listened to them In the bottle it smells like hay, and lemon, and sweet grass. On my skin it starts off just like the bottle but soon morphs into sweet grass in the middle of summer, a touch of hay, and the scent of open fields with tall grasses, wheat, and the scent of summer. It stays close to me and becomes very light but not so much that you can’t tell its there. Overall this is what I had hoped it would be

I was super excited as this was my first bottle from the Carnaval In the bottle it smells like a Tandy Caramel Apple On my skin though it quickly turns into this dark chocolate caramel apple scent with this hint of something dirty on top of it. There are times when the apple really stands out and it becomes almost a chocolate floral, but for the most part it’s a very “dirty” or Musty scent. I don’t hate it, I just don’t think I would wear it often. Going to see how she ages and take it from there

This is one of my all time favorites so far. It starts off as a nice strong honey, with just a touch of floral notes in the background. As it dries it begins to become more of a spicy, herb like honey, very sweet and very warm. This scent is long lasting as well, and makes me feel girlie and wonderful

When I first put this one I am hit with a strong honey scent, with a touch of floral in the background. As it starts to dry the honey starts to mellow and it starts to get sweeter, but for the most part it doesn’t change from when I first put it on, only what I think is the amber (it reminds me a lot of one of the notes in Mouse’s Long and Sad Tale) comes out to play a little. Overall though this is a lovely scent and if you like honey then this one if for you.

When I first put it on I am hit with the scent of sweet black tea and clothing left to dry in the sun. White Rabbit doesn’t shift much on me, other then sometimes a little more tea will come through. Overall it’s a nice lingering scent that I am defiantly going to be buying a bigger bottle for.

My first thought is that it smells like a floral wet soap. It’s a very nice fresh scent like just getting out of the shower, or out of the ocean after snorkeling. As it dries I start to smell a little bit of salt water, but the soapieness is still there. It reminds me of these bath salts/bath brick salt thingies that my grandma and mom would give as part of Xmas gifts. Its like it’s the safe smell of the bathtub with some nice salt potions, but hidden under is the dark ocean, full of beauty and danger.

Wet It smells like black ice tea with lemon. As it dries it turns more and more into Earl Grey ice tea, it’s a very light scent but one that I enjoy, my only complaint is that it isn’t as “teaish” as I would have hoped it would have been based on what others have told me. The leather is deep in the back of this and just reminds me of drinking iced tea on a hot day and reading a book in the sun. As time goes on it keeps with the earl grey scent but sadly it fades rather fast on me. For now I think I will stick to White Rabbit for me tea needs….

Wet: Holy wow peppermint! With a slight touch of lavender, but make no bones about it, this is like “I’m Peppermint pay attention to me!!”, this quickly turns into a Chocolate Mint cookie like scent, which would be nice if it wasn’t just so strong. As it dries down it becomes an all out war between the lavender and the peppermint as to who will take control of the scent. Meanwhile deep down in the back of all of this I can smell what I can only describe as generic perfume just lying and waiting for its moment to shine. This isn’t one for the faint of heart!

I got this as a frimp and this would have never been one I would have gotten myself since I do nothing but amp rose to the point of a headache each time I put something with rose on, but it was free and I don’t want to just toss is away without at least trying it once… That being said, Wet: It smells like a rose garden, but not an overwhelming this is rose! It’s like you are walking in a botanic garden, stopping here and there to smell (heh) the roses and just the overall floral scent in the air as you wander through. Drying down: Sweet rose water with a touch of wood, and huzzah it still hasn’t exploded on me yet, but the day is still young… It never became over powering rose like so many roses in the past which made me very happy. This is totally a feminine and romantic scent, sadly this just isn’t one I need a bigger bottle of, if only because its not something I would wear more then on a special occasion.

Oh wow this is Bubbletape bubble gum! Childish, and pink and fun! It also smells like sugar, and cotton candy, and just all sorts of yummy joyish treats. AS it dries down it turns into cotton candy, and its strong enough that even my husband across the room asked me about it (mentioning how it reminded him of something as a kid). I can smell a little bit of strawberry in the background that makes me think of strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone. Totally in love with this and will be picking up a big bottle for those days that I want to really smell like a kid again.

I'm so sad that this didn't work on me This scents shifts a lot on me. It starts off as a very strong Hawaiian Punch like flavor, very fruity, very juicy and the smallest hint of flowers lurking underneath. As it dries it suddenly becomes overpowering Rose! So much rose and flowers that it starts to give me a headache. I tend to over amp rose anyway but this was just horribly overwhelming to me. About an hour later it transformed again into the wonderful scent of nectarines and peaches. Juicy and sweet like the fresh fruit, this was what I had been hoping for when I originally read the description. Unfortunately I don’t think I can stand to go through the rose phase again in order to get to the “good stuff” at the end. So while in the end it turned out wonderful on me, I just don’t see myself buying a big bottle.

Swank is all Pomegranate with maybe a small touch of vodka hidden deep down to add just a bit of pazzaz but what I love about Swank are the ideas it put in my head. Its very much a summertime scent, and reminds me of hot days, cool clubs, slinky black dresses, and night time BBQs. Its refreshing and sexy. I put this one several hours ago and its still going strong! Hands down a wonderful simple scent that I am going to e getting 5ml bottle of!

In the bottle I smelled fruit, I couldn't place what type of fruit but I didn't get any of the cake that others were talking about untill... On my skin it suddenly turned into cake. It reminded me of a sweet soft powdery cake. As it dried an image of two white soft cakes layered ontop of eachother came to mind, the middle was a warm jam, raspberry or strawberry, with light frosting on the top. I keep finding myself going to sniff my wrist and loving what I find there. If you like candy and sweets this one is for you!

This is one of my favorites. There is nothing about this perfume that I don't love. You can really pick out the vanilla and the sweetpea and on my skin it complments both of these. Overall this is a nice sweet scent with a little flowers, very nice and girlie, would be wonderful for a bath oil, and works great in my lotion! I recommend this one as keeper!
