I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet considering how much I love it. On my skin this is piney sweetness, with some aquatic tones. As it dries down it takes on a bit of a spice(maybe ginger?) but still stays piney. Very slightly floral, it stays pretty much in the background on me. I also get a slight musk from this. One of my favorite lunar blends by far.

This is amazingly good!!!!! Very rich, plumy. Very citrusy at first but that faded very quickly on me leaving this beautifully complex scent. The bergamot is faint and the grapefruit adds a wonderful crisp juicyness to this, but the plums, orris, and amber really round this out and make it seethe. A bottle of this is most surely being ordered very very soon.

Lavender, violet and something juicy? Juicy? There is a fruity juciness to this, a little of the ylang-ylang, I can definately detect it here. But juicy? Don't get me wrong, I love the juicy scent but where did it come from? The lilac starts coming out after a few minutes. Maybe a little too floral for my preferences but I can definately appreciate it.

Viola started off very green and very rosey on me. As it starts to dry down I could smell a little of the mandarin and I think that must be lily that I am smelling. A little while longer I smell some of the lilac and this starts taking a slight powdery scent. The rosewood is very faint in here but I can smell it if I look for it. I start smelling the amber after about 10 minutes or so and this starts to warm up but is still very rosey. I can also smell some of the moss too. It is actually very pretty. After about 20 minutes the florals have faded down on me and the sandalwood and amber have surfaced more making this a bit more woodsy and resiny smelling with a layering of florals. Very pretty.

This is another of the carnaval scents I will have to order multiple bottles of because it smells that good. When I put this on the incense is very strong, but there is also the spiceness of the carnation. As it faded I can smell the musk, and some of the rose and neroli, but the spicy incense feel is still there. I can absolutely invision siting in a gypsy's tent getting a reading. A darker scent with a definite smokey feel. Love it

I am so bad at picking out notes but here is my best try.
Wet on the skin: Guava!!! mango, kiwi, papaya...it is so juicy and smells like a tropical salad. I don't smell the lemon, it actually reminds me of some really fruity tropical drink.
Drydown: It keeps the same scent as when I first applied it but it isn't as strong, it has lightened up a little, but still sooo juicy and ripe. Definately a nice summery fragrance. I'm starting to smell a little more of peach, but I would say the dominant notes that come out on my skin are the guave, papaya, mango, and some apricot. This isn't a real citrusy fragrance, I can't smell the lemon or orange at all, it is the tropical fruits that really seem to blossom. Wow can I be any more repetitive?

So umm that is all for now because I am horrible at writing reviews!!!!

In the bottle I smell vanilla, wine and cherries, mmm yummy

Wet: The honey appears, but so does the vanilla and cherry. This smells wonderful.

Drydown: I can smell the musk in this and the vetiver.

 

I adore this blend. It lasted throughout the day on me, and smelled wonderful. A very creamy, honey, musky, cherry wine scent. The scent that emerges after an hour is seductive i couldn't stop sniffing my arm. I can definately smell the honey in this and it is so good with the musk. The cherry scent faded within an hour and wasn't very candy smelling.

 

Edited to say I tried this again and the clove comes out much more strongly at first but calmed down after a few minutes. It gives it a nice spicy feel along with the creaminess.

At first I did not want to try this because of the lavender, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The presence of the carnations made the lavender more bearable for me as they added a sweet spiceness that blends very well with the lavender scent, plus the amber really makes a nice mark. I think this may be a bit too masculine for me though, I thik it would smell wonderful on a guy.

When I first applied this it was very minty. It definately woke me up. After a couple of minutes the mint wasn't so in your face and settled down a little bit, but was still there. The spanish moss did come out a bit later but was hiding behind the mint.

This started off very minty, but that quickly faded within a couple of minutes. What was left behind was a bourbon, powdery smell that I need to press my nose against to smell. What I could smell was pretty but I can barely smell it. Smokey scented aftre a while too. I might have to order this but I contemplate retouching throughout the day alot, and the initial mintiness might make me go haywire(I'm not a mint fan). I'll try this a few more times and decide.

Peachy wine with amber and musk. A bottle of this is definately going into my next order because it is so beautiful. Fruity, golden, yet sexy. I am a sucker for anything that has musk in it, plus if you add amber yum!!! Not to mention the peachy wine smell. This lasted for hours too!! Dying!!

Wet: Very green dandelion. Very crisp scent. Very very green.

Drydown: The hops comes out and now I smell like a drunk dandelion.

Final Result: after about 30 minutes the tobacco smokiness comes out but there is still the greenness from the dandelion. The hops scent did not last that long.

Vanilla with a bit of a floral to it. I smell something slightly smokey as this wears. It isn't an edible kind of vanilla but it is creamy. The floral comes out more too, but the vanilla stays as a creaminess underneath. Phenomenal.

Wet: This smells like a green apple on me with some florals. Very clean and juicy.

Drydown: The florals come out more but I still smell like a fresh, crisp green apple. I really like this alot.

Final Verdict: I'm not much of a floral person but this is really yummy. I love the crispness of it, along with the apple scent. It smells really clean and fresh, juicy and floral. I feel very springy

Wet: why do I smell lemon? The lavender is also doing a good job in making its presence known. Also very green herbal. I must resist washing this off.

Drydown: The lemony scent is going down and the rose is coming out. Now it smells like lemon roses. I think I'm starting to smell the rosemary a bit too.

Final result: while this scent does calm down into something pretty, it is not something I can see myself wearing. The rose in this is very pretty though. The lemony scent does go away after a little while and this just smells like a herbal rose. Very light on me.

When wet on the skin: Very cherry and almond on me. Almost sticky sweet.

Drydown: still very cherry/almond sweet but I think I smell a little spiciness to it now.

After 10 minutes: there is more of a musky, spicy, sweetness to it. still definately smell the cherry and almond, but they aren't as strong.

At first the rose is very dominant, after a few minutes it calms down and I think I smell the lily or maybe that is the wisteria. Very floral, but not a heady floral. I don't smell the frankincense or sandalwood at all in this. It is sweet, it took about 10 minutes for the incense notes to surface, so very light and pretty. Still a little rosey too. I will definately use my imp.

With the description saying five musks I was thinking this would smell heavier or darker, so I was very surprised. THis smells like dragon's blood, musk, and something juicy, fruity. This isn't super heavy, but it is amazing. There is a sweetness to it, definately sexpot material. Naughty yummy.

Very dark, woodsy and spicy. There wasn't much of a change between wet and drydown which is fine for me. I love the resiny scents and this definately resiny. I'm so glad I got an imp of this because I now have to order a bottle. The patchouli is definately the stronger note, and the frankincense also come out on my skin. I'm going to guess that there is musk in this because I smell musk, spicy and woodsy and musky...my kind of scent

TAL has a concentration blend that really helps me focus and get things done, even when compleetely unmotivated. If you have access to TAL that might work. As far as essential oils go basil, cardamon, grapefruit and bergamot are commonly used to help concentrate. I would also use anything citrusy since that seems to wake me up and focus my attention.

I think this scent just skyrocketed to be one of my favorites. It is smokey, woodsy, juicy and is that some musk I smell. REminds me of camping and camp fires, being out in the woods, but there is something very ......yes.....underneath it. I am going to be hoarding this bottle because I am in love with this scent. It smells amazing on me and I want more!!!!!

Smells like nutmeg, allspice, and mulled wine with a touch of pumpkin on me. This is something I would reserve for the fall. This really reminds me of Halloween when I was a kid. I hope this is rereleased sometime because I think I now have to get my hands on a bottle.

This is so insanely beautiful!!!! Initially when I put it on there is a crispness to it, but not in a citrus scent, then there is a mild dirt scent similar to how the dirt in zombie smells on me, but it is very light and not strong at all. There is also a creaminess to it, I think there is a little vanilla in here but I'm not sure, maybe a light floral as well. This is a very difficult scent for me to describe but it is insanely beautiful!!! The scent isn't real strong and is pretty light, but it did last quite a while on me, couple of hours at least. Order many many bottles of this!!!

 

edit to say that the crispness does go away after about 10 minutes leaving the creamy dirt scent.

when I first put it on my skin I smell lots of white chocolate but after 10 minutes or so it fades down and has this very pleasant chocolatey/floral scent that is yummy. The chocolate isn't strong at all and is in the background of the scent. The whole scent is actually pretty light on me once it dries down. It also develops this really slightly powdery pretty scent. I can also smell the tea and this just keeps getting better the longer I wear it. It smells absolutely edible!!

this smelled exactly like rootbeer mixed with cedar on me, and it stayed that way on me for a very long time. Definately not for me today.
