  1. Lots of lavender. I agree with the previous poster that says it seems to be the one from TKO. The lavender quickly mellows, and I get a quick hit of lavender which is also fleeting in its duration. Then comes beautiful sweet amber with hints of lavender. I get the tea in the background. The tea provides the mystery to my nose. This is lovely


  2. Citrus, at first. Then comes a cool breeze of lavender to tone it down some. The citrus is lime I think. The lime keeps the lavender from taking over.

    Maybe it was the power of suggestion, but it does seem to calm me down when I'm feeling stressed. I think I will try it for a headache next


  3. This begins as a blast of evergreen. It begins to sweeten almost immediately though. I like this stage. Then it is the wood of the tree, but it smells really creamy almost as if there is tonka or vanilla in it. The smell of evergreen begins to reemerge though to make this well blended.


  4. I love violet, and violet loves me, but so does everything else in here . It's a little more out there than some of the violets. It is violet with enough mint to give it an air of being more than floral. A floral with a bite. Once dry it is violet with some help. The opoponax and orris. Glad I sprung for a bottle straight off


  5. Hmmm I decided to try this finally since I have gotten it as a frimp with my last 3 orders I think. Why tempt the prefume gods. This is vetiver in the extreme to start. In the middle too for that matter. Once it finally dries it smells excatly how I think it would tp be standing in the middle of a hurricane. There is a clear ozone and aquatic scent over the top of the vetiver now to kind of rein it in.

    Not my kind of scent but glad to say see I did it


  6. This is from one of the imps the lab had out @ C2E2. I'm a dope for not trying this before today. This goes on my list for a bottle when I order next. It begins as plum blossom and rose. Drying there peeks in a little incense. Dry there is an equal blending of rose, plum, and incense with just a hint of amber to stop it from becoming floral doom


  7. In the bottle it is all pineapple and what I assume is rye. It hits my skin Hello sherry I smell like a drunk for awhile. When it is finally completely dry it is a pineapple, lemon drink. Still a little sherry but wayyy tamer. May be better in my clocket to avoid the I smell like a raging drun part.


  8. It starts as burning wood (cedar or fir) It's a sweet wood, and that tar like smell. As it dries you get a hot pavement like smell.

    Dry it is not nearly as strong. The smoke is like a sweet wisp off in the distance. The dry smoke is lightly clove scented. There is also the scent of well baked pavement too.


  9. In the bottle this is lunar herbs, and soft white florals.

    On my skin the milk note appears. The florals are now more pronounced. They are very pale. The milk seems to settle in.

    Dry it has a very crystal like feel as well. Overall I like it. I want to see how it gets with age however.


  10. This is wayyy more spicy to my nose both in the bottle and wet on my skin. I think it must be both cassia and cinnamon, because it is that hot red kind. Dry however it is delightful. There is a subtle cocoa note, but not as chocolatey as the released blend. This also isn't as sweet. While the cinnamon and cassia calm down, the released blend is much cakier and sweeter to my nose.

    Don't get me wrong, I still love this.


  11. This starts with a blast of mead. I like mead. Then there is all kind of honey. This is like a thick raw honey. Under the mead there is a bevy of flowers. Honeysuckle and carnation being the most apparent to my nose. Drier it feels a little incensy. This will be a spring/summer staple for me now that I have a bottle
