  1. While wet it is very very bright, white florals.  Almost airy.  As it dries I am getting lots of jasmine and some honeysuckle.  The lavender is more in the background for me and not as noticeable.  It has calmed down, softened, and is still bright florals, but not as blindingly so.  I don't wear a lot of flowery florals, but this is nice.  It makes me think of taking a walk in nice weather when everything is blooming.  Not sure I will wear it very often though.


  2. Somehow I never tried this one before now.  In the imp- lots of vanilla, but not too sweet.  It's a dry vanilla.  The other notes make it interesting and not as sweet as well. 

    On my skin unfortunately, it changes like just about all the vanilla scents and turns to a plasticy, overpowering scent.  My husband says it smells powdery on me, but he thinks all perfume smells powdery.


  3. Dark! It gets very soft after just ten minutes. At first I wasn't so sure that I liked it, but now it is pretty interesting and pleasing. I really like the lab's patchouli. I don't really get any plum though. I was just going through my bottles deciding which ones I had to get rid of (I'm moving and need the space. I have too many unused oils.) This one was almost sent out, but now I have to keep it after one last try.

    Dead leaves and the dirty ground

    when I know you're not around.

    Shiny tops and soda pops

    Can't help thinking of this song for this scent. To me it is dead leaves, dirt, and old wood. It warms up later. Not sure I'd get much wear out of it.


  5. At first this was juicy wet. It was fruit. And yes, it was purple. After a bit the grapes took dominance. Then it was less juicy and more floral, but dark. Overall, I do like it, but I might layer it with some clove or something to take the grape down a bit.


  6. I love it!!! This goes on my new favorites list. The first time I wore it I got flowers, then sweet flowers, then soft honey. I wore it again today and the first whiff was orange peels and honey. Mmmmmmmmmmm Then it was floral and sweet and now honey. I love this so much. :P


  7. There is something in here that reminds me of a note in some of the more herbaceous voodoo oils. I can't place it though. The scent of this is herbal and a little sharp. Probably rosemary or lavender. It is dark green (the scent not the color of the oil).


  8. ROSE! Rose rose rose, rose rosey rose rose. Rose rose roses. Rose rose, "Rose rose?" Rose. Rose rose rosely roses. Rose.

     

    Ok a little later a bit of leather came out. But rose amps big time on my skin.


  9. I just realized that I never reviewed this one. It is very deep and dark and heavy. On my skin the notes I like the best (honey, clove, and sandalwood) get a bit lost. As it dries more it gets more sexy. The smoke and incense burn off a little and the other notes get to breathe a bit.


  10. It starts out waxy orange with a little spice. It is warm and floral as well. Then after a bit, the rose starts really taking over (this happens on my skin) and then after a little longer it starts going weird (I just know it is the vanilla doing this). Grrr stupid vanilla.


  11. I can't believe there's jasmine in this. Usually jasmine is terrible on me, but in this it's so great! It is cool and icy. I love it. In the imp it smells foody, but on my skin it's lemony and cold. I think I need a whole bottle.

     

    ETA: :'( It's a little later and now it's doing that thing that jasmine does on my skin. I really liked this one. grrrrr Maybe I'll try it with a carrier oil and see if that helps.
