  1. This one changes on me. It starts out as a sweet, fruity floral. Very fresh. Then there is an undertone of something a little biting. It is either coming from the jasmine or the vanilla reacting with my skin. Overall, I still like it. It is a sunny fruity floral. I love the apricot note in this.


  2. XLVIII -

     

    I'm really glad I got to try this. It started out smelling a lot like vanilla. It is a very light scent. Now it has faded a bit to be more floral, but I still get hints of the vanilla. Not bad at all. ETA: dang it. The vanilla is going a bit off on my skin. I'll have to try it with a carrier oil.

  3. grrrrr The milk has done it again. I didn't really expect anything different though. I'll have to try this again over some carrier oil. Anyway, it starts out really tasty. Sweet and almondy. Then in a couple minutes it goes all weird and plastic on my skin. This happens with most scents that have milk or cream listed as a note. I'll edit this after I try it with a carrier.


  4. Hmm. At first this is really sweet and yes, pink. But then once it started to dry a weird celery note came out. I've had this before with certain bpal oils. I'll have to check if they have similar notes to them. It is so weird that my skin is doing this. Maybe it is the phlox. I don't know. :P


  5. This one changed a lot on me. It started out like a sweet, fruity, floral. Then it went through a weird icky stage. Now that it's all dried out it is quite nice. It is a very cool, bright floral.


  6. This one starts out mostly orange blossom. As it dries it gets more dusty and dark. There is a little bit of the floral narcissus that comes through. But overall it is orange blossom. After it dries completely the vanilla does something weird on my skin. It starts to get a little sour. Before that it is a really nice scent though.


  7. The first time I sniffed this was at one of the full moons at the shop. I only sniffed the bottle, but it was such a velvety, deep rose, that I knew I'd have to order it. The bottle I just got doesn't seem as deep as the one I sniffed in the store. I'm thinking that I need to age this a bit. Overall, yup roses. Deep, heavy, grown up, red roses.


  8. In the bottle this one is very much bitter almond/ cherry. On my skin it started out very sharp. Then a floral note came out. I'm guessing it's the jasmine. There is also a hint of what I'm guessing is honeysuckle. I'm not sure how much I'll wear this one.


  9. This isn't the type of scent I usually gravitate towards, but I really like it. It is light and green. It is very fresh smelling. I can pick out the tea, but I'm not familiar with oude. I've worn this one a couple times already and I like it for a nice, light, green scent with something more, something a teeny bit deeper. This is one of my favorites of the moons that I've tried.


  10. This starts out smelling like dirt. Then it goes to dry dirt. It is very dry dirt for a long time, then it gets more cedar. Then after a while it gets really tasty. It's balsam and vanilla. I eventually like it, but not enough to make space for it.
