Wow. This is much prettier and softer than I expected. At first it was very fresh and green. Then bizarrely it goes to flowers and reminds me of the trumpet plant in my backyard. Then when it is completely dry it goes a tiny bit musky with the green. It fades quite a bit on my skin. I wish it was a little stronger after it dries. And I wish my skin let the musk out a little more. I do really like it though.

mmm I really like this one. I got it in a bottle trade. It starts out being cool and a little airy. There is some pine showing up. Then it goes warm and woody. mmmmmmmmm

This one starts out heavy on the frankincense. It's heavy and dark brown. And dry. This stays mostly frankincense for me. It's good.

This starts out as dusty flowers, then changes to soft flowers. After a while it gets pretty sweet on my skin. Then it goes a little weird and pretty strong.

This one starts out dark, dirty, and dusty. There's a little bit of dusty floral in there. After a bit the myrrh starts smelling really good. That is one note that my skin does like. Overall, it gets pretty warm, resinous, amber colored, and slightly slightly floral.

Wow chocolate. Sugary sweet chocolate. Not for you dark chocolate people out there. Definitely the sweeter milk chocolate. It doesn't change too much on my skin like a lot of the sweet/creamy ones do. It does get slightly fake smelling after a bit on my skin. There's probably a similar ingredient in here as the creamy ones. Oh well.

Sharp and masculine. It's herbal and pointy. As it dries it calms down a bit. It goes a bit like clove on me as well. Overall it stays pretty sharp and herbal.

The scent is very light. It reminds me of lotion with a bit of floral in it. It is very comforting. It goes a little soapy and overall as far as the scent is concerned I liked it better in the imp than on my skin. Overall it is gentle. This came at a very good time for me. I'll have to see how this works out.

It starts out smelling like a storm. It's wet, salty and airy. On my skin it gets a little bit soapy after a while. This seems pretty gender neutral. I liked it better in the imp than on my skin.

At first it smells a lot like lemon. Then the ginger comes in. Overall it is very light and crispy. I really like it. It's zesty. The roommate boy likes it.

ETA: It disappeared really really fast.

At first this is very green and a little bit citrus tart. It is light and soft and wet and a little bit fruity. It is crispy at first then it goes soft. I will most likely buy this.

ETA: The roommate boy smelled it and said it smelled old lady. Then I informed him that it was in fact a very good one and smelled kind of fruity and that he should re-evaluate. He then said, "yeah ok. It was just stronger than the other one (kumiho). It's actually ok.

My first impression is loads of dragon's blood with something heavy and dry. I never got any clear clove note. Dragon's blood doesn't usually do well on me. This is no exception. I liked it better in the imp than on my skin. It does fit it's name though.

ETA: After a while it goes very incensey.

I never would have guessed the notes in this. It sort of smelled like stale air to me. On my skin it went stale floral and didn't do very much otherwise. Not a winner for me. Oh well.

It actually got much worse on me as time passed. Roommate boy recoiled and then said that it smelled like "bad, cheap soap."

At first i get myrrh, which I love. Then it goes to herbs, which I don't like all that much. It starts out warm, brown, and resinous, then it goes to a weird greenish brown. I wish it stayed more like it was in the imp. grrrrrrr.

It's a very wet, greenish blue scent. It's sweet, floral and a little bit soapy. The soap kind of takes over though. oh well.

This is really earthy. Earthy and woody. It's dry. There's a light spice in there as well. This would probably smell nice on a guy, though it's not all that masculine.

Dry wood and dusty musk. It is warm. I don't get much floral from this. It's a little masculine.

This is very, very light and airy. I get chamomile and salt water. It is a little powdery and dry.

This one starts out so pretty and girly. It's light and floral and sunny. Amber tends to go a little bit dusty on me, but otherwise it's really nice.

My frind Kat says it smells "old fashioned romanticy kind of smell. A little woodsy. Like lace and roses. Maybe some vanilla? It's definitely girly. I like it a lot actually."

mmm Wet, this is warm, dragon's blood and sweet amber. On my skin it goes a little bit weird though. Also, I think dragon's blood, even though I like it, makes my nose itch. Oh well

mmmmmm It's dark and sharp and blunt and woody and earthy and cold all at the same time. It is the way an ancient scary enchanted fairy tale forest smells. I bet that it would smell really good on a guy.

It's sweet, but not too sweet. It is kind of dry fruity. Not too citrus. Mellow. Good.

Sweet, sweet, sugary fruit. It is a little much. Very tropical and not very "adult." Later it goes more musky. I probably wouldn't wear it.

woo In your face, pine and eucalyptus. This will wake you up and clear your sinuses. After a bit it settles down. It is making my mouth water a bit in a weird reaction. Odd. I didn't get the citrus until the pine and eucalyptus stepped off a bit. I doubt it would get much use from me.

This one is super, super light on me. Very faint fruity gumdrops at first. Then it goes a little salty and then it disappears.
