Tangerine, red musk, ti leaf, vanilla orchid, and white honey. Secrets of the Hanamachi smells like citrusy musk, a touch of honey, and orchids. It's a contrast of pleasant florals with a very sexy background. Definitely asian in vibe.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts. – John Steinbeck A talisman against fear: Roman chamomile, frankincense, ylang ylang, vetiver, and Italian bergamot. Citrusy chamomile, ylang ylang and a base of frankincense. This is a chamomile-ylang ylang blend, and despite being floral, is more of a gender neutral blend. It's soft, approachable, and comforting. Medium throw, good wear length.

[No additional description provided.] I get mainly tinsel and amber. Honestly, it was slightly masculine on wet, and then the amber comes peeping through.

Lumps of pumpkin fudge, marshmallow glop, cookie crumbs, caramel smears, and bits of sticky fuzz. Brown sugar, cookies, pumpkin an and a whiff of candy. This smells like sugary pumpkin cookies. I sort of want to eat my hair.

Sage, juniper, and cypress. This smells sunny, and like the outside. Medium throw and wear length.

Plum, oudh, and osmanthus. So this end up a plummy perfumey white type of floral. Great throw and wear length.

Spices, with a brush of creamy fig and date. This smells like it has turmeric and ginger in it, and maybe all spice. It's a savory fruity sort of blend. It's very comforting, and dare I say it, healing? Medium throw and wear length.

Sparkling sugary apple cider with a whiff of grapefruit. Sweet, candy, fizzy. Medium throw and wear length.

Palo santo, grass, and a whiff of sandalwood. There's an almost effervescent quality to the grassy-woodsy sandalwood. Medium throw and wear length.

Popcorn, pumpkin pie and a whiff of cream. This is mainly a pumpkin popcorn blend. Delicious. If you love, Mouse Circus, this is like the pumpkin version of that. Good throw and wear length.

Red currant, oudh, and patchouli. This is a fruitier, kinder version of Nasty Woman. That said, I am amping out the oudh and it definitely drowning out the patchouli base making it way more floral than I anticipated. Good throw and wear length.

Sugary honey patchouli. This is definitely a honeyed patchouli, and it sort of reminds me to Badgers but a little lighter and less floral. There's an almost brown leather quality to the patchouli on this. Good throw and wear length.

Coconut, lavender, and a whiff of citrus. The coconut comes on strongly on wet, and then recedes and I get more of a citrusy lavender. Very comfy. It's like lavender went to the beach and slathered on some suntan lotion. Medium throw and wear length.

Chocolate toasted cereal, marshmallows and milk. Okay, so this is like a slightly more chocolate version of the cereal milk that Momofuku does. So yeah, cereal milk. Medium throw and wear length.

Lilies, lychee and magnolia. This one is a gentle, floral unisex blend. Medium throw and wear length.

Leather, tobacco, and red musk. This smells like red musky leather with tobacco. Good throw and wear length.

Dark pine, juniper, sage and dirt. This smells like dark Christmas forest. You know, a dark pine forest, snow on the ground and wind howling. It's not safe to be out. Good throw and wear length.

Lavender, bay, cedar and leather. This one is again a sort of unisex blend, and the leather is present but not overwhelming. I tend to love bay blends so this is no exception. Good throw and wear length.

Ginger ale and sugary caramel. I get the fizz and it really sort of codes to ginger ale to me, and a whiff of caramel. Medium throw and wear length.

I get a ton of ozone, sea spray, and a touch of violet. It smells fresh, clean, and summer. Youthful, and sort of electric. Medium throw and wear length.

Sugary Fruity Pebbles is really what I get. Pink, sugary, marshmallow peeps with notes of fruitiness. Medium throw and wear length.

Sweet juicy sugared apples with a whiff of milk. It's sugary, creamy, apples. Medium throw, average wear length.

Loads of buttercream frosting and a red velvet cake. If you want to smell like red velvet cake, get this. Good throw and wear length.

I get a ton of dandelion and white musk. This ends up being a breezy, clean white musk blend. Medium throw and wear length.

Lotus and Snake Oil. For me, the bubblegum note from the lotus is the single most dominant player. As it dries, some of the sugared vanilla comes through but it ends up being almost overwhelmingly bubblegum on me. Great throw and wear length. Of course.
