White rose, powdery iris and a touch of honeysuckle. This is actually a pretty elegant, pale blend, and I can totally see this being good for a wedding or another formal occasion, if you dig flowers.
-
Sweet honey rose and fig. It's actually kinda cloying on my skin.
-
This one is prettier than I expected. Tuberose, sage and touches of olive blossom. It's light, floral, and pretty distinctive.
-
Pepper, dirt and incense. There's something strong and almost 'leathery' in it. Soft, masculine, dark.
-
I just get lilac aftershave and a touch of dirt. It smells clean and dusty at the same time.
-
Dry, powdery sandalwood, vetiver and clove with a hint of beeswax, to sweeten it. Dark, powdery, masculine.
-
It smells like ginger, citrus and something else. Like a fizzy Lawn Gnome, or a better version of Polynesian Pop. Hmmm. I would seriously consider this one.
-
Poppy, davana and a touch of vetiver. It's sort of resiny and smokey with a touch of sharp sour florals. PASS.
-
WISTERIA + amber and sandalwood. In other words, WARM wisteria. Skin chemistry for the lose.
-
Spearmint on wet, white musk and ozone. It's clean and soapy on the drydown.
-
This one has a hint of cold air, the blue musk reminds me to Silence, with a hint of creamy iris. It's a little more floral than I expected. Cool, green, musky.
-
This smells like a cross of Mistletoe and Black Forest - dark pine and birch, surprisingly wearable. This is how Christmas trees should smell like.
-
ROSE linen. It smells very clean, and well like ubernice detergent.
-
Lots of peppermint and spearmint on wet. It kinda reminds me to toothpaste. It dries to soft vanilla mint. At this point it kinda reminds me to Snowblind.
-
The Ski Lady, jötunn goddess of winter, bowhunting, mountains, and skiing. The scent of winter wind blowing over snow-capped mountains. This one definitely reminded me to Skadi. It's got that pine/eucalyptus thing going on (Skadi was close to ALL PINE ALL THE TIME on me), but softer. Slushy berries, and a hint of perfume.
-
Honeysuckle, pine, and musk. On wet, it smells kinda soapy. As it dries, I can identify some of its components, although the soapy quality still lingers. I wonder if its the orange blossom that turns soapy on me?
-
Grapefruit and vanilla snow. And then it dries to a more lemon/yuzu citrus and I get a spice note thrown in as well. Ermmm... Pass.
-
Same snow note as in Ice Queen, minus the pine and perhaps a tinge more floral. I love Ice Queen, and its' one of my favorite BPALs and this is like a softer, more floral little sister. Definitely like this one. ALOT.
-
WISTERIA + honey. My skin amps up wisteria like a demon, and this is no exception. PASS.
-
Jasmine, honeysuckle and musk. The jasmine keeps stabbing my nose. It's sort of airy, ethereal and perfumey.
-
Afternoon sunshine. I get pomegranate with hints of citrus, saffron, and a bit of amber and tonka. It's like squeezed juice over amber. Tasty, sunny, golden.
-
Fruity, fizzy, effervescent sweet scent. Its got tinges of citrus, rose, and touches of sandalwood. Reminds me to Spinning Multicolor Metallic Pinwheel and Harlequin. The joy of the dawn.
-
Definitely a "plummy" note with a hint of rum. Like a darker, boozier Sugar Plum Fairy. Fun, festive, playful.
-
Figs, rum and cinnamon. This one would be my perfect fig scent if it stuck around longer. Sadly, my skin chemistry EATS this.

Sweet black cherry, vanilla and a hint of booze. It's very soft, sweet and girly.
