A pop of fruit punch bubblegum.

Beeswax and jasmine on an amber base. I mainly get beeswax and jasmine. Great throw and wear length.

Oddly enough, this is also giving me heavy Blue Moon vibes. I get honeysuckle, jonquil, moonflower and whiff of blue musk. It's very white floral, very dream, very lunar. Good throw and wear length.

Smells like melted sweet chocolate. Yup, basically chocolate. Maybe there's a slight bitter edge to it? Either way, smells like chocolate. Medium throw and wear length.

Sweet, slightly spice black coffee, that mellows to a slight coffee/cream scent. Medium throw and wear length.

No scent description.

Cardamom, patchouli, and honey musk. On wet, you get a fresh gingery bite, but that fades away and you start getting the cardamom, patchouli, and the honeyed musk. Subtly sexy. Medium throw and wear length. Honestly, why aren't more people into this? The honey musk is fantastic.

Rose cream, opium, pink pepper, and clove and whiffs of orchid on the drydown. This is a dark, slinky rose-orchid blend. It smells nostalgic and dark at the same time. Like an old-timey perfume used by a vampire. Good throw and wear length.

Clowny purples and greens and smeared bits of red: plum and blackcurrant with sugared mint, red currant, and vanilla bean.

White sandalwood incense smoke drifting through snowflakes.

A sunrise shimmering like abalone, struck through with beams of red musk and amber.

This smells like a chocolate muffin. I'm not really getting fruitcake. I'm getting basically moist sweet chocolate cake batter. Not as sweet, but definitely chocolate. Good throw and wear length.

Dates, oranges, spices and almond cookie. This smells like a great cookie. Very holiday oriented. Good throw and wear length.

Spiced leather. I get basically clove, tobacco, and gingerbread spices on black leather. It's basically black leather does holiday potpourri. Good throw and wear length.

Vanilla peppermint. Sadly, it has a blast on wet, but my skin EATS peppermint and it never lasts. Low throw and wear length.

Chilly peppermint devolves into fluffy marshmallow. I pretty much only get marshmallow on the drydown. To me, this is marshmallow SN at the moment. Medium throw and wear length.

Lavender and white chocolate fade into a very realistic madeline batter. After about an hour, it really smells strongly of madelines. And then it dries to a very faint madeline with lavender. Medium throw and wear length. Smells like a delicious cookie.

Resinous black tea. Great throw on wet, and then it dries to a darker vetiver and tonka scent and its a skin scent at the moment. Low throw, low wear length.

No additional scent description.

Cool eucalyptus and a whiff of evergreen. It dries down to a faint birch soda and evergreen note. Good throw on wet, and then very low throw. Low wear length.

Spicy carnation with a whiff of tobacco. This reminds me to Hod. If you miss Hod, give this a whirl. It's not exactly the same, but given that Hod has been discontinued for a really long time, I mean. Good throw and wear length.

Bright grapefruit fizz, blackcurrant, and a whiff of patchouli. It dries down to a black currant and patchouli blend, but the grapefruit note definitely gives it both a brightness and fizz. Medium throw and wear length.
