Fir, woods, and a whiff of yellow flowers. This smells like a forest in an early spring day. When its still chilly and you need a windbreaker at least. But it smells like outside. Oh god, now I want to go on a hike. But it smells like you're in the middle of a forest, and its so peaceful and quiet, and beautiful, and reminds you to your connection to nature. Medium throw and wear length.

Ugh, this is almost too sophisticated to put on for just staying at home. Tea, a hint of ginger blossom, and a whiff of saffron. This would be a stunning date night hair gloss. It makes you want to dress up. Love it.

Pine, snow, green grass, and something that smells like green bell peppers... or is it alfafa on the drydown? It's a very green sort of smell. And I think its alfafa, not green peppers. My skin eats this one up though, and after 30 minutes, its gone.

Honey, jasmine, and dusty orris. This one is a slightly powdery honeyed jasmine blend. Its very gorgeous but my skin chemistry eat this up after 20 minutes. Medium throw when it is around.

Fruit trees, linden, a drop of honey and mimosa. This is a soft honeyed Spring floral. Its very soothing, and comforting. Medium throw and wear length.

Clove, honey, and roses. And a hint of tuberose. It's mainly a rose-clove and honey blend on me. Good throw and wear length.

This smells like wild flowers: I get daffodils, tulips, and peonies. Its very fresh. Good throw and wear length.

No additional scent description available.

17-year aged patchouli, ambrette seed, and ethically-harvested Philippine black oud.

Patchouli, oud, and a whiff of hay. Honestly, this is the type of oud that doesn't smell great on me. It's very funky. This is a very dark patchouli/oud blend. For which I am grateful, because I feel like falling in love with this type of blend (I mean 13 bottles available?) is like falling in love with a super hard to find unicorn. Great throw and wear length.

A dribble of hot beeswax and a puff of snuffed candle smoke.

Hot beeswax is right! This reminds me to Light of Men's Live but smokier. You can definitely smell the snuffed candle smoke, and its a smoky beeswax blend. Good throw and wear length.

A blood oath: pomegranate rind, orange blossom, frankincense, and lemon verbena.

So this is a very orange blossom heavy scent, combined with lemon verbena and a whiff of resins. It's very Mediterranean, gorgeous orange blossom/lemon verbena blend. It smells like the outside and gardens. Great throw and wear length.

Bright yuzu, cedar, and musk. This ends up as a citrusy musky pencil shavings on me. Good throw and wear length.

Gardenia, wood, and sandalwood. This is a very gardenia heavy blend on me. Good throw and wear length.

Ugh, this is a sexy green tea. Its sort of aquatic musky, but the star anise adds some spice, and you end up with a very gender neutral sexy green tea musk. Good throw and wear length.

Soft, furry wood and sandalwood. There's something cuddly about this. If you enjoy "fur" type scents, I'd give this a whirl. Medium throw and wear length.

Peony, lilac, red musk, and a whiff of fruits. This one is a floral red musk with a fruity edge. Sophisticated and vintage. Good throw and wear length.

Saffron, rosewood, and patchouli. This is spicy rose-woodsy blend. Medium throw and wear length.

Alice, is that you? I get a ton of carnation, amber, vanilla and a whiff of resin. Honestly, this smells like a grown up Alice from MTP. Alice, post Wonderland, and going off on sexual adventures. Good throw and wear length.

Sugar, hay, and a whiff of musk. This is a very sweet musky blend. Light, musky, and I can see it appealing to those that love sugar. Good throw and wear length.

Dry, musky patchouli, hints of sandalwood and sweet resins. This is mainly a musky patchouli, gender neutral, and it smells as if someone just finished having sex on the dirt floor. Medium throw and wear length.

Peach cream and honey. This is mainly a creamy, peachy, honeyed blend on me. Subtly sexy. Good throw and wear length.

Roses, cherry blossom, and a whiff of cognac. This is mainly a pink rose and tender cherry blossom scent on me. So yes, pink. Great throw and wear length.
