i normally don't like sweet-fruity scents with things like mango. i do like citrus though, and i kind of like this one, against my better judgment. it's crisp and sharp and i mostly smell the orange, mango and white musk. once it's dry it's just a soft white musk with a hint of orange. pretty, but kind of strange for some reason.

i received this as an extra from someone in a swap. all i'm smelling is strawberry, with something underneath that i can't quite place. this just smells like strawberry shortcake doll on me. very little girlish. and i am not into fruity scents, so yeah this one isn't me.

i got this as a frimp from someone, and i figured it'd be too sweet, and it is, but it's got a slight earthiness, and i like it better than i thought i would (not a big fan of fruity scents.) it's very sweet and smells very youthful to me. personally it's too a bit too sweet, but lovers of fruity-florals will dig this

i guess the floral i'm smelling is peonies (or similar) after reading the other reviews. there's an herbal/grassy scent too. now that it's dry it is a faint, sweet floral with a very very slight powderiness to it. pretty, but maybe a little too sweet for my tastes.

at first this smells like a dry minty smell, once it fades it turns into a sweet floral, not sure what flowers these are, as picking out notes isn't always my strong point. however, i don't get any of the cinnamon that it seems some people have gotten. in the dry stage it's a very sweet floral and perfumey.

hm at first this smells very wet to me, and boozy but not in a rum-like way. i can't quite place it. i definitely smell the dandelion as well, and now that it's dry i think i am mostly smelling the dandelion and tobacco, and the booze has evaporated. it's very dry and weedy, and now i sort of like it in a way, but i don' think it's a scent i'd wear often.

hm. at first i didn't like this at all, i got a strong powdery scent from it. possibly the opium, as i often dont like scents with opium. now that it's dry it reminds me a LOT of gypsy queen or love in the asylum when faded. since i like both of those scents in the wet stage, i think i'll just stick with my bottles of those.

i dunno why i even tried this one, honey usually doesn't work on me and sandalwood gives me a headache if it's too strong, but sometimes when those notes are blended with a bunch of other notes, they work out. not with this one however. i think i am mostly detecting the tuberose, vanilla bean and sandalwood, and it's giving me a headache :/

this scent doesn't really do it for me...something in it is very sweet, perhaps the juniper or lily, and it turns strongly perfumey and cloying on my skin. that being said, it is a cold funereal scent, even a little bit creepy, and i love that it evokes that feeling.

this a sweet floral with a touch of spice on my skin. very summery...also something about it is very familiar, as in it smells just like another bpal on me, but i can't place it. it is a bit too perfumey for my tastes though.

wayyyy too ozoney for me, but i thought i'd give this a try anyway since it sounded so intriguing. it's very perfumey on me and smells very plantlike as well as the ozone. something in it goes a bit sour on my skin too.

the incense comes out a lot in this, and overwhelms a bit. i also can detect the leather and florals, maybe the orange blossom. i can wear some incensy scents, but generally the more 'churchlike' incenses dont work on me. this one is ok on me, but far too masculine for my tastes. i think i would love it if it didn't contain the incense note.

i love all the notes in this (except for maybe some white florals), so i was very excited to try it. it's beautiful-light, warm and a little sexy. i think i'm getting mostly the white musk, florals and neroli. lovely! i just wish it had a little more throw.

damn. the only note i was iffy about in this is the rum, and i was right in my assumption. the rum gives it a buttery smell, making it much too foody for my personal tastes. if i was into creamy buttery foody scents, i'd love this though. i do like the smell of it, but it's just not me.

i love all the notes in this, but for some reason the combination did not work on me. it had a very sharp strongness to it that was sort of a nostril-burning experience. i could tell that it would smell nice if it was mellower, but it was taking its time mellowing out. i think perhaps it was the roses + red musk that were amplified on my skin. i'm disappointed (and a bit surprised) i thought this'd be perfect for me.

empyreal mist smells EXACTLY like prescriptives calyx to me.

i have no idea what notes are in this, but it smells like a pretty sweet fruity-floral. it's very sweet. it smelled so familiar at first, like a perfume i wore in high school, then i finally placed it- it smells exactly like prescriptives calyx on me. i've never smelled another bpal that smelled exactly like another perfume, but this one sure does. my high school self would've loved this, but now i find it a bit too sweet for my personal tastes.

this is a scent that contains rum that is actually pretty nice on me. it smells oceany but not ozone/aquatic. i get a salty feel and a slight rum scent...the leather balances it out nicely. i like to wear some more traditionally masculine scents, and this one is a nice scent, but it's just not 'me'. intriguing though!

this reminds me of embalming fluid with jasmine added, which is what it essentially is (i think?) as usual, my skin amplifies the jasmine, and i am not a big jasmine fan. i mostly smell the verbena + jasmine and the other notes are in the background. it does remind me of a softer lush flying fox as someone else said. i think i'll swap this one, it's just not very 'me'.

when i first put this on, it reminded me of minty root beer. now that it's faded it just smells like straight root beer candy. it's kind of nice...i don't know how much i would wear this, but it's a really interesting scent!

ooooh this smells like mostly amber and red musk on me and maybe carnation? or at least something spicy, not sure what. everyone seems to be comparing it to snake oil...but i like this a lot better on me than i did snake oil. it's been so long since i tried it, but snake oil turned powdery on me. this is warm and sweet and lovely and i want a bottle right now!

i basically tried this just because i'm an aries. i cannot pick out any of the notes in this at all. i can smell a slight spiciness and something sweet, some sort of floral, maybe orchid (it reminds me of shadow witch orchid a bit). it does smell very red though, as others have said. it's the slightest bit perfumey too, and is more pleasant than i thought it would be.

i agree with the snake charmer recommendation. i'm not a big fan of snake oil on me, but snake charmer smells excellent.

bengal, london and tenochtitlan are my favorite wanderlust scents. also liked, but not as much- dublin, amsterdam, silk road.

this smells like a fruity woody wine scent on me. also it's so strong that i get a headache. i like wine scents, but fruit and wood is hit or miss and this one is definitely a miss.
