This reminds me of those perfume samples that come in Macy's catalog. It's the perfume counter of the department store as you walk by. Maybe a DKNY scent? J. Lo Glow? Something from my childhood that takes me back to the early bird hours with my mother.

My first thought was "this smells expensive", another green element I suppose. It reminds me of a Macy department store perfume section. But it isn't painfully strong and I really adore it. It's sophisticated and clean, not what I expected from the name at all. Lovely scent!

As I was born and raised in NYC, I wanted to love Manhattan. But all I got was the teakwood and leather, no fruity smell at all. It smelled like an older woman. I had to wash it off after half an hour.

Floral, without the overpowering feeling that this should go on a more mature wrist. I don't have any grapefruit which is disappointing but not a hideous scent at all.

I'm really surprised I like this one. It's salty, and I don't know what it is so it must be aquatic? Clean, and not at all like seaweed, which is delicious. It's comforting. Smell a sea scented candle and I guess this would be it.

Delightful! I was afraid of this because Tweedledum turned into patchouli and I really wanted the mango I smelt in the imp. This one stuck to the fruity scent in the imp. Like Lolita without the seduction. More playful.

I am so disappointed. It smells like baby spit up on me. Must be the milk. I'll try it when it's cold as my skin changes in winter.

Apparently ozone to my nose is static. Like at night, under a fleece blanket, you running your hands along it and making sparks in the darkness. Gives me a slight headache.

Earthy. Incenses. Biting. Hot.

Stabby toothpaste. Spicy. Sour apple. Not for me.

watermelon lip gloss. Didn't wait for the drydown.

Imp: sweetness. Uplifting. Skin: cookie. I want a cookie.

Excuse me, but: it smelled like a restroom with a coffee spill. Personal experience, trust.

Too sweet, vanilla, potpourri. Too happy for me I guess.

Uh, it smelled liked strong booze to me. Gifted.

Very strong, apply lightly. Pomegranate settles, but still very present.

All rose, no frankincense. Unless I'm just not recognizing it. I'm layering it with Swank for a Persephone - ish scent.

Pretty soap. Powdery, tart, crisp. Warm. Sandalwood makes me smell warmth.

Sharp. Older. Sandalwood. Very warm. Disappointed. I wanted peach.

Light. Ghostly. Roses, faint. Clean... but smells elderly too. (Gosh, was that offensive?)

Sweet candy, fruit. Light, tropical. Fun. LIKE settles into vanilla.

BUT: it changed. I don't know if because I tried it the first couple of times before a certain age, but now, it's all patchouli. :'(

Lemon ice-wet. Cleaner solution. Why didn't the green tea save this?!

Citrus, golden. Clean. Sophisticated. Sweet. Dries musk. Old. Dries Vanilla sweet.

Sharp florals. Powdery. Fancy soap. Light but only during certain weeks. I don't know why.

I like it, slightly fruity, rosewater. But my SO says it smells like his old aunt. Hm, guess I'll wear it when he's not around.
