In the bottle this is entirely fat juicy red apples - the smell you get when you bite into a really juicy apple and the juice sort of sprays everywhere. On my skin though the apple fades and is replaced by a more autumny smell like warm autumn air when you're out walking in the fields which I guess must be down to the wheat notes. It's a nice warm, dry scent.

In the bottle, this is pumpkiny with an undercurrent of slightly toasted popcorn with occassional flashes of something sharp, not sure what though.

Sadly... for me at least, it doesn't get any less pumpkiny or popcorny on my skin.

seraphim on me is... the sweet sweet smell of permanent marker.

combined with the kind of incense smell i remember from visiting buddhist temples when i was a tinier me than in my avatar. it reminds me of being very young and everything being far bigger than me. i like this scent.

Argh! Cherry marizpan almonds! And nothing else, over and over and over

I smell like christmas cake, but not in a good way.

Somehow, this turns into Cadbury's Fruit and Nut chocolate on me. Which is strange. Probably to do with the currants and date. It's an ok scent, but nothing I'm crazy about.

This smells sweet and lightly musky to me with hints of vanilla here and there. I really like this scent - it reminds me a bit of O.

I get nothing but a bitter incense scent from this with a touch of damp incense and maybe a waft of burnt incense. Sadly I'm not a fan of incense, so this will be going into the swap pile I think.

This is a very heavy and very sweet scent and fairly overpowering. There's a very floral note here and it's a bit too cloying for me I think.

This is a very light airy rose scent on me with a very sweet note. It's not bad, but it's a bit too rosey for me.

Mostly, I get a sandlewood incense kind of vibe from this scent, though after the oil has a chance to dry a bit more I get a gentle hint of roses. This is a really nice, soft warm scent, which is just right for a really cold day like today.

My first reaction to this was "Oh my, it's horribley fruity!". I am not a fan of fruit at all. After a while, a more floral note comes through - mostly roses. On the whole though, this smells a bit like some kind of fruity soap on me. To the swap pile I think.

This starts off very tobacco scented with a light hint of something floral. Then, sadly, it nosedives into a powdery soap tobacco scent which doesn't really agree with me. :/

This starts off very fruity and then matures into a very sweet, non-fruity scent with an almost sharp, green undertone. It's very pretty but not something I could wear too often.

At first this is a very sweet, golden, honey scent whilst wet. After drying a bit it turns into a more dry, incense scent with a slightly clinical touch - it reminds me a bit of the hosptial my mum used to work at, which is kind of strange I guess. Ultimately, it's a bit too incensey for me.

This is a gorgeous, round, glowing scent - all golden amber and honey. I love it! After a while a more vanillary scent emerges, but still very honeyish.

This seems to be a very watery fruit scent on me with generous helpings of floral notes. I don't really get any wood notes at all. :/

This starts off as a very cherry smelling scent, which I didn't like at all. After a while it then morphs into a more warm, dry amber scent with no cherry at all. I'm not too sure about this one on the whole, as the initial cherry note does put me off a bit.

I get a very fruity and spicy scent from this. Mostly berries in the fruit but there's something else too. Not a big fan of fruit notes I'm afraid though, so to the swap pile it goes.

Somehow every oil I try this week turns into a single note with tiny mini hints of other things waving at me from very far away. Hellfire is all tobacco on my skin, soft, not too dry, springy tobacco like the kind my dad is not supposed to be smoking. There's a tiny undercurrent of leather, but nothing else. To the swap pile I think.

This smells very much like honeydew melon on my skin and is a bit overpowering. I'm not getting any of the other notes at all, aside from perhaps a faint faint floral touch.

This is a lush, heavy floral on me with oodles and oodles of honeysuckle and... pretty much nothing else. All I get is honeysuckle, which isn't a bad thing but I don't think I could wear this too often.

I don't know what it is, but for some reason I don't really like this scent. There's a lot of notes that I do like, but somehow together they turn me off a bit. I get mostly an appley, buttery foody scent with a hint of alcoholic sweetness.

Initially this was all cherries but then changed to a more clovey and slightly incensey scent. It's not bad, but it's not that exciting.

This is very strong on me. Mostly I get what I can only guess is pumpkin - kind of smooth and buttery though, and almost a sour peach undertone. I think it's a bit too strong and a bit too pumpkiny.

I get mostly a clean lemony scent with a small hint of musk from this. It's a tad masculine, but not overpoweringly so, so I could still wear it happily though it would probably smell better on one of my housemates.
