This is a very incensey scent on me, a lot like Penitence but warmer and rounder. It is indeed a golden smelling scent, but I think that it's a bit too resiny for me.

This is a very fruity on me, but a bit like tropical fruit flavoured cordial. Saying that though, I don't really get the smell of banana at all and I do love bananas. It is very wet though, but sadly a but too much like I've dumped tropical cordial over my wrists.

I was trying to think of what this reminded me of, but after reading the description of Milk Moon, it suddenly hit me. I smell like Werther's Originals - all buttery, creamy and candy scented. Mmm. I'm craving sweets now

This is a very nighttime scent and a bit like damp flowers on a warm night. It's a very soft floral with maybe a bit of herbiness.

This is a very incensey, slightly sharp scent. A very woody incense though, like old churches rather than the way incense smells in a new church.

Not for me though, into the swap pile.

This starts of very honeyish and then develops into a more spicy sweet. The honey scent sticks around for quite a while though. I really love this scent, mostly because of the strenght of the honey on me.

This smells very much like the Honey B ballistic from lush - very sweet and warm, it also smells a lot like the honey chocolate I've been nibbling on lately. I love it!

In the bottle, it smells thick and chocolatey - as if you could make actual velvet from ferreo rocher.

On my skin, the sandlewood and myrrh really stand out and it stops being so wonderfully chocolatey.

Though saying that, it's a really nice sort of incensey smell.

I found this a very warm, golden scent, a bit like drinking very sweet tea with freshly baked scones - that kind of golden warmth. After about half an hour, the amber note starts to really come though. This is a scent for cold wet days.

This starts off like sherbet lemons, which are one of my favourite sweets, so no complaints there! Then I can smell the sandlewood getting stronger and a more incensey scent develops. I really like this one, it's a bit lemony, a bit smokey and has just the right amount of incense-ness.

Heh.

This is very dark, bitter and smoky. It's quite a woody smell, but like the old wood you get on ancient church pews. I don't really like this one at all.

At first sniff, I find Greed fairly dry and sharp, like how grass feels when it's had too much sun and in a weird way reminds me of the smell of the piggy bank I had when I was little.

After a while it develops into a more incensey smell, but alas I think this one is not for me.

This starts off as a slightly bitter, very dry and woody scent. It's definitely a bit peppery, though I'm not really getting any of the floral elements or the mandarin. After a while the musk starts to come to the fore and dampens the dryness a bit.

Fairly nice, but not really a favourite scent I think.

In the bottle and wet, Cathedral is almost unpleasantly sharp and bitter. After a while it settles down into a very incensey scent, much like the Anglican shrine at Walsingham. This smells like the inside of the dark, candle-lit recreation of the house inside the church and like the wood of the area around the high altar.

On me Nefertiti is a cool floral scent, like walking through a marble temple at night, while it's tipping it down with rain outside. It does remind me a bit of Cairo, but without the cloying sweetness - this is far more airy.

In the bottle and immediately after being on my skin, it smells just like Turkish Delight. Not a good smell for me, as I now only tentatively might nibble on turkish delight after years and years of hating it.

After a few hours, it becomes less sickly sweet and a bit more incensey and spicy, which is much better.

edited for embarassing typo

Very sweet and floral, but warm at the same time. I can't identify any more than that really, but I do like it.

In the bottle, this smells cool, clean and a bit citrussy.

On my skin... immediately I'm thinking this smells a lot like the aftershaves my dad favours, only not as overpowering. A bit of a "Ack! get it off, get it off" reaction for me really.

Later, it mellows out a bit and becomes warmer and spicier.

I think I'm going to have to try this one again, and if I'm still not too keen on it, it'll probably go to a friend who I know will like it.
