I love Beaver Moon scents! in the bottle: light peach and strawberry wet on skin: now some of the cake is coming out but it's not cheesecakey to me, not like the other beaver moons. This is just sugary cake, strawberry, and peach. drydown: when it dries down they all blend together creating a soft sweet foodie peach and strawberry cake scent. It had good throw too. I got compliments when I wore this one. Not sure why but over time I sold/swapped this one...maybe the staying power went away or I really needed some money. Maybe I'll get it back one day. But i do love all the other Beaver Moon scents more so maybe that was just it.

This is a wonderful strawberry scent. I am drawn to strawberry over a lot of other fruits but not sure why. It starts out as a very wild/fresh strawberry scent. Like someone just picked strawberries out of the back yard and has them all in a bowl. I can smell leaves and a tiny bit of dirt but it's nice. This is not an artificial strawberry (which I don't mind either). It's not foodie really either, but the other notes do add comfort to this scent and make it creamy and pretty. The staying power is kinda low though and the throw isn't strong either but it is very lovely.

In the bottle: strawberry and florals On the skin: strawberry fades fast sadly that note was wonderful. And more of the floral notes came out, can't tell them apart but its definitely very floral heavy and the white chocolate is in the background keeping it a little sweet. I do not smell any bourbon vanilla which I wish was stronger. Sadly no honey or pink sugar either. Drydown: Now it's getting powdery! Uh oh. Still sweet and rather pretty but it's all floral and powder now. Darn. I wish the foodie notes came out stronger but sadly the floral ones did so it's not a total win for me. But I do like it and I'm sure on others it's wonderful. Good throw and staying power.

This scent was mostly raisins and currants with lots of spice and what I think is the sherry. I say I think because it's a boozy note that is new to me and sadly I don't really like it. It has that "grandma scent" kind of thing behind it too which is really weird and not sure why. This would be much better if it had a TON of pudding to balance out all these other notes. But I do not smell any pudding sadly. It's mainly fruits and icky booze. Luckily it has low throw and short staying power so it wasn't around long.

Has a cute little horse on the label. In the bottle: hay and a little bit of tart apple On the skin: I still get strong HAY but also some apples and oatmeal. I do not like this hay note though. It's really strong and there's something about it that makes me ill. Kinda reminds me of bird seed maybe. I don't know but it's weird. The apple scent is good but it's battling the hay. Drydown: On the drydown the hay gets a little lighter and some of the oatmeal scent comes out which is nice. I wish that was the prominent note not that hay. I don't get molasses but wish I did. This was kinda sad because the reviews make it sound so much better then it was on me. It did have good throw and staying power but it was mostly hay

This reminded me of a salted caramel mocha but with SOOOO much salt! It was very very salty. The chocolate was there but it was light surprisingly. This was delicious on me but not really something I liked wearing. It did have great throw and great staying power! Salty treat!

This scent was very exciting for me when I ordered it but when I got it the only notes that really came out were the chocolate...which was very milky and the mushroom but it wasn't mushroom it was more like light dirt or maybe dust. It just took a little sweetness away from the chocolate. I didn't really smell the other notes. The label was cool though it had a real looking heart on it. It had low throw and short staying power.

This scent is just simply RUM! It's a sweet slightly coconutty rum. Would be a delicious drink and it works as a perfume because of the sweetness. I don't think it's too boozy. It's just light and tasty. Perfect pirate's rum! Low throw and staying power.

Bliss is the perfect chocolate scent. It's not too fudgey or to sugary. It's just right. It's a perfect brownie chocolate I guess. When I first put it on it has throw but after about a half hour it fades away and so does the throw. Most chocolate scents fade very fast on me and this is no exception. But it is pure bliss while it lasts...

Egg Nog 2011 - Egg Nog is one of my most favorite drinks! So I bought this bottle the year it came out. This is perfect Eggnog! I can smell the egg, the nutmeg, vanila, cinnamon and all the other christmassy goodness! BUT it fades SO fast and has barely any throw. So I sadly let this bottle go. Egg Nog 2013 - So as stated before I love Egg Nog so I went for this again in 2013 because I hoped it would last longer this time. BUT sadly I had the exact same outcome! It's a perfect Eggnog scent and smells like the real thing but absolutely no staying power! I really wish it did because if so it would be a top five even holy grail scent for me, but low throw and no staying power breaks my heart. I bet I'll keep trying this scent though maybe one day it'll stick around. Egg Nog 2014 - This one was gifted to me and its just as delicious as the others. Very similar to 2013 and the staying power was slightly improved.

This scent was a learning experience for me. I tried it after Blood Amber (not good) and Dragon's Milk (love) hoping I'd love it but...nope. The musks were too much I guess and overpowered everything. The fruit wasn't even that strong and I love the scent of currants so that was disapointing. It didn't have much throw or staying power either. A lot of the GC scents seem to be that way on me. And what I learned was so far only Dragon's Milk was the dragon's blood resin scent for me.

This was the first HG I ever tried! I got a decant from a fellow forum member. It was so lovely and very strong (which I greatly appreciate). I mainly got the vanilla and coconut and this was the good strong coconut I love. Didn't get much of the tiare but that was ok. It did work well in my hair too. My hair was longer when I had this so I put it on my ends only. Never repurchased it but it was the gateway to other hair glosses!

Not sure what year my bottle was from, got it off the forum, but it had the original lace looking label. This scent did not work for me at all! After falling in love with Dragon's Milk I wanted to try another dragon's blood type scent. But this one was just a powdery, dusty, icky mess. It did nothing for me and barely showed up on my skin. I don't know if it was the age of the bottle or what but it was nothing. Just light musky, powdery amber. No throw and obviously didn't stick around longer then 15 minutes. Too bad.

2008 This scent on me is all brown sugar and cinnamon with some fruit too. Darker fruits that mingle well with the spices. It does have that burnt sugar note too. Or maybe that is the molasses and brown sugar playing together. It's like a devious foodie scent. Very sugary but also dark and spicy. Had light throw but did last a while close to my skin.

In the bottle: tart apple On my skin: tart apple is number one, it also has a little bit of a burnt note to it. Waiting to smell the candy corn but not yet... Drydown: I get the sugar note now and the tart apple is still there. The candy corn never made a definite appearance and the tart apple is a bit too much for me. I was expecting more from this one...more candy corn that is lol

In the bottle: light boysenberry scent On my skin: I get a lot of the boysenberry first but slowly the pancake starts to emerge. It's pretty good. The pancake scent is very light though. I hoped for strong ooey gooey buttery pancakes and this is not that it's just a light bakery type note. Drydown: on the drydown it all got softer and it's mainly the berry and a light hint of the bakery note (it's not pancake but more like bread) The throw was ok but it was just the berry floating around. And it was a quick fader, maybe lasted an hour. I do love the label though and just really wanted a strong pancake scent! Too bad this wasn't.

This scent was mainly butterscoth and vanilla cake on me at first. It was so sweet and delicious. Then on the dry down the cheesecake and crust started to peek out. It added a little spice to the scent. It was so yummy but then...POOF! It faded soooo fast and I was devistated! This was a sweet and delicious scent filled with all the notes I love, but damn it the staying power was sooo short! It killed me to sell this off, but I think I was upset that it disapeared so fast on me! Maybe one day I'll give it a try again but with age I wonder if the potency would be even less...

Oh my I was sooo excited for this scent! All the notes are love for me! BUT On my skin it was only white chocolate and a sweet plastic note! So weird because I love coconut and it definitely shows up in other scents but not here. This was so sad. It had very little throw and didn't last long either. Most chocolate scents do do that to me though. This was such a disapointment.

In the bottle: sweet pumpkin On my skin: mainly sweet pumpkin and very little marshmallow Drydown: The marshmallow comes out a little more in the drydown and its sweet and lovely. I love marshmallow scents! But the pumpkin is still there almost over powering my sweet marshmallow. It's definitely foodie and yummy but I wish it was a little stronger and had more throw too. It didn't last very long either on my skin. But it is yummy.

A while back I went crazy and told myself I needed this in my life so I tracked it down with a vengeance. In the bottle: rose On my skin: I got a lot of rose and the honeyed cream had just the right amount of sweetness. I really like cream notes. It was very feminine and very pretty. I pictured Katrina Van TAssel totally wearing this. It didn't have a lot of throw though. Drydown: on the drydown the honey did get a little powdery but it wasn't bad just overpowered the rest of the scent a little. I wish the rose and cream were a little stronger but it is lovely. Did end up selling it.

In the bottle: mulled wine Wet on skin: this was boozy cherry wine and very sugary which was probably from the marzipan Drydown: The drydown brought out more of the marzipan which was really nice and the booze got more cherry strong. It's very pretty and I do like it but it wasn't special enough for me, not sure why not but it didn't blow me away. Think I wanted strong marzipan and light booze but it was the reverse. The throw was mainly wine and it lasted pretty long.

This is the cutest label ever! This scent in the bottle and on my skin wet is sweet and salty popcorn! It's like buttery popcorn with sugar on top of it which I really like! It's so sweet and comforting and CUTE! BUT... Then the drydown happens and the wood note comes out and while it's not a bad scent it is super strong and takes over all the popcorn and sweetness! It's just a polished wood scent after that! It does last but only the wood note! How sad and weird! Why couldn't the popcorn stick around??? So sad.

In the bottle: pumpkin Wet on skin: the pumpkin is still pretty strong but the carnation and spice is starting to come out and it makes it a floral pumpkin scent. Drydown: the pumpkin does fade away first and after is still the floral notes of alice with cream and maybe something else to make it a litle better then actual Alice for me. The throw is light and it does fade away in under an hour. Not blown away but it was a pretty pumpkin variation.

This is super buttery raspberries! Mainly butter and raspberries! I don't get much cookie but it's still ok. The scent is very realistic and yummy but I do wish more of the cookie came out to balance it out. I use it as a moisturizer and not in the bath, and on my skin it fades pretty fast but I like it while it's there.

This is 100% coconut shortbread cookies and I love it so much! It also has a delicious iced frosting note too. Makes my mouth water I want to eat it up! The only thing is I'm not a bath oil girl and when I use this as a moisturizer it has low throw and doesn't last long. But if this is ever released in a 5ml bottle I would be all over it!!!
