*Sigh* if only my parents had stayed together long enough so that my father could have taught me bengali or hindi. Oh well!

I've printed out the descriptions of all of the new releases, and I'm carrying them around the house with me. I read, I ponder. I read some more, I swoon. There are ten things I want to buy, but can't all at once. I guess I'll focus on the shorter-term ones I want first (ABHISARIKA, Luperci, and Smut),

 

Hee, I love how we're all posting the Heroine scents in all caps because we're copy/pasting them from the site. I was doing the same thing on my LJ.

 

Congratulations to Beth on coming up with blends I can't spell!

 

 

Lol! I so thought about that the first time I saw it! Someone one makeup alley asked me what I want to get. I'm like, I can't spell em!

Yeah! Sugar skull 06!

 

In the bottle: DEAR LORD! This is the so heavy! I actually backed away. I smell molasses, molasses and more molasses with a slight sugar undertone.

 

On my skin: MMM, this smells very festive. I get a spicy note (maybe thats the candied fruit?) with sugared molasses. It calms down thank goodness to something very comforthing. So far, I have not gotten any placticy notes.

 

This dries to a lovely winter scent for me.

I really don't want to be mean with this one, but it is the most vile smelling perfume I have ever sniffed. It smells like old coffee mixed in with an old man's dentures. Ug, I don't smell any roses or any jasmine. I could not even bring myself to put it on my wrist. This will be swapped away quickly.

There is something quite strange about this one. I smell the chocolate, with a hint of something creamy, and also I smell something floral. The combination has completely put me off. While I like chocolate, the floral/herbal note in this does not work for me.

In the vial: sweet, almondy, something like milk?

 

On my skin: Yuck!! Oh dear I so wanted to like this. It turned into a mixture of baby powder, some air freshener that you would find in a woman's bathroom (or a deodorant on a woman's pad) and something like baby formula. I wanted to like this so bad!

Yum! I totally get bubblegum on the first smell in the imp and then cherry lollipops. This initially smelled like a cherry blow pop or cherry gum. But then I smell something else, perhaps this is the woman's perfume? Something kinda like chemicals? But this seems to work out for me and smell awesome after a while.

I absolutely love this scent! This is lovely with a childlike quality. I get a strong scent of vanilla and I smell the, whats that again, sweet pea? The amber is there as well, although not as prominent. Very delicate, light and sweet. I like it!

Something about this scent I just could not stand! I got tons of flowers but I also get something strong and pungent that did not work with my chemistry at all. The minute I put it on, I felt extremely depressed. This is not a cheerful blend I came to find out. It became so unnerving that I ended up in the bathroom at Target scrubbing it off my wrist. Perhaps it may smell better with age, I dunno. Maybe it was my chemistry as well. I swapped this imp away posthaste. It was a little too dark for me...

I must be in the minority here because this doesn't smell fantastic to me. I smell something spicy and vanilla sweet. This could almost be foody, except for the spiciness. It would be wonderful if there weren't this powdery mustiness that reminds me of my grandmother's old drawl. Its an almost stale scent to me (must be my chemistry). I'm going to try an aged version and see how this fares on me. I suppose I will have to now, since my imp top broke and I was forced to toss it

Hmm, lemon is correct!! A very light, pleasant scent. I do like this scent, although there is a ugly note in it that makes it smell strange after it has dried I can't describe it, maybe a chemical scent? My chemistry must suck. Lovely, but I've decided I don't like this after all

My first review so here it goes...

 

In the Bottle: Oh yeah I totally get nothing but crisp apples, apples, apples!!

 

Wet: Still Apples...ok....

 

Dry: Apples and Cinnamon and, unfortunately, a bit of Yankee Candle smell! Still quite lovely and very characteristic of fall, just wish the Yankee Candle note would disappear. This could be a very lovely oil for room scents.
