*note* I got this as a frimp from a girl that was in an untrustworthy decant circle... thus, she said it "smells like the bottle I have, but the person was not trustworthy, so I am not sure if it was diluted at all".

That being said, I will still review it, as it seems just like the bottle I sniffed at a M&S...

On my arm, this scent is very... herbal? pine-y, even. I assume this is the wormwood. It is turning a little weird on me, though... going a bit sour. Could be the honey absolute, as honey does not like me that much I smell the spices, too... j

Not sure if I entirely love this scent, but it is intriguing enough to give a second try soon!

Freak Show has me intrigued beyond my normal capacity... sweet? fruity? CHOCOLATE? It is sort of like I'm not sure if I like it, or hate it... but I love it... but it is weird... but. but. but... CAN'T STOP SNIFFING! It keeps changing, and that excites me to try it more! I probably won't want a bottle of this (or do I? LOL), but this imp isn't going ANYWHERE! I'm obsessed!

Oh, and it also reminds me of Dia De Los Muertos , as others have mentioned... not the same smell, but the same sort of conflicting scents.

I was lucky enough to get an imp of this from someone that refers to the scent as "My Precious" (see Reedsong's review above. hehe). And it is, indeed, a lovely scent! I'm a big fan of Sea of Glass & Empyreal Mist, and this is definitely in the same world as those two. Very aquatic and crisp... not too "sharp", as some aquatic scents can be... To me, as well, this could be very gender neutral! I *will* find a scent that i can make my boyfriend wear, I swear! Maybe this one?

LOVE THIS!

I could be crazy, but to me this smells like Bazooka bubblegum or those really cheap round pink mints you get in the candy isle? BUT, I LOVE it!! I assume that that scent is the spice, mixed with the carnations... but I'm really not positive. I want to eat this one, which is never good... but Frumious will stay in my "super yummy BPAL" pile forever!

mmmmm.... seriously. This scent is SO delicious! It is a strong pink scent (if Peony's weren't pink, I would have no idea why that color just represents this bright smell!). Full bloom and gorgeous... I did not know what a Peony smelled like, but will now have to go out and find me some!

Oh, and the scent LASTS and lasts on my wrist! HOORAY!

it seems I've been searching forever for a perfume that duplicates what it actually smells like when you have someone give you roses... and this scent is IT.

First, I'm in love with the art on this bottle... I can't stop admiring it! Then, well, the scent? It really is the TRUE rose scent I was after. Strong and... thick? Nobody gives me roses... and, well, technically I'm more into non-traditional flowers... but the SMELL. I love it SO much. This is quite possibly my all time favorite BPAL to date!!

ok, i tested the 2004 version of this...

the first time i tried a bit, it was a very sweet light floral! I loved it!!

This 2nd time, the tobacco is standing out very strong... almost peppery? I still like it, though, but I want that floral smell back! I have to try this a third time soon!!

yummy! this smells like a nice cup of tea... Very similar to Embalming Fluid, but the ginger gives it a little something different. I still prefer EF, though...

very light, and very lovely!

hmm... not sure on this one. I like the scent, but there isn't MUCH of one, if that makes any sense? it is so light... i feel like i'm straining my nose to pick up the full scent.

i'll say i'm undecided on this one... I'm going to have to try it again, when i don't have 5 other scents all over my arms! hehe...

at first, i smelled a lovely lemony floral! Then it got a bit musky...

Unfortunately, about 20 mins later, my arm is a big pile of musk, with no yummy lemon left.

off to the swap pile for this!

umm... hmmm... Not sure WHAT it is that is weird in this blend, but it is NOT smelling great on me. I smelled floral in the bottle! but it got all "twisted", just like the description says, on my arm. Ew... not a fan of this one

the first time I tested this was from my Enabler (it was *oh the horror* in the swap pile!). I loved it! I took it home, happy as can be...

so, well, I just tried it again so I could write my review... and, WOW. Umm... not sure the difference in body chemistry today, but I have a Dollar Store Pine Tree Car Air Freshener on my arm, and it is burning my nose. LMAO.

I guess this moves to MY swap pile now... boohoo...

i smell lemon Pledge, and it is one of my favorite smells! hehe... i smell the honeysuckle a bit, but mostly just sweet sweet Pledge. *snifffffffffff*

i smell a sweet candied fruit... i like it, but i'm not sure I'd wear it again... It must be the grapefruit

it is weird to read that there is cherry in this, as I totally got NO cherry in mine! WEIRD.

for me, this was a soft floral... but it went a bit sour (i assume that is the lilies). This scent did not like me, unfortunately... ah well.

a sweet floral! Very nice... after being on for a while, I swear I smelled a hint of lemon... then it became almost completely rose. A nice soft rose! Loved this one

Ah, yes... I tested this without reading that it was geared towards men... it is DEFINITELy a man's cologne, and a gorgeous one at that!

It was a bit sweet... and I swear I kept thinking of leather? Not sure where that is coming from for me...

unfortunately my boyfriend thought it was too sweet, so he won't wear it. boohoo

i kept thinking "apricot" instead of Peach, but i think it is because this is listed as "peach wine", so maybe that gives it a bite more than usual peach

This is very sweet, but light... like if you were driving past peach trees, and you caught the scent in the wind. Beautiful!

mmm... floral! apple with jasmine... The jasmine is light, and doesn't take over right away...

Unfortunately, the 2nd time I wore this it turned into my "typical" scent involving jasmine: It turned into a Jasmine SN. LOL.

I LIKE this! but, well, my skin just loves jasmine too much... i have about 10 scents probably now that all smell the same on me. hehe...

this was a generous frimp from when I went to the NJ/NYC Meet N Sniff

Lurid smells DIVINE in the bottle! lemon-y, to me... a spicy citrus? Unfortunately, i missed the fact that LAVENDAR (my arch nemesis) is in this blend, and it went a little sour... still, I didn't DISLIKE the scent! Just was a little disappointed by my skin's chemistry with lavendar

i wouldn't typically have went for this scent, but my Enabler had it in her "swap" pile, so I tested it... and I was pleasantly surprised! Almond is mostly all I smelled... a sweet almond. I put it on, and it was sweet almond...

Unfortunately, after it was there a while the sweetness disappearred, and I was left with a dry smell... not a BAD smell, but I really missed that sweet part!

Usher... why does it have to have this name? LOL. "Usher" makes me think of abs and yucky R&B music

Anyway, THIS Usher is quite lovely! I smell a bit of mint, but mostly just a light sweet soft scent. I LOVE the scent, but it disappearred SO quickly on my wrist... so sad

it is only normal for HennaFairy and I to do this one after the other... we split a bottle

This scent has the best name ever, as it matches EXACTly what the scent is! It is a very clean aquatic scent... clean and crisp.

It pretty much is the same in the bottle, on my wrist, and hours later... Lovely!

in the bottle... strong floral, but with something that keeps it from being "sharp". Turns out that is what the vanilla did to the floral, and it is AMAZING!

On me? About the same as sniffing the bottle... the flowers blend beautifully, and the jasmine doesn't attack me (like usual!). HOORAY! the vanilla really must "counteract" the strength of the florals... makes this even better!

I have to say... this scent fills a void that I had, and I'm SO happy! I was able to get a decant of this (and will have to stalk out a bottle, too, i guess... *sigh*)

There was a scent at Bath & Body Works YEARS ago called "Refreshing Garden Mint". It was probably the best smell i had ever smelled in a lotion, let alone in a mint (love mint, but this is so LIGHT!). Snow White IS that smell. Now I can possibly finish off my lotion that I've been hoarding, without fear of the scent disappearing from my life forever! hehe.

could be possibly my favorite BPAL so far!
