  1. Rich slightly wet dirt...really the only bit that reminds me of fungi, I don't really smell the fungi but the dirt evokes it nicely. There's also an odd floral note on top which I wasn't expecting - white and a little bit green. Intriguing but I'm not a dirt note wearer. So happy to have had the frimp though!


  2. Just like it's namesake, this is a crazy scent. I can pick out the musk, lavendar, and penny royal. But there are other notes that I just can't bring a name to....they all seem to work together and yet fight each other at the same time, none dominating the others. Undefined craziness!!


  3. I agree, this is definitely a comfortin scent. It's very warm, you can definitely smell teh tobacco...and a bit of foodniess in there (must be the condensed milk and tea?-although to me it feels a bit nutty). Also, a very vague general aquatic feel to the scent, but not overwhelming. Too masculine for me but maybe I can finally convince the boy to try a scent.

     

     

    Put me in a cuddling mood....good for drinking hot cocoa, wrapped in a blanket, and watching a movie.


  4. Hmm, this actually comes off as rather perfume-y on me! There's incense and florals...but it's really strong and overpowering on me.I don't get sugar or lavender or bluebell. There's just some strong traditional perfume note that I'm amping but I have no idea what it is. Oh well, off to swaps it goes!


  5. At first this came off as terrible...cedar in the back but mostly a bitter almost rotting note. But it's as if Goneril suddenly realizes she was showing her true evil nature and swooped in to shower the place in flowers and hide what lies beneath. A complete floral bath over woodsy dark roses.


  6. I have to say I was intrigued but wary after Beth mentioned this was heavy on the cocoa...but oddly enough the chocolate isn't that strong on me. The first 20 seconds or so it comes of as complete cocoa powder but is quickly replaced by a honeyed peach mixed with clove (and a slight boozy aspect)...and the chocolate lingers in the background. It is a lot like march hare as others have mentioned.


  7. I actually get equal part cassia and sugar cane. Maybe a wee hint of fruit in the back. The cassia is very strong but doesn't seem tooverwhelm everything as much as it has on previous reviewers. Sweet but earthy with lots of cassia. Very interesting and unique. Ooooh, and there's the lemon starting to seep out at the end. Nice.


  8. Um, wow, this is scrumptious! I wasn't really expecting to care for it but it's fantastic!! And I agree that a man or a woman could wear this...personally I really want to try it on my guy but he'll resist so I have to think of a way to trick him into trying it. Lavender is really strong of the bat but mellows quickly into a light cherry, rose, and musk (woo!) combination. There is something classic about it...sort of clean sophistication with a hint of naughtiness behind it. Love it!


  9. Fruity woods from the moment is hits my skin...very consistent. Definitely a cherry syrup type of fruitiness and the woods is all cedar on me but I tend to amp cedar. But cedar just reminds me of my guinea pig cage. Alas.


  10. I agree with a lot of people that the dominant note is citrus - but that it comes of as more of a lemon note than a mandarin one. War indeed...lots of notes fighting it out to a very unique and complex ending! All the notes are basically struggling to shine through in this. I can pick out the black tea, cocoa, tonka and some of the herns (which herbs, I have no idea).

     

    This was a frimp from that lab which I would never have pick out by myself but it's very intriguing. I can't really decide if it's for me though. Into the box to be tested again!! I highly recommend everyone trying this though as it's so indescribable and nothing like anyone could possibly imagine (except Beth, of course).


  11. Wow, I agree with others that this comes off as a very unique scent and so hard to describe. The description is intriguing but I never would have ordered it myself...thank you for the frimp labbies!

     

    This is definitely an aquatic scent. It's cold and isolated - but not freezing cold. There is incense in the beginning but it fades pretty quickly. Some floral in the background, but more like a distant memory than a present force. A dash of clay. But still mostly aquatic.

     

    It lives up to it's description.


  12. Honestly this is a really nice scent but something about the aquatics mixding with the rose is giving this a fancy soap feel. However, it's one of the few aquatics that I think I could actually pull off. An aquatic for the non-aquatic lover?

     

    It's a very soft aquatic floral with rose feeling subtle when on me it usually takes over. There's only the faintest tease of fruit in the background.

     

    Very pretty. I was surprised at how much I liked this!


  13. A peachy floral - lily and peach mostly. In the beginning I did catch a brief incense note which someone else mentioned in their review too. Not really sure what it could be. A little rose in the background too. It's a pretty sense but there are other peach scents I prefer...and other floral ones too. Together the two types of scents are nice but nothing brilliant.


  14. Wellt he vanilla apricot background is lovely and intoxicating...but I somehow get an incense note. I think it must be a combo of the jasmine and ginger but it just doesn't work on me.


  15. I love lilac! I enjoy dragon's blood...and yet no win for me! There's something rather sharp and green in there that's throwing the whole scent off for me. Alas! I'll have to treasure my bottle of White Moon until I find another lilac that works on me...


  16. Powdered, honeyed lilies. Usually lily on it's own is pretty but unwearable. The honey in the makes the lily real come to life without being too floral However, I am getting a baby powder note which is odd...I've never gotten it before from either Beth's honey or lily notes. But if you don't get that note I can see that this would be a real winner!
