I fail at notes, but I do know that I love this. It smells like a commercial perfume that I had years ago, but I can't remember what it is! I smell it and can remember WHERE I wore the commercial perfume, I just can't remember what it is.

It's definitely a floral, but like I said, I fail at notes. It's lovely though, and I'm glad that I was able to get an extra bottle.

I got to sniff this at Jo's today. I didn't test it though, because the smell in the bottle didn't appeal to me. I agree though, that it's a floral of some sort. I'm just not a floral sort of person.

I was hoping for the honey that everyone raves about. Instead I got floral. No trace of honey to be found. Just floral.

In the bottle, on the skin, dry. All just floral.

Buttery popcorn in the bottle.

Buttery popcorn wet.

Buttery popcorn dry.

I really like it but I don't know that I'll wear it often. I just don't think I ever really have a reason to smell like popcorn. Besides, it makes me hungry!

Midway smells exactly like walking through a carnival. This is definitely one of my favorite scents and I'm glad that I have an extra bottle of it! It's cotton candy, funnel cake love.

Always late to the party, but I just got this.

It's very Lemon Pledge in the bottle and wet. I had to try it though and I'm glad that I did. Once it's on and dry it turns into this awesome scent. The first day that I tested it I forgot what it was that I had put on. I spent the rest of the night sniffing and trying to figure out what it was! It turns into a sweet-leathery scent that's really lovely. I'm glad that I was able to get a bottle, even if it was late!

Might be nice on a guy... or a dog.

Agree! On the dog part, at least. Frederic smells the way that my dogs did when they came home from the groomer's. Or the groomer's shop itself.

Frederic is not love.

Sorry, but I have to bring up the Lovecraft-ness again. I wanted to see how many different ways things were pronounced. A note on Cthulhu though, since I was discussing it with a friend. I had to share because it was way too much to type to not share with everyone. Hehe

This is from the notes in "The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories":

On the pronunciation of Cthulhu Lovecraft has left several accounts, all slightly differing; his associates have also supplied contradictory testimonies. The most definitive statement by Lovecraft occurs in a letter of 1934: "...the word is supposed to represent a fumbling human attempt to catch the phonetics of an absolutely non-human word. The name of the hellish entity was invented by beings whose vocal organs were not like man's, hence it has no relation to the human speech equipment. The syllables were determined by a physiological equipment wholly unlike ours, hence could never be uttered perfectly by human throats...The actual sound--as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it-- maybe taken as something like Khlul-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly. The u is about like that in full; and the first syllable is not unlike klul in sound, hence the h represents the guttural thickness."

Apparently R'lyeh was originally called L'yeh, too.

/nerd rambling

I got this as a frimp, and apparently the lab knows what I want more than I do! It reminds me of F5, which I LOVE, but when it dries it's different. I get that rubbery smell that someone had mentioned. It's almost like a pencil eraser.

I do love this scent though and I'm pretty sure that I need a bottle! Hm. I wonder what it would smell like on the boy...

I've never ever done a review, so this won't be nearly as detailed as everyone else's, but I love this TONS!

I don't like it in the bottle. I sniffed it and though, "Wow. I hope it doesn't stay that way."

I put it on over 6 hours ago, and I still smell like dirt and roses.

I have to add that I feard it because I don't like patchouli, and my skin tends to amp it, but not this time. I'm SO happy that this works on me.

Nevermind the fact that her casket's adorable! (As was the lil' bat sticker on top of my box.)
