I'm so glad I tried this one! I definitely get the rose petals, which luckily smell more fresh than dried. The rest of the notes just blend so well together it's hard to pick them out. Like a previous reviewer said, there really is a "dusky" feel to this. It's a very nostalgic scent for me and makes me feel slightly wistful.
I need a bottle to slather myself with since it is a rather close to the skin scent. But I love it nonetheless.

This smells like a pumpkin spice candle on me. No blueberry at all. So sad.
(sorry I couldn't be more in depth, that's really all I got from beginning to end).
-
In the decant I get an almost salty smelling incense. Something like one of those "ocean" scented incense sticks. I actually kinda like it. Not getting any cake.
On the skin though the incense becomes very light smelling and sweetens quite a bit, though I never would guess cake. It almost has a sweet floral note to it that's rather pretty.
I might have to see if I can swap for a bottle.

At first sniff I like this, but as it starts to dry down it becomes too sweet and something about it isn't sitting right. It's probably the pumpkin (curse you arch nemesis!) and whatever gives it the creamy feel. It's making me feel slightly sick.
If you like pumpkin and foody scents though give this a shot. You'll probably have better luck than I did.

So sad. I was really hoping for all the coconut goodness and not the Snow White similiarity that some people got. So what did I end up with? Snow White. It smells terrible and at the same time very generic on me.
If you tried Snow White and hated it, this probably won't work for you. But if you love SW, this might be a good summer version.

Normally I love many leather scents, but find I have a hard time wearing them. Often they are too masculine for my taste or they give me a headache. But yay! Not this one! At first it's rather...busy smelling. Don't get me wrong, it smells great, I just have a hard time picking out the notes. As it begins to dry though, I can catch the smoky vanilla, red musk, and of course, leather! I also think I'm picking up the honey at the end, but it's more a faint earthy sweetness. And those of you who are floral hates, have no fear, no noticeable flowers here. Mostly though it's leather, vanilla, and red musk with all the other notes mingling in the background. I'm not sure how much it'll change as it settles and ages, but I hope not too much. I really like it the way it is. It's quite sexy and powerful smelling. Just what I would expect a VILF to smell like!

Let me preface this by saying I do NOT like pumpkin blends. They make me sick to my stomach. Always.
Or at least, until now! Finally, a pumpkin blend I really like! I can actually pick out each of the notes listed, though no single note overwhelms the others. And oddly, this doesn't strike me as a strictly falls scent like I expected.
Out of all the blends, I thought this one would be at the bottom of the list, but I think it's actually one of the few I want a bottle of.
-
Wow! A blend where the orris stays in check!
This is a very relaxing and comforting blend. It's mostly sweetened chamomile, orris, and a hint of ambergris. I think this would make a wonderful bedtime scent.
-
On me this is mostly apricots, sugar, a hint of lemons, and just a bit of vetiver. I didn't get nearly as much vetiver from this as I expected, esp. given the other reviews.
It's quite unique and much more wearable than I expected. It's also "cleaner" smelling than I would've thought. This would make a great year round scent.
-
Very pretty! It's mostly sweetened pear, tea, and a hint of carnation. It's a very fresh summery scent and just...pretty.
As much as I like it, I don't think it's really "me". But I'm glad I got to try it!
-
On me this is mostly sweet pea with candied fruit (berry?). Very pretty, but not something I can see wearing as a perfume.
For people who like the brighter, sweeter scents, this is a must have.
-
Sweet coconut! I LOVE this!!! I get virtually no back pepper, which I am so relieved about.
Need a bottle. Now.
-
As soon as I sniffed this I thought "Yankee Candle around Halloween!". I had my family sniff it and they said the same thing without me mentioning it.
It's very pretty and something I would love the house to smell like, just not something I want to wear as a perfume.
-
Dries down to a slightly sweetened musky vanilla. The spice is subtle at first but fades quickly.
I like this!
-
At first this smelled just delicious. Super juicy with a hint of sweetness from the honey. Then the brandy came out and killed it for me (brandy tends to smell rancid on me after a little while).
If it wasn't for the brandy, this would be a definite bottle purchase.
-
I love this one when it's wet. Very green and outdoors smelling with a hint of honey. As it dries though it goes kind of flat and stale smelling. Boo.
-
I like this one. Like previous reviewers have said, it's a minty, slightly herbal, honey. Very nice for summer.
It actually reminds me of a honey version of Anesthesia.
-
Yum! This is a delicious spiced honey with just a hint of greenery. I really like this and could see wearing it a lot this fall/winter. Might have to pick up a bottle.

When I used to live in this beach resort town I worked at a little eclectic hippie shop that sold books, incense, oils, etc. Panther Moon smells like that shop when we used to burn the heavier smelling incense in the evenings. I loved that smell mingling with the salty breezes.
At first this is almost all champaca, labdanum, and myrrh. I'm not crazy about this stage as it's almost too resinous, but as it dries the dark musk and ambergris come out to help soften the resins. I would never have guessed there was anise in this.
It's still very much an incense/head shop type of blend, but I actually like it more than I expected. I have a feeling this will age beautifully and I could see wearing this alot this fall/winter, or on rainy days like today.
Also, it's quite strong at first, so don't slather right away. It does seem to calm down quickly though, but to be on the safe side, take it easy with this one.
-
WTH? If I hadn't read the notes, I would have no idea there was eucalyptus or lime in this. It smells mostly of soft leather with a hint of soapiness and the mint bringing up the rear.
I am so heartbroken over this one. Luckily, I think dh likes it so it's going in his box. It's a good "work scent" for him, many but fresh and clean smelling.
-
I am so heartbroken about this one. I'm found that I just can't handle the champagne note which is what gives this it's fizziness. It just makes me a bit queasy.
On me it's smells like lemon or lime cleaner and pool.
-
Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. It's a lavender mint, but somehow seems so much more than that. It's grounding and invigorating at the same time and just makes me feel pretty. I was worried that this might smell medicinal and it does a bit in the bottle but on the skin it blossoms into something just beautiful and very wearable.
This easily shot into my top 5 and many bottles will be needed.
-
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. It's not nearly as spicy or heavy as I expected. It's more resinous with a nice blend of spice and creamy sweetness.
I am so happy I took the chance on a bottle.

I almost didn't try this one since amber rarely works well on me, but after reading all the reviews I decided to give a shot.
It's actually very pretty and the amber doesn't kill it. Lol. There is a slightly powdery note, but it's not altogether a bad thing. The vanilla is a sweeter floral one (which could be the vanilla playing with the tiare) and the sandalwood balances it out nicely. The cardamom is virtually invisible. There's something here that reminds me of a note in Boo, I'm thinking maybe it's the same type of vanilla?
I do like it a lot more than I expected, though I'm not sure if I like it enough for 2 bottles. I'll let them age a bit and see.

Oh my. I love this one. It's a gorgeous spiced dark chocolate incense scent. It's not quite foody, but delicious and sexy.
But after wearing it for a while it became a touch heavy. I think this is one of those scents I love to sniff now and then but will rarely wear.
