I agree with the above poster. I get sea of glass without the lemon & more floral. I was hoping for a little more lemon, but was relieved when I got no honey.
I will say that this has been the absolute longest lasting bpal on my skin. It has been the only one that has lasted an entire day on me. I'm still deciding if I love it or if I'm going to trade my bottle...

Um this is gorgeous. I mean, REALLY a gorgeous. It's not something I ever would have picked from the description, but thanks to the lab I got a lovely little free imp. I mostly get the tobacco, but on me it mostly smells of vanilla sheesha. There's something else there that grounds the scent & I'm guessing that must be the tonka. LOVE
I will be wanting a bottle & a bottle of the coconutty proto version.
Why do you do this to me bpal? You make me need things I didn't even know I liked!!!

This was bizzare on me. It started out as fizzy orange soda, within 5 minutes it was orange soap, then 10 minutes later it was almost completely gone. It might be really nice in a burner.
-
So I hated this when I opened the bottle, because I was expecting chocolate for some reason. (My mistake!) I'm also not generally a fan of the labs cherry note & to a lesser extent dragons blood.
With all that being said, together they friggin' sing! I love this one! It's sweet sticky spicy cherry candy.

I'm learning more & more inscense & Amber are really just not for me. This isn't a bad scent, but it's really cloying on me even after just applying a dab from the imp stick.
I liked it better after I washed it off & it was much fainter. Now it's really nice, actually.

This smells glorious. It's smells like I've stuck my face in a spring bouquet & have come up with a face full of yellow pollen.
I'm not proficient with specific flower smells, but this smells exactly like what I imagined a scent called nectar would.
On a semi-related note: this is my first hair gloss & I love what it's done for my hair.

Wet, this is super yuzu, which I love, but yuzu always disappears upon dry down on me. So sad.
On dry down this is really strong of oregano (like an oregano plant, not dry spice) with a little citrus in the background.
I'm glad I got a decant, but I won't be needing a bottle.
After a second look at the notes, I may have been confusing the thyme for oregano.

This is a velvety lush rose, which I very much like.
My husband, however, told me I smell like soap.
-
I have an imp of croquet that smells of cinnamon. I'm wondering if it might be mislabeled since there's no cinnamon in the scent description.
I want more of it whatever it is.
-
I second poisoned apple. It's one of my favorites.

I was actually excited about this one, but sadly it turned to soap on me as soon as it touched my skin.
It smells like the fancy soaps that we had in the bathroom when I was a kid that we weren't allowed to use.
-
This is yellow snowballs with lots of added sugar.
I want to eat my arm right now. Seriously, it smells like a beautifully iced lemon pound cake.
-
I was expecting something similar to dark chocolate, fig & tamarind, but instead ended up with lots & lots of quince! I like it... A lot.
The quince is loud & a little sharp, but in a good way. After a few minutes it tones down a little bit.
The rich chocolate of dcft never shows up, but it's a gorgeous blend nonetheless.
-
I have the 2011 version. This reminds me of rose macarons! It's slightly sweet from the vanilla, and gives the idea of being light & fluffy.
-
This turns mostly pineapple & ginger on me, two scents that really don't work with my chemistry.

Aizen-Myoo
in Excolo
This is one of my favorite gc scents. It's juicy, fruity, and still has subtle complexity.
-
In the imp, this smelled warm and sweet.
It turned quite a bit more musky on my skin, and while smelling gorgeous, it was nearly immediately headache inducing.
I don't get the honey at all (which is a good thing for me.)
15 minutes later I have to shove my face into my wrist to smell it.
It's really nice at some stages, but I think this will be added to my swap list.
-
I get mostly violet and tuberose. On me it has the sweet playfulness that sweet pea has.

Whip
in Ars Amatoria
This is a sultry deep rose scent. I get hints of the leather off & on, but you can always feel it, if that makes sense.
-
This smells like a fizzy hi chew candy. I love it.
-
Mars
in Celestials
I love the red color of this oil.
I pretty much get cinnamon, clove, & carnation. The carnation is mostly in the bottle, it goes away on the initial dry down & then comes back later as the dominant note
-
I get chocolate & orchid, which I love. It's really nice.

Trying to find the right winter scent for me

For wintery snow scents, I recommend:
The Snowglobe (sugary snow)
Nuclear Winter (pine, mint, & snow)
Blue Snowballs (blue raspberry candy & snow- smells horrible in the bottle, but heavenly on)
Yule (evergreen & snow)
