Minh Scent

True confessions- I bought this for the label. Wet, this is in your face sour fruit candy. The cotton candy comes out strong in the drydown, with traces of pomegranate.

I liked this when it arrived a month ago, but was disappointed it did not pack the punch the notes suggested. It has deepened since then, with the musk the main player and olibanum and patch supporting, oakmoss less apparent. It is a sophisticated, perfumey scent.

I am jealous others are getting a lot of sage on this! The patchouli is very smooth, light, the blackcurrant and worn leather dominant. There is a suggestion of ambergris, but it is not strong on my skin. There morphs quite a bit and final dry down is that lovely powdery iris which lured me in the first place. Low throw, low longevity.

This smells like delicious creamy chocolate. The "frostbitten" part of all the perfumes in this line have taken the original scent up a notch for me and Frostbitten Bliss particularly so. The frosty vanilla/white musky "snow" is beautiful and lasts long after the Bliss has faded.

In the bottle, it is all marshmallow and I was reluctant to put it on. However, on the skin in morphs into piney mint which is lovely.

Agree with reviewers above. Starts out strong peppermint and dissipates quickly. Pleasant.

A lovely sugared sweet pea scent! Like others have mentioned above, there does seem to be a creamy element to it as well. Low throw, long lasting. Very impressed!

This is one of those very well blended perfumes (in HG form!) where it is not that easy to pick out individual notes. Overall, this is a smooth, deep, perfumey patchouli with the clove and amber supporting it. If you are buying it for the lilac, you might be disappointed, as the scent does not feature that note, but rather uses it for the overall presentation. It is beautiful!

ETA This is the third time I am wearing this and am puzzled. The first two times, I got a well blended perfumy patch supported by clove. Today it started with super strong blast of clove before setting. Yes, I always shake!

A lovely, light fragrance. It is a soft rose on my skin. I get more of the white musk vibe than the other snow types. It has a very long staying power and is a subtle delight!

All notes I love- sandalwood, rose, honey. It is indeed very pretty, but also very light. This would be a great perfume for a little girl or those of you cursed to work in a scent-free environment.

YES! Rose geranium! I got a decant at the last minute on a whim. It is mostly a strong rose geranium on me, with tea rose peeking out. On dry dowm I get the beautiful, natural apple. Unexpectedly wonderful!

I am curious if the 2017 version is different than the previous one, as the rose geranium was less talked about in earlier reviews. Or perhaps it nicely aged in the lab.

To my nose, this is basically a rose scent. It is a strong rose, with some traces of resin from the myrrh. It is pretty, and reminds me if Rose Boughs and Rose Branches. I grabbed this for the oud, but, alas, did not get that barnyard I so love!

This is a beautiful lavender scent and I was surprised there was no vanilla listed in it. Might the white sandalwood gives it that vibe? Bergamot and pear not distinct. Love it enough for a bottle.

ETA Love it enough for a backup!

This is the perfect name for this bath oil, as it is indeed gentle. It is mostly a sweetened carnation with the barest hint of clove. Lovely!

To my nose, this is heavy on the snow and light on Sin. I do like Sin, but the cinnamon can be a bit much. Here it is the perfect grace note to the snow.

Mega morpher, this one! It starts out almost almond-like on my skin and then the vetiver comes up with a wonderful growl to recede into gnarly patchouli with a bit of sweetness, to occasional waves of an almost tar type note. It is a strong, beautiful BPALesque perfume, not for the light hearted.

ETA I did not wait long enough for the complete cycle. This has turned into the frosty snow note with undertones of vetiver and patch. The Frostbittens are knocking it out of the park for me!

In this Frostbitten, the Blood Amber seems to be the stronger player. It is a beautiful dance of dragon's blood and amber under a dusting of snow. It was extremely long lasting and strong on me and could be detected even after showering.

YES!! This is indeed as Kscha and Zankoku have described in terms of it being a traditional chypre perfume from a bygone era (mine-HA!). The pine adds a cooling winter feel and the frank is very light. I love this!!!

This starts with a strong blast of sweet fruitiness and pretty much stays that way on my skin until it fades to light fruitiness a few hours later. I am getting more berry smell than currant, and not a natural berry. Cannot smell the dough or donut note.

Oh, this is just beautiful! Dorian soaked in white musk vanilla! Doesn't get better than this!

This is a beautiful concoction. The dead leaves accord is the main player in this to my nose. The other notes are very light, adding to the overall perfumey prettiness. If you were put off by the oude note, don't be, as it is barely there.

I was grabby hands on this because of the magic word "absinthe". However, it is a very light note in here, dominated by a very sweet apple. I am no getting caramel in this, but more a fruity sugar. Low throw, decent wear length.

Interesting to read such varied reviews! This is by far my favorite of the four anniversaries I have tried. It starts out as pure Dorian, but a Dorian amped on vanilla. As it wears, the Dorian is still very much present, but with the vanilla taking more center stage. It does remind me very much of Antique Lace...but better because of the Dorian nuances. I get no sharp lemon, pink pepper or heavy lavender as others have mentioned. I may have to get another bottle.

Very pretty lavender and vanilla, with light whispers of grapefruit while wet. The grapefruit is a bit bitter. It did not last very long on me, fading into a light white musk in less than an hour.

No reviews on this beauty??! On first spray, I get a blast of blueberries- so pretty! The leaves on this comes out slowly and twine together with the fruit. I am not sure what "blueberry chypre" is, as the blueberry note is similar to the one in Ella and Blueberry Pumpkin Muffin. Hmm perhaps a bit more perfumey. The dead leaves note is gorgeous. This is very long lasting, but not much throw. Love the combination and may treat myself to a full bottle before they come down. This is different enough from my other Dead Leave scents to have a place in my arsenal.
