Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind: pearlescent vanilla musk with white sandalwood, grey amber, white patchouli, ambrette seed, and oudh. I don't want to be the first one! But here goes. In my quest to have my pairings (OLLA Adam/Eve, now this), I knew I had to nab her immediately. And she did not disappoint. She's complex and feminine. The vanilla musk and the sandalwood hit me first and then the amber and white patchouli. She's beautiful and her staying power is incredible: nearly a full 24 hours! Get her, you won't regret it. If this or Thomas doesn't sell out first, I'll be surprised! One of my faves.

A deep currant crème, the war within the heart. This is an amazing dark creme polish. It's a definite three coater for me and applies smoothly. It's the perfect fall colour and feels like a dupe of a certain luxury polish I've had for years! Edit: What is in this formula?! I've had it on nearly a week and *no* chips!!

The shimmering blue of midnight, ancient scars, and stifled whispers flickering with the metallic gleam of shadowed knives. I cannot say enough positive things about this lacquer. The fact that they used Guillermo's colour palettes makes you feel that much closer to the world of Crimson Peak and Allerdale Hall. The formula and colour are amazing. It's almost a one coater but I always do two to be sure. The photo doesn't capture the nuances of the metallic blue. I personally can never have enough blue nail polishes so I was delighted and so excited by this shade. This is backup worthy after just seeing it in the bottle. This will be on high rotation for me in the years to come!

On the flip side, I'm sure you won't have any trouble in selling the bottle. I'm sure someone is DISO of it!

Echoing the similar sentiments of skittles!! I pulled this out of my mail today and dabbed a bit on my wrists. It evokes the preteen in me that loved Lisa Frank stickers and perfume in plastic bottles. This is straight up happiness and bright in a bottle. I don't regret blind buying for a second!

My deeper concern has always been for you. If you are happy, I am happy. Bay rum and sandalwood. From the prototypes (before I smelled Thomas Sharpe), this was actually one I was very excited for. I picked him up after Beth said he was one she preferred. I thought it wasn't in stock, and I had to snap it up immediately! Wet in the bottle, he smells... like my Snow White hair gloss from last year, which I'm rationing, I love it so much! On the skin, he goes on smelling like Snow White, which makes me think of his scenes in the film. He's absolutely lovely and the staying power is quite nice. I'll be picking up this one a lot as it starts to move into "winter" in LA. Edit: Wearing this again today. The best I can describe him is that he smells like Snow White's Brother. Very lovely.

This really smells like a snuffed out candle amongst jasmine, almost transporting you to Allerdale Hall.

This reminds me of a fun time in university. I was 21 and a regular smoker. I smoked these cigarettes called Pink Elephants because they were pink and had a vanilla smoke filter. It also reminds me of waking up with last night's makeup on, smelling like the smoke and a bit of regret. The musk and smoke is great in this. Not as great as Pink wig spray, but I like it. Not backup worthy for me.

I picked this up off the etsy a few weeks ago and just got around to trying it. Based off the notes, I thought this was going to be a slam dunk for me, and a great light scent for the summer. Erm. Upon spraying it, it reminds me of a Voluspa candle I had over the holidays. It smells like a Christmas tree on me. I'm not getting any Orange Blossom or anything and it makes me so so sad! Especially now that my hair is shorter and it never gets wintery cold in Hawaii, I'm not sure when I'll really use this and enjoy it, so it may be on the market soon. Sad face.

We went out into the moonless and tortuous network of that incredibly ancient town; went out as the lights in the curtained windows disappeared one by one, and the Dog Star leered at the throng of cowled, cloaked figures that poured silently from every doorway and formed monstrous processions up this street and that, past the creaking signs and antediluvian gables, the thatched roofs and diamond-paned windows; threading precipitous lanes where decaying houses overlapped and crumbled together, gliding across open courts and churchyards where the bobbing lanthorns made eldritch drunken constellations. Night-sky blue microshimmer scattered with iridescent, hypnotic stars. This is like the night sky captured in a bottle that I almost didn't pick up until I saw someone else swatch it. It was a two-three coater for me, formula was a bit on the thick side, but I think I can add some thinner for it for it to move better. It's not holographic shimmer, but the effect is beautiful. A winner for me.

I get lilies, rose and amber on this. For me, this reads a little like a feminine twist on Thomas Sharpe. I've had a lot of people compliment it on me. I'll definitely keep it and put it in my rotation. Beautiful scent.

The nails lasted a good week before chipping started. I enjoyed the application and how pretty and vibrant it was. I'm not sure I'm going to reach for it as often as say.. Buried Secrets, but it sure is pretty!

I love how sweet and delicate this scent is. It evokes exactly that scene from the movie and smells like rose jam from Lush. This won't be in high rotation, but more of a mood-match fragrance for me. Actually, whenever Tom Hiddleston wants to dance? This is what I'm wearing.

I really enjoyed how pretty this was. It reminded me of Sally Hansen's Chrome polishes from about 16 years ago. It's a lighter yellow gold. I almost always do two coats of a polish and it was the perfect amount for even coverage. A beautiful colour; very classy. I'll probably be keeping this in high rotation.

Sniffing this on myself makes me want to be wrapped up with Tom Hiddleston dressed in Thomas Sharpe's clothing, as he shows me his little inventions. There's a bit of an innocence to it, an innocence that had to be lost right away, with the men's cologne in it. It's also kind of reminds me of fancy aftershave. I really like this!

This smell has a comforting aspect to it. It reminds me very much of my own grandmother (who still lives). I get a floriental from it and the throw is wonderful!

So beautiful. I love the rose of this, with the vanilla on the drydown. It's got a bit of a innocence and delicateness to it.

I wish this was a perfume, but I was able to test this and sprayed it on my scarf. I'm in love. It's a dark floral and has a bit of somberness to it. I feel like I stepped back in time with it, as it reminds me of my great-aunt's house. I need a huge bottle of this, ASAP!

This was gardenias and gunpowder on me. I love both, but for some reason, my skin doesn't like them both on me! I have a partial I'm going to sadly need to sell.

Like Zankoku_Zen mentioned, this smells like a peach version of Ava! I enjoy my decant, but I do have my bottles of Ava. She's lovely and it reminds me of when certain retailers make variations of the same fragrance with a twist.

This is such a lovely yellow. Yellow's a hard colour to get right for a nail polish. My experiences have been with Chanel's Mimosa that came out a few years ago, and while this lacks the subtle shimmer it had, this actually applies much better than my high end polish. Recommended!

On paper, this sounds like it should've worked with me. I think the kind of reaffirms my apple blossom turns... odd on me. It's a sad bit, but I think I may retry in a few weeks.

This evokes memories of someone I love dearly. Floral is very light, but I get a lot of leathery beeswax that lingers. It's a beautiful scent and seems like a youngin's bedroom. I love this and it lasts a long time. Perhaps the weather, but I sprayed it in my bedroom about 13 hours ago and I just went in to it smelling like that again! I'll have to get a backup eventually!

This has a warmth to the smell. It feels very soothing, and reminds me of being a little girl, waiting for my dad to come home from work. I can smell a bit of honey and would love to get notes on it sometime, but it's beautiful.

This looks like a dupe of Chanel's Feu de Russie on the nail. I missed out on that polish, but years later? I've got this. Now a nail tech friend of mine has always told me that two coats is necessary. Uh. Not with this polish. It may have been me following this rule of hers, but it did get a bit thick on one nail. It's such a beautiful brick-red. This one, I believe, has been sold the most. I'll have to get a back up bottle eventually. I can find myself reaching for this for years to come.
