Didn't figure out the peppermint note until I read it, now it totally makes sense. Kidishly sweet, bubblegum-y. A lovely, slightly less plasticky strawberry note comes out after about ten minutes on my skin. Really cute!

Hm, Not what I'd expected from the name, but hey, I hadn't checked the notes before sniffing. It's sweet but salty pastry. Warm, slightly spicy. It's making me visualise eating spiced bread when really drunk... Not sure how that image popped in my head, but it's kinda like that, in a good way. It also reminds me of this. Doesn't morph much on my skin besides that there was a 'funky' note before that has now faded. Which is a good thing, it's a little more adult I guess. Nice, sweet, funny.

Oh my god I've smelled this before somewhere and I can't get myself to flashback where or what. It smells like a churchyard on a chilly, autumn night. Definately has it's spooky elements, but also something sweet and floral. If you've never been to the Efteling (and considering most people on here aren't Dutch there's a good chance you haven't) you'll probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm getting some crazy spookslot vibes. ...A good thing, to be sure. Considering whether I should get myself a bottle if it comes back this year, it's that good.

Winter tuberoses bending gently in a crisp, cold breeze. Very very frosty minty toothpaste. when applied to my skin, the floral notes come out very quickly. It's actually a bit fuzzy, as if this clear winter day is not as clear as it says, but has some fog hanging around, heh. Nice and evocative!

Oooh, lovely! A fruity (strawberry?), fizzy, just-not-soapy and playful scent. ...I think my skin does this with a certain note that I haven't been able to put my finger on so far, but it morphs everything to straight up soap. It's not a bad soap... But I'd rather smell like pink champagne if that was the intent than soap. It's seriously cute though!!!

In the imp it's oddly fruity, almost figgy and raspberryish but more artificial. To be completely honest I'm really not quite sure what to say, I'm not too crazy about this. On drydown it goes slightly tarty, almost a faint smell of ginger cookies. That said... ...odd.

WOW, yep, that's definately something that should scare you off! A dark as the night vetiver with something like rotten fruit in the background. Not sure about the rest of the notes myself, but the frankinsence is there and adds another spine-tingling element of the afterlife to it. I'm not at all a vetiver fan, and to me this is just very unpleasant generally, but, glad I got to sniff more of the crimson peak's. It's definately dark and brooding, and ofcourse evocative and fits the film/concept.

Metallics. Metallics with something incredibly sweet... Caramel? Just ever so slightly cologne-y and soapy; these two amping on my skin like crazy, plus it getting super zingy in the process, then it goes a little fizzy and sour. Very tell-tale, very inspiring, definately nice, but not something I think I'd wear often.

In the imp it's a dusty stuffy warm scent. Insence-y and floral. Got something really fancy going on. Like an I'm-off-to-the-opera-charles type fancy. Lovely hybiscus. Unfortunately on my skin it turns into more of a cleanser of some sorts, still, with some of the nice notes in there, but it morphed into it's wetter, dishwasher sister.

Upon a second sniff, I suddenly know what it reminds me of; (/a specific/) clean hotel. As in, the hallways and foyer and whatnot. Weird, I know, but it's absolutely not a bad thing. Not sure what the notes are supposed to smell like, but it's a minty, slightly sweet and juicy but dusty type clean. Really quite lovely!

Fresh. The green tea and lemon being the most obvious to me in there. It's actually quite sweet for the slightly grim name it bears... Goes all lemon on my skin. Nice, but not for me.

Hmm. Lovely! From it imp, it's like toilet cleaner to me, but if you sniff the same thing, don't let it fool you. On my skin, it morphs to a warm, slightly spicy and creamy floral. It's very sweet and I'm only getting a touch of insence. Fantastically blended as everything just balances out so well!! It reminds me of something from my childhood, but I really can't put my finger on it what that thing would be...

Soft, sweet, but with a dark edge to it. It's not similar to, but has the same sort of vibe to it as the vampire bride. Bright, feminine. Gah! As soon as I put this on my skin all the notes dissapear but the tobacco and peach! It's nice and sweet, but way too subtle for me. Aw. :c

A bitter floral. It's not something I've smelled before. On my skin, the gardenia really amps, and the rest sorta stays in the background. Gardenia's are unfortunately not for me but I really don't find this unpleasant!

Bleh. Not for me. That aside, this is kinda like a cabin-in-the-woods-in-winter type scent to me. Or maybe that wood/burn smell if you walk into a hardware store (where they happen to be cutting wood). On drydown, it goes a bit more 'stone' on me if that makes any sense. Kind of the stone note in dwarf. Still smell the burnt wood, but also stone and warm water.

I got a sniffie in a swap a while ago and accidentally mixed up this one with the old one, oops. There is quite a difference, but both are lovely. Gotta be honest I just had a sniff of drink me and it reminds me a little of this. However while that's more in the tarty-sweet area, this is definately more chocolate-y sweet. It's delicious. I'm afraid it goes a little plastic on me but I might get a bottle later on anyway, deliciousss....

Phew! What a stinky creature of the night! I find all the notes pretty easily distinguishable, vetiver here ruining it for me again. Bah. Doesn't morph too much aside from the fact that it's more earthy in the imp and more smoky on drydown. Interesting and certainly tells a story, but, not for me. :')

Hmm, it's so sweet it's almost like there's honey in here. A soft, swift vanilla, the white notes turn this into something really cold. And there's that lovely bpal dead leaves note. Enlightening but dark! EDIT: Ew, this goes all kinds of nasty on me when it's completely dry... too bad.

Oh, I didn't expect the citrus/lime notes in there at all, but it's quite nice. Not too sharp. A bit smoky as well, and some spices in the background on my skin. image-evocative, very interesting!

In the bottle I get a lot of fig and warm, sharp berries. On my skin it turns to lovely, natural squishy blueberries, and the raspberries that sets a firm, but soft background. It's all gold-and pinkish on me. So good, so soft. slightly powdery. Just enough musk to give it that imaginary glow. Yum! Wish this was stronger on me.

Hmmm. Wet, this is almost velvety. Smooth and a bit ...zesty? I think it might be the combination of the jasmine and benzoin in there. On my skin, there's almost something foody about it, but it's also like walking into a forest full of bushes of fresh berries n' whatnot. I have to get used to it, but it's very, very interesting. Cold, dark, and gender-neutral/feminine-leaning. It reminds me a bit of the forest reverie when it's been on my skin for a while; minty, dark and green but still with something that keeps it from going too boring and gives it a little twist. The forest reverie is the sweet, summery sister of this, while this stays on it's dark, misty path.

I'm getting toilet cleaner from the imp. Applied directly to my skin a more fruity/floral note comes out directly. Quite a lovely red rose, with a very strong myhrr and that muskyness very in your face. The ylang ylang is almost sugery. Odd combination, goes a bit plasticy after a little while. Not bad, but not for me. Oh well...

Very similar to the first version, while that one was a bit thicker, sharper and spicier. This one is a bit more smooth and soft but that's exactly how I like it. To be fair, when this bottle came in yesterday I barely smelt it but appearantly it had to settle and it's obviously moriarty now. I hope that it ages to where it gets just a little more of that punch that the first version had, otherwise it's basically the same thing. Lovely! <3

Definately getting a big whiff of watermelon in there but there's something clashing in it for me. Probably the mandarin/strawberry combination, and on my skin it goes a bit plasticy or just artificial hard fruit candy... However, looking at this from an unbiased perspective, it's definately a bit woody and musky alongside a plethora of juicy fruits!

Oooh! A very masculine, warm, floral and musky. Green. Honestly I'm getting imagery in my head of a handsome man lying on a bed of flowers, berrybushes growing a few metres away. Very sexy. A bit citrusy, and cologney but not too much and it doesn't drown the rest of the notes. Pretty!!
