  1. The apple note seems to go cloying, though maybe that's just me (I found the same thing with one of the Halloweenies.)  Or maybe it's the combination with the musk.  It smelled very nice in the bottle, but now I feel like I'm in a cloud of flavored syrup.


  2. Pink and sugary and tart and delicious!  I don't know if I'll buy this since I already have Baobhan Sith, but I'll definitely use up the decant vial.  It's like a fizzy cocktail or fancy candy, uplifting like a good citrus scent should be.


  3. The lab's chocolate note often overpowers everything else, but it's balanced here by the gingerbread and anise.  I think the weirdness is nice and distinctive, an offbeat gourmand.  I could see a vampire smelling like this at a midnight party where they serve absinthe and bat-shaped cookies.


  4. I was afraid this might be all fruit- my experience with Blackcurrant Sufganiyot- and when I first opened the bottle, it was very tart.  Luckily, when I put it on my skin and let it dry, it became a very pretty, sweet blend.  The pomegranate was soft and bright, while the pastry provided a warm base.  This will be one I wear a lot, and not just in winter.


  5. This one shifts on me!  I started out not liking it at all- probably the musk, that's very unpredictable on my skin- but it's settled down into a wonderful golden vanilla.  I'll have to keep the sample around for whenever I'm doing any Arthurian writing!


  6. This is a new favorite!  The florals are there, but there's also an unexpected note that almost smells citrusy- I guess that's the carnation.  It's a playful scent.  I probably don't need a bottle when I already have Alice for my carnation needs, but I'm definitely using up the sample!


  7. This smells delicious!  There's nothing evil or alien about it- if it's a goddess, it's an earth mother goddess.  I smell gingerbread and spices primarily, more than resins (probably a good thing on my skin), and it'll definitely be a steady winter gourmand.


  8. 2013 version: This is almost a gourmand, smelling of soft fluffy pink candy.  But it's not too sweet, and the florals still come through, even if it's not quite as cold as the Frostbitten scents.  I'm enjoying it, and I think it will continue to be a cheerful scent for me.


  9. This is a very ladylike scent, bordering on old-lady-scent.  I wasn't keen on it right out of the bottle, but it grew more delicate as it dried.  I like the soft florals and the sweetness, and I may wear this on days when I want to make a quieter statement with my scent.  Sadly, it fades on me rather quickly (or maybe that's just my nose!)


  10. This is my first scent with the frost note, and I don't know how they do it but it actually smells cold!  It's light and chilly and more "dainty" than usual Alice, a sweet soft rose.  (Also, my husband was horrified by the image of poor Alice being frostbitten, so I had to tell him that knowing wonderland, she was probably just nipped at the heel by a frost creature.)


  11. A brownie.  A rich, gooey brownie.   I’m happy, because I feel like most of the lab’s coco scents tend to smell the same (even my beloved Gelt.)  This is a much more edible chocolate scent.  Wearing it doesn’t make me feel like a sophisticate, it makes me feel like a little kid, and I mean that in a good way.
