Very sweet and sugary coconut, I get a hint of cardamom. Sadly, on me this wasn't anything special. Coconut is one of my favorite notes, but I have other coconut scents in my collection that are more unique than this.
-
I get more noticeably more ginger than lemon. The scent overall is fresh smelling, but with the strong spice of ginger, and lemon to round it out. I'm more of a citrus lover, so I was a little disappointed with how it turned out on me.

Rose water and cognac, reminds me a lot of A Spirit Katie. Light, sweet, and rosy.
-
Just like a caramel apple, very sweet, with the sharp crisp of the apple to balance it out. I do get a little bit of the butterscotch as well. Very sweet overall and very foody.
-
Icy musk, giving a cool sense to the scent, little bit of pine. I don't get the eucalyptus, but after wearing it a while, I do get a hint of opoponax. Very cool, light, and understated on me.
-
Almost all clove on me. Spicy but almost fresh smelling. Can't pick out the chocolate on its own, but it gives the scent a certain sweetness to it (without it being foody).
-
Lemon cupcakes filled with honey. I was worried for a moment as I can only smell honey in the bottle, but on my skin, it's buttery lemon creme, with a noticeable helping of honey. Very sweet and cakie, lemon and honey scent.
-
Orange with a large side of ginger. While orange is the star of the scent, the ginger is obviously there. The ginger brings a pleasant bite to the scent and smells almost green in a way. I can't pick out the red musk and tea on their own, but they bring a certain depth to the orange. For citrus fans who like ginger for sure.

Pink Peach, Grapefruit, Yuzu, & Pink Musk

On me, it's almost equal parts citrus (grapefruit and yuzu) and peach. The peach rounds out the sharpness of the grapefruit. Very fruity and bright. -
Mint creme, light, sugary, and very minty. A very foodie mint scent. I'm smelling the barest hint of the lemongrass, but get none of the blueberry or tangerine. Overall, pretty and almost winter holiday like scent, but I wish it wasn't so dominated by mint.

Psalm 146:9

I get a lot of labdanum at first. It takes a while, but the vetiver does start to come out more and more. For me, starts off as a labdanum scent, ends as a vetiver scent. I don't get any cacao or vanilla, though I do suspect it helps to mellow out the scent. -
I get pure lemongrass. It's that sweet-citrus scent I associate with lemongrass. Very strong and great throw. I do not get tonka at all. To me it's like I stuck my face in a jar of lemongrass tea. I love citrus so I do enjoy this one, just wish it was more complex.

This is pure strawberry on me. I cannot pick out the rosebud, but the scent has a certain roundness to it that I imagine comes from the rose. Unfortunately, strawberry has a tendency to smell fake and shampoo like for me and this is no exception. I was really hoping this would be more of a rose-strawberry partnership, but I imagine strawberry lovers will like it.

This is pretty much pure coconut on me. The coconut is more on the meaty side and has a woodsy musk to it (I'm guessing that's both the black musk and bark). I'm imagining a coconut that just fell off the tree.

A sweet, airy scent. I definitely get vanilla, not so much the incense part, and it's a very sweet, airy vanilla, without being light, if that makes sense. I get more bergamot than lemon, but it's definitely citrus. Overall, a sweet and well rounded blend of vanilla and bergamot.
