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.

Champagne and lemon-lime candy. Very bubbly and it smells more and more like a lemon drop as the scent wears.

Starts off as straight cherry hard candy. As it wears, I get more and more rose, but the sugary, cherry flavored candy still dominates. On me, this smells very close to Rose Jam from Lush.

Straight molasses cookies on me. Very foodie, slightly buttery and the sugar is balanced out nicely by the spice of the molasses.

Sugary mint candy. Not the after dinner mints, but rather a sugary, hard candy frosted with mint. I do not get apple at all. I do like that the amount of sugar takes the scent into candy territory and away from a more musky mint scent, but you still have to really like mint to like this scent (IMO).

Lemon balm dominates this scent on me, with juniper playing a supporting role. The juniper takes it away from being medicinal, while the lemon keeps it from being particularly woodsy. A pretty unique mix of bright lemon, slightly earthy and spicy balm, with some fresh cut wood. Like if Home Depot had a lemon balm isle and the lumper isle was a few down, but elevated into a perfume.

Coconut, followed by ginger, with a little bit of tea in the background. More of a beachy coconut and the ginger is present, but playing a supporting role. Pretty tropical with that ginger zing to it. One of my new favorite coconut scents.

Creamy almond milk and beachy coconut. On me, the scent is an equal mix of both, with an extra, slightly spicy musk in the back, which I think is the skin musk part. On the soft side and low throw. As a coconut lover, I like it, but I'm not sure I love it.

Bright grapefruit. Smells like grapefruit juice with a healthy amount of orange juice mixed it. Very bright and on the sweet side on me. As a citrus lover, I'm really enjoying this one.

A strong coconut scent. With the orris, it leans more towards a buttery/coconut meat side of coconut, with almost an earthy quality to it. Definitely not a sweet coconut here.

A clamorous cacophony of obstreperous, rowdy smells: blood orange, lemon peel, sugar syrup, tangerine, pink peppercorn, tuberose, mango, melon, white tea, and gunpowder detonated by napalm accord and a bombastic, fiery scarlet musk. On me, it's a mix of fruits that leans more citrus (orange citrus, I don't smell lemon on me). I can smell the tuberose and the white tea in the background, giving the scent a more floral edge to it. I do not get any of the bomb part of the scent, just orange, mix of other fruits, and some mild florals.
