All I get is powdery floral. Nice but not to die for.

I am vetiver. Hear me roar.

My first impression after applying a bit to my wrist? Dog. It smells like dog. Drydown thankfully gets rid of the dog smell and in its place is something that reminds me of an old candy called Bit o Honey. I don't get coffee.

Not unpleasant but not what I want to smell like either.

Clovity MacCloverson!! This is clove spice at its pinnacle. All clove all the time!

 

Fortunately, I like clove. WOW, this is a tad strong too. If I am not careful, someone's going to try to stick me head first into an orange.

This is just vile. It is super sweet but there's a very sour smell in the background. It gets very peppery and then I smell grease, and this happens all the while that super sweet rot-your-teeth candy dances about. And then, there's tobacco.

The combination of notes is freaking me out just a bit. I'm expecting someone to whisper "We all float down here."

What a neat scent! It scared me at first because it was extremely tart. It quickly morphed to a sweet incense. Very nice.

WHOA. On application, this is manly men's cologne. I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK...

When it dries down, it keeps the masculine edge but the fruit comes out in the aftersniff. I do like this, but I might attempt to spill some on some of my favorite guys and see how they like it.

This blend is going to be another "Nope" scent for me. It starts out as a blast of pineapple and quickly fades to something strangely powdery and floral. I had such high hopes too because of the initial zing. Oh well... on to the next Velvet...

What a wonderful scent. I thought I detected sweet frankincense and nothing else. Then suddenly I got a little earth from the pu-erh. Next I smelled mint. Now, it's dried to lime and a touch of sage.

 

It is fresh and lovely. It goes through a definite masculine phase but I think I can wear it nicely.

 

ETA: I am now picking up... pineapple?? And Bay rum??? I think I'm in love.

I have to agree with the posters who got soap. That's all the Nudie was to me too. It faded quickly as well.

Starts out as coconut sprinkled with wood shavings and quickly dries to what reminds me of Play Doh. Blecch.

This is sweet initially but dries down with a touch of sandalwood in the background. Nicely balanced.

This is a soft floral. Not overly sweet or cloying. Not pungent or too green. Just a nice basic unobtrusively pleasant floral.

OMG this is just gorgeous!! Carnation is riding on top of a beautiful resinous wave. I think I have a new favorite.

I rather expected Lilith to be a bit more sinister. She is all sweet rose, reminiscent of Bess. I get no wine at all.

This scent is earth. Dirt and pine trees and moss. It has a perverse sweetness, near cloying.

Smoked pepper is the strongman here. The chocolate and caramel are being held hostage in another room.

 

Terrible waste of good chocolate...

Freshly turned earth- rich and loamy. That's it.

Pineapple upside down cake is what I get. The pineapple is very strong and dominates the scent.

Weirdly, I detect something almost medicinally menthol-like on application. I definitely get myrtle (or some kind of green/wood something) and the carnation is on the outer edge. It's nice but it is very different from any other scent I've tried.

Soft powdery floral. A very benign scent. Pleasant and unassuming.

No ozone. No wolf. Just musk. And I like it that way.

Yes indeed, this one morphs up purty.

 

Starts out as cocoa and evolves to a soft but potent blend of patchouli and incense. Neither overpowers the other and the end result is lovely. I think that this might become a favorite. Thank BOB it's GC.

I have 2 imps of this blend. One is clear and the other is slightly yellow.

 

One smells like jasmine. The other, like soap and herbs. I layered them.

 

Together, they smelled like jasmine after a rain. Pretty.
