My decanter left a sniffle of this *enabler* *cough*. It is lovely and I never would have tried it from the notes. It’s green and fresh, reminds me of something, maybe Habu, though not quite. Maybe a fancy high end perfume, but better. It would be a lovely lotion scent. I may get a surprise bottle😳

Eergh, I thought this would be a no brainer, unfortunately it’s too nutty for me. (Images of Austin Powers are coming to my head) 😆. Not really getting marzipan, but almonds (duh), but I’ve had blends where the marzipan is sweet and cherry like. Not for me, but glad to try.

This one is definitely heavy on the florals, but that’s OK I’m into that right now. Definitely gardenia and the honeysuckle is dominant on me, and I would say somewhat soapy. Again, not bothering me as this heat wave here makes me want to smell at least somewhat clean. I like it, it reminds me of my mom, it’s something she would like, especially with the gardenia.

I am an orange blossom fiend, it usually smells fantastic on me. Ginger is also a favourite, so this was a no brainer. There’s the orange blossom, and something herbal and pungent. The off note goes away, and all I really get is the orange blossom, which is fine with me. This really smells like a lotion rather than a perfume, but that’s fine with me, I’ll keep the decant.

Voluptuous, red spicy blend, similar to the likes of Mme Moriarty, Shadow in the Elevator, you get the picture. I generally love these types of oils, but this is too much, even for me. A little goes a long way, so I’m glad I have an imp, and may consider a partial if one should come hopping my way. This kind of reminds me of Diors Poison, but better and with more spice. It has that feel of a high end, night in the town type of perfume.

I actually used to layer Snake Oil and Smut from a suggestion from one of the lovely bpalers, back in the day. Evanescence, I believe, you still out there?😀. Anyhoo, this is a bit different from my concoction, very sexy, spicy, and more fresh than my ancient oldies. I really do love this, and will pick up a bottle at some point soon. It will age magnificently ima sure💗

This should work on me, but it doesn’t. I believe it’s that pesky white chocolate note that gives this an artificial, nutty vibe to it. Maybe it will settle down, and even in the background ruins it for me.

Very realistic peach, white peach tbh. Nothing else really comes out, so would be good for layering. I’m in to fruity scents right now, so this fits the bill.

Creamy rose floral, like a lotion used over soapy skin. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not really my style. I'm glad I didn't get a reaction, maybe my allergies are subsiding.

I was expecting more citrus, but this one is more fougere on me. It smells clean, with an effervescent-ness to it. This would be a good smell in a spa.

I only used a tiny drop on my wrist, as vanillas don't tend to agree with me these days. Even the tiny drop, signals FLORALS, and not really the gardenia that I know and love from the real deal. It's pretty close, though, and reminds me of my mom, who loves this kind of scent. This will be nice for spring, if we ever get one with the 10 feet high snow piles.

I've developed food and inhaled allergies over the past year, and I'm finally brave enough to test florals and fruits (I can't seem to tolerate anything else atm). Well looks like violet is OK for me, I love violet, and this does not disappoint. It's not 'old lady' at all, sophisticated, somewhat dry and very springlike. I like this and happy I can wear at least something!

I wanted to love this, but it ends up being a masculine forward blend on me. I get all the notes, but I think if the sugar cane came out more, this would be more wearable to me. I'll give it a bit of time.

This should be great. It has all the notes, but falls flat from the get go. The honey dominates from start to finish on me with a touch of (not so pleasant) rosewater. This is the kind of scent that would mask BO, it just reminds me of that for some reason. I think I'll try this in a few days, my hormones may be the culprit here. I hope.

I have a soft spot for old dogs, so I went straight to bottle. It's very fruity at first, which I'm assuming is the fig, after a bit, the clove ends up being the star. I guess I amp clove, which is alright sometimes, but I really wanted the other notes to come through more. Hopefully with some age, this will happen. Now I am missing my old girl, great memories.
