Very floral forward, but strong on me and a bit sour.  I like my florals mild, sugary and sweet, so this one is not sitting well right now..  it reminds me of an old fashioned Avon scent, somehow.  Fun to try, but not for me right now.

I am so glad this doesn’t smell like pickles 😆.  It’s all about the lemon, and other things, but I can’t distinguish what, it is so well blended.  I love citrus blends, and this one smells like a high end spa.💕💕

Honey, tea and  Amish mash of some florals.  This one is a bit too sharp for me.

I’m getting mostly tea at first, then dries to a soft floral,  huh?  I don’t get the apricot at all.

Oh yeah!  Classic, unique Bpal.  I do have go Satyr, and love it, but it’s a bit masculine for me.  This is perfection.  Musky sweetness, bit animalistic, If it’s this awesome now, I can’t wait until there’s some age behind this beauty.  💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Ugh this is mostly a non descript amber on me.  I’ll hang on a bit, but I was hoping for more of the other notes to shine.  *pouts*. I’ll hang on to it and see where this goes over the next few months.

Lots of milk in this snake at first.  I’m also getting the bite of fresh snake oil.  I’m not a huge milky perfume fan, but I’m betting this will age fabulously.  There’s not a speck of sugar here, but again, maybe it will come later.  I’ve never met a snekk that I didn’t like so off to the cellar with ya for a year or two.😆

This is so awesomely in the bottle, yummy marzipan, which I love to eat on cakes at a particular bakery I buy from as a treat.  On the skin, in turns a bit dusty, but not for long.  This one has a creamy aspect to it.  I thought the dust was going to ruin it for me, but it appears to be gone, thank goodness.  Still, I wish it had stayed like the marzipan I initially smelled.  It’s more toasty almond in the end.

Warm vanilla, and soft fluffy marshmallows .  There is a clear crystal vibe as mentioned above the thread.   It is kind of like Moonstone, but better IMO.

Very nice fall scent.  Musky vanilla, not getting any pumpkin.  I do have an imp of Storyville somewhere 😬, but from what I remember, this is pretty darned close.  I’m sure with some aging it’ll be even closer.

Very pretty.  I’m getting ambergris and what smells like driftwood.  I miss my ambergris SN, so it’s nice to smell it again.  It fades really quickly, though and probably needs to be slathered, which I’m a bit hesitant due to allergies popping up here and there.

Omg I love this one!  Spicy red musk patchouli, which is very reminiscent of Mme Moriarty, but spicier and there’s a ‘dirty’ vibe, probably from the vertiver.  I really like this, and may upgrade, it’s different enough from Mme, like the slutty half sister perhaps.  😆 

This may be one of the loveliest perfume I own, and that says a lot. I am getting a lace vibe, along with lovely wood note reminiscent of  Tombstone.  There is a good dose of vanilla, and all together comes to be a very sophisticated, warm blend.  This would remind me of an old house with a lot of wood in it and an airy breeze coming from fields and a woodland forest not far away.  I would love to smell this on a guy.

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!
