Not like I'm saying much that hasn't already been said, but ... cinnamon and floral (dragon's blood, most likely). I saw a description somewhere of "Wrath lite--cinnamon and creamy floral" and I totally agree.
-
Sex in a bottle. Fabulously moisturizing and smells of aged Snake Oil. However, my husband smelled cedar predominantly on me, so it may amp of certain notes/smell different to others. I would love to roll in this, please.

O is terrible on me but this is super-sexy. It's sweet and light honey. It actually smells exactly like Demeter's Honey perfume on me but with much better lasting power. If you can't wear O, try this!
-
This is the scent where XCDL13 and Stimulating Sassafras Strengthener had a baby. However, it doesn't last nearly as long as either of those do on me. It's sad because it's a beautiful scent. Oh well, I'll just have to reapply!
-
Yep, the champagne note from the Champagne and ... blends.
-
This smells a lot like something I have smelled before and just can't put my finger on! It's not strawberry on me at all, nor does it come across very pink. It's more peach-like than anything. The best I can think is that it's like Josie without magnolia.
I figured it out: It smells a *lot* like Pediophobia!
-
Super-interesting--very lemony, citrusy. Dries down kind of like you washed your hands with lemon-scented soap, though.

Sadness. I wanted to like this so much. When I put it on, I can really smell the smoky sweetness of the vanilla but the lilac is overpowering. It's one of those weird scents where I don't like it, but I can't stop sniffing it. If this had been just the smoky vanilla with a lot less lilac, it would have been fantastic!

At first I was super-excited about this one. I love anise and licorice and hoped this would be similar to Humbug. I think the florals screwed this one up for me, though. I put it on and the licorice was prominent--yay!--than all of the sudden, the florals amped up, drowned out the licorice, and it was floral doom

Huh. I get flowers growing in compost with the slightest tinge of manure. Seriously. Gardenias with a hint of manure underneath. Weird.
-
Wine and vetiver. And then it's gone within a minute?! No lasting power.
-
Whooooo ... it's the booze from Imp of the Perverse tempered with chocolate!
-
Basically this just smelled like a fruit-scented plastic doll from the 80s on me ... I used to have these dolls called Charmkins and this smells like one of those. It's gone from my skin in about 30 seconds, too!
-
No chocolate. I smell the lime note from Scurvy, like others have said. It's nice ... and then the scent is gone! So it's just like Scurvy on me with about 50% less lasting power
-
Not exactly like, but in a very close family to, LUSH's American Cream (which has benzoin and vanilla in it). This would make a nice layering note with American Cream.
-
I guess I have an unsophisticated nose because it smells just like last year's White Chocolate and Strawberry on me (which I love). I'm not picking up the pepper at all.
-
All this smells like to me is the cubeb (lemony) note from Crib Girls. No tea, no matcha, no chocolate. It's pretty, but it's also a dead ringer for Crib Girls on my skin.
-
The label on this one is adorable The scent is fairly consistent on me--warmed grass (kind of the like the grass note from A Blade of Grass, only lighter) and flowers, but not uber-heavy flowers--just like the faintest hint of flowers. It's a light, springtime scent.
-
I had the exact same experience as a reviewer upthread--pickles! It wasn't very pleasant. I love Samhain and cinnamon sugar, but I never really got either of those--just a sour tang I found pretty bleh
-
My grandma's perfume and mint. Bleah
-
I think I like this better than the released version, though I like that one too, simply because it helps me sleep better! It's probably because of the heavier lavender in it. It smells much more like a lavender herbal sleep remedy than a sweet perfume (like the regular TKO does to me). I like both, but if you want something that will really help you sleep and lavender does it, then this is the blend for you!

I used to use Fresh's sugar cubes in my bath. I love the Lemon Sugar scent that Fresh puts out. Well, Crib Girls smells a lot like that to me. It's the cubeb, which is also a note in the Fresh fragrance. It's tart, lemony, and fresh. I don't smell the honey very much and that is okay by me. Yay for cubeb!
-
Wild plum, pomegranate, raspberry, Siamese benzoin, plum blossom, patchouli, frankincense, and mahogany.
This has aged into mostly patchouli on my skin, but a dusty, deep patchouli. It smells like a dusty incense at a new age shop. Very little plum left, not fruity at all. -
At first I kind of liked this. The chocolate came to the forefront and it played nicely. But then the aquatics crept forward and I can't do aquatics. So sadly the chocolate moved to the back, the aquatic moved to the front, and I ended up not liking it that much.

Like others noted, this was men's cologne on me
