On the skin: Musky rose with hint of woods? Interesting! It is a very pretty scent! It does go a bit powdery, but I like this powdery rose much better than rampaging super fragrant rose.

On the skin: Mostly smooth florals. Not too high pitched at all! This is a very warm scent. Makes me think I am in a flower garden. This is a very happy and girly scent! Not bad at all, but not something I would wear too often. I would rather go to L'inverno for my stargazer lily needs!

On the skin: At first I am getting a hint of mint with a sour that must be lime as well as an overall aquatic feel. After a bit the sour fades and it is pretty much aquatic with a hint of mint. The mint never overpowers this blend on me. It is pleasant, but not the kind of scent I would wear often.

I remember smelling this one at the trunk show, but I was too far back in line to pick up a bottle. Managed to acquire one now, but it is not at all what I remember. I get a bit of cake, but mostly it is full of floral. Not the nice happy floral... This is screeching headache floral. At least on me. *sigh* It smelled so good when I sniffed it a long time ago...

Wow, this is definitely sweet tea. Sweet iced tea. Veeeeery strong. Doesn't change at all for me from application to dry down. I am afraid that the strength of it is making me a bit sick.... *sigh* Not for me.

Hmmmm, on me I am mostly getting a soft, fluffy clove that doesn't change much from application to dry down. It's not bad, but not what I was expecting at all. I think I am going to have to retest this one in a week or so to see if anything has changed.

386 You know, this one is really interesting! At first it is a smooth christmas tree scent with vanilla. Sounds strange, but I smelled it and it instantly made me think of Christmas time. Soooooo comforting and happy! On the dry down the christmas tree part fades a bit and it is mostly smooth vanilla with hint of christmas tree. I think there is also a bit of spice here. Just an overall Christmasy scent that is really pretty! I am not sure how I feel about this. I really like the smell, but I am not sure if I will wear it often.

Sweet and creamy with a hint of sour. Not too bad, but not for me. I think it is the slight sour hint that is throwing me off. Interesting blend though.

The smell of smashed gourds and seventeen-thousand football-frenzied ghouls tanked up on Kadathian Spiced Black Tar Cacao Lager. Lets see.... I smell chocolate, hint of some kind of pepper/spice, and something slightly boozy. If this was a baked good, I would be scarfing it down right about now! Quite a bit of throw! Wow! Nice blend and definitely my favorite of the Underworld blends!

Woodsy and herbally oranges with a hint of something that reminds me of cat food. I know that sounds strange, but it actually isn't bad! Well, on my skin the oranges and woods fade really quickly and I am left with herbally catfood. Why me? It smelled quite interesting in the bottle, but icky on me. *sigh*

Oooh, dark and fruity. Makes me think of sangria. Not too bad! Argh! *kicks stupid skin chemistry* Cough syrup? Why? It smelled so good before it touched my skin....

Let's see.... definitely berries of some kind. Sadly they turn to cough syrup on my skin. Must be some sort of cherry or grape? Well, on me this is only sickly sweet cough syrup. *sigh*

Hmmmm, for this one I think I am mostly getting tobacco leaf, roses, and a bit of something else. Kinda faintly pretty. Soapish? *sigh* I was hoping for a bit more vanilla in this one. It is very pretty, but not my type of scent. It just would not be used here, so off to swaps.

I seriously love this one even though it should not work on me. I get very little earthiness from the vetiver and little lavender. Mostly I think I smell the sandalwood, but that is alright with me! I also get a bit of the blood musk which smells similar to dragon's blood to me, but thankfully it does not turn into suntan lotion! Everything together is smooth and has great depth. It has the same feel as Snake Oil and Lilith Victoria, but is definitely a completely different scent.

On the skin: Mostly getting a floral note which I assume is the jasmine. Wow, this is strong! Not bad at all, but not something I would wear normally...

On the skin: Kind of sweet. Opium and floral? Kind of hard to tell. I can barely smell it... Starting to smell a bit like sweet tarts and floral. -ETA- The ultra dry down phase is actually kinda nice. More vanillaish. I think I might keep this one around a bit longer to test again... I guess this one really isn't for me. It has little throw, and what I can smell doesn't wow me....

Wow. Very sugary. Reminds me a bit of Signior Dildo I believe. Must be the orris? It is starting to smell strangely lemony. A very sugary lemon with a hint of something dusty (I think this is the orris). Really not for me.

This one is amazingly sweet on me. Mostly the amaretto and plum combination. It can be so sickeningly sweet, that a dab is preferable to slathering! With a dab, this scent is really nice!

What?? I never reviewed this?? In the bottle: Sweetness as well as a slightly incensey scent. Must be the patchouli. On the skin: Mmmmmmmm! The slightly incensey/ever so slightly earthiness of patchouli with yummy sweetness layered on top. This scent just gets better as it dries! The patchouli fades and I get an amazing vanilla sweetness that is just astounding! There are times that I just seriously love my skin chemistry. And my 1 year old bottle of course!

King mandarin, red ginger, sugar cane, golden amber, mango, and pumpkin. On the skin: Mmmmm! Pumpkin and orange! Wow, I like this one! Except for the pumpkin, this reminds me a bit of Two Loves (I believe?) Will have to retest, but I think this one is a keeper as well!

In the bottle: The apricot in here smells amazing!! Like eating a real apricot. Oh, please may the vetiver not take over too much! On the skin: Argh! I get very little apricot!! And then.... magically it appears! Yay! It smells a bit like apricots in dirt! Hmmmm, don't normally like dirt, but this isn't so bad. Will have to retest!

On the skin: This one is kind of... astringent on me. Whoa! I immediately get a huge whiff of coconut. Ouch. Coconut is not one of my favorite smells. Eeep. This really hurts my nose. Not for me at all. -ETA- Okay, I have to admit... My prejudice against coconut made me dismiss this scent almost immediately after I identified it. I actually tried it again and the coconut is quite amazing. Unlike other blends, this coconut does not turn into suntan lotion! It is a nice coconut with a bit of sugariness on top. Overall, quite nice!

On the skin: Watermelon Jolly Ranchers! That is exactly what this blend reminds me of! Wow, I really want some now. After a bit, it still smells like watermelon jolly ranchers, but I am also picking up a hint of floral. Huh. Not bad by any means, but I don't see myself wearing this one too often.

On the skin: Pear and lime. Not a combo I would normally go for, but it is interesting! The lime overwhelms after a bit. Sadly the lime in this blend is strange and candy-like on my skin. With a hint of bitterness? Not for me.

On the skin: A light vanilla or tonka with a hint of cardamom. This scent is quite faint on me... Might need some aging? It smells really good, but so faint.... Will need to test again! -ETA- Testing this one again, and I don't think it is going to stick around in my collection. This is a very dusty, slightly vanilla, spice scent. While that sounds good written on paper, the reality is.... the dust is not very pretty. It smells like an old house where I just dropped something behind the dusty television and need to retrieve it. Not good at all.
