This has less peach than I was expecting and I think that was a good choice. Instead of having the peach note be the highlight, it is nicely blended together. To me this smells golden with a stripe of green. Kinda woodsy with musk and only a hint of peach.
I almost wish there was a bit more peach in here. A perfumey scent and pleasant, but I'm not sure if it is for me.
-
A very clean/ozone scent. Just stepped out of the shower scent.
Not for me, but on the right guy this could be heavenly.
-
Smells like crystalline musk, violet, and a hint of vanilla to me. A very effervescent, pretty scent.
The airy quality to this fades a little after awhile and from then on it is violets and vanilla. Not bad, but not me.
-
This scent is more on the cologne side than I'd like. Not for me, but I bet it would smell amazing on the right man.
-
This scent makes me think of honeyed cola. Huh. Definitely not what I was expecting.
After a bit this scent turns bubblegum sweet on my skin. Weird? Not for me.
-
Definitely ginger and clove in this one.
It is so spicy that it immediately makes me think of gingerbread. A slightly woody/smoky gingerbread? This is the perfect autumn/winter scent. All spicy goodness! I think this one is going to stick around in my collection for awhile.
-
Lovely! I get a lot of rich vanilla, peach blossom and a slight melange of other florals. Really, this is a very tasty scent.
As time goes on the amber in this scent really blooms. Even better! I definitely smell the resemblance to Haloes, but I think I like that one a bit better. This is a very lovely scent and I like it, but I don't think it is in my top ten.
-
Should be interesting!
On the skin: Kinda light on me, but I do detect a slightly woodsy vanilla. Reminds me of the Antikythera Mechanism. A lot! It's really nice and pretty, but it's not the scent for me.
-
I never wrote a review for this one? Weird!
On the skin: I get mostly oak, tonka, vanilla, and a tinge of lovely white florals. Very pretty. It's a bit strange though... I think this scent is trying to turn slightly plasticky on me. *sad face* I remember this one smelling so nice on me! It used to be one of my favorites, but now it just doesn't seem to work.

2005 version:
On the skin: One of the best ambers I have smelled! This is an amber with a slight coolness running through it. Sweet and golden. LOVE IT!
2011 version:
Smells similar to the '05 version. (duh!) In fact, to my nose they smell pretty identical. The only difference I can tell at the moment is that the '11 version is a little stronger. I do think I like the '11 version a bit better.
-
On the skin: Orchid! I recognize this from Great Vampire bat, only this one is not surrounded with incense. Instead this orchid is paired with a light vanilla and creamy musk. A very light scent on me. Starts off slightly plasticky at first, but that seems to fade pretty quickly.
It's a pretty scent, but I just don't think it is for me.
-
Strangely, I am getting a musky orange creamsicle vibe from this one. Was not expecting that at all. Definitely smells musky, light orange, and vanilla on me. Huh.
This is really good! Kind of a light scent, but I really like the feel of this one. Kind of summery.

On the skin: An airy floral. Very breezy and pretty. Slightly sweet as well and pleasant. I could see this one making a very pretty bridal scent. This one seems similar to Joyful Moon without the vanilla.
Not for me, but very pretty.
-
On the skin: Sweet berry with a hint of tartness, a tiny bit of greenness, and rose. This is actually very pleasant. I could definitely see a similarity between this one and Moon of Horses.
Pleasant, but not for me.
-
On the skin: An herbal scent. This one kinda hurts my nose. I think the lemongrass is the main offender. Really, all I can smell are the herbal notes and nothing more.
-
On the skin: Gummy bears?! This really smells like gummy bears to me! Huh, must be a grape note in there. After a bit, it does smell like a grape candy incense.
Yup. Grape candy incense.
Not for me, but it is definitely an interesting one!
-
Egyptian amber, mandarin, tangerine, black pepper, tobacco, and vetiver.On the skin: Amber and mandarin! A smooth sexy orange! I can also detect a trace of spiciness in there. Thankfully I don't smell any of the vetiver. I want to say that in a way this reminds me of Cabaret.Goth. I'll need to test them side by side one of these days.
This one is really nice now, but I think it will be even better after a month or so.
-ETA- Just not for me. All the notes in this one are just a bit too high pitch for me if that makes any sense. I like blends that are a bit deeper. -
On the skin: Minty fresh with a slight bubblegum feel. This might sound silly, but it smells exactly like this toothpaste I used to have when I was little. A minty bubblegum toothpaste.
After a bit I can pick out more of the lemon and herbal absinthe. The minty bubblegum feel is still there, but the other notes are starting to peak out.
Not for me, but I am very entertained...
-
This, on first sniff, actually reminds me a bit of TKO. Similar vanilla feel with possibly a hint of lavender. There is a tiny bit of spiciness and a slight sourness too.
I think I am going to stick with my TKO. This is nice, but I definitely like TKO better!
-
On the skin: A very soft scent! Fresh green leaves with a hint of rose and some soft musk. Such a soft scent. There is no power to this one at all, so I could definitely see this pretty one being worn around an office or workspace.
I take that back. The rose is suddenly becoming very very strong. Not really a bad thing since this is a lovely rose, but I definitely wish I could smell more of the other notes.
Not for me.
-
On me this is all lily all the time. Sadly, the only lily that seems to agree with my nose is Stargazer lily. I do get a hint of purple fruits and a slight powdery sweetness as well.
This one is lovely, but it isn't for me.
-
I am kinda bummed by this one.
All I get from this blend is a splash of florals, slightly bitter sandalwood, and a hint of patchouli. Where's the vanilla and caramel? I'm tempted to keep this one around a bit to see if the other notes pop out later.
-
Definitely interesting!
I've never smelled actual India Ink before, so I'm afraid I can't compare.
As for this, I get a slightly herbal/inky scent. I do get some resins later on with a hint of licorice and paper? Not for me, but I was definitely grateful for the chance to try it!
-
On the skin: Woodsy and spicy! Not getting much sweetness with this one. It's kind of hard for me to pick out individual notes, but I believe I can smell the myrrh, cypress, and some muskiness.
I think I'll need to retest this one since it hasn't had a full 24 hrs to sit after arriving in the mail.

Oooh! This one is good! I definitely smell the peach in this one. Kind of a breezy peach with a dollop of honey and lots of musk. This scent has a very airy quality to it that I associate with musk. I like this one!
The tobacco shows up after a bit and now I'm not so sure I like it. Tobacco tends to go a little weird on me.
