On the skin: Lots of woods! That is pretty much all I can smell. It is like a piece of new lumber still with a bit of sap scent.

After a bit, I get some honey sweetness, but this is still very heavy in the woods scent.

Sadly not for me. Ah, well.

On the skin: A perfumy/dusty parchment. This really smells like a spritz of alcohol perfume with a bit of dusty book mixed in. Very strong.

Sadly, not for me.

Hmmm, not what I was expecting. Kind of a clovey, almost cold scent. Really weird. It just does not smell good on me.

This one is really pretty. I get quite a bit of the lily and lilac, but they are sweetened a bit with the nectarine and beeswax. Not headachy at all!

Sadly this isn't really my kind of scent though, so off to the swaps!

This one is incredibly musky! Tons and tons of lovely red musk with an ambery floral sweetness to it. I think this is fantastic! Must be all the musk and black orchid!

This one really reminds me of The Girl. A floralish, slightly green vanilla. The Girl may have been a little stronger on the vanilla for me, but they are quite similar. I absolutely love the label!

I think this one is going to stick around for a bit in my collection!

This is kinda.... good! Reminds me of Wood Phoenix? Kind of a smooth, slightly sweet wood scent. Not tree exactly. More like a well worn old wooden desk.

It smells pretty good, but it just isn't for me. For some odd reason, the smell makes me sick after a bit.

Whoa! That is some incredibly dirty patchouli! They weren't kidding! Wow, it smells like being in the soil area of a home and garden store. Sadly I can't smell much else from this one. It is just so dusty and dirty.

This one is quite nutty on me. Normally the smell of hazelnuts or walnuts make me sick, but this isn't quite the same... It kinda smells like a honey, nutty dessert.

This really is my first scent with nuts that I don't absolutely feel sick smelling!

Sadly, I just can't do nuts. I never got sick from this one, but the nuts just overpowered all other notes.

This smells like there should be black musk in here. A powderiness that just doesn't smell good on me with some woodiness.

On the skin: Very pretty! Grapefruit and honey! Can't smell much of anything else. This is actually very nice!

On the skin: Eeeeeep.... I am getting pretty much all dark musk. Powderiness with a bit of herbalness.

Not for me at all.

On the skin: Hmmmm, I can't smell much. It is just so musky and elusive. Kinda sour too. Almost a sour lime musk.

Definitely not for me.

Vetiver just doesn't work on me normally, so we'll see how this goes.

On the skin: Oh, that is some earthy vetiver. It fades a tiny bit after application and allows me to smell a bit of the snake oil, but not much. I was really hoping the vetiver wouldn't be quite so pronounced.

On the skin: Those are some yummy yummy cupcakes. Oh, wow! After a bit I start getting a hint of cough syrup. *no skin chemistry, no!*

*sigh* I just can't wear this one.

On the skin: Sugar vanilla with an alcohol tinge. Reminds me quite a bit of how black lace started out on me. This scent turns floral really quickly on me. Pretty white floral with that alcohol tinge still.

Just not for me. *sigh*

This is lovely!

On the skin: Slightly green and golden scent. Slightly floral, but it just seems mostly golden to me. Very sad this one was discontinued because it is just very pretty!

Definitely an ambery chocolate. For some odd reason I am getting a bit of an herbal feel from this one... Chocolate amber herbal scent? Makes me think of tea for some reason...

Not for me.

Whoa! This one is awesome! I accidentally spilled a bit of this one on me while decanting and I was happy! It smells like.... musky honey with a bit of sweet orange. Exactly as crebbsgirl said! O plus orange! O isn't one of my favorites, but this one is awesome!

On the skin: Sharp green fir needles. This reminds me almost exactly of the evergreen scent from the Soaring over California Disneyland ride! Wow, I miss Disneyland... After a bit, this scent turns a bit sweeter. Drop of honey? Really interesting.

Definitely keeping this one around!

On the skin: Lovely scent! I can't smell this one when I sniff my arm up close, but I seem to catch the scent better further away. Definitely a white scent. Lovely lovely florals that make me think of high end soap. Beautiful.

On the skin: Sweet scent. Raisins? Why do I think raisins? Or maybe that's cherry.... Either way, it is a dark, sweet fruit with a thick drizzle of sugar sauce. Yes, sugary fruit. That is definitely it.

Not for me.

On the skin: Hello, anise! And almond. Two of my worst enemies. Kinda herby licorice/almond. I knew this one wouldn't turn out well on me, but I had to try it anyways...

On the skin: Definitely a purple slightly sour scent. Very musky.

Not for me at all.

On the skin: Pine needles and cotton candy. Weeeeeird. Kinda a lighter scent than I thought it would be. Pine needles fade pretty quickly and the cotton candy takes over completely. Huh, I might keep this one around for a bit. Not sure if it is really my thing though.
