I think this is what I wanted Agape to smell like. Sweet and summery, I get predominantly melon, as well as what I think is the lychee and vanilla. We've got a bunch of rainy days ahead, so this will be a good way to bring some sunshine in

Wet, in bottle: passionfruit, bubble gum, and strawberries and cream. Dry: vanilla with a little fruit in the bg. Overall its very, very sweet (about the same as Pink Phoenix) but nice.

At first its kind of powdery, which I don't like, but that mellows a bit. Very pretty, even though its probably my least favorite of the three

I don't get any myrrh from this, which is cool because I don't like myrrh. Tart and sweet, and very well blended. I get a TON of currants from this, and I guess the rhubarb is what makes it tart? I like it.

Ahhhh this is pretty! I love frankincense, some musks, and currants, and this is quite lovely. It's pretty soft, and a little creamy I guess? Not as in "cream" but like... smooth. It all blends together well.

Bottle: spicy and musky. Mmm red musk. Wet: Leather! And that lovely red musk thats in Mme Moriarty. This could be like, her lover. Aside from the Krampus being a scary Christmasy goblin dude. This is if Krampus had a dark, handsome, suave manly man human form. Dry: Dusty leather and red musk, with a bit of soft woods. Throw: I'm not really a slatherer, but I put a bit on my wrists and its wafting up, so it's pretty strong. I don't think theres a mild form of red musk... Overall: I bought this because I heard its like Spanked Lite (and Spanked is impossible to find and I want to try it) and this is what I was hoping Spanked smells like, and it's awesome. Certainly not an everday scent, but it would be just as nice as an out on the prowl scent as it would a stay home wrapped in a blanket and the warm rich smell of leather and wood kind of scent.

CCCLXV: Death Adder Lite? I think it might be black coconut or something. I like this a lot, wish I didn't have only an imp. CCCLV: Hmmm... I honestly have no idea! It's definitely a warm, slightly spicy scent though. Sandalwood? Maybe some herbs?

I'm so bad at detecting notes. Dorian CLXIX: I can barely smell the Dorian- there's something in here I swear I've smelled before. It started off a bit cocoa or molassesy, and then just kinda faded into this sweet autumnal scent. Not bad.

I'm trying to find something for my friend who wants something like Imari by Avon- topnotes: Aldehydes, Bergamot, Galbanum middlenotes: Muguet, Ylang-Ylang, Orris, Tuberose basenotes: Musk, Vanilla, Sandal, Cedar, Amber Thank you!

Ooooh this is great! I have to do a graphic design project where we organize something we have 100 of (in my case, BPAL), then make a bunch of variables and categories- whether or not something ages well is a great category! So thanks for unintentionally inspiring me and helping my project

MCCXXVII- Previously described as: "In bottle rum like...dried wheat fields Application-This one goes on like a dried fall field.I get a slight grain like note.After time I almost get like a hint of dried grape vines with a hint of wine...resin and that dried grain field scent.I can also get a hint of dried grass...slightly sweet but dry and fall like.." In bottle: There's a slightly wine-like scent, with the wheaty grassy smell. Wet on skin: Uh oh. Lemon. Like lemon cleaner and fruitloops. Dry: kind of winey-molassesy, and still lemon. The wheaty smell is still hiding there, but I'm amping the lemon (lemongrass? verbena? plain old lemon?) quite a bit. Unfortunately, lemon is one of my least favorite notes. Ever. Almost more than jasmine. Le sigh.

I too was a bit confused by the almondy-ness of this, but I guess thats the tonka. Very strong tonka, with a bit of steamy leather hiding in the background, and a wee bit of spice from the Snake Oil- this is awesome.

The website IS big and scary... thats half the fun! Spending several hours looking through categories and picking out what you want. Thats how I did it, and then I converted my roommate and thats how she did it Hrm, Amazon is one of the few sites my mum doesn't mind ordering from (very paranoid about online shopping). CHRISTMAS PRESENTS! It's very cool to know that they are on Amazon now.

This thread has inspired me to go hunt down some empty bottles to decorate my apartment with!

Ooooh, I like this. Wet, it smells like red velvet cake thats just out of the oven and smothered in buttercream frosting. Homemade buttacream frosting. And maybe some fruit? Dry, it's red velvet cake, with the scent of some kind of fruity cake hiding in the background. Yum!
