Interesting! Not too sweet or foody.
-
I got this as a frimp- I thought it might be okay on me because of the nice non-floral notes, but this was all ROSE on me and I HATE rose. So, if you like roses you should try this one
-
I really wanted the orange blossom, but all I'm getting is the apricot. This smells like March Hare without the spice. I like the spice- I find this too one-dimensional.
-
I didn't think that I would like this- but I do! I usually hate florals of any kind, but this is lovely banana-floral! Not as heady as I feared either. A light summer-y not-old-lady-ish scent.
-
Um, this smells like light flowers on me... no pine or sharpness or anything
-
On me this one is sweet, fruity and lovely. I prefer heavier less-ladylike scents, but if this one sounds good to you, you'll probably like it!
-
I got my hands on an imp of this- and I'm so glad that it smells pretty much like Penitence (GC) because now I don't have to go hunting for more of MM. It's a little stronger and sweeter than Penitence, but I don't like the added sweetness.

Best BPALs for SUMMER - is it hot, sweltering, sticky outside?

Kumiho! -
I love this blend!! Even though I usually find blends too sweet, this one is just right. A bit sweet, a bit nutty, warm, calming, beautiful.
-
I love dark, resin-y blends so I gave this a try- but on me the dragon's blood amps on me and smells way too sweet and overpowers the other notes. This smells almost exactly like Red Moon on me, not like Minotaur
-
Have you tried March Hare? It's fruity but clove-y too.
-
This scent is full of glorious amber. It also contains a floral element. On me, the floral is as strong as the amber. The floral makes the scent perfumey and pretty, which is not my style. I have a feeling The Lion is more my amber style. To the swaplist this goes!
-
I really wanted to like this one because I like Snake Oil and I lOVE frankincense, but this just smells like an even sweeter Snake Oil, which is a bit much for me.

Very spicy and yummy! (will continue review after re-testing)
-
This blend is everything that I hoped for! The sandalwood was very prominent at first, which was okay, but I realized that the blend had separated - once mixed the resins come out and the blend is totally swoon-worthy! Not too sweet, or too dark. A perfect insence scent for daily wear.
-
I really wanted to like Al-Azif because I am a huge resins/insense fan. Yet, for some reason I don't like Al-Azif at all! I think it is because it is so sweet, and because there is a touch of floral in it. There is something that totally throws this one off for me. I agree with the review above- there may be a touch of jasmine in it- because jasmine nauseates me and Al-Azif kind of does too. I've read comparisions to Pit and Pendulum, but I like Pit WAY better.
-
I recommend Baghdad!
-
I love this scent! It is perfect for summer. It starts off sharp like Kumiho (which I also love) and dries into a softer, sweeter, lightly floral loveliness.
-
I really like this one! I don't find the apricot scent to be fake or plastic-y as I have found with other fruit scents. It's sweet, juicy apricot with a bit of spice! Yum!!
-
A lethal poison bundled up in a dainty, innocent little package that was oft times found in ancient witches’ flying ointments and astral projection balms. A warm, soft, ruddy scent, earthy and mild. I just put this on and thought "YUM!!". So yeah, it's good. It is some kind of earthy+vanilla+coconut+love or something, and yet not too foody.
-
When I smelled Salome, the first thing I thought was that it was a grandma scent. Totally not my thing. You might like it
-
Now that I've read this all I smell is root beer when I first put on Penitence, but that isn't a bad thing! I agree also that it is a 'lively' blend- I was expecting the opposite, for some reason. It does calm down into a more warm scent, which is lovely as well. I am very, very, pleasantly surprised with this one!
-
In the imp it smells like fresh berries, but on my skin it smells like old, dusty berries - not good! Luckily it fades very quickly! Berry smells often smell too childish to me, so I thought I might like this one because it is "dark"- but it left me missing the bright fruity scents!
-
I LOVE this scent!!! It is warm and creamy orange-blossom perfection. Not too spicy, not too fruity.
-
I agree! Actually it smells like a My Little Pony that I had that was cherry scented. I bought Vice because of all the good reviews, but on me it smelled like cheap plastic-y chocolate and cherry.
