The bountiful, bright and vivacious prelude to the Harvest. A horde of wet, ripe fruits: green apple, apricot, blackberry, black cherry, black and red currants, cantaloupe, English pear, guava, lemon and lime, orange, mandarin orange, kiwi and mango, passion fruit, papaya, Georgia peach, raspberry, plum, tangerine, pomegranate and strawberry over a luminous blend of lunar oils. I am so bad at picking out notes but here is my best try. Wet on the skin: Guava!!! mango, kiwi, papaya...it is so juicy and smells like a tropical salad. I don't smell the lemon, it actually reminds me of some really fruity tropical drink. Drydown: It keeps the same scent as when I first applied it but it isn't as strong, it has lightened up a little, but still sooo juicy and ripe. Definately a nice summery fragrance. I'm starting to smell a little more of peach, but I would say the dominant notes that come out on my skin are the guave, papaya, mango, and some apricot. This isn't a real citrusy fragrance, I can't smell the lemon or orange at all, it is the tropical fruits that really seem to blossom. Wow can I be any more repetitive? So umm that is all for now because I am horrible at writing reviews!!!!

May marks the apex of the year's fertility, expresses the reawakening of the sexuality of the Earth and her inhabitants, and May's full moon celebrates both the fecundity of the creatures and flora of this world and the vibrancy, rejuvenation and life-affirming energy of Spring. Flower Moon embodies the unrestrained bliss, energy and color of the season: a bouquet of vivid, sexy blooms... tulip, daffodil, violet, dewdrop, rhododendron, iris, daisy, and a mix of California wildflowers. Okay this is prety floral, but there is something else. Almost a citrusy, green crispness. In the bottle it smells pretty floral, almost like ylang-ylang but there is something else there I can't put my name on. There is almost a wet smell to it as it wears down, yes very dewy and floral. Did I mention that it is pretty floral? On the skin it stays pretty strong on me. A little goes a real long way. I like it but don't love it. I think I may end up swapping one of my bottles because I don't think I will get through two of them.

Strength :: Endurance :: The Physical Body Fertility :: Prosperity :: Money :: Solidity Commitment :: Responsibility :: Practicality Wisdom :: Patience :: Perserverance Greed :: Materialism In the bottle: eucalyptus, I'm pretty sure of it. It has almost a menthol scent, but at least I am very awake now. It is very invigorating. Wet on the skin, it is still pretty eucalyptus, this really wakes you up and gets yourt attention drydown there is something in the background that I cannot put my finger on, some really light floral, there almost seems to be a bit of citrus too, but that could be how the eucalyptus works on my skin. After a little while the eucalyptus fades down a but and a nice earthy scent mixes with it, very pretty. A little floral comes out to, did not expect this, it smells lovely. This blend seems pretty energetic to me, also it seems to really bring me awareness and grounds me so my head is not up in the clouds.

May marks the apex of the year's fertility, expresses the reawakening of the sexuality of the Earth and her inhabitants, and May's full moon celebrates both the fecundity of the creatures and flora of this world and the vibrancy, rejuvenation and life-affirming energy of Spring. Milk Moon is Flower Moon's warmer, gentler cousin; it is a scent that emulates the closeness of child and mother. In it, cream and warm honey soften our traditional blend of lunar oils. Wow, am I the first to review this. a little nerve wracking. But I will give it a go. Picked this up today at the Black Broom. this smells absolutely divine!!!! I think I may have found a new favorite!!!! Initially this reminds me a little bit of Spooky. It has a definite creamy sweet scent to it, but it also has these seductive peppermint scent. In the bottle: I can definitely smell peppermint and cream, but the peppermint isn't overpowering. It is there but it complements the cream very well. Wet Skin: It stays pretty true to the bottle but more of the honey sweetness comes out. It wears pretty close to what I smell in the bottle too, 5 minutes after application I can still smell peppermint, cream, and honey. It makes me feel very happy!!! It almost has a sugary scent too, but like I said, it isn't overly sweet. Perfectly balanced. Okay have I repeated myself enough? Can I say again that I am in love with this scent!!!

Purification :: Healing :: Forgiveness The Astral Body :: Emotional Health :: Compassion Dream Work :: Divination :: Imagination :: Friendship Spiritual Growth :: Tranquility :: Tenderness Receptivity :: Creativity :: Illusion In the bottle the dominant note seems to be vetiver, and I wish I was better at detecting exact notes because there is some kind of floral in the backgroud that I can smell. Smells a little watery, maybe lotus? I'm really bad at that so don't take my word for it. wet of the skin there is a definite woodys earthy smell. Smells almost exactly how it does in the bottle. drydown smells less strong on the vetiver and there definitely seems to be some kind of floral in here, I wish I knew what it was. It is really pretty. I think I smell a tad bit of patchouli too but I very well may be mistaken. After a little while there is almost a crispness to this, and more floral definately comes out, I think that there may be rose in here that I smell. Bah I'm going nuts because I can't identify exact notes but it smells absolutely fabulous Beth is a genius...but we already knew that. overall I would say this blend is also a really nice earthy scent, more so to me than gnome is. Don't be fooled by the initial impression because it changes quite a bit on the skin.

The heather in this has almost a haylike/green/herbal/floral scent to it, and the blackberries complement it very well. I can smell each of them equally, however this is so light on me I have to slather it on to smell anything, and in 3 hours it was completely gone. It was nice while it lasted at least.
-
Very clean smelling. Green and an airy type of musk. I can hardly smell it on me. I slathered it on but I still have to press my nose to my arm to pick up anything at all.
-
The cinnamon and white pepper were the first notes that appeared when I first put this on my skin. After it dried down a few minutes I could smell the clove. Very spicy blend. Unfortunately it seems to be burning my skin a bit. The cinnamon seems to be getting stronger as the discomfort on my wrist. I'm going to wash this off and be sad it isn't something I can wear. I'm going to try layering this with other oils and see if that tones down the burning at all, or I can wear it in my hair

Wet on skin: Lemons? Smells like pledge cleaner. With lily and rose. Drydown: Soapy lemons with some floral. I wish I got something resiny, but I don't at all. Very very very clean. Too clean for me. Feel like someone scrubbed me down with some lemon scented disinfectant. I was soooo looking forward to this too
-
This is really strong on me. Very cedar. Very very cedar. Much too masculine. This smells like cedar with a little patchouli and myrrh. Not much else. I can't smell the grapefruit until about 15 minutes into wear time. This is very spicy and woodsy. I would like this on a guy perhaps but not on me. Sad this is discontinued because it is a nice blend, even though it is a bit too masculine for my taste.

Curiouser and curiouser. Milk and honey with rose, carnation and bergamot. The first note to hit me when I apply this is the bergamot. After a few minutes I can smell some of the rose, milk, and sugar. Ahh now the honey is coming out. A foody scent, completely reminds me of tea parties. This smells so innocent. I really like it. The carnation adds just a hint of spice to this, but not enough to take away from the sugary milk smell that this has going for it. Yummy.

Everytime I see lavender listed I want to run away, lavender and I don't really get on but I keep trying it anyway, only because Beth has magically been able to use lavender in several of her blends that actually smells wonderful on me. Who knew? In the imp: strong lavender and a little tonka. Eek. Wet: lavender, but it isn't as strong as in the vial. I can actually smell some of the rosewood in this giving it a bit of an earthy scent. The tonka and amber really add some depth and warmth to this. Drydown: I can barely detect the lavender now, but the amber, tonka, rosewood are definately there, and I get a little of the patchouli, it isn't that strong at all. This scent is amazing!!!! I have to agree with blood*rose*flowers and say this is light earthy scent. There is a woodsyness to it, and earthiness but it isn't in your face dark and murky. Final Verdict: Buying a bottle. One of the best earthier scents I have tried. The lavender is so light but it really adds to the earthiness of this. The amber and tonka in here smell heavenly.

I don't know what it is with my skin and vioet, if it is in the blend my chemistry amps it way up and turns it slightly powdery. That is what happened here, to the point that I could barely smell anything but violet. It takes about 10 minutes for the violets to finally simma down and let some of the other notes through. I start to get a little rose and honeysuckle and a tad of the vanilla and amber. The longer this wears on my skin the lighter the violets get and the more I can smell the vanilla and amber, it still does have a powdery tone to it though.
-
This is a citrusy amber. I also get a little ozone from this after it has been on my skin for about 15 minutes. I love the amber in this but I just can't do citrus, it makes my nose twitch, and while the citrus has calmed down from when I initially put it on, it is still there. The amber in this is absolutely beautiful though!!!!
-
This is such a pretty sugary scent, but not like cotton candy sugary, but one of fried foods such as funnel cake. I also get marshmallows and coconut. This smells absolutely divine, but I don't know if I want to smell like yummy food all day. I am definately hanging onto my bottle however!!! Maybe even ordering another because this smells soooo good!!!

In the bottle: This smells of rich dark cocoa and fruits. Wet on skin: All cocoa. I can't smell anything else but I have a horrible craving for See's candy all of a sudden Drydown: The cocoa takes a step back and now I can smell the juiciness of the pomegranate, the ripeness of the fig, the honey and vanilla giving it the most delicious scent. I can't smell any of the lemon or bergamot though, which is good because I am not a citrus girl. This is such an amazing scent and it is very complex. Everything blossomed so beautifully and mixes together really well. I feel like I can detect a different note everytime I sniff my arm. Very impressed.
-
Wet on the skin: all lilac baby. Very strong floral. Drydown: the amber is peeking through, and the lilac has taken a powdery turn, but the myrrh has also come to the party. While I love the scent of the amber and myrrh, I am unsure about the powderyness of the lilac on me. I'm just not a powdery kind of girl, but oh am I a sucker for amber. I keep going back and forth because the amber in this is beautiful but the powder is not. I think I like it though, go figure because it is discontinued. Sigh....
-
In the Imp: I get the fig and dates. Very earthy and ripe. Wet on skin: Very strong of ripened fruit. Woah. Drydown: I think that is either vetiver or patchouli, I'm bad at notes sometimes. There is definately a dirtiness there with the ripened fruit, but a I can smell the currant and it rounds out the fragrance nicely. I get some herbs too as this dries down even furthur, about 10 minutes. This is a wonderful scent, makes me feel very grounded. Another bottle added to the list.
-
In the imp: wine, a little fig, and something else. I'm bad at picking notes but maybe myrrh. It smells rich Wet on the skin: lemons, almost candyish. Where did that beautiful richness go? This smells like lemons with something dark underneath. Drydown: So much better. The wine is coming out again, a little fig, the lemon scent has really faded down, a little floral, some musk. Much closer to what I originally smelled in the imp. Resiny, incense, woodsy, but not heady. Definately my cup of tea.
-
In the Bottle: I don't get any carnation at all. In fact this is all juicy berries and some amber. Sooo yummy!!! Wet on Skin: Almost bubblegummy, but there is the carnation. Definately spicy, can hardly smell the berries now because it is almost all spicy carnation. Drydown: I love this!!! I think I will need to order a few more bottles. The spice of the carnation has definately stepped back a bit in order to let some of the other notes through. The berries are more in the background and just add a subtle juiciness that is utterly yummy, but the amber and musk swirl through this and make it really beautiful. There is a very mild floral that I can barely detect, is that the heliotrope? I would say the dominant note in this on me is the musk once this wears down with the carnation and berries playing in the background. Perfect.
-
The name of this scent is very appropriate because it just smells dark. This is a heavy fragrance, very dark, murky, has a spice to it. The opium mixes nicely with the spice and myrrh. This is not a summer dress type of fragrance, you need something alot more domineering. Wear this when you want to feel powerful and dominant.
-
Very floral, and the jasmine is the most strongest note in here. The ylang ylang does get its punches in though. Once it dries down it is still predominantly floral on me, there is a sweetness to it though, I think that might be the black currant I am smelling. Now this is getting pretty, it is turning into a juicy floral which I love, rather than powdery florals. Later I can smell something resiny underneath the floral and juice, yes I like this one.
-
Immediately on the skin it is very floral, the lilac and lily really jump out on me. After a few minutes I can barely smell the dragon's blood, but i have to be looking for it. Definately a more floral, girly scent that actually gets a little powdery on me. I like it but not something I would normally wear.
-
I ordered a bottle of this unsniffed but while I was waiting for it I managed to get my hands on an imp of it. I am glad I have a bottle coming. This is hot!! Musky, fig, the dragon's blood. Amazing. Definately a sex scent. Very very sexy!!!
-
When I put this on I get rose, that is it. No pomegranate, just rose. No juiceness either, a powdery rose. About 5 minutes into wear I start picking up a little juice from the pomegranate but it is very faint. THe longer this is on my skin the more the pomegranate shows up, but it is still faint compared to the rose. It is pretty though.
