Ohhh, it's coconut I'm smelling. In the bottle: This is a little strong and overwhelms my nose so I can't figure out what I'm smelling, it is snowyish, and foody. On: Coconut meet almond. There's something a little vanilla and florally but mostly this just makes me think those two notes, so I'm still not sure if I like it on the third try since I reaally do not like coconut in any form including smell, but I do love almond. Ah well. I will probably get a bottle, and see how much I go for it.

In the imp: it smells kind of like liquid graham crackers to me. I don't get any rose or fruit really. On: Yum! Candied rose petals and blackberry cobbler, which is probably the currants and tarts, but I'm more familiar with blackberry cobbler so that's what my nose goes with. I love roses and I get them with this as a background scent rather than a full on scent which is probably a nice change for the people around me. I didn't think it had that much throw, but a girl at work said she smelled something nice and cinnamony? and tracked it down to my arm from about 3 or 4 feet away, so my nose may just be a little stuffy right now.

In the bottle and wet on my skin this is honey and cream which unfortunately smells sour to me (single honey notes do this to me too), and then after a few seconds it changes and becomes glorious. Roses and honey mmmm. And it stays that way the rest of the time just gradually softening till it's gone. I got this as a decant and now I'm going to have to track down a bottle which seems to be my fate with the rose scents I love the most. This went in the crook of my elbow since I had something on my wrist already that I didn't like very much and now I can't get my nose away. It is very sweet and if you don't like honey or roses it's probably not going to be something you like, on the other hand if you do like honey and roses this is the most awesome scent ever

In the bottle and wet on me this one is really citrus. There are hints of lavender, but thats all. On the dry down I can get the chocolate and mint if I get close enough and pay attention, but it's not very strong. I do like citrus I just wish that wasn't all I got. It also doesn't last very well on me, except the tangerine, which is something I like and wear as a single note. I like it, but I'm not sure I could justify a bottle of it.

I really like this scent. In the imp it's a little cacophonous to me, but once I put it on it was really nice. Wet I could smell the tea (earl greyish which is not my first choice for drinking but is a nice smell) and something that to me smelled a little like this perfume I had when I was little that I figured out was the linens. On the dry down I got mostly tea and linen still, but ginger and lemon kept coming in too. After a few hours it wasn't throwing very much, but I could still smell it on my wrist. Thoughts: This is a comforting sleepy scent to me. The ginger made it a little more complex which I liked. It really seems like a little bit of everything I like. The tea made it a little foody the ginger was a cross between foody and floral, and the linen was...hard to describe, I think of it as cross between baby powdery and floral, but it's really not, that's just my synesthesia kicking in with textures and visuals.

In the bottle: They stuck all the chocolate and amaretto candles in the store into this one little bottle somehow. Wet: If anything it's gotten stronger. Dry down: hmm. This scent really doesn't want to go away on me. I am getting a little more coffee and caramel which I like, but every once in a while it goes amaretto candle on me again which is not a scent I really want to wear. I tried this one a second time to see if maybe it was just something weird with my nose the first time, but it went about the same. For some reason this stuff sticks around on me even through washing and an attempt to drown it with tangerine essential oil (although I actually like the combo until that amaretto smell reemerges) Final thoughts: I really want to like this on me. I love foody scents, but I think this one might work better for me as a room scent.
