This one has a hint of cold air, the blue musk reminds me to Silence, with a hint of creamy iris. It's a little more floral than I expected. Cool, green, musky.
-
This smells like a cross of Mistletoe and Black Forest - dark pine and birch, surprisingly wearable. This is how Christmas trees should smell like.
-
ROSE linen. It smells very clean, and well like ubernice detergent.
-
Lots of peppermint and spearmint on wet. It kinda reminds me to toothpaste. It dries to soft vanilla mint. At this point it kinda reminds me to Snowblind.
-
The Ski Lady, jötunn goddess of winter, bowhunting, mountains, and skiing. The scent of winter wind blowing over snow-capped mountains. This one definitely reminded me to Skadi. It's got that pine/eucalyptus thing going on (Skadi was close to ALL PINE ALL THE TIME on me), but softer. Slushy berries, and a hint of perfume.
-
Honeysuckle, pine, and musk. On wet, it smells kinda soapy. As it dries, I can identify some of its components, although the soapy quality still lingers. I wonder if its the orange blossom that turns soapy on me?
-
Grapefruit and vanilla snow. And then it dries to a more lemon/yuzu citrus and I get a spice note thrown in as well. Ermmm... Pass.
-
Same snow note as in Ice Queen, minus the pine and perhaps a tinge more floral. I love Ice Queen, and its' one of my favorite BPALs and this is like a softer, more floral little sister. Definitely like this one. ALOT.
-
WISTERIA + honey. My skin amps up wisteria like a demon, and this is no exception. PASS.
-
Jasmine, honeysuckle and musk. The jasmine keeps stabbing my nose. It's sort of airy, ethereal and perfumey.
-
Afternoon sunshine. I get pomegranate with hints of citrus, saffron, and a bit of amber and tonka. It's like squeezed juice over amber. Tasty, sunny, golden.
-
Fruity, fizzy, effervescent sweet scent. Its got tinges of citrus, rose, and touches of sandalwood. Reminds me to Spinning Multicolor Metallic Pinwheel and Harlequin. The joy of the dawn.
-
Definitely a "plummy" note with a hint of rum. Like a darker, boozier Sugar Plum Fairy. Fun, festive, playful.
-
Figs, rum and cinnamon. This one would be my perfect fig scent if it stuck around longer. Sadly, my skin chemistry EATS this.

Black Cherry Amaretto Christmas Puddin'

Sweet black cherry, vanilla and a hint of booze. It's very soft, sweet and girly. -
Frankincense, saffron and oak. Resinous, a hint of bergamot, but in general sort of masculine and resinous.
-
Berries, rose and frankincense. This is a warm, resinous berry-rose blend. There's joy, and yes brightness, and sweetness. The berry is definitely 'jammy'.
-
So Oak Moon suffers from a super bi-polar personality on me. On wet, its this uber-strong and masculine OAK note. It's like Oak King on steroids. And dries down to a woody vanilla. Which moves from masculine to almost feminine. Still too woody for me overall, but deliciously beautiful.
-
O plus vanilla and orange. It's the same honey note from O that occasionally does funky things on my skin, and ends up smelling sort of 'musty' on the drydown. Boo. I can see this being wicked popular though.
-
Banana nut bread and incense. That's what it reminds me of. Incense, smoke and wisps of nuts and bananas. Tropical, smoky, exotic.
-
Extra spicy pumpkin bread. i get the brown sugar, clove, cinnamon and maple sugar. This is sweet, sticky and spicy. I find it more masculine, given the spices involved than say something gender neutral or girly. Uhhh.... I totally want some pumpkin pie now. Not for the hungry.
-
Lavender, white musk, and tinges of purple fruit. This is a very PURPLE blend.
-
Dark chocolate, wood and that furry bat musk. On the drydown I get some of the cassia, and the light cologne note. Slightly masculine, playful and debonair.
-
Pom and clean dirt. It smells like soap and pom on me. PASS.
