Cotton candy and wildflowers! It sort of reminds me to Jailbait, but better. Way too sweet for me, but I can see a young girl liking the candy sweetness of this.

Dark, rooty. I get an almost bitter/motor oil to this blend, which I wonder if it isn't the mandrake + myrrh working on this. There's a slight floral tinge to it, which I expect comes from the linalool. Dark, spicy, oily.

Leafy greenness gives way to green peppers and dirt with a hint of poppy and iris. Fun, feminine, mysterious.

Lime, LOADS of cedarwood and a hint of dragon's blood resin. Warm, rich, smoky.

Bitter pomegranate and rose. It dries down to a rose with anise tinge. Interesting, but not for me. Womanly, dark, powerful.

Smoky cinnamon marshmallows. Which totally get eaten by my skin. It's yummy, but very very faint on me, even on wet. PASS.

Red musk and clove. Clove clove. In some ways, it reminds me to deep, sultry scents like Madame Moriarty or Smut (neither of which I can really wear). It's a heavy perfume, and I can see this being worn only on cold nights/winter time. Spicy, sultry, deep.

Butterscotch and plastic pumpkin. EPIC FAIL!

I amp up ALL the florals in this blend. So I get mainly jasmine, poppy, lavender with hints of linen and honey. None of the vanilla or dark fruits, which is what I really wanted. Feminine, floral, clean.

This is a softly spiced pumpkin. Sadly, I don't really get a coffee note out of this. BOO.

Oh Sogg. You start out so promising with the tart, bright grapefruit but you drydown to mossy bog water. EPIC FAIL.

Sandalwood, ambergris and some red rose. This is a nice, muted, warm blend.

This one is way more floral than I anticipated. I get pom on wet, with hints of roses and lilac. The roses and lilac get stronger as it dries, and I get a touch of frankincense and honey. The rose note is a 'green' rose, almost sappy. I like the lilac whiffs I get. Dark, sophisticated, heady.

Boozy vanilla and almond white cake. Yes, thick creamy frosting. Sadly, the vanilla veers into plasticky territory on me, so it ends up smelling like a really awesome DOLL. This is the smell of girlish dreams, when your doll could talk to you, and you'd have fabulous adventures in the blink of an eye. With your purple plushy unicorn, whose name is Hubert.

KPX130 is an intense lemon. And I agree with Little Bird, and think it actually has lemon grass. I think there's some light musk, and aloe on the drydown. Clean, bracing, refreshing.

Dry apple, musk and tobacco. It's sort of a 'manly' apple scent on me. The musk turns powdery on me, but overall its a dark, musky apple. Sadly, the throw on this is pretty strong for me.

Golden apple spice tea. I get the golden apple, tea, carnation and spices. On the drydown, its more of a carnation/floral spice tea mix. Warm, golden, spicy.

It started off as hot apple cider, and now I get mostly cinnamon, clove, allspice, a hint of citrus (orange, possibly lemon) and some butterscotch. It's delicious, but it smells faintly to 'fall' themed potpourri. My guess is that the mix of spices makes me think of that.

Very bright green apple and fruit on wet. It dries to a fruity, sugary floral. I get hints of strawberry, violet and rose with a base of pomegranate. The lovely, juicy green apple note does not stick around. RATS.

This is a very apple floral blend. It's nice and juicy on wet, and dries to a light, floral scent. I'd recommend this to a young girl.

This apple was very slight apple, very floral and with the sandalwood grounding it all. Pleasant, elusive, but I wish it has more apple oomph.

Crypt King for me is a dark pomegranate and patchouli male cologne. I definitely amp up the cologne notes, the pom (especially on wet) and patchouli which seems to base it all. Attractive, but not for me.

This is a mix of dark fruity plum and plum blossom. It teetertotters over the dark, smoky plum and the more floral edges of plum blossom. On wet, definitely more floral and as it dries I get more of the dark plum note from say Bordello and Hellion. Must say that plum as a fruit SN has survived much better than some of the lighter fruit notes I've tried.

[mods, if there is another review thread out there for this, feel free to merge. I looked and searched, but could not find it!] LUMF2 is what I think smells like a typical male cologne. I think there's sandalwood, a hint of dark musk, and spices of which I think pepper may be one of them and possibly a dirt note.

Creamy dark chocolate, dirt and a floral note that makes me think of lilacs. This blend reminds me to the Sugared She Goat Chocolates collection. I actually really enjoy how dark and chewy this chocolate is.
