Dandelions, moss, and green swampyness. This is not my style at all, but its very otherworldly and I would definitely recommend this for any monster Halloween costume. You don't wanna smell human? Give this a whirl!

This one is rich buttercream, with a touch of cheesecake. I get a buttery foodie vanilla, some brown sugar, and a touch of what smells like cheesecake. Very foodie. Medium throw and wear length.

MCCXXXIII (1233): This one is a musky fruity scent. There's a sprinkling of sugar, and it makes me think of red currants. There's a bit of musk, and it reminds me to a fruity Shunga. It has a fun, fruity, clean edge. Low throw and wear length.

Woodsy patchouli, blush of honey, and a melange of leather and other manly oils. Smells manly. And like the outside. And bearded.

Definitely for the men folk. Good throw and wear length.

Odd lavender and green musk. This starts off as a more intense and weird 51, and dries down to a heavy lavender with a sprinkling of green musk. Fresh, clean, and lavendery. Not what I expected at all. Medium throw and wear length.

Peppermint, spearmint, touch of evergreens, and dirt. This one smells like a wintery version of Irish Spring - minus the cool laundry note. Slightly masculine and I wish I wasn't amping the evergreens. Medium throw and wear length.

Ranch dressing and garlic dehydrated mashed potato mix. I get a ton of chives/garlic from this. But it smells, well, fake in the same way that boxed mashed potatoes don't taste anything LIKE real mashed potatoes. I sort of smell like Sour Cream and Onion Pringles. Great smell on a snack. Less so as a perfume. Great throw and wear length, of course.

Pine, aluminium metal, and pine air freshner. It starts off strong, but winds down as a gentle pine blend. It's pleasant, cheery, and if you were fond of Disco Snowballs, then this is a vibe cousin. It's fake, but who cares when you're glittery, pretty and fun? Enjoy your Christmas! Good throw and wear length.

This reminds me to the note of flue gas in one of the Century Guild's. Ashy, smoky, industrial. Dark. Slightly petrochemically. Medium throw, low wear length.

Pink roses, violet and a whiff of cedar. Good throw and wear length. Very pink.

White tea, white sandalwood and a touch of mint. This is clean, unisex, and very bright. It sort of reminds me to Cool Water. This is more like an oasis than a desert on me.

Good throw and wear length.

Very similar to Europa - alot of vetiver, dribble of chocolate, and a whiff of vanilla. Smoky, dirty, and great throw.

Warm butter and a touch of whiskey. Good throw and wear length.

At the beginning this smells like salted caramel, and as it dries down I get more of the powdery cocoa and a touch of walnuts. There's a buttery cake note as well on my skin. Good throw and wear length.

Raspberry jam and powder sugar doughnuts. Like magical glazed pastry. This is so realistic, I want to keep sniffing it and it makes me super hungry. Good throw and wear length.

Oh god, this is amazing. Apricot, blood orange, touches of chypre and lavender, on a base of amber. Both the chypre and the lavender turn it more into a perfume, and but they are just whiffs. The apricot and blood orange are subtle but present.

This is just lovely. Absolutely lovely. Medium throw and wear length.

Will be ordering a bottle of this.

Oh man, I get black currant, violet, a touch of sandalwood and something that smells vaguely familiar and comforting. It does remind me to Lush's the Comforter bubble bar.

If you love that scent, this one is for you. Medium throw and wear length.

I really wanted to love this and I was hoping for peppermint cream all the way. I get a blast of peppermint cream on wet, and then the chocolate makes an appearance. Both of these fade and I'm left with a slightly minty, slightly chocolate vanilla. Heavily foodie. Medium throw and wear length.

RATS.

Sweet resins with a whiff of snowy vanilla. This one is warm and resinous, and the vanilla just adds a touch of sweetness.

Creamy vanilla, tobacco, and wisps of porcelain and cognac. The porcelain and cognac keep the vanilla from being too rich or foodie. I can see why people would really really love the vanilla-tobacco combo in this. It ends up as high end vanilla perfume on me. Great throw and wear length.

I would definitely try to enable folks that love traditional vanilla perfumes with this.

Coconut snow frankincense on wet. As it dries, the snowy coconut top note disappears and I get more of the patchouli. This ends as a patchouli-sandalwood mix, with a whiff of coconut snow on it. Dry, strong, and manlier than I expected. Medium throw and wear length.

Green, wet, dead leaves with a hint of manly aquatic cologne. Airier than the just straight up dead leaves.

Cinnamon, red musk, and dark dragon's blood resin. The comparison to Scherezade is apropos. Good throw and wear length.

Honestly, this reminds me to Love's Philosophy + a squeeze of orange. Saffron vanilla, with swirls of mandarin and a touch of amber. Good throw and wear length.

I think I need a bottle.

Fruity honeyed red apple. Medium throw and wear length.
