Black fig, oudh, vanilla and patchouli. This one for me is a fig-patchouli blend, and its fruitier and sweeter than I expected. Decadent and strong. Good throw and wear length.

I may have to hunt down a bottle.

Wheat, hay, nuts and smoky vetiver. It's dark, harvest, smoke and outside. It's gender-neutral to manly on me. Good throw and wear length.

Soft blue green musk, and a touch of kelp. This smells oceanic, clean, and comforting. Like a beach at night. Medium throw, good wear length.

Rich dark chocolate, musk and a touch of sandalwood. This is a very dark chocolate blend. Foodie, without being sweet. Medium throw and wear length.

Perfumey red apple and a touch of patchouli. I get a ton of red apple and apple blossom from this. Fresh, and appley. Medium throw and wear length.

This smells like a more citrus version of Spanish Moss. Moss, dirt, citrus and a touch of salt. Not an aquatic per se, but a lovely natural blend. On wet, I smelled an almost black tea note and it kinda lingers through out.

Contemplating a bottle as well.

Floral green apple and honey. This one is light and sweet, and I'd say it would be very appropriate for a young teenage girl. Good throw and wear length.

Caramel, cookies, and a wee touch of apple. This is the most caramel scent ever. Brown sugar and caramel. You know you love it. Good throw and wear length.

Rubbery wet paint, stage makeup, dust and something linen like. This is very unpleasant to me. Great throw and wear length.

This smells like a murder clown. Like that Clown from American Horror Story: Carnival. Yup, that one.

Night cream and roses. This smells like grandma! There's a white cold cream note that is kinda ghostly and kinda nostalgic. Very feminine. Great throw and wear length.

Airy green apple and touches of white floral. It's a very green apple blend. I sprayed it on the sheets and mr. zee_zee said it smelled nice, like a fancy hotel.

If you want a fancy hotel, give this a whirl.

Dark chocolate and woodsmoke. It starts off as a chocolate blend, but then the woodsmoke comes out and I think there's a touch of pine in it. It prevents this from being a foodie blend, and just sort of drops it into the manly -forest-type cologne for me honestly. Good throw and wear length.

Strawberry, lavender, and a touch of myrrh. It's a pink creamy blend, and the strawberry note in this works really really well. If you were hoping for a super-strawberry BPAL, I'd check this out. It reminds me to Strawberry Moon, and just enough of it to make me think of Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Medium throw and wear length.

Sweet fruity blackberries, green leaves and a hint of dry leaves. This one is fruitier and sweeter than I expected. There's an almost red wine note to the blackberries. I am digging this more than I expected. Good throw and wear length.

Leather, cloves, and leaf fougere. This one is rugged, and manly and makes me think of Quincy Morris. The leather is definitely that sueded brown leather note. I quite like the addition of clove to it. Good throw and wear length.

Sugary pumpkin spice with a touch of buttery cream. This one to me was more sugar and more of the spice than actual pumpkin. In the same way that a pumpkin spice latte makes you think of pumpkin, but not because there's real pumpkin it it, but because of the spices associated with it. Good throw and wear length.

Pink strawberry candy and pumpkin. Very sweet and candy-like. Medium throw and wear length.

Foody sugary pumpkin with a touch of lavender. Very foodie, very pumpkin. Good throw and wear length.

This is like a high aquatic on me. I get ivy, moss, and a smidge of white rose. This honestly reminds me to Host of Air. Great throw and wear length.

Cinnamon, caramel popcorn, and a touch of pumpkin. This just smells foodie, and delicious and convince the zee_zee kid we were baking when he came in the door. So great for the holidays when you want your relatives to think you've been cooking up a storm even if you decided to order pie from the store.

Bourbon vanilla, tonka, and a touch of lavender. This is a vanilla resinous blend with lavender and a touch of honey. Good throw and wear length.

Peach, green tea, jasmine and a touch of frankincense. On wet, it was much more of a peach gelee, with citrust notes, and then the jasmine and frankincense came out. Medium throw and wear length.

Root beer floats and a leather background. I'm surprised at how much I actually enjoy this blend considering its essentially candy and leather. But hey, there's a playful rough and tumble about this that is great. Low throw and wear length though.

Tomato leafs and dead leaves. OMG TOMATO LEAF. This reminds me to the Tomato Leaf SN on wet. It dries to a slightly more perfumey leaf blend, but on wet is was green and leafy and deliciously tomato leaf. Good throw and wear length.

Green apple, champagne and a touch of melon. Green, sweet, and effervescent. Good throw, low wear length.
