Echoing the Eat Me love and adding Mouse Circus. Maybe Knave of Hearts?

Bottle 1: At first it started of as a sugary/fruit and popcorn, but it morphed pretty quickly into an exact replica of Rosy Maple Moth, which smells like watermelon Jolly Ranchers on me. Meh. Bottle 2: Straight up cherries and a hint of caramel out of the bottle, which prepared me for disaster, but after an hour it smells like a macaroon. I'm digging it.

Have you tried Anesthesia? It has the same peppermint with lavender.

Jasmine is hit or miss on me, and myrrh is headache inducing doom in most blends, so as somebody stated above, if this hadn't been a frimp I probably never would have tried this, but I'm so glad I did! This is all pink musk and skin musk on me...definitely a very creamy pink scent, and what I originally assumed Alice would be like. There is a slight hint of mystery rose, but it's very nice, calm, and subdued. This to me is a very "ingenue" scent. Soft and innocent, but with promise. This doesn't have huge throw on me, sitting pretty close to the skin. I don't have many pretty girly scents, but this is a definite contender.

This scent is total love for me, and has quickly become one of my default scents for when I want to feel comfortable, yet confident and attractive. For me, this is mostly leather with some vanilla, a hint of smoke, and a trace of florals. It's a comfortable type of leather though, it's the leather of a favorite coat that you wear out to the clubs, which always kind of smells a little smoky, no matter how long you air it out. I feel as though the throw is pretty moderate, but the wear length is ridiculously long.

This bottle is starting to get some heavy rotation from me as the weather starts warming up, as it's one of my few sunny happy scents. On me, Croquet is primarily grapefruit, tangerine, and musk, with a hint of lime. I'm terrified of patchouli and rose, as they do horrible things on my skin, but if they're present, the other elements do a fantastic job of beating them into submission. I would definitely recommend this scent to people who want a slightly understated fruity scent. Throw is medium, wear length is very respectable.

Both wet and dry, the sweet juiciness of the apricot is set off very nicely by the spice of the clove. This is a very straightforward scent that doesn't really morph at all on me. It just stays consistently fantastic, and I love my bottle. The fruit lends itself well during the summer, and the spice makes this wearable in the winter as well.

In the bottle and when first applied, the glace cherries pretty much took over. Upon drying however, the cherry pretty much faded completely, leaving the apricot and almond. I'm not really getting a heavy pastry scent, but once in awhile I get a hint of it. It's quite pretty! I might need a bottle...

Wet, this smells like spicy cookie(which is love): spices, sugar, with a bit of nuts thrown in. By the time it dried, however, I got this really interesting slightly sweet, slightly spicy powdered sugar smell (like ACTUAL, nose tickle powdered sugar, although my less scent-sensitive coworker said that I smelled like vanilla, which is still a win in my book!). It's stuck on my scarf and gloves, and I keep getting lovely little wafts of it two days later. Now I'm totally craving it AND the real thing. Definitely glad I took a chance and ordered the bottle unsniffed!

I've had multiple compliments on the Girl so far, including from my BPAL cranky boyfriend, which frankly makes her bottle-worthy right there! That being said, I get a lot of birch from this, with a touch of floral in the background making it a bit sweet. It sounds slightly weird, but this is kind of what I would imagine Galadriel from LotR to smell like, walking through Lothlorien. It's a very evocative scent for me, which does not happen very often. Overall, a very nice blend.

I got this imp for myself, thinking that it would walk a foppish line between masculine and feminine. While I think that this could definitely be the case for some people, I fear this is not the case for myself, as it turns into an herbal cough drop on me. BUT... My boyfriend (who hates BPAL and most smelly things) agreed to try it on after I made him smell the imp. Much to his dismay, he loves it. He actually stole my imp! It smells lovely and clean and masculine on him, which makes Wilde a total win in my book.

Interestingly, I got a slight banana note from the bottle as well, which I was not expecting. However, when I put this on, it totally blossomed. When I first put this on my skin, I got a deep boozy caramel note, rich and a little sweet. It was quite nice, but as it dried, I began to get the smoky oak note of the barrel along with the caramel booze note. Which...in the end leads me to smelling like a sweet boozy bonfire. Yesssss.

I'm kind of jealous of everyone who got the full panoply of notes on this one. I was really hoping for a darker smoky floral tinged with orange, and instead I get ORAAAAANGE in big capital letters. There is a little bit of incense hanging around, making things slightly more interesting, but the orange is a little too sweet and cloying for my tastes.

This is a very heady, floral scent right out of the imp. I tested it like I normally would, and was immediately bowled over by a rush of FLOWERS. It then proceeded to turn directly to bug spray on me. A subdued, heavily floral bug spray, but insect repellent nonetheless. Upon drying it became a much nicer, rounder floral, but it's still not something that I'd see myself wearing.
