This is just ... mmmm. Sweet, soft ... I love the lab's bamboo. The dragon's blood resin lends it some sweetness as does the cherry blossom. The sandalwood gives it some depth, and the bamboo gives it a watery feel. Overall it's a red-ish pink feel to it that's feminine, sexy, soft, and sweet.

Sweet, soft, pink in color (scent color). I love cherry blossom in just about every form I've seen but this is the first time I've had a chance to try the labs cherry blossom and I am most definitely not disappointed. This is bordering on being powdery. Very feminine, very soft, very pretty.

This is different, in that it has a "cold" note that I normally stay away from. The caves of ice is noticeable, but there's also a sweetness in there, some golden notes, and an overall well blended scent. I'm actually finding I like this quite a bit though it's a scent I would never actively seek out because I tend to shy away from a few notes in here (ice and basalm namely). Really a surprise win!

Very soft, slightly sweet musky smell. Good layering. Put it next to Rogue and it's already starting to do nice things. =)

This is nice. Worn leather, bit of pine, and a scent I associate with ropes (I assume the hemp). Almost exactly like a saddle smell. It's very warm and almost comforting.

In the bottle this smells dark, leathery, a little dangerous. Leahter starts out sharp and biting, not a well worn leather, more sleak. Almond sits around and the vanilla peeks out every now and then. Little bit of a bark note which is the oak + almond husk maybe. Patchouli sits back and watches it all, just hanging out. As the leather warms, it loses some of it's sharpness and becomes more malleable. This is a very assertive blend and makes no bones about being itself.

He's soft, sweet, musky. Like a warm blanket that you've pulled out for the fall. You'd put it away after washing it in your favorite laundry detergent that is now discontinued and it's that first inhale sitting in front of a small fire, with a cup of tea in your hands and a good book set off to the side of the rocker. In other words, I like this. A lot.

Soft, fuzzy and warm. I can definitely smell a little of everything, but it's very well blended and just cozy.

In the bottle: Almost a candy-like floral sweetness Wet on skin: Thankfully that candy note doesn't show on skin. It's still sweet though and I get the whole bush, not just the floral. There's a greenness in it too. Dry: Sweet, soft, pinky pink floral, with some greenness. Nice for those days I want to be ultra-girly! Or if I can talk my daughter into wearing anything other than Agape, this would be good on her.

In the bottle: Soft, sweet floral Wet on skin: Tuberrose is front and center (as it tends to be on me) and wet. Dry: This is soft and light floral, the bourbon vanilla tries it's best to keep it all grounded. A little age might help it out.
-
In the bottle: This is FLORAL with some green coming through Wet on skin: Roses, peeks of coconut, little bit of cinnamon poking through, some musk in the background. I think everything is trying to wrestle the roses into submission. Dry: Roses, coconut, and cinnamon. It's nice, but I think a little age will do it some good.

In the bottle: opium and flowers Wet on skin: Getting a bit of the cypress tar, it's all very smoky and dark. Opium is coming out more, as are some of the florals. Dry: This is very complex, soft, smoky, dark, resinous. The florals sort of sit above everything, just wafting about in the darkness. I'm glad I didn't pass this one up!
-
In the bottle: I too get a very buttery, sweet scent. Wet on the skin: Some of the smokiness and spiciness starts to come out. Dry: This is warm, sweet, slightly spicy. Love it! Reminds me of the vanilla in my beloved Lawn Gnome.

Pipe tobacco and ambergris is front and center in the wet stage. Little sweet, little salty, and just now going a little smoky. Not getting the "hot leather" which was honestly the note that I was most worried about. This actually reminds me more of a Smoke shop and not "hellfire".

The dead are dancing with the dead, the dust is whirling with the dust: angel’s trumpet, violet, white sandalwood, oude, copaiba balsam, angelica, white tea, olibanum, and oakmoss. Soft floral, not overpowering, not assuming, it just is. Kind of wafts around without imposing but letting you know it's there.
-
This is much softer than I thought it would be. Floral with a tint of incense underneath. The jasmine is very prominent in this.
-
This is not one I would choose from scent list alone, but as a frimp, I'll test anything at least once. This is very sweet. Not so much foodie sweet, but floral/fruit sweet. It's actually kind of pretty, and the longer it sits the more the florals come out and the fruit sinks to the background. Not something I'd reach for very often, but it has that sweet quality that I crave every once in a while.
-
I can kind of almost smell it. It's very faint, very soft. I get the baby's breath. But, unlike other clover scents, I'm not really picking up that greenness that I was hoping for. It's nice but overpowering at all ... maybe for those days when I'd rather it be close to the skin instead of a huge throw.

Dark, heady .... baby powder. Oh rose. It is flipping between baby powder and rose so maybe all is not lost!
-
I'm almost afraid to try it. Rum and I, we're not always the best of friends when it's hidden in a blend. Front and center, I'm a little scared... It has a bit of a woody smell to it, and some hint of a fruit. Not as "alcohol" as I was expecting. It's not much of a spied rum either (my DH likes the Captian Morgan, so I know first hand that smell). As it dries it's going almost to cigarette ashes. Yuck!
-
Very floral, clean and crisp, bit of a wafting feel to it. Pretty but it's almost too light and airy for my tastes.
-
This is a VERY citrusy scent. It's got the feel of the disinfectant wipes I use, the lemon scented ones. And while cleaning I like to smell that in the bathroom or kitchen, I'm not so sure I'd like it on myself.

I've shied away from chocolate scents for ... forever. This is the first one that's touched my skin since I was a child. And amazingly enough, I get little to no chocolate scent. It's actually very candy-like. I get more of a visual of the gooey part of a chocolate covered cherry, than I do the actual cherry or chocolate. Definitely not my cuppa, but not at all what I was expecting either.

When your favorite GC blends are discontinued

Anyone know of anything comparable to Shadow Witch Orchid? I happened to find an imp of it, husband commented he liked it, and I made the sad face and said it was discontinued. He then made the sad face. And now we are a house of sad faces!
