bluerose

In the bottle: Alcohol with juniper. I can't smell any of the spices.

 

On the skin: Hints of booze, but predominantly juniper.

In the bottle: Straight up sarsaparilla. No cream.

 

On the skin: Creamy sarsaparilla. Yum.

In the bottle: It smells like the inside of a laundromat.

 

On the skin: I smell clean, like just fresh out of the shower kind of clean.

In the bottle: This is hard to describe. It's the all the scents are mashed together. I can't pick out any individual notes at all. It's like nothing I've smelled before.

On the skin: It's very soft and close to the skin. It reminds me of the dames of the 30s. The only note I can pick out now is the opium.

It smells like cough syrup/cold medicine I've taken while sick. I can detect hints of pineapple, but it's not enough to cover that cough syrup scent.

In the bottle: A sweet and smoky wood scent.

 

On the skin: A sweet and smoky medicinal smell. It might just be me, but it doesn't smell very post apocalyptic. It smells like a medicine shop.

In the bottle: Lushly sweet greens.

 

On the skin: Pretty much the same. It's evocative of a lush spring day with a soft breeze. Very pretty.

In the bottle: Light leather, amber, and sage.

 

On the skin: How weird. This turns into a clean leather scent with hints of amber. The leather in this blend is very demur and wearable.

In the bottle: A deliciously fruity musk.

 

On the skin: The vetiver, myrrh, and ode comes out. It almost drowns out the fruitiness - making it darker. The end result is a dark fruity scent (predominantly coconut).

In the bottle: I can smell every single note listed. The peppermint makes this scent very minty.

 

On the skin: A strong minty lavender. Wow, it'll really clear your sinuses too!

In the bottle: Honey and blue chamomile. (This is a very nice chamomile - nothing like the chamomile in Sachs.)

 

On the skin: A light honey and blue chamomile scent. It's very clean and refreshing.

In the bottle: Sweet black musk with geranium.

 

On the skin: Sweet geranium with hints of musk.

In the bottle: Citrus, balsam, something sweet, and spices.

 

 

On the skin: Predominantly citrus with the smell of spices in the background. Refreshing in its own way.

In the bottle: Rum, leather, and woods.

 

On the skin: Sweet bay rum and opium with some leather and massoia bark. A very masculine scent.

In the bottle: Cold clean stones. Is that mint I smell?

 

On the skin: This is very refreshing. It stays the same cold clean stone smell on me. It reminds me of walking on stone bridge on a cold night. It's very nice.

In the bottle: Earthy patchouli and lemongrass. It makes me think of dirt, grass, and stones by the woods.

 

On the skin: A tame earthy blend that's very comforting. I can't pinpoint individual notes any more.

In the bottle: Metal, red musk, and resins.

 

On the skin: Metalic red musk with a tinge of resins. Odd, this combination slowly turns into cologne on my skin...

In the bottle: Skin musk with honey.

 

On the skin: Salty honey skin musk with leather. It has a sexy biker chick feel to it.

In the bottle: Very herbal with a bit of resins.

 

On the skin: The first image that pops into my mind is an ancient and dusky alchemy room - long unused and abandoned. Dusky green resins.

In the bottle: White floral and velvetier. (Lots of velvetier) The sandalwood peeks out ever so slightly.

 

On the skin: Velvetier and white tea with just the teeniest bit of white amber. Fades fast on my skin.

In the bottle: It smells like spring! A clean and slightly sweet scent. I can smell the plum blossom and rosehip.

 

On the skin: Huh. There's something about this that reminds me of a slightly tamer version of Bathsheba. Faint sweet fruity floral. Getting just the tiniest bits of amber incense.

In the bottle: It smells like stale perfume and cigarette smoke. No gin.

 

On the skin: Stale perfume, cigarette butts, and something gone bad. It brings to mind what a cheap and dirty motel room would smell like.

This is very cloying - lots of sweet black incense and leather. People who enjoy leather scents should like this one.

I love this spray. It lives up to its namesake of awesomeness. It smells just like the description - sweet and clean. I'm getting some vanilla and apples (but on closer sniff I think it might be the ginger and neroli combining together). It's very nice and soothing. I wish this wasn't a C2E2 exclusive.

It smells like a concentrated version of the bath oil with the additional notes of oak and leather peaking out. The oak and leather doesn't overpower the scent of amber, vanilla, and figs; but it makes the scent darker than the bath oil version.
