as usual, the caramel is amped a bit more than the other notes on my skin. were i a caramel lover, i might enjoy this, but in this scent it tends to overwhelm. i can smell the vanilla below and a hint of the patchouli. this scent is nice, and i may wear it from time to time, but it's foodier than i generally wear. i wish the carnation and iris came out more with my skin chemistry

this is a sweet floral with a hint of herbal-bitterness that tempers the sweetness. therefore, i like it a lot! i think i am mostly smelling the blackberry, sage and peony. perhaps hibiscus? just seems like a green leafy floral. i think i will keep my imp of this!

wow i can't pick out any notes in this at all. i think it may be some white floral like ylang ylang with cedar or frankincense and an added powderiness. it's kind of sharp and bitter and gives me a headache, so i'll have to swap it.

i smell vetiver, aquatics and some sort of clear, watery floral. this is VERY aquatic...much too much for my tastes, so it's off to swaps!

i get mostly lavender, musk and spice from this. not much jasmine, thankfully. still something about this smells stuffy or uptight to me. it's not really wowing me so i think i'll swap it.

omg i love this one! more than i expected too. but i shoudlve known, since i really love orchid and dirt/moss notes. this is the perfumeyness of orchid mixed with a hint of dirt. the orchid is strongest on me. the cypress is apparent, but the patchouli isnt much..yay! i think ill hunt down a bottle of this if i can.

i'm surprised, i actually like this one. foody scents often go bad, but this one is nice. it's more foody-perfumey like 13 is, and i can wear those kind of scents. i cant pick out any specific notes, i can just tell that this smells like a perfumey, slightly caramelly vanilla. very nice. all i got was a sniffie with enough to try a few times, but maybe i'll try to track down more someday.

i got a sniffie of this with just enough to try a few times. i smell pure dirt with moss, like zombi without the roses. it has a wetness to the scent like dirt after the rain. this is very nice, since i love dirt notes! only thing is, my skin eats it right up

another tropical scent that is strangely appealing to me. it's sweet but not cloying and has a sort of...dustiness to it, which i am assuming could be from the sugar cane. it kind of smells like a tropical drink sans the alcohol. i normally dont like fruity scents, but this one is kind of cool. i'd probably only wear it once in a blue moon though.

Sweet tropical fruits burst through deep, wet rainforest boughs, enormous steamy blossoms, over thin mountaintop breezes, mingled with the soft, rich golden scent of Peruvian amber. this is very tropical and rainforesty and wet. it's sweeter than i normally like, but it's sort of grown on me, maybe due to the amber, because i LOVE amber and it really adds a nice base to this. i think maybe i'll keep my imp of this and wear it in the summer.

i honestly like this one a lot more than i thought i would. bay rum always feels too masculine to me, but i like it in this! perhaps because it has the dirt and flowers added, which work well on me. i get a slightly boozy-spiciness from this, but it is not overwhelming. the dirt is more prominent at first, then fades into the background. the flowers are there to add sweetness, but they are so well blended i can't pick any notes out. i will definitely keep my imp of this, it's very interesting!

hmm i like this one but don't love it. it smells like sweet tea with a fruity-citrus twist. there is an underlying warmth underneath and this scent is very comforting and bright. very pretty, just not for me.

A great undersea metropolis located below Devil's Reef. A swirling, lightless, effervescent scent: the deepest marine notes with bergamot, eucalyptus and foamy ambergris. this is very aquatic with a fruity sweetness to it. not sure what note is doing that. it reminds me of shampoo a bit and is too sweet for my personal tastes, so it's off to swaps.

i think i smell sandalwood and cinnamon? and not much else. this is a spicy warm scent, but has a distant feeling to it. it's ok but not really 'me' so i think i will swap it.

i think this is roses and rosewood...like others have said. rosewood has a tendency to go sour on me, so i am not liking this one much. i liked it at first when i got more of a creamy rose scent, but now it's turned to sour rose. off to the swap pile!

oooooh i love this one. all i get is amber with a slight spice of some sort? maybe some woods. i am having trouble picking out anything but the amber. this scent is warm and comforting and i want a big bottle

this smells like mint and turpentine in the imp. it dries down to a fruity-mint. maybe apple or peach? not really my favorite, as i dont really like fruity scents.

i can honestly say that i have no idea what is in this but that i like it a lot. it's sort of dry and herbal with a hint of...floral maybe? it's very light and there is a slight skin muskiness i can notice. i might want to get a bottle of this. eta: i read a review above mine and i can now safely say that it is indeed orange blossom. creamy orange blossom. mmm.

this scent is very sharp and woody. i am getting the pencil shavings i get from cedar i think. i am not a big patchouli fan but am a recent convert to vetiver love, so i thought i'd try this. however, i dont think it works so well on me, so off to swaps...

despite not being my normal kind of scent, i like this! something in it is so familiar to me. it smells like a commercial men's cologne that i've smelled before. it is very cologney to me- aquatic and sort of powdery. i wish i could place what it smells like. not sure i would wear this much, i might like it better on a guy.

all i get is honeysuckle and black pepper. i sort of actually like the pepper, but honeysuckle is not my friend. too bad because i'm an aries, but this one doesn't do it for me.

after smelling this in the imp, i was almost afraid to try it. it smells VERY foody in the imp, like saffron rice. on my skin it smells like mataar paneer with saffron rice! i love indian food but dont want to smell much like it now that it's dried a bit i can smell the bay rum and tobacco with just a hint of lime. bay rum is not very 'me' and it's pretty prevalent here, so this doesnt work for me. it's an interesting scent though and very evocative.

first off i smell the carnation and a cakey scent with the wine at the forefront. once it dries, the florals and amber come out more adding some spice to the wine scent. i know this has wine in it, but it smells young to me, not sophisticated as others have said. but maybe that's just me. i think i will keep my imp, but i dont need a bottle.

this reminds me a bit of chrysanthemum moon but it's a bit softer. perhaps it's the heliochrysum, which i assume may smell similar to mums? the copal is in the background and blends beautifully with the florals. i usually cannot wear frankincense or ylang ylang, but i dont sense either of them in this at all. must get a big bottle!

at first the vetiver is very strong. once it fades a bit i think i am getting primarily leather and champaca flower? it's leathery but sweet with a faint herbal-earthiness in the background. reminds me of the smell of tobacco, even though tobacco isn't listed as an ingredient.
