This is a must have for coconut lovers! The coconut is not very creamy, it's like icy coconut milk. The florals stay in the background but I do get wafts of plumeria (one of my favorites) and a little pikake, I'm happy they're well-blended and not sharp. I do get a similarity to Snow White but this is a lighter, cooler, refreshing, tropical summer version of it. It's the perfect summer scent! I will be needing a few more bottles!

This is so interesting! I get no butter whatsoever, but it is smooth, so maybe that's were the name comes from. Resins and black musk? At times I think I get some black opium. I don't know, I'm somewhat lost with this one. There's something else here I don't think I've ever smelt before. Dark, masculine and strong. At times it reminds me of Romanti.Goth but that one is much sweeter. It's not bad, on the right person it could really work. One of the darkest scents I've ever tried, it really does smell poisonous!

#68: This one is simple: Smokey Vanilla! Strong throw and longevity.

I got 3 Vanilla CT's: CT: Vanilla #67 - This ones a foody holiday type blend, I get: vanilla, spices (cloves especially), egg nog, cookie/cake, possibly some pumpkin too. Maybe a teeny bit of coffee? not too sure about the coffee. CT: Vanilla #110 - Foody, sugary, it smells slightly "pink" in the beginning, I starting get vanilla, cake (not buttery at all), berries (?), candy or something very sugary (but not candy-floss), maybe some nuts. When I first smelled it I thought it reminded me of the Confectionary prototype but after testing them together the proto is much more fruitier and sharper, this one is softer and not as "pink" after it settles on my skin. CT: Vanilla #191 - I'm lost with this one, it's my favorite of the 3 but I cannot figure out the notes. It's vanilla, with something tart, slightly citrusy, a bit dry, at times it reminds me of Anti-Saloon League but not as creamy, so maybe sassafras? I know I've smelt this before, but I can't remember it! I will edit if I figure it out. Tons of throw!

Hands down the PRETTIEST label I've ever seen! Getting lots of sweet pea and cotton candy, it settles into a slightly creamy, acai berry (reminds me of Australian Copperhead!), tart, sweet pea cotton candy scent, with a hint of lemon blossom in the background. I find it surprisingly complex. It takes me back a little to my younger years when I used to wear the B&BW Sweet Pea line. Just lovely!

In the bottle and for the first minute on my skin it was very mentholy, herbal and boozy (I believe from the Angelica), but most of that quickly went away (thankfully)and the coconut amped along with some black pepper... but it finally settled into mainly boozy coconut on me. I find it very beachy, like a boozy coconut drink.

Initially I get mostly cardamom, it reminds me a little of Khrysopelex (which was basically cardamom SN on me, but that one was much stronger!), after a few minutes I start getting the sugary tonka and vanilla. For a while it's vanilla, tonka and cardamom in equal parts, the cardamom wins for the first half-hr, then the vanilla takes over. The vanilla and tonka here is lovely but too light (the cardamom doesn't let it shine IMO) and doesn't have much throw. I hardly get any Egyptian Musk , I get hints of it every now but not enough to stand out. I was really looking forward to this one!

I love Electric Youth, it's one of my favorites! Everytime I've seen it for sale I just have to buy it, I think I have 10 bottles of it around. Jean Nate was also popular, I remember. I'd recommend: Bon Vivant, Hollywood Babylon, Velvet Unicorn, and Velvet Pink Kitty. These two are hard to find, but Glitter or Stardust might work too.

For a spicy and creamy floral I'd recommend Three Brides. I think most carnation, gardenia/tiare blends are usually a little spicy. Some more florals I find spicy: The Witch Queen, Dolce Still Nuovo, Red Rose, Et Lux Fuit, Bakeneko (though the cherry blossom is hardly noticeable on me it's such a nice spicy blend) and Tiki Queen. I've been compiling a list of creamy florals I've tried (most of them contain vanilla), I don't know if it'll be helpful to you since you are looking for a both spicy and creamy blends, but here it is in case: Chaste Moon 05' The Oval Portrait Signior Dildo Echo Gaoler's Daughter Victoria Voyeurs Among Cherry Blossoms Haloes Cheshire Moon Staged Moon Landing Lady Lilith Defututa (find it a little spicy because of the champaca) Litith Victoria Vasakasajja (another one with champaca) Penis Admiration Monna Vanna Marae Lyonesse plus the ones you mentioned!

Moroccan rose, king mandarin, red sandalwood, Egyptian amber, orchid, carnation, benzoin, tonka, calla lily, vanilla flower. Slightly creamy, spicy florals, with some sweetness, slight tartness and almost "foodiness" from the mandarin. The florals here are well-blended, but I'm getting slightly more rose and carnation. The amber stays in the background and works really well here. A nice floral blend, and thankfully the flowers are not turning soapy on me!

Initially all I got was watery, slightly plastic flowers. After a few minutes, I start amping the verbena and honeysuckle, ah, now I get the lavender. This is very well-blended but the notes start amping in stages, very interesting. After 10min it's reminding me a lot of those old-fashioned floral colognes, I've smelt many times. Fresh, citrusy, watery florals, it's pretty, but not for me.

At first, I get soft rose, a little incense, and sandalwood, the honey is almost non-existent, but does add a slight sweetness. My skin starts to really amp the sandalwood, and I'm hardly getting any rose now or incense now, it's mostly, dry, slightly sweet sandalwood. This a nice feminine sandalwood blend, but I find it too similar to other blends I own.

I get lots of pine, snow (the slushy type), just a smidge of dirt and greenery, and I'm also getting something mildly sweet. One of the best snow scents I've tried and wonderfully evocative! I just love this and though I have tons of snow scents, I will definitely need to find least a partial bottle to add to my collection. Fantastic throw and longevity too!

This was is pure sugary lemongrass on me, and I'd forgotten how much I dislike lemongrass. Not for me!

This is like a softer, and feminine Nosferatu.

This starts of very tart (I think it's lime and bergamot), with some metallic, and aquatic notes. I also get some lavender, musk (black?), with a bit of something green and fresh. On my skin I don't find it sweet at all, and it's very masculine, and bit dry. I've smelt something similar to this before. It vaguely reminds me of an men's aquatic citrus cologne, like "Cool Water" with citrus. Personally, I don't like this at all. I usually enjoy wearing masculine type scents, but something here (I think it's the aquatic or metallic note ) is is really amping and starting to give me a headache. Strong throw and longevity. One of the handful of bpal scents I've ever had to wash off.

This starts off being a very foody blend. I get lots of cake, bread (reminds me of the cake in Huesos de Santo), with a little citrusy tea and cucumber in the background, it's very delicious smelling. As it dries, I quickly start amping bergamot, a little more cucumber, and unfortunately the cake starts to take the back-seat, but it's still there. I think I'm getting the biscuit scent now, or more of a bread scent. This dries to a very fresh, slightly citrusy, bready scent! I'm surprised with how much I like this! I only wish the cake would stay a bit longer on the skin. Doesn't have too much throw.

This smells very fresh, there's a green type fruit in here, I'm getting something watery (not "aquatic" though), and also a little vanilla and sandalwood. It reminds me a little bit of a creamier, sweeter and fruitier Host of the Air. As it settles on my skin I start immediately amping a lot of smokiness, which I think is incense. .and now it's reminding me of Devil's Night 09'. It settles into sugary, slightly foody, creamy incense with fruitiness and what smells to me like grass. Very interesting... I don't usually like these type of scents but this is really nice! Amazing throw and longevity!

Totally, totally, the creaminess in Jingo Kogo and Glowing Vulva but this is the slightly younger version. I get sweet and creamy vanilla, sandalwood, and hints of honey. The sandalwood becomes a little drier and more pronounced with time, I'm also getting a slight hint of mint (but only when I smell it up close). This is wonderful!

This reminds me of Playing with a Loaded Gun, with the "scorched ginger musk" (but without the effervescence), some red musk, slightly sweet and tart fruit with some smokiness, and earthiness.

They all look awesome! Thanks for posting them! I think I may need to get them all just for the labels.

Dark and spicy! I'm getting soft, slightly sweet smoky cloves, a little musk and patchouli. It's a dark and mysterious blend. Not for me, but I'm glad I got to try it!

Mmm..to me this is pure buttery pound cake, sweet ripe blackberries and whipped cream.

This reminds me of a softer, warmer, not as "woodsy" Ivanushka. I do find Buck Moon to be more wearable than Ivanushka.

This is a very creamy "white" floral scent. I get creamy vanilla, lily, rice flower (sometimes this can go a little "hairspray" on me but not here) and a little spiciness from the carnation. After a few minutes, I start getting the honeysuckle, and the carnation starts amping a little more. This is really beautiful! I only wish it had more throw, it's very much a skin scent for me.
