    Apple I

    My favorite of the apples! This was the first perfume with the lab's goats milk note I tried, and I think I'm addicted - in addition to buying a bottle of Apple I (after a decant I went through very quickly), I also bought a bottle of My Baby and a Baby Goat unsniffed and loved that too! This scent on me is warm, sunny, apples on a farm. The apples are red, juicy and sweet, the vanilla cream and goat's milk add a lovely creaminess, and the oats and hay round it out to make it warm and comforting. Nothing about this smells fake to me at all, and I think it'll be lovely year-round.

    Round Dance

    Received my bottle in the mail from the lab yesterday, wearing Round Dance for the first time today, and I'm already in love. In the bottle, I smell sweet strawberries and some light florals (lavender and mild carnation). On my skin, it's really beautiful and fresh. This is well-blended with a relatively strong throw (especially for the first hour or two of wear), and in each sniff I get the fresh hay, the light florals, and a bit of fruity sweetness, all blended together to make a really pretty, fresh, outdoorsy smell that I adore. I can see how this might be headache-inducing for some, and I'll definitely need to be careful not to over-apply in the future, but it's really pretty.

    Liebeszauber

    Initially tried this as a decant from a Weenie circle, and although I was a bit torn (I liked it but wasn't sure it was my favorite of the decants I tried), the SO convinced me I needed a bottle, which I'm now terribly glad I have. On my skin, this is a sharp, spicy floral, on the dry side of things but with some warmth from the vanilla cream. I mostly get carnation, with a hint of something red and a hint of something lemony. The throw is relatively strong and it has staying power - I can put it on at 7am and still get a whiff when I get home after a long day. Funny story - I was recently wearing Liebeszauber on a day I went to the grocery store (within an hour or two of applying it). When the little old lady working there came to approve my transaction on the self-checkout, she immediately went "I smell cinnamon! What smells spicy?" I mentioned it might be my perfume, and she gave another sniff, then told me how lovely it smelled. Guess it's a winner!

    Boo

    Great scent for when I want to smell clean but a little bit sweet. I get exactly the notes on the bottle - clean laundry, fresh out of the dryer with a hint of dryer sheets, plus a bit of sugary sweetness. It lasts, but doesn't have a lot of throw - which is nice for work, when I don't want coworkers to be hit in the face with my perfume, but I want to smell nice.

    Red

    As someone who loves pink pepper and red berry notes in my perfume, this one was a must-have for me. It ended up pretty much as I expected - it's like an ever-so-slightly spicy red Kool-Aid scent, but somehow doesn't smell childish or artificial. I can see the comparison to Lawn Gnome, although Lawn Gnome is a bit creamier, and this is all fruit for me. On my skin, it doesn't hang around for long (maybe an hour or two before I can barely smell it when sniffing my wrist), but I love it so much that I'm willing to deal. Definitely a fun, fruity scent good for summer days, and perfect on days when I need a little boost in the morning to get going.

    Rogue

    Reviewing on behalf of my SO, who is not on the forum. As a big table gamer (40k), he was super-intrigued by all of the RPG blends. I got him imps of several, and while he does use Ranger, Orc, and Chaos occasionally, Rogue was the clear winner. On him it smells exactly as I'd expected - warm, soft, worn-in leather with just a tiny hint of hemp and rosin to round out the scent. It's super sexy and a little tough, and a great scent overall.
