My bottle of Onduris, much beloved, is almost gone, so I was glad to get this one to replace it. Indeed it is similar enough to supplant it, but it's not a mirror replacement. Still, snow, pine, it's all good.

This is like a florist's shop, as ReallyZeb said, but to me not overwhelming. It is strong though, which is good for me. Heady cut flowers, as if you can smell the stems. I do get the snow note as well. This one is fresh and nice, I can see this being good for work, it's clean. I was thinking it was going to be sort of like Winter Heavens which I love, but it's less green, more flowers and snow.

There is no culling...clearly... 51, green, lovely, perfumey in the best way

Delicious, I smell like an evil cookie. I love that Mother Shub, everything she bakes is good for me.

Yes. Just yes.

Buttery, red fruity, delicious cookie is delicious. Not getting too much mint though

I would say any of the Dawns, as long as you like rose. All of them are gorgeous. Dawn Mourning Victory smells like the inside of a florist's. Marie, a violet scent, or The Raven which is violet/vanilla. Grief which has hyacinth, lovely and not common.

[REDACTED] DRAGON Wipe-off marker on white board, 2012 This is [REDACTED]. He is a really, really, REALLY mean dragon. The meanest and greediest. He took the treasure with the gold. Now he's cracking into fire. Raw red ginger, pink pepper, red carnation, sweet clove, vetiver, heartwood cinnamon, and jasmine sambac. [Redacted] Dragon I cannot figure out what it is in the top note of this that makes me go Blergh! Stinky! if anyone can enlighten me? I almost think it's the ginger. But dried down this is amazingly fresh, and lovely. It doesn't smell Whoa Hippies in a Wizard's Store like some DBs (which I happen to love btw) but it smells fresh and airy, the carnation is very strong for me in this. I am glad I got this unsniffed, it's surprisingly Spring-like. I find that what I have tried so far in this series is very wearable, something you want to smell all day.

I think this is my favorite 13 to date. It is sweet rather than resiny, and has a note that my nose is reading as high sweet and red, oh pomegranite, duh...

I do smell my true love, cinnamon, and other things. But did I mention cinnamon? Seriously though, this is like the companion of the Damsel oil, very nice.

I love all of the Snows. I wear them in the summer, when I want to feel cool and wintery, and in fall and winter when it snows, just for synchronicity. I LOVE Blue Snowballs from last year, Dust of Snow from 2011? Cloth of Gold, but my favorite of all time, the sadly DCed Cloister Graveyard in the Snow.

sigh. I thought I would love this one so much, but it has a very heavy note of Blergh that smells sort of like the residue left in a marijuana pipe, not that I would know what that smelled like. It's the same Blergh as in Expressive Head, but EH has Fabulous that overcomes the Blergh, sadly this is too heavy on the Blergh. I will gift it to my son, he may or may not be familiar with that Blergh smell, I believe he likes it better than me.

I love this, it is really simple and good, and thankfully not like Tricksy at all to me.

This is gorgeous, glorious, so perfect love it love it love it. It's warm and pretty, creamy even, dries down to a nice rich powdery thing. Fantastic. The rewards of being nice...

omg what is this!!!!!!!!!???????? Sweet lovely almost flowery I really want this one, going to try to squeeze in another pre Xmas order just for it. Still smells like flowers to me

Sadly for me, Tricksy is boy juice. Going to give it to Mommy's Little Angel (don't worry he's 22) for Xmas. Howitzer, Und Wir Dachten der Totem is so very patchouli awesome. Not the dirty variety, or the old timey, more reddish to me.

This is gooey resin and delicious. Five out of five resin stars for me.

This is delicious and smokey, strangely I smell something sharp and fruity? Am I broken? I think this one will surely sate my frankincense love this season

gah this is so good, almost milky, spices are very low key, thankfully I do not smell like a Starbucks...

This is really beautiful wet and dry, surely a bottle purchase.

Whoa. So pretty and so change-y! Powder and myrrh, then pine and flowery so good!

Cookies!!!!! Salty spicey cookies!!!!!! Damn you Black Pheonix, pumpkin is now off the Bad List. This is my Pumpkin patch light, the one for sleeping. These Pumpkin Patches are such delicious cookies...they are nose crack...

this is awesome stuff so glad I got it!. I have been twice to the Phillipines, a beautiful lush place, that this scent does bring to mind. It's very heady, lush and white.

This smells just like the oil that I adore, and it's one of the best sprays I've used, it's so long lasting! I love this.

I'm surprise I never reviewed this, one of my favorite "foodies" of the Yules, it's sort of high pitched and grainy, but definitely in the warm spicey family. I don't smell the cherry at all, sadly
