I neither smell nor feel much cinnamon. Yay for that. The roses are lovely, and just this side of "so powdery they aggravate my allergies."
-
I have no clue what's in here. No idea whatsoever. I like the bright green oil and the herbal scent, but I can't be specific because my nose isn't very well trained.
-
Opium Poppy smells like baby oil. Exactly like I remember it, that is. Erk!
-
Green herbs slithering through mint, lime and lavender. The lavender in here is made sharp and medicinal by the mint. I don't really smell much lime. This one will need a few more tests before I know whether I like it or not.

This is such a guy scent! The leather makes me think of cowboys etc. I smell sage, but barely, and only a hint of lavender. The cedar is not at the forefront, but I can easily detect it.
-
I smell tea, honey, and ginger. I bet this would be nice and comforting when you're sick (provided your nose is working). I also smell something akin to Honey Nut Cheerios. Even though this is a honey scent, it's not fading to nothing! Miracles do happen.
-
I'm confused by this. I definitely smell vanilla, and a scent that's naggingly familiar - almost like root beer, but not as syrupy. Apparently, that's sassafras. I love root beer, but I don't want to smell like it.

Musty BPAL number 117. I wish I knew why my skin does such odd things to so many perfumes. The herbs are fairly strong in Gomorrah, but mustiness wins in the end.
-
The berries, wine, and currant make this a very heavy blend. It's wonderful. While I wouldn't say that it smells like Venom, it is similarly mature, sophisticated, and sensual. Lady Macbeth fades quickly on my skin.
-
This is a sweet, soft floral. Not very substantial, as I expected. It's lovely but on me, it's not anything special. Arachne fades quickly.
-
Very heavy on the ozone. Smells quite a bit like Sea of Glass, though with less lilac. Awesome!
-
This is a very dusty and fragile floral, like a sachet found in your grandma's attic. It's also soapy. Yay skin chemistry! Oh well.
-
I have no idea what's in this, but it smells like a great evil Christmas perfume. I know that's vague, but it makes sense in my head. Unfortunately, there's a faint tinge of plastic once it touches my skin, so no evil Christmas for me.
-
Burnt sugar. I have no idea what issue my nose has that anything even remotely foody smells scorched, but there you go.
-
This is too icy. I think it's the moonflower I loathe, because I have no issues with icy violets. It smells too sweet, as well.
-
This is pretty soapy. I blame white rose. The carnation is nice, but it doesn't hide the soapiness well enough for this to be wearable.
-
Cranberries are great! This is a wonderful fall scent. The musk is just barely there. Gorgeous.
-
Ooh, this is lovely! Light on the bergamot. Some rosewood, plenty of violet, not much musk or sandalwood, maybe some chamomile. Very delicate.
-
I swear I smell something like dragon's blood in here. I definitely smell rose and jasmine. The patchouli is not very prominent, yay! Nor is myrrh, which is usually too heavy for me. I love this. It's very sensual.
-
It's a good thing I like Lex Talionis out of the imp, because I dropped the cap on my laptop. Oops. On my skin, it's too dark and musty for my tastes, and it's not strong enough.
-
*blinkblink* This smells like musty dusty old latex and plastic. Usually it's gardenia that goes to plastic on me, and I still haven't figured out what note goes to latex. But, gah.
-
Vaguely floral. I don't really know what cactus flowers smell like, but from now on that's what I'm going to think. Unfortunately, as this sits on my skin, it takes on a tinge of latex.
-
I can't pick out any individual notes. This smells like really old but still somehow pungent potpourri that's covered in dust. Ew.
-
I smell mulled wine and rotting leaves. Or else burning leaves, maybe. It's very autumnal, if you're into that kind of thing. Unfortunately, I'm just not.
