This is very fall! I get the apple but it a very spiced up apple, and the dusty wheat for sure. Hints of hickory. Also every now and then I get hints of bamboo and a definite tea note. It's actually a very beautiful scent but I'm not sure I could see myself wearing it that often. I love how complex it is though! (without being overwhelmingly so)

My first and only Chaos Theory ordered. DCCCI (801) I'm so nervous because my nose can be weird but I'm going to give this my best shot... DIRT. Lots of dirt. In the bottle that's all I could smell. I've never tried any of the dirt blends before but that's got to be what it is. It fades a little on the skin but it's still very prominent. There's definitely an undercurrant of something warm. Musk? Amber? Grr, this is where my nose fails me. Wait! I think it's vanilla. Now that it's sitting on me a bit longer. Vanilla Musk Dirt. Choas indeed! I personally don't think I can pull off the dirt note so this is going into swaps/sales.

Smells like...a garden in the rain. I definitely get the fresh water scent but there's strong florals as well, although I can't pick out which specific floral it is. Turns slightly masculine at the end. Nice but not really grabbing me.

Strongly floral. I'm honestly unable to tell if it's jasmine or honeysuckle...I would assume it's both. There is a very slight hint of spices in the background. And an extra note that I can't place that I don't find very pleasant...like decayed wood or something odd like that. Probably just my odd chemistry!

A bright aquatic with a dash of melon. I'm usually not big on the ozone/aquatic scents but I rather like this one. I'm goign to keep the imp and try it again...may be my first aquatic bottle!

At first there was a fair amount of rosemary but it died down very quickly, Now I'm left with plain rose. Very single note on me, and note my favorite type of rose either. No sign of the orange blossom anywhere on me!

I have to agree with someone earlier who mentioned that there seems to be a citrus note to this scent. Unlike the other BPAL peach scents I've tried. Definitely moss in the background. I'm having a hard time describing the overall scent though...it's actually not very peachy to me at all. It more refreshing citrus but with a definite musk in there giving it a warm feeling. I love my weird skin chemistry.

Stately, bold, aristocratic and cruel. Opulent galbanum and amber, glistening peach, and a bouquet of French florals, with a merciless undertone of jonquil and heartless vetiver. This peach is certainly not glistening to me. It's a peach that has been throw on the grown and covered in a layer of dirt. Not that it's rotting or anything but the vetivert comes out rather strong on me. There is a glimpse of fruit underneath but this is much more earthy than I was expecting (but then again my review seems to line up with no one else's so perhaps it's just my skin chemistry!).

This is lovely! It reminds me a fair bit of Aglaea (mostly because of the strong peach). However, the combination of other notes ensure that this scent doesn't become too sweet. It's fruity and feminine, but not extremely light. Really nice, I may have to get a bottle of this when it's closer to spring.

In the beginning actually got a very strong incense note which is odd. Later, it turned into a rather dark rose sense. Not doing much for me, off to the swap pile!

At the beginning it was mostly melon. But as time wore on it came into contact with the florals. All fruits and flowers. It's nice and pretty (not what would've some to mind with the title), but it's not terribly exciting. There is a dash of spice in the background, but I have to put my nose very lose to my arm to smell it.

Exactly as described! Can smell the pear, plumeria, and champagne. Light, happy, and rather girly. Good cheer indeed! I'm usually not terribly girly in my scents but I'm going to have to give this a second shot. Very pretty!

I was expecting this to be a lot more vanilla than it was. The spices are definitely sominant. I smell like incense, which is very not me. I was hoping this would be more creamy, vanilla with just a hint of spice to liven it up....but it's really spice with a bit of vanilla, and spices that to me are very incense-y. Fine for those who like incense but it just makes me want to sneeze. Drat, and I was so looking forward ot this scent!

Both airy and aquatic. Overall I enjoy it but there's a sharp note in it that I can't identify. I think I'll have to pass although I like that it's both light and strong.

Mmm, lovely! Aquatic and citrust with a touch of floral. Light, refreshing, but a bit like dryer sheets. I'm going to have to test the imp once more before I can decide to keep it or not.

A floral mix of violet and gardenia. I'm enjoying the violet but sadly my skin amps gardenia and morphs gardenia...so it's now turning a bit foul smelling. However, before it started morphing on my skin it was really beautiful. I would suggest this to anyone who likes florals (and can wear gardenia).

Very woodsy with an herbal element. I think it fits Medea's sorceress side very well, but it's not my type of scent at all. I actually don't get any sort of floral/fruity element to it, just dry forest floor.

The lotus in this really overwhelms everything else. It's a pretty floral but nothing too amazing on me. There is a hint of amber in the background...but otherwise it's all lotus on me.

I have to agree with an earlier review that this smelled like the red jolly ranchers at first. The scent actually remains but some of the other notes come out to play (although they stay in the background). I can smell the amaretto in the background which is lovely. Very playful scent, but the jolly rancher part is a bit too dominant for me to completely fall in love with the scent.

Definitely smell the rose and jasmine, but there's also a mossy note that I can't really place. It gives it an earthy, gritty element which just isn't me.

Well this is mostly strawberry on me...not so much the champagne note (which I get better in a scnet like Aglaea). I was hoping for a refreshing fruity scent and this technically falls into that but it's a bit too "young girl" for me. The strawberry is very sweet and is almost to the point of smelling like a sweet tart. I see this more for a young girl and I'm simply not that young. I actually almost get a sticky feeling with it...maybe it's more like a red jolly rancher?

Wet: Wet almonds...touch of milk. Dry: Such a creamy rich blend! Almons, coconut, honey, milk...I don't get much fig or sandalwood. I was hoping for lot sof fig because I love it but this is still a wonderful blend! Definitely getting a bottle!

At the beginning, it's strong lavendar. It quickly fades though and the spices come out. I'm left with spice...I want to say cinnamon? Comes off a bit single note on me.

It actually comes off as smelling a bit....dusty? Also has the metallic tinge others have mentioned. The vetiver was strongest in the beginning but fades a little bit. Otherwise it's mostly lavender. When I hold my arm close to my nose I can get the violet, but it doesn't waft like the other notes. A very unique blend but not for me.

Very powdery. The orchid is a bit heavy, and overall the scent is on the sweet side. It's a darker side of sweet vanilla. Not me at all but I can see this working on certain people.
