at first: lots of sweet notes layred on top of each other. on: a warm sweet scent. i can't really pick anything out aside from the amber. lovely stuff. 1 hour later: the strawberry and vanilla are coming forward now. 3 hours later: still lots of vanilla and strawberry. i can catch a bit of heliotrope and cherry in the background. overall: this worked much better on me than any of the other strawberry-containing blends i've tried. it's definitely a very fun scent.

at first: cypress. on: lots of fresh juniper and cypress, with just a hint of rose. 1 hour later: chamomile and rose, mostly. 2 hours later: generally woodsy. 5 hours later: vaguely woody. overall: this just isn't for me.

at first: a sweet lavender blend. on: sweet lotus and a bit of lavender. 1 hour later: spicy lotus. 2 hours later: a very like, powdery lotus. 5 hours later: a very light lotus. overall: this was an interesting lotus blend, but not something i could see myself grabbing often.

at first: lots of lemon verbena with a bit of patchouli. on: lemon verbena and dusty sandalwood, with some patchouli giving it an earthy base. 1 hour later: all cedar. 2 hours later: cedar, cedar, cedar. 5 hours later: um...cedar? overall: stupid skin + cedar = lots of cedar.

at first: definitely a dark, languorous scent. on: floral and dark. very dark. 1 hour later: earthy and dirty, but not in a good way. 2 hours later: just generally dark and a bit floral. 3 hours later: quietly floral. overall: i think this suits the name very well, but it didn't really work for me.

at first: sharp and almost citrussy. on: lots and lots of vetiver and some musk. 1 hour later: sweeter, but with the tang of vetiver. 2 hours later: warm musk. 3 hours later: warm, sweet musk. overall: i'm glad that the vetiver didn't override everything in this blend, but it still didn't do much for me.

at first: a bit sweet, but like the inside of the stem of a plant when it has just been crushed. on: amazing. this is so lush and green. 1 hour later: green and a bit sweet. still lovely, but not as fresh. 2 hours later: an almost-sweet, slightly-odd green scent. 3 hours later: a sweet, warm, green scent. overall: this is really interesting, but i don't think i'd really wear it much.

at first: dry, with something slightly burnt in the background. on: dry, but with an earthy sweetness to it. 1 hour later: dry and a bit burnt. like the smell of leaves burning far in the distance. 2 hours later: this smells almost floral. very light and dry, though. 3 hours later: a very dry floral. overall: this is an interesting scent, but not something i would wear.

at first: tons of sweet almond. on: almond, cinnamon, and some bright heliotrope. 1 hour later: very faint. a bit floral, perhaps? 2 hours later: very light. powdery and sweet, like sugar. 3 hours later: light and sweet. overall: this is pretty, but my skin just eats it.

at first: a wonderful balance of rose, lemon, adn apple. lovely. on: lots of dusty rose with lemon and a touch of apple. 1 hour later: an odd apple / rose combo. i'm not sure about this one anymore. 2 hours later: mostly rose. 3 hours later: a slightly soapy rose. overall: this is nice at first, but i hae other rose blends that smell better on me.

at first: clean. i can't think of how else to describe this. on: floral with a bit of something almost citrussy. very nice. 1 hour later: soft and soapy. pretty and light. 2.5 hours later: lighter. this reminds me of dryer sheets. 3.5 hours later: soft and a bit sweeter. almost like a lemony sort of candy. overall: a good, light scent for summer.

at first: very foody and sweet with the slightest hint of spice. on: more chocolate now and more spice. 1.5 hours later: more foody, but still spicy. 3 hours later: a bit of chocolate ans spice. overall: this is ok on me, but i prefer beaver moon for my foody fix.

at first: a sweet, berry pastry. on: very sweet berries. almost pop tart-ish. 1.5 hours later: very faint. still berryish pastries. 3 hours later: pretty much gone. overall: this is just ok on me, i was hoping for something a bit more intensely fruity.

at first: light and sweet: coconut and milk, with a bit of shea butter. on: amazing. very soft and comforting, like the softest white blanket you can imagine. 1 hour later: still soft. water and lovely. i adore this. overall: i'm not going to give this a "full" review because all that really counts is that this is the most serene, comforting blend i've ever smelled. i am thrilled that i decided to go for a 5ml right away. i can't imagine a situation or season this wouldn't be perfect for. it is achingly beautiful, and is a close second to snow white in my list of favorites.

at first: plum and flowers. on: the carnations in this are very, very spicy on me. the plum is definitely there, too. half an hour later: very, very spicy. 2 hours later: this is lasting pretty well, but it's still just spicy. overall: i'm not sure what was up with the carnations in this, but their spicyness totally overwhelmed the blend.

at first: dirt. on: dirt. not as dry and black as graveyard dirt. half an hour later: odd. when i sniff this on my wrist, i get a pain in my temple. 2 hours later: dirt and something papery. overall: this just isn't for me. i definitely like graveyard dirt much more.

at first: very fruity and dark. on: omg! tons of banana. i've been looking for a sweet banana scent and this definitely has that. there are some other notes, but they're in the background. 1 hour later: fruity, but with banana still leading the way. lovely. 2 hours later: a lush, fruity, hot, sweet scent. i love this. 5.5 hours later: faintly fruity. overall: i adore this! it's definitely the banana scent i've been looking for.

at first: sweet lime and a bit of apple. on: lots of mint, with some apply and lime. very interesting and nice. half an hour later: lots of mint. 1 hour later: very, very sharp and soapy. not good. 2.5 hours later: still sharp. overall: my skin just did terrible things to this blend.

at first; very fresh and light. on: mint, musk, and a green freshness. very light and bright. 1.5 hours later: a pale, masculine cologne. 4.5 hours later: soft and musky. overall: this is very pretty, but i have oher scents that are like it but better on me.

at first: very fresh, light, and green. on: a bit sweet, with a tart edge, and very, very green. there's also an odd, play-doh note to it. half an hour later: an odd, sour, green scent. 1 hour later: still weird. i really don't like this. overall: i'm not sure what is up with this blend, but it smells really odd (in a bad way) on me.

at first: a fresh, clean, and light floral. on: very spring-like. this is also quite aquatic, while still being floral and fresh. 1.5 hours later: sweeter. the musk is coming forward. it's much less aquatic and more of a light floral/musk blend. 2.5 hours later: sweet, powdery musk. very pretty. 5.5 hours later: faintly musky and floral. overall: this is a really, really pretty oil, but i don't think i'd gravitate toward it often.

at first: spicy and delicious. on: spicy and foody. this is making me hungry. 4 hours later: fresh and gingery. still a bit sweet, too. overall: this is really gorgeous stuff. i'm glad i was able to get an imp of it, but i'm a bit wary of the spicyness of it.

at first: sweet and earthy. definitely lots of patchouli. on: some bitter citrus, some sweet berries, and very dark patchouli. 1.5 hours later: sweet and earthy. there's a nice fruity base to this, too. lovely stuff. 5 hours later: soft and vaguely fruity. 7 hours later: lighter and still fruity. overall: this is very nice, but i don't think i'd wear it often.

at first: something sweet and dark...almost chocolatey. on: tons of carnation. nice, fresh carnation. there are other sweet and floral notes swirling around, too. 1.5 hours later: tons of honey. sweet and heavy. overall: this lasted really, really well. it was sweet and gorgeous. i'll have to decide whether i want to get a bottle.
