    It smells like those gold and red incense my mom would light up to offer to our buddha statue. When I first applied it I got soft sandalwood with a powdery honey finish that had an earthy note from the oakmoss I suppose. But after an hour I'm left with sandalwood with a powdery hint to it. No black pepper but I have had a few sneezing fits today, maybe coincidence? After 8 hours the sandalwood has calmed down a bit but I do get a bit dizzy when I sniff too closely. I can see why some would think it's masculine, but it's really gender neutral to my nose. Great staying power and not too strong of a throw. I'll have to see how this one ages.

    Prunella

    8:30am Just applied this from an imp. It's very sweet and fruity and what I guess is suppose to be the floral note smells more like spice. It's surprisingly strong and has a good throw on me. Smells warm and cozy, I don't get the sour milk smell I usually get with cream. The plum note reminds me of Creed's Acqua Fiorentina? But the plum note in that one is sharper and can be offensive to my nose when I first spray it on. 10:00am It's drydown is nice, hasn't morphed too much. The plum has settled and and so has the spice/floral. I plum isn't as sweet but still very fruity. The cream note isn't distinguishable to me but it anchors the scent and gives the mellowness I'm sniffing. 2:30pm This is still lingering on my skin. Hasn't changed much since the drydown. I really like this scent. It's fresh, sweet, warm and cozy all at once for me. I think I might need a bottle of this.

    Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat

    In the imp it was all honeydew (or musk melon...) Applied at 8:15am On the skin, it's honeydew with a hint of green tea nothing else really shows up. Two hours later It's still melon, in a very yummy oh so awesome way. The green tea is coming out and giving it a nice well roundedness. I don't really smell any mint or lemon rind. Lunchtime 12pm The melon is slowly fading away and I'm left with a green tea scent, it smells floral, green.... almost powdery but not baby powder. Also getting a hint of other fruits but mostly sweet powdery floral. 5:30pm I'm still getting wafts of green tea when I go in for a sniff. This is a very pretty scent that starts out on me fresh and sweet and becomes something refreshingly cozy ( like the cool side of the pillow in the middle of the night) This is a definite keeper!
