Got the medicinal mintiness and then after about a half hour the high mountain meadow. It is a refreshing scent. I like Talvikuu better through.

A scent inspired by Beatrice, Rappaccini’s delicate, beautiful, innocent and deadly daughter. A fragile, winsome, poisonous blend of rare, precious and graceful flowers, rich blossoms and spicy perfumes that passes heavily, as a broken heart, across the borders of Time. Same for me. Drat. A powdery vanilla at the end with spicy flowers just detectable underneath. On first application it was a bit too overwhelming - I felt like Beatrice in the garden, must read!

I want to bake when I wear this. Gingerbread. Lots of it. Although the cake smell is not gingery at all - gingerbread is just my comfort-baking standard.

Sol Invictus is sunny like the winter sun: bright, but not hot.

... Their scent is a mishmash of snow, dirt, Icelandic moss, marsh felwort, and the smushed petals of buttercups and moorland spotted orchids, with the barest hint of the scent of pilfered Christmas pastries. On me it is foresty at first, and then the wonderful pastry foodie bit comes on in equal measure. Love both scents together. A stranger told me I smelled wonderful and asked what it was....

Lovely dark musky and sexy. Not too strong, medium "throw" - okay for me at work after about an hour (my commute). Definitely an autumn scent, my favorite season. Fades a bit too soon on me. Love the smokiness. First order, so far 2 out of 4 winners (liked the Apothecary as well).
