Inez!! Holy cats I put it on at 9 am today, and I can still smell it wafting around me.

This reminds me of when I would walk to school in the morning as a kid. I used to walk through the library park everyday. Through the park, I would pass by eucalyptus trees, and cypress trees early in the morning when the morning dew has perfumed the air with their essence. This reminds me exactly of this pastime, only with an added jolt of minty freshness. It's green, but not a "grassy" green. It's also not a headache inducing green, which can sometimes happen with overly floral, or overly grassy scents. As it dries down, I'm picking up more of the juniper note layered with just a touch of mint. It's refreshing and therapeutic, and I really quite enjoy this one! I might experiment and wear it more often. The more I sniff my wrist, the more it grows on me.

Holy cow this is freaking amazing! Ok so, its not foody at all. It's a beautiful honeyed wood scent with the juiciness of sugarcane pouring through. I would've thought that something with honey and molasses would = fail on me, but hoooooboy was I wrong! There's almost a citrus vibe rolling around making it sparkle. I'm in love and will be requiring a full bottle of this!! This has moved into my top 10 GC's!

OH YUM! This is delicious! I am not a foody person at all, but I love the right sugary mix. I can’t do burnt sugars or caramel at all, but this mix of super yummy and fruity pop rocks makes me a happy girl. I can see now how this can be “effervescent”! It’s like sucking on a fruity flavored sucker! Loveeeeee it!

I've let this age for about a year now, and tis the season and all that fuss, so I broke out ye ol' Jacobs Ladder 2008. This has aged beautifully! This is the amber I love so much. Earthy, dark, sweet, warm, and full. It's hovering on the edge of powdery, but it doesn't fail... it stays right on that border of rich and beautiful. If you like Inez, you'll love Jacobs Ladder. It has that same sensual amber note.

Sin, Vixen, Lust, and now... Lust V7! Holy crab cakes Lust V7 is made of swoon!!!! Too bad it's hard to find... it's worth hoarding.

Wow this is one of the most complex scents I've had the pleasure of testing! Applied, I take a sniff and pick out lemons, rose petals, incense (must be the sandalwood!), bright florals (jasmine and waterlily maybe?) with a natural fruit sweetness to keep the florals from going whoa on me. Simply incredible!!!

This is a lovely manly incense scent. Cedar and sandalwood for sure. It's slightly sweet and dry, and I smell more myrrh than patchouli. As it dries down, the myrrh seems to be calming down a little bit, but the cedar is still popping at the top. Cedar is one of those notes that I've grown to love over time. Very nice, and it would smell excellent on the manimals.

Once this hits my skin, I get a huge wiff of sexy spicy pumpkin and amber laced orange. I was scared of the pumpkin, but earlier reviews helped me to look past that bit of foody scariness. As it dries down, the orange and spices really pop out, and start to overshadow the butteryness of the pumpkin (which is fine with me!!!) It's just a little foody, but I think I can handle it, as the rest of the notes make this a bottle of sexy win!!

Red sandalwood, vanilla, rosewood, osmanthus, and white peach. This is truly lovely indeed. Slightly peach, with slight sandalwood/rose undertones. The vanilla isn't too apparent. It seems as if the vanilla is present only to sweeten everything up just a little. Refreshing and very feminine. I like it

How amazing!! Dragons blood is usually too sweet and cloying for me, and vetiver is a complete note of doom. Combined together, and including notes of win (cinnamon), Serpent's Kiss becomes a new favorite. The cinnamon is able to overshadow the dragons blood by just a little bit, and the vetiver is just around to lend a smokey atmosphere. I'll be wearing this more often!

Finally! A lavender I can wear and love!! Usually lavender goes all wonky on me. I love lavender, but usually it doesn't love me. Also, lotus can sometimes become a sickly sweet bubble gum. This is a wonderful exception! There's no hint of sickly bubblegum, and no hint of manly lavender. It's a perfect combination of the two and I am in teh love!! Soft, sweet, a touch spicy, with a hint of the lavender that I've always wanted to love.

I love LSJ! I am not a foodie at all either. It's soft black anise sweetened with dab of liquid sugar, and warmed by a touch of non burny cinnamon. I smell delicious, but in a non edible way, which is why this foody works on me.

I simply adore The Girl. It's an ethereal scent...it's soft and fuzzy and the best part is that it isn't severely floral at all. This is what I wanted Snow White to smell like. You can definitely smell the amber, but it's such a soft radiant amber that It just sweetens everything up. I smell the likeness to vanilla.. but not food at all. More like a vanilla orchid. This is the perfect scent to wear when you want to enable somebody.

Yum!! It's sweet sugary apricots for sure, but with some sort of earthyness creeping around the edges. It's almost like hay, or oats or something. LOVE IT!!

... Yuzu, kaki, and mikan with cherry blossom and black tea. when applied, it's citrus with some cherry blossoms floating around. As it dries down, the cherry blossom is becoming much more apparent, with just the citrus fruit floating around behind it. The black tea darkens it just a touch, making it almost drinkable. I love this one and will adore my imp!

On initial application, it was very fruity... but almost immediately some florals budge their way in and take the center stage. It's very clean... a little too clean.. so clean that I'm getting the fearful dish soap too. I try to usually give oils the benefit of the doubt and not condemn them to a life in the cleaning supplies category, so this will be the first time that I say "yes.. I smell dish soap and even their bubbles" but only when I huff When I wave my hand by my face, it's clean grapefruit. I hope that the patchouli will help this age into something wonderful because it has potential.

when smelling this, all I'm thinking of is just how well this will age. You can smell it wanting to get all sexy on your arm. It's red musk, and clove, and orchid. The vanilla isn't too apparent, but I know it will show it's pretty face in about 6 months. This is Grindhouse, without the mimosa. I can't wait until until this smooths out and becomes teh sex and stuff.

Daya is truly a golden scent. It's very full, warm, and with a sweet touch of either sandalwood or amber. I can smell a light touch of something fruity underneath. I am not sure what it is. It could be plum (as cinderfallen has noted). I do detect a similar plum as to the plum found in Hellion. There's also spices floating around. I adore this, and will use my imp sparingly!

oh yes om nom nom nom! This is a yummy custard cake with pinapple rings on top. Tart, and sweet. Just like everyone else pointed out, there's a cherry on top of the cake as well. It doesn't morph much, but it lasts quite awhile. It's also giving me the munchies. Smells really yummy!!! It's funny because foodies and I usually do not get along, however, I'd give this foodie a chance!

Once applied, I get a sharp herbal scent with the sweetness of apple peels. It's not very juicy, and it's actually a bit manly! The amber isn't too sweet, the apple is a bit dry, and the herbs are sharp. It's nice, but not for me.

Once applied, it's green, without being "grassy". It's got that salty sweet quality to it. For some reason, I get a floral note floating around, making it sharp. It almost wants to go out of control, however it's being held in check by the salty air. No wine really.. just sea air, and sweet green tree's and ferns. It's not really me, but it's evocative of an island paradise, so I'll keep this baby around when I want to imagine a vacation.

Yum!!! This is great! Apples with spices, mellowed out with the creamy note. I am happy that the milk note is not too milky at all. Also, I am generally a foodie hater, so I would count this as an exception as it's not too foodie at all. This reminds me of Samhain, but a touch creamier, and a bit softer. As it dries, it fades a little, but it's still lovely and it retains that creamy spicy apple quality.

Thank you bheansidhe for passing this beauty on to me! I love love love this!!! Spicy warm musk with a touch of orange all swirled together to provide you with the experience of drinking a nice warm cup of tea in front of the fire. It's as simple as that, but what I get wafting towards me makes me want to cross my eyes and melt. The amber isn't powdery at all. It's more of a foundation to bring all the notes together and sweeten them up. I'm going to need more, I already know it!

I'm usually not one for aquatics, greens, or florals, but since this has a base of SO I decided to give it a shot. I am sooo happy to have found my bottle because I am in teh love! It's not green at all, its got a subtle salty breeze quality floating around the sweetness of SO. It's the perfect combination of spices, sweetness, and earthy salty air. It isn't too potent, but at the same time it doesn't fade to quickly. It's soft, and just beautiful! I will need more of this one!!
