This is a lovely scent- it's very "golden", as others have said. It smelt a little antiseptic in the vial- I'm guessing that's the pine- but it's ended up beautiful almost creamy vanilla on my skin. Wonderful!
-
I've been searching for a rose scent that's not too powerful, and this is absolutely spot-on! Just what I was looking for, finally! It has good throw as well- I didn't much oil! Really beautiful, especially if you're looking for a sweeter rose scent.
-
This is a beautiful scent. It smells just like a sweet I used to eat as a kid called Parma Violets. On my skin, it doesn't change very much- which is a good thing, since it's perfect! Absolutely lovely.
-
I loved this in the vial- beautifully woody and minty. However, as with most mint-based scents, my skin ate all traces of the mint and left me with a scent similiar to moss on a rainy day. It wasn't unpleasant, it's just not for me.
-
As other people have said, this is exactly like chocolate brownies. It's gorgeous in the vial, and doesn't change at all when it hits my skin, even over time. But, while I do like foody scents, I don't think this one is for me. It's just a bit TOO sweet.
-
In the vial, this smelt like butter to me, weirdly. But once I applied it, I was hit by a gorgeous scent of peach with a small amount of pumpkin. After a while, it's settled down into a spicy peachy pumpkin, and it's GOOD.

Orgiastic mayhem in the extreme: sweet strawberry and orange blossom distorted by carnation, black poppy and hibiscus. I didn't really like this in the vial, but I gave it a go regardless. I try everything once! On my skin to begin with, it was very floral, which I dislike. It stayed that way for a while, and when I was tempted to wash it off, it did a complete 180. I smell like strawberry sherbet, my husband keeps threatening to lick my arm, and I'm suddenly very very happy with this scent!
-
This is absolutely beautiful. In the vial, it's melon, with a hint of something else I can't make out- I'm inexperienced at this! On my skin, it's very very melony, but that's fine with me! As it dries down, it's like a melon tropical smoothie. I went to visit my mum and she said "oh- you smell tropical!" as I walked in, which I'm going to take as a compliment!

In the bottle: It smells like a particular brand of soap I used to use when I was younger- the name escapes me. It's quite a cold scent- I can't smell any fruit, though. On skin wet: I can definitely smell the orchid. I can't smell much else right now, and it's quite a light scent. Dried down: Ah, the fruit's starting to come out now. Not very much, but it's there at least, now. It's a lovely mix of fruit and floral- just right. I think I have a new favourite!
-
In the bottle: Pears! Sweet pears! Oh, I so want to eat that. That's absolutely gorgeous. There's a touch of floral in there, too, but I can't pick out what it is. I'm inexperienced at floral scents. On skin wet: It's mostly musk on me right now- everything else has been eaten. Waiting for the drydown to hope something else comes through! Dried down: It's a very sweet floral- a tinge of pear, with a light musky tinge. I don't usually wear florals so I can't tell yet if this is something I'd wear, but it's certainly a beautiful scent. I think I'll wear it out today and see how I feel, because it is so so beautiful.
-
In the bottle: I smell this and think of doves- the name is very good. It's a beautiful light scent- I can smell lavender in there, but I can't indentify anything else. On skin wet: Lavender soap. I hope it begins to fade to just lavender, but I'm not having much luck lately with scents that turn to soap. Dried down: It hasn't faded- the soap smell is stronger now. Time to wash it off
-
In the bottle: This reminds me of Tamora in the bottle. It smells peachy to me, even though there's no peach in it! On skin wet: I can smell the wine over anything else right now- it's very strong. It's not unpleasant, though, strangely- I tend to find scents with alcohol in them slightly overpowering, usually. Dried down: Soap. That is such a shame, because this is beautiful in the bottle and on my skin wet.
-
In the bottle: Cherry Tunes! I don't know if they're a UK only thing, but just in case, they're a delicious type of sweets you eat when you have a cold. Which has just reminded me I haven't seen them in forever... Hmm. Anyway! On skin wet: Not another fruit scent that wants to turn to soap...! I need to work out what that is doing that, damn it! This time it did it instantly as well. I didn't even get a single hint of anything else before it turned. Dried down: Soap. Again. Argh...
-
Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits. This is the 2005 version. In the bottle: I can't pick anything out on this- perhaps maple syrup? It's very very strong, though. On skin wet: Yup, exactly like maple syrup. It's very overpowering. Dried down: Burnt butter popcorn, oh dear. Time to wash this off!

In the bottle: Vanilla mint, just as described! It smells like something I eat at Christmas that I don't remember the name of. Argh! That's going to bug me now. On skin wet: The "thing I eat at Christmas" smell is even stronger! I THINK it's mint wafers or something. It's delicious smelling, though. Dried down: Finally, a mint scent that my skin doesn't eat! It's a gorgeous vanilla mint- the mint isn't as strong as I'd like, but even if it dries out completely throughout the day, the vanilla it's left is still lovely.
-
In the bottle: Cherries and cream! Mmm! On skin wet: Sugared cherries and red fruits. There's something else coming through that smells a bit like alcohol, too, though I could be wrong. Dried down: It smells "new toy" plastic, with a hint of cherry. It's also overly-sweet on my skin. I wanted this one to work, but alas...
-
In the bottle: Mm, that's so nice I could eat it. The name is very true! A mix of three lovely cakes. On skin wet: I want to lick my arm- that smells so good. The vanilla is strongest, with a hint of berries. I had my husband smell it and he said it actually made his mouth water Fantastic- I couldn't ask for more from a foody scent. Dried down: It smells exactly the same on dry down, how unusual for me! It's gorgeous- I want to eat me. And it's making me hungry
-
In the bottle: Initially, it smells like black tea and then the ginger hits. This smells like a particular type of ginger biscuit I adored as a teenager- yum! On skin wet: It smells like honey tea, with a hint of something that I'm guessing is the linen. Dried down: It's honey... But with a large dose of soap. Honey soap. Oh dear.
-
In the bottle: It's exactly like the description says. The mint is really strong, but that's not a bad thing! On skin wet: Very minty, with a hint of bourbon in the background. Dried down: The mint has completely died, and all I can smell is something akin to talcum powder, with a small boozy edge to it.

The bountiful, bright and vivacious prelude to the Harvest. A horde of wet, ripe fruits: green apple, apricot, blackberry, black cherry, black and red currants, cantaloupe, English pear, guava, lemon and lime, orange, mandarin orange, kiwi and mango, passion fruit, papaya, Georgia peach, raspberry, plum, tangerine, pomegranate and strawberry over a luminous blend of lunar oils. In the bottle: Oh, wow! I'm not very experienced at picking individual notes out, and there's no one fruit here that springs to mind as a dominant smell. It's beautiful! On skin wet: It smells like it does in the bottle- a complete mix of fruits that I can't pick one note out of. But, it's starting to smell suspiciously like soap powder, though... I hope that goes away, because I really really love this and I want it to work on me Dried down: It's fruity soap powder.
-
In the bottle: I'm getting caramel, with a hint of apple mostly. I can smell a small amount of coconut. Lovely! On skin wet: Toffee apples! There's a hint of rum in the background, which I'm hoping dies down a bit, since the toffee apple is lovely by itself Dried down: The apple and toffee have been completely overtaken by rum and butter. It's not a bad thing, though thankfully- it's actually quite nice! It isn't the type of thing I'd wear day to day, but I'd definitely wear it in October
-
In the bottle: Mint, a bit of lemon and a bit of coconut. On skin wet: Very, very lemony, with a hint of coconut. The lemon overpowers everything, and I'm not sure I like it. There's no mint anymore. Dried down: Oh, that's more like it! It dries down to a gorgeous coconut with a hint of lemon. No mint, which makes me sad, because I love mint.
-
In the bottle: Chocolate, caramel and a hint of vanilla. Lovely! On skin wet: It becomes slightly gingery, but I can still smell vanilla- just a hint of it. Dried down: It smells like a mix of ginger and something else I can't put my finger on- whatever it is, it's not very nice
-
In the bottle: Orange, with a tiny hint of plum. It's really lovely, and I had high hopes for it. On skin wet: It starts out as oranges, but quickly descends into washing powder! Dried down: It's still washing powder. My skin really REALLY hated this lovely scent
-
In the bottle: Peach and vanilla, though mostly vanilla, with a hint of amber. On skin wet: It's peach, and not much else! But it's not unpleasant at all. Dried down: It's a more subtle peach with a hint of vanilla, and it's gorgeous! But it then sadly it dulls down about an hour later to an overpowering floral-type smell, which isn't so nice, and I ended up removing it after a while. I was very disappointed since it's lovely whilst newly applied.
