Beautiful sandalwood and musk. I love this.

Sugar and spice and carnations.... LOVE.

This is positively the most potent Violet I have ever smelled!!! It reminds me of the Violet candy I used to love to sniff but hated to eat (because it tasted like soap and I don't care what anyone says- IT DID!!!). I have just smeared Violet candy on my arm with application of Lucretia. This is just lovely. If you are a serious fan of violet (the flower, NOT the candy... bleccch), this is the scent for you. Pure. Violet.

Within 5 minutes of application, Bayou made my nose start running. It took me another 20 minutes to hunt the damned thing down and catch it. Bayou is in-your-face-and-down-your-throat heady flowers. I picked up jasmine, magnolia and gardenia (and the combination is enough to cross your eyes permanently). After it dried down, I got moss and slimy algae creeping into the mix of flowers. At that point, I washed it off as best I could. The Bayou is not for me.

Super clean scent. Just fresh from the shower soapy scent.

This is sweetened lavender- it's reminding me of something from my childhood. It turns slightly powdery and develops a bit of a bite (which I think is the tobacco) but I like it. It's a very comforting fragrance.

Sachs starts out screaming CHAMOMILE but soon shuts up and lets the vanilla through. It is very subtle after all the screeching stops and I realize that I need a refreshing of scent after just a few hours. If you can get past the shouting in the beginning, Sachs is quite lovely.

Arrrrrgh! I need single notes so I can tell what I am sniffing. This is making me nuts! As best I can tell... there's something sharply floral- I can taste it- it's that strong. Behind that, something that is mostly green (iris?) that tones down the razor sharpness. After that, there's a hint of something clay-like or plastic in nature. The phases that this fragrance evolves through are just breathtaking. I don't think that I would wear this scent but it is magnificent in its presentation.

Oh, wow- this is interesting! Wet, it is an extreme sharp sweetness. As it dries, there is a powder element that is in the forefront. I detect something that is fruity as well. Am I picking up amber too? I don't know but the end of the sniff has definite amber potential. All the different notes stack one behind the next in one big whiff. I don't know that I've ever smelled anything quite like it. And I DO like it.

Butterscotch. Nuts. Taco shells. Enough of this one.

I keep reading about the spicy/heady/strong/sharpness of the scent. I got pretty floral that vanished in 45 minutes. Apparently the Cobra in my Lily just wants to snooze. Oh, well. Nice while it lasted.

Another thumbs down... Lightning starts off fresh and clean but develops a bit of a sour edge on drydown. It DOES remind me of dryer sheets. Sort of.

This smelled like burnt plastic when wet and dried down to a smoky fire that has been doused with old time root beer. DO NOT LIKE.

This is a very powerful scent, not to be worn lightly. It is musk and sandalwood and amber, all rolled up into a bombshell fragrance. I can't see myself wearing this very often, but when I want to be THE woman in the room, Faiza will be the scent I reach for.

In the imp, this is wonderful vanilla and sandalwood. On application and drydown, it turns sickeningly sweet. I had such high hopes...

Nice! This starts off as primarily honey and dries down to a lovely soft floral. Very light, though, but I still like it.

Two words: Hamster cage.

Definitely not for me. Smells like soap on application and then instantly turns sweet. 30 minutes later, it has morphed into a masculine scent with a wood background. This would probably smell great on a guy.

Everybody else has pretty much said it- Lick It starts out uber peppermint and then dries down to a sweet vanilla sugar. It lasts a lot longer than I would have expected. I just wish that it retained even a hint of the peppermint.

This is a strange one for sure. It started out fruity and sweet, then turned salty and disappeared. I smell the remnants of bandaids now.

I found this to be sweet when applied. But on drydown, it has taken on a slightly bitter quality. I still smell sweet, almost an incense, but the bitter is lurking in the background. Ok but not fantastic. Probably good for winter.

Philosopher is gorgeous- it is a sweet smoky incense with an added splash of honeyed wine. I like muchly.

Innocence defiled. Sticky pink bubblegum and the thick, sweet scent of orange and cherry lollipops smeared over a breath of heady womanly perfume. Yep, that's bubble gum... and it does exactly what bubble gum does after a while-- lose its flavor. Fun but not something I would wear to the office.

Super spicy bay rum with a tiny whiff of clean ocean air on top...

I can't make up my mind about this one. On application, it is sweet ripe strawberry. The instant it dries, it goes into platic mode and stays there for about 10-15 minutes. What emerges is atrawberry with carnation. It's sweet and peppery at the same time. I can't decide if I like it or not.
