This is lovely! Cool, crisp and clean. Spearmint in the fore and what my nose says is honeydew melon in the background. Quite nice.

This blend starts out clove and wood. After a bit, tobacco comes out and tones down the spice a little. It turns sweetly spicy, a nice combination. I like it.

This starts out very promising- delicious peppermint, cool and crisp. Unfortunately, it now smells like I dropped the peppermint in some Vicks Vapo-Rub and then dug it out with a plastic babydoll arm.

 

I smell peppermint, menthol and plastic. Ick.

Spiced floral honey and amber... just incredible!!

Mint and eucalyptus with creamy floral. Not bad.

Starts off very green- reminded me of fresh cut stems of flowers but I suppose that must be the parsley. In no time at all, the green fades and what emerges is a gorgeous bright floral with a hint of fruit.

 

I like it muchly.

Wow, how fruity! How sweet floral-ish! My first impression was an uber-sweet floral, like gardenia or jasmine...

 

This blend packs a wallop. And I like it. Hit me again.

In the imp and wet: Cocoa

Dry: Play Doh used by a kid eating chocolate.

I sure hope this evolves into something else. I smell like I dumped buttered popcorn all over myself.

This is so strong I can taste it. It's super sweet but it has a vicious bite. There is something in the background that is razor sharp and makes my head snap back involuntarily.

 

I think not.

I don't have the slightest idea what any of this is but I can say this about it:

 

It's pungent and rotten sweet.

 

YUCK!!!!

I love this. It starts out very citrus, not specifically lemon or orange but just bright and sharp. A toned down lemongrass emerges and then the geranium comes out to play. The result is stunning.

This is the scent of evergreens. It's clean and fresh and untouched. Definitely a winter fragrance.

No ice here. No cold. No mint that I can identify. Just soap.

 

Someone mentioned dryer sheets earlier. That sounds about right.

My first impression of this blend is Play Doh. It quickly morphs to almond pastry and is quite yummy... but it's doing something strange now. It has taken on a plastic tinge.

 

Do not like.

Can you say CLOVE? I knew that you could.

OK, who's the wiseguy who poured prune juice all over me? I am not 90 years old and don't particularly want to smell like I am.

This blend starts out herbal, almost medicinal. Thankfully, that phases out fairly quickly. What is left is faint incense. Pretty but not very long lasting.

Starts out very soapy but quickly turns into a spicy rose scent.

Smoky incense- unfortunately, the smoke is strong and I smell like I've been barbecued.

I forgot how much I used to love civet! I get pine and moss at the outset with something sweet in the background and it settles into musky civet. Sweet with a bite.

 

Very nice.

I love love love this blend!! It does start out incredibly sharp, but it dries down to a gingery orange. It's unique and I like it muchly.

 

ETA: It's three hours later and all I have to say is this: OK, Buster, NOW I know why your name is Ackerman. ACK!! ACK!! I wondered who doused my office with P-U PEW. Wait. It's ME. I coulda sworn I put on perfume from Black Phoenix, not Black Flag! This beautiful blend done turned to BUG SPRAY!!

The Rat is a complex creature. Starts out as pure melon, turns fairly masculine for a short time and then settles to a spicy but fruity blend.

I love it.

Yep. Soft doll plastic. Just about covers this one.

This blend is an in-your-face floral, kissed by a whisper of RAID. It is about to choke me.
