This scent is warm amber and mild patchouli. It is sexy in a tousled kind of way. I'm wondering why the lab hasn't made a skin scent like this, although maybe there is one out there, I just don't know about it. It seems more suited to cooler weather, though. More is in order, most definitely.

I'm getting geranium here, mostly, very much like Holiday Stress Relief Elixer. I'm just starting to feel a bit cranky from pms, and craving salt, and my mood immediately lifted after applying. I like the smell, it is fresh and herbal, though I don't know if I'd wear it in public, as it does smell a bit odd. It also smells a lot like Lush's Aura Suavis shower gel. I'm glad I have a bottle, and will definitely use this rather than being cranky.

Fruity, voluptuous, musky, and very sweet. If this weren't so fruity sweet, I'd probably like this, as I can detect the black musk in the background. Nice to try, but I wish it were a bit more muskier and less fruitier.

Fresh and green scent with tea, though it fades pretty fast on me, and smells a bit soapy. Still green, though, and really pretty when wet. Reminds me a bit of Embalming Fluid, though EF is better.

Woody, sweet caramel-like musk. Anything remotely like caramel is an immediate turn-off. The musk really does not go well here either...

Fresh salty sea spray and a fresh green-ness wet. As it dries, it is still a salty aquatic, but with the jasmine. This really doesn't smell very pleasant on me, a aquatic musky screaming floral. Bleh.

2011 version. Lovely slush and ice with a touch of spearmint and a bit of a cookie vibe. This would be great on a hot day. I'm not getting any floral, which is just fine by me. I have other blends that are similar, and though I don't need more, this is very nice. It reminds me of that room spray a few years back Christmas Past, I think. Just reading back on my review of another version, which I found more floral. I definitely think this one is much nicer.

Salty aquatic, as described. Turns to cheap soap in the extreme on me. Most aquatics don't work on me, so no surprise here.

Wet, this is quite similar to Dorian, though with a touch of lavender and lilac. It is also more masculine, though I find Dorian not to be masculine at all. Dry, not so Dorian-like. More of a musky lavender floral, with a bit of the warm Dorian vanilla. Masculine in a delicate sort of way if that makes sense. It suits the character well. I'm not sure this is 'me', I'd be interested in smelling it on a guy to see how it reacts with male chemistry. I'm on the fence with this one, I like it, not sure if I'd wear it, but it may be a nice comforting bedtime scent.

Kind of soft floral at first, then turns into a musky perfume, but not really that strong. After a bit, it does gain in strength, and is more musky. This is kind of department store perfume musk to me, not a fan.

Lots of foody coconut here, and something crystalline, like a clear musk. I'm also getting orris. This is quite pretty, but a bit too much coconut for me. The crystal quality reminds me a bit of black opal. If you like orris and coconut, you'd like this.

Amaaaazing dude scent!!! I'm getting lavender and citrus mostly, but in the most masculine way. I would want my man to smell like this. It smells like a clean, rugged guy. Too masculine for me to wear, but I LOVE it!!

Lots of boozy amaretto at first, with a touch of sweet, foody coconut, like the kind you get for baking. After a few minutes, the amaretto fades, and it's just dusty, sweet coconut on me. Not really me, but I'd kill for a piece of coconut cream pie right about now...

Yummy Belgian chocolate, and warm amber. I really like Gelt, but swapped away my 08. Though I love the smell of it, it really doesn't seem like a 'perfume' to wear. I'd like to see it layered with something Black musky, like Haunted. Off to try...

Wet to dry, overly sweet peaches, but more canned, not fresh. I rarely like peach, and the musk is undetectable here. Not for me.

Lots of red musk and fruits, a combination that is not my favourite. This kind of reminds me of Hollywood Babylon, only with mango instead of strawberry. This dries down to a dusty red musk. Not for me.

Strong musky lavender at first, almost like a red musk, though rm is not listed. Dry, lavender and orris powder, which I don't mind, as I like powder in small doses. I'll certainly use up the imp, probably more at night for a sleep blend.

This smells kind of spicy, and it's got that 'TAL' smell to it, like a lot of other tals have, kind of herbally and fresh. Putting it on, I get a pulling at my solar plexus, which other TAL's have done to me. My evening went pretty well, and it seemed to do what it is described as. I'll certainly use it again, but the 'pulling' feeling makes me a bit nauseous at times.

This is the 2011 version. This one seems more spicy at first from what I remember. It dries to a creamy, slightly plasticy vanilla on me. I would say it smells more like egg nog wet. Though this is nice to try, it isn't me.

Lots and lots of pine, the same one as in Golden Priapus. The difference is, the pine stays in this blend, and GP the pine fades, and smells warmer than this. I do have a bottle of GP, which is amazing aged, by the way, so don't need this. This is cold piney Christmas tree, and would smell great as a room scent.

Quite nice in the imp, a springlike floral, fresh and breezy. Dry, harsh white floral, soaplike, and not my kind of blend at all. I wish the honey came out, as it may have tempered the bitter floral here.

This is the 2011 version. I can't remember why previous versions haven't worked all that well for me, but I think they went plasticy on my skin, or uber sweet, maybe both. Wet, this one almost seems to have a slight citrus quality, probably my nose translating the cotton. So far, this one is behaving, a soft, fluffy vanilla, though the fresh quality is gone. This reminds me of the jars of marshmallow cream. I may need to track down more than this sniffy for the odd time I'm in the mood for foody.

Kind of cologney at first, then changes to an earthy, musky masculine blend. The dark musk does not seem to be the same as black musk to me. This is nice, but I don't wear dude blends. It would be nice to smell on a guy, though, the rugged, outdoorsy type.

Lot's of white grapefruit at first, really quite refreshing. Dry, a bit more musky, but the grapefruit is holding it's own. This ends up being rather perfumey and slightly citrussy, like one of the refreshing body sprays, which I'm not too keen on, though this is nicer. More morphing a bit later, and I'm getting more vanilla which adds a bit of warmth as the citrus steps back. Lot's of changes in this blend, and though the wet stage is amazing and the end result is quite nice, I don't think I need more than my decant.

Ground up nuts, slightly toasted with brown sugar. This smells delicious and comforting somehow. There's a bit of wood here. This smells like fall to me, but not in the apple cider sense, rather baking cookies, and the wood smoke blowing in the window. Not a real foodie wearer as a rule, but this is nice to try. It reminds me a teeny bit of Dirty Vanilla, a tart that Alternative Breeding makes.
