Peach, iris root, King mandarin, and lime rind. UGH. Was not expecting to be the first one. Peach X is pretty peachy, with a big hint of mandarin citrus and a touch of iris. It's a soft, delicate peach blend. For me, iris root becomes very powdery on the drydown, which gives this a very Pez-like dimension. I mean PEACH PEZ. Which immediately amps up the nostalgia factor, for no reason at all, whatsoever. Peachy, powdery, nostalgia.

Peach with white pear, rose musk, tobacco leaf, hay absolute, dried ruby fruits, and vanilla cream. I went to the con looking to pick my favorite among those that caught my eye and Peach I was the winner on all fronts. I really loved IX last year, with that rose musk, and Peach I did not disappoint. This starts off very ruby-fruit forward and fruity. No single fruit ever comes out, though, which I'm grateful for as I'm not suuuuper fond of fruit-heavy scents. The fruit quickly mellows into a warm sweetness, again, I couldn't compare it to any particular fruit but it is definitely ruby in tone, and softens to let more of the rose musk and white pear come forward with the cream. This scent is very creamy and warm, sweet but not syrupy, fruity but not foodie, and gently, softly floral...it's a perfect late summer/early fall scent, a little reminiscent of a warm pie or cobbler at the end of a cookout. I'm having trouble describing it further because it's so well blended but this is a gorgeous scent.

Peach and blackcurrant with aged patchouli, red sandalwood, benzoin, and blue musk. This one was really surprising, as I normally avoid anything with patchouli - but, hey, listen to the labbies sometime. In the bottle: Wow! Strong and unfriendly patchouli! would have walked away after one sniff.. but... wet on skin: Ok.. Ok.. with the sandalwood, it's more woodsy patchouli than dirty hippie patchouli, and the peach and blackcurrant give both sweet and sour brightness, something kind of smooth, soft, kinda-sorta-not really vanilla-ish (I guess benzoin) helps bridge the two. dry: soft, subtle, not too strong, sweet peach with a bit of tartness/brightness from the currant, and the others calm down lovely in the background as a soft friendly woodland background - also, no baby powder of doom from this musk! Overall, really surprised. The win is in the skin test on this one.

Peach and Moroccan sandalwood with wild strawberry, vanilla pod, and caramelized benzoin. My goodness, Peach XIV is so good. The description says it all: peach, sandalwood, strawberry, vanilla, and benzoin. The fruit, vanilla, and caramelized benzoin give this a very fruity-foodie feel, like some kind of scrumptious dessert dreamed up by an ambitious chef. The sandalwood drowns everything in its book, planes it down until it's smooth and golden. The strawberry is particularly nice here, there's just a hint and it gives a lovely blush to everything. This Peach Pit is right up there with my favorites Peach IV and Peach VIII...sweet, fun, and totally wearable.

A sparkling peach aldehyde with jasmine, green tea absolute, pink grapefruit, yuzu fruit, and frankincense. Gratitude for my fairy again. I couldn't decide on which peaches to get this year so ordered one of each. All the peaches had notes that sounded nom and notes that I avoid. I love peach. I love jasmine. I like frank and tea but the words sparkling and aldehyde {aka soapy waxy lemony} are usually the death knell of a scent. When I opened my package and for the week immediately after this is the bottle I most disliked but now In the bottle the peach is thick and jammy almost candied sweet. Fresh on the skin the aldehyde bit is struggling to dominance. I get the lemon {and grapefruit and yuzu} that wants to verge on soap. I haven't done a full on wear of this one yet. I will report back when I do so. I am kinda scared to put it on and be stuck at work wearing expensive smelling hotel citron based soap. It is oddly compelling however but I may wait another week {and Saturday} to give it a real go. It is much more wearable than the champagne peach from first year that shares it's number. I think if you liked that one you would also like this one. The jasmine is not being picked up on by my nose. And I like jasmine :-)

White peach, tangerine, and champagne grapes. Light Happy Peach Punch! Loving it so far! Light bubbly peach but not overly sweet. pure love! Swoon!

Golden peach, Egyptian amber, myrrh, ho wood, frankincense, burgundy pitch, musk seed, and oudh. This is such a lovely scent. First on, I get the peaches and ho wood, which I just adore. About five minutes in the frankincense and amber kick in and warm up the woodsy peach with a slight spice. This scent has moderate throw and lasts about 3 hours or so. This was my favorite of the peaches.

Peach, red musk, cypress, myrrh, vetiver, champa resinoid, and patchouli. Intensely fruity red musk with the resins thrumming beneath. This is the peach note cosplaying Linsner's Dawn. Is it too overt? Does it show too much cleavage? Or are these exactly the stiletto heel thigh-high boots you were looking for? Only you can decide.

Rose musk, peach blossom, and vanilla cream. Emphasis on the cream and the musk (like a soft skin musk), not the rose. This smells like plush fur feels, all creamy to the nose. It is shockingly lovely and understated, and if rose in all forms did not abhor my skin, I would buy it.

Peach caramel with blackened vanilla, patchouli, and teakwood. In the bottle: It's pretty patchouli/teakwood-forward. Spicy and woody. A little sweet. On skin: The peach is not a top note here, really. It very much smells like caramel with peach juice added as opposed to caramelized or roasted peaches. The blackened vanilla darkens the peachy caramel so it doesn't read as buttery or foody at all, and lends a lovely dark, sweet warmth. Patch and teakwood make this woody and spicy (but not as strong as the wood or patch in some other blends). Overall, this is a beautifully balanced blend. It's warm and sweet, not foody, not particularly "fresh peachy" - but the peach is still a solid foundation for the scent. The vanilla makes it a darker scent, the patch is very subtle (just lending a little earthiness and spiciness), and the teakwood is woody and dry in the background, but not too strong. It reminds me a lot of a blend between Aradia and Imp.

[No description given.] How has no one reviewed this yet? I get both a tart green apple, and sweet juicy peaches. It ends up as a sweet peach and apple atmo. The green apple does make me think more of the apple blossom. But yeah, its peachy, and appley, and sweet. This would be perfect for a young girl's room.

[No description given.] I'm really glad I got my hands on a bottle of this. It smells lovely! I don't get much of the frankincense, but the peach is light, fresh, and just sweet/ripe enough.

Whipped jasmine cream and peach blossom with vanilla orchid and white frankincense. In the bottle: The first thing I noticed was the sweet, creamy vanilla notes. Secondly was the jasmine, then peach dances in. It made me think of having a peach custard dessert with small vase of jasmine flowers near by. On Skin: Bright peach, creamy vanilla and sweet summery jasmine. I don't get the frankincense note yet. I think it's the note that's rounding out the others. Dry: More of the same with very minimal throw. I don't know if I want to keep the bottle yet. Maybe if I moisturized very well before applying the oil it would give it more throw. I must say it is very lovely.

Peach sugar and a drop of lemon. The first Dragon*Con Peach that has me smitten! My skin does bad things to peach notes. Bad, musty things. But this is a revelation. It's sweet and candied, sparkling and lovely. The lemon top note is candied yet tart, fades quickly and leaves this candied, pinky-peach jelly candy fragrance. I can't wait to enjoy more of this beauty! It reminds me of a perfect BPAL version of those Fresh Sugar/ Aquolina type scents. Only better, of course. (Bether!)

Peach and almond blossom with tonka, narcissus, and black amber. If you're not expecting a peach-forward scent and you're into the darker side of the bpals, this will be perfect for you. Its one of the more unique scents I've acquired over the past few years. The peach is sweet and crystalline, due to the addition of almond blossom. These 2 notes aren't singularly discernible, but fuse together wonderfully. Something in this smells like Leather Phoenix on me. I mean, to the point I thought there was gleaming black leather in it. Pretty sure its the narcissus...ok so apparently I amp narcissus? Who knew! The tonka is warm and gritty. The black amber isn't forward but adds warmth.

[No description given.] In a word: Glorious. I am slightly leery of peach notes, they sometimes amp on me in a bad fake-plastic-candy way. But this is a fantastic blend of heavy fresh, yummy strawberry and light peach bringing up the rear. I actually don't use bath oils as bath oils that often, the Post's oils I use more on my skin as a moisturizer of sorts and I took one sniff of this and *knew* it had to be mine. I shall love it for always.

Dried peach, black musk, and North African spices. Oh my Peach VII, you coy, delectable little peach, you. You start off honeyed innocence and peaches, but you are sly..... I can tell you have a bit of a spicy side.... I like that about you. Why dahlin, on that dry down I can plainly see you have naughty inclinations.......that dried peachy honey note fades and your rich spices start peeking through. Spiced, juicy peaches! There's even a hint of a boozy note, and makes me think I'd like to translate you into a dangerously delicious cocktail to sip on the veranda and flirt over your glass. "You're a peach charmer.....that's what you are..."

[No description given.] Juicy peach, red currant, and black tea! Not too heavy, and more of a canned or cooked peach than fresh peaches. I wasn't sure how I felt about currants but I love it so much in this scent The black tea helps to ground this HG from being like something I may have bought from Bath & Body Works as a teenager. Half considering getting a 2nd bottle if I ever see it being sold by forumites or on the Etsy shop! Throw is sort of low to medium. I don't smell it too much on my hair half a day later.

Peach and blackcurrant with sandalwood and pink pepper. Peach and blackcurrant sitting in a tree K I S S I N G (and by kissing, I mean a kiss that's so deep it's hard to tell where one person starts and the other ends. Yeah, like that). While the sandalwood holds them together in a scentastic threesome, pink pepper comes along and insists on taking pictures, sprinkling just a bit of herself in the mix, nipping them ever-so-slightly, to remind them to exhale occasionally.

Peach-infused oudh with orange blossom. Peach IV: Its a gorgeous, resinous, hippie peach. Oudhs can vary in depth and mixture, in my experience. This oudh is particularly deep..smells exactly like a collection of incenses from india, nepal, etc, with a touch of vetiver. I thought I smelled Nag Champa when 1st applied. The peach is syrupy and ripe, a la Peach I 2013 or Grand Guignol. It gets way behind the oudh in drydown, same with the orange blossom. Hence, it mellows to a daydreamy sweet oudh. Overall, I'm very happy with this one!

Peach, white sandalwood, golden amber, gurjum balsam, leather accord, and oudh. On me this was lighter and greener than I thought it would be - I suspect it wants a bit of aging to soften the balsam to my personal tastes - but on my friend it was ALL peach and leather and oudh, which was her personal idea of a Really Good Party. There's nothing dark in this scent. I get blond woods and golden resins and young fresh-cured leather, with peach keeping it juicy at the edges. Works for any gender.

Snow-touched sparkling peach glacé with green tea absolute, pink grapefruit, and white musk. Sparkling peach juice and green tea soda!! Yummy! Lots of peach and grapefruit, and it seriously is fizzy! So glad I got this one! This is going to be wonderful for hot summer days. Crisp and refreshing.

Golden peach, tobacco absolute, tonka bean, and honey with a squirt of red musk. Fresh in the bottle: peach and tobacco and red musk. There's a heady nose to it, like 80 proof liquor. Wet on the skin: at first it's intensely peach and red musk. And then tonka and tobacco roar up like a slow-motion fireball, obliterating all other scents in their path. For a few minutes peach is completely subsumed. Then it bobs back up, and there's this sinuous wrestling-in-a-sack thing where Peach is intensely juicy and female and Tonka/Tobacco are very masculine and between them they make a scent as androgynous as Tiresias, which is to say not gender-neutral at all, but rather a fierce yin/yang whirl of woodsy and juicey. Somewhere in here things start to heat up and become *really* good, if you know what I mean, like a gorgeous low warm haze on the skin. ...and then my nemesis, honey, arrives in a rain of fulminated cat pee. *sigh* Twelve hours later, there is still a noticeable whiff of peach-tinged tobacco on the skin. Drydown never smells *dry* per se; it's peach-soaked to the bone. There is the *perfect* amount of peach in this one. And tobacco makes peach's butt look amazing. Peach and/or Tobacco fans without my peculiar chemistry may wish to beg, borrow or steal decants. Red musk fans may be sad, as it's never prominent in the blend for me.

White peach, white tea, honey, and neroli. Juicy. Voluptuous. Tender. Late-summer fruit in a bottle, basking in a pool of lemon-neroli sunlight. Honey as a rule plays horribly with my skin chemistry, but this might be worth a scent locket. ETA: Now that I've retested away from the olfactory madhouse of the booth: there is a lot more white tea in here than I thought. However, this blend is like a table with four perfectly balanced legs. It's hard to tell where one note stops and another starts. You get all four in equal measure.

Georgia peaches, madeira wine, mimosa, and Cherokee roses. Wet, the fruity/sweet boozy notes are very present in this blend, with the rose only a whiff in the background. As it dries, it stays very rich and sweet, but it's more a winey sweetness than a sugary or syrupy one, and the rose becomes a bit more present. Overall, this is a round, full, fruity blend that is somehow voluptuous and mouthwatering at the same time. Very nice.
