    Buds of May

    I like this, but it's almost too floral. I don't really get any apple. Although I did get what I interpreted as green stems, so maybe that was the apple? Somehow? I don't know. I liked it for myself, but I could see it annoying people if I wore too much (which might be a thing that I might do) out.
  2. Finally! A peach that didn't turn plasticky on me! It didn't even threaten to this time! I LOVE this! It's so sweet and soft and feminine. I have a couple other versions, but I don't know how they'll work on me. Just my luck I find the one that's quite old works great. Maybe the others will, though...I'm hoping! I'm not sure I get "cream" so much as sugar. It's very sweet, but not cloying. I am going to have to pay better attention the next time this is rebrewed. Also kinda upset I missed out on NOCO Buttercream Peach!
  3. I was worried about this one, because of the peach. Peach almost ALWAYS goes plasticky on me. On this occasion, though, while it threatened to go plasticky all day, it never quite crossed that line. I find myself wishing the peach was sweeter and more syrupy, and that the creaminess was more forward. At the same time, I'm wondering how it would combine with Oatmeal Fairy Cake. My favourite breakfast is peaches and cream oatmeal, and it smells divine. Warm and buttery and comforting. I wouldn't mind smelling like that! Mmmm...now I want breakfast but it's bedtime! lol Come to think of it...I wonder how this one would be with a hot milk accord? Like the one in Melted Dream? Thinky thoughts...

    Amethyst Haze

    I wore this to bed last night. It's really lovely! I, too, found it to be a "purple" scent (does...does anyone else wonder if most of us who've wound up here have some sort of scent/colour synesthesia?). But when I thought about 'would I wear this often,' (aka should I buy a full bottle), the answer was no, and I don't really understand why. It's so pretty! But I guess it's just not really me or something, I don't know. It IS really pretty, though. I was in the South once and there were purple flowering trees everywhere...I guess that was probably wisteria? I don't remember the scent. But this perfume was both something I don't think I've smelled before, but also familiar to me in some way.

    21st Century Venus

    Wow, this is an oldie! I put this on a few hours ago. To me, it smells like classic, high-end perfume. It's very pretty! Classic and sweet and it smells "rich." I don't feel like it's "me," unfortunately. Or maybe fortunately, since it's long gone. I feel like this is what high-end perfumes should smell like, but they don't anymore because they're made of weird chemicals now. It kind of smells "silver" to me. I know someone said that in a much earlier review, and I can see it. Er, smell it. I feel like, wearing this, I should be wearing a fur coat and shopping in New York. But here I sit, in the frozen north in my pajamas, feeling the effects of week and chopping peppers for dinner. :/ 😔
  6. Hey, you're right! I thought it would be sold out by now. Dammit, now I need more money.
  7. This doesn't work on me. I like it in the vial, but on my skin it turns dusty, then plasticky, then sweet, and I think "here we go, it's going to work,"...but it doesn't because then it turns rubbery, then kind of sour...and it winds up just kind of sour and rubbery. It's not very strong though so I think I'll just put some Love Potion: Pink on top of it. I don't think honey scents are my thing.
  8. I just have a vial and now I'm upset about that.
  9. That's good to know! I need to win the lottery, so that I can keep myself in the manner to which I'd like to become accustomed. And also so I could buy all the perfumes and the space to store them.

    Celestial Body

    I just tried this again--slathered myself in it in order to use up the trial vial--and...I can't really smell anything. I guess it's too old. :/ But I did use up the vial and gain a coveted spot in my bullet box, so there's that. ETA: I can smell it a little better now (about an hour or so later). It's still very soft.
  11. I'm not sure how I feel about this one. On one hand, I tend not to like "bakery" notes, as my nose interprets them as harsh. But then I swiped this one on my arm, and rubbed it around a little bit, and now I want to eat my arm. Nom nom nom. There's something about the lemon and the cream together, OMG! Dammit. I was gonna list it on my trade page, but now I don't think I can.
  12. My initial thought is: Black licorice? Nononononono! *runs away screaming* That said, this isn't THAT bad, as black licorice goes. On me it smells like a bag of Allsorts. Very much not for me, though, being that it contains my sworn enemy, black licorice.

    Body Paint 2015

    I feel like I should love this one because lavender, but alas, I do not. I can't understand it--I LOVE lavender. Guess it's going up for sale.
  14. I'm curious about this, but the nuts scare me a bit.
  15. How noticeable is the chai? I’m interested in this one, but I don’t like chai tea so that note worries me.
  16. Mmmm, one of these days, I'm gonna get me some scented Balm Bomb. I had a trial but I think I stepped on it. :/ Balm Bomb puts me straight to sleep. Anyone else? I should've worn it to the dentist today!
  17. That's the one I'm most intrigued by! A rainbow of scents plus cream? I can't imagine it.
  18. Yes hello, I'm going to need those of you who have received your NRs to post reviews, please.
  19. I would also like to know if I have any forum credits, please and thank you.
  20. I want a bunch! *cries* I particularly am interested in Prisma, but there are a lot of others that look delightful, too. My resolve! My huge-already stash! AAAAAAHHHHH! Someone talk me into it! Or out of it! I don't even know which way I want to be persuaded!
  21. I need to live vicariously through all of you because I still have more perfumes than I could ever use in 5 lifetimes. But there are so many from this set that I want! *cries* I might break down. We'll see.
  22. I think the name in the title is spelled wrong...makes it a bit tricky to find in search.
