I really enjoyed sniffing all of them! Can't wait to skin test. Some incredibly interesting scents in there - it's really intriguing the notes that pop out (at least in the sniff test). Sometimes it's totally not what I expect from the notes listed.
#3 - Heh for example - I totally expected the juniper to come to the forefront, but while it's there, I'm surprised how much the cotton and sweet pea show up, and I think that the vanilla is keeping the amber nice and mellow. I think I expected powdery juniper out of this one - but it's so much more complex than that. Very neat.
#5 - I really did not expect the Tangerine to jump out so much among what I thought would be such strong notes - but there's just this yummy tang of it. I hope that it sticks around on my skin!
#6 - Definitely want to test this on skin as the bergamot is a bit overpowering right now, but the brown sugar is also coming through. It's like getting a whiff of Earl Grey and Snickerdoodles. I'm so curious what will end up being dominant on dry down.
#7 - I totally think I need to try this on my Hubby. The cocoa absolute is just a really neat undercurrent to these other dark, sexy notes.
#8 - Very earthy (patchouli and hemp combo, I'm guessing) but the vanilla is a surprising hint of sweetness. Another I think I'd like to try on the hubby.
#9 - Smokey pine! It's like catching a whiff of a campfire that someone lit using sage, through a pine forest. I'm not sure if I could wear this, but it's an amazingly evocative scent.
I'm definitely pleased with mine (#10). The Nag Champa is pretty overpowering at first, but the dry down is really working for me. It's more feminine than I expected, but the hint of vanilla and smoke are just enough to balance it out.
Anyway - thanks so much for running this circle. You did such a wonderful job! Everything was just terrific!
