    Bois de Paradis by Delrae

    I don't know if the fault lies with my nose or my skin, but this is hideous on me. Baby powder with camphor becomes tea rose and aluminum shavings. I can appreciate that it's well done however. Anyone who likes tea rose will probably love it.

    Sutra Ylang by Bois 1920

    This started out way too sweet on me. As I went about my business, waiting for it to evolve, I began to smell horse manure! Sniffed my wrist and sure enough, there it was. I suppose this could have been the indole/jasmine, though I haven't experienced it with other jasmines. When the weird reek faded, the perfume settled into a sweetish/powdery fog. Even without the fecal phase this isn't my cup of tea. But someone who likes sweet, powdery, STRONG florals might love it.
    I let my daughter try it, she likes sweeter frags than I do, and no horse patties appeared on her, so once again my chemistry may have fouled up a perfectly nice perfume.

    Calypso Figue by Calypso Christiane Celle

    I don't smell much fig here. I get chocolate and coffee, then patchouly, then skin. It's not a bad smell, just not fig. Won't replace my beloved Philosykos.

    Fire from Heaven by CB I Hate Perfume

    Cinnamon stick boiled in water. Heavy on the water. The label says " Contains beef extract". My dog loves it! :)

    To Twirl All Girly by Pilar and Lucy

    A flood of over-the top fruity gardenia with a smoky, resinous undertow-benzoin maybe? Definitley not refined or subtle. A little dab does it and on me it lasts into the next day. One of my all time favorites.

    Lemon Sugar by Fresh

    Made me smell like I had bathed with Castille soap and beer.
