A very nice licorice-based scent, with some faint spice and a base of oakmoss. I doesn't remind me of Halloween, really, but it is definitely a fall scent. Licorice-haters steer clear, though:...

Smells exactly like Myrrh in the pebble/resin form. There's a moment when it smells like mildewed wood, but that passes into the myrrh. While I love myrrh and I love the smell of proper...

Hate to go against popular opinion (yeah, right) but I really like this one. I don't know about gypsy as a name for it, but it smells like these "rose seed" sachets I've been getting for years at...

This scent is part of DSH's Parfums des Beaux Arts line. Menthe Moderne starts with a pleasant hint of gentle mint, perhaps more a spearmint rather than peppermint. Other fresh scents (think of a...

Clove.
Definitely clove.
Then a soft cedar peeks through the clove.
After a while, the sandalwood comes through and melds with the clove and cedar, making (surprisingly, to me) a tangy...

Dark chocolate with just a hint of vanilla so it's gourmand but not sweet. If you don't like patchouli don't let it keep you away from this. I usually can't do patchouli, but here it's very soft...

There's a new DSH in town! And it's going to cause a fuss, or at least it should! For the longest time, I was on a coffee scent jag. I wanted the perfect subtle hint of coffee, not too obvious,...

I very much liked Sienna. For me, I caught cinnamon, a very very mellow leather, and a warm wood/amber base. But what I also found (which was really charming) is that somehow Sienna manages to...

This is one fragrance that is damn near impossible to describe. It's leather and bleach...not a bleach that gives you a sinus rush but bleach that simply smells clean. Yeah I know you're thinking...

Okay, I love this scent, but yes, it DOES smell like a sexy men's scent on me. That said, I would buy it for my man to wear. It's fantastic.

Just putting my two cents' worth in to say Dawn's fragrances are very high quality and I love many of them. Obviously not all of them are winners, but she is on par with the more famous fragrance...

I received a sample of this in a swap & thought it was an average clean musk scent. But after a few minutes I smelled something sweet & beautiful on my wrist & couldn't stop sniffing myself! It...

A warm, sophisticated blood red rose fragrance, the peru balsam makes this a heady skin scent, which clings beautifully....It warms as you wear it, don't sniff from the bottle - it's unimpressive -...

Boy - isn't chemistry a strange thing. I don't typically like fruits or musks - and yet I am strangely drawn to this one.
Out of the bottle I got straight blackberry jam... Then as it mellows...

It's a gourmand chypre--got that? The woody notes form a nice "bridge" between the vanilla and the oakmoss. That said, I would not buy it again because, as the Anti-Spice Girl, I found the nutmeg...

Not as violently and unreasonably orange as the description would suggest, it's actually soft and subtle, surprisingly nuanced. The bright orange fades, as citrus will, leaving a soft (but a bit...
