#scented things

Just got a new batch of perfume testers today and am slowly making my way through the ones I most wanted to try. Thank goodness no one on Parfumo can read my comments.

How to know if I will enjoy a lotion/butter/cream/oil etc:

Will this product make me smell like a cookie?

So I've tried all of the Revlon Scented nail polishes available at my Target, and have been walking around smelling my fingers like some kind of perv idiot for a couple weeks, now (though the scent only lasts a day or two- I've been trying a couple at a time).

Autumn Spice is a sparkly brown/orange and smells like not-super- intense pumpkin pie spice- There was maybe a touch of "autumn leaves" or something to tone it down. You won't smell like Starbucks in October!

Beachy is a shiny Gold, and the smell is reminiscent of coconut tanning lotion. Love it.

China Flower - I think they were trying for Poppy- its got a touch of spice. Its def floral with a little tang of fruit but I detected an initial spice (maybe bay- its bright and sharp).

African Tea Rose is bright pink and a sweet lovely (not gagtastic) rose. I hate rose typically, but I like this one.

Linen goes on creamy white (one coat almost disappeared) and smells more like a bright (non-lavender) fabric softener or detergent. I was a expecting the usual linen scent- harsh white crisp line-dried sheets, but this is like "sunny meadows" or "mountain fresh" detergent.

Spun sugar is glorious! Its not like the cloying in-your-face cotton candy that most "sugar" perfumes give off- its like vanilla bean-creamy sweetness. Good god its delicious. The color is a warm metallic white gold? Its "warmer" than silver but not yellow like gold.

Moonlit Woods is also gorgeous- omg its like woods and... I don't know - angels wings? I need a bottle of it. Its like metallic amethyst in color.

Wintermint is a creamy aqua with glitter- smells like sweetmint  Orbitz gum
