Mula Mula is anomalously restrained for a caramel-fruit scent. Upon scanning the note pyramid, I assumed that this was going to smell like a B&BW bodyspray, sickeningly sweet. Somehow, though, this never becomes cloying, even in heat! The caramel...

Wow what an opening... Immediately, it reminded me of a kool-aid or pink lemonade powder mix that my mom uses in the summer to make punch drinks. If Pink Boa was just this I would not see much use in it, but there are also...

I haven't really smelled a tuberose like this before. I'm a bit mad that I only tried Gozo today while at the Scent Bar in DTLA, as I've been to that store and noticed that neon orange bottle many times...

Upon spraying this I was hit with an *intense* burst of some sort of lemon-lime, a whole wind of it. In about an hour or two, this burst of lemon and ginger fizz recedes a bit to reveal a core of mango, set against a backdrop of sea breeze. As I'm speaking,...

Having tried this after the Extrait, I can safely say this original is many times better. The Extrait, to me, is just way too astringent in the dry down, almost like pungent leather, which, if you're into that sort of thing,...

For the price you're typically paying with Ex Nihilo, I don't think this is really worth it. I've tried it on the skin about three times now and I can appreciate it for its longetivity, but the scent is nothing special for me. Pear on the top with the tiniest...

This is probably my favorite ginger scent as it stands, though I've yet to try others like Vibrato, Floraiku's and Widian's Ginger. Zingy, fizzy and fresh ginger + orange with a lovely cozy bed of powdery vanilla and some woodiness... Even though this...

Okay, spraying it on for a third time after having had the sample for about a month now, I no longer get as much of an egg smell as I did the first two times, so at least now I can start to appreciate it more. That being said, it doesn't really do much...
