Fresh juicy sweet orange
I'm reviewing the roller ball version. It is basically a one note, linear scent but one of the better ones that I have. I get the scent of a freshly cut sweet orange. Not tart and it is juicy fruity sweet not sugary sweet. I will occasionally wear this one its own but I really enjoy layering it. I use it to tone down tart citrus scents, to perk up blah florals, or to change up or add umph to others.
I tried the spray and agree with the others that it is too sweet, I also had the solid but found that one a touch too sharp so I gave it away.. Glad I got the roller ball, as Goldilocks said 'This one is just right' for me.

Clove, Clove, Clove, Pepper and more Clove
Whew! I tested a spray bottle of this today and although I love strong spices in a perfume, this one is really too much even for me. Much stronger than Spellbound which I love and thought this might be similar to. All I got from Madagascar Spice was pure strong clove with some black pepper.. I wouldn't mind my kitchen smelling a bit like this but on my person it was sinus clearing. If I can find & test the solid version and if it is weaker I may get it.
I did one small spray on the back of my fingers and the throw was a few inches but lasted less than 2 hours.

Citrus & Sage
First off I'm a woman. I tested this at a store today using a paper strip and loved the scent. It strongly reminds me of Yankee Candles' Citrus & Sage.. Too strong for me, as a woman, to wear but I would love to be able to smell it on a man.. If I had found it in a candle I would have purchased it in a flash..
I'm not great with identifying individual notes but I found this to be fresh but not sour with the citus opening; sage and a touch of lavendar making it herbal; the woods and tonka beans warming it up.
I only tested the lotion on myself and the throw was great.

Better on a woman
My husband got this as a gift and it is nice but too light and kinda blah on him however I love wearing this.. Soft but sweet, smokey and spicy. I'm not great at individual notes but I can detect the amber and cinnamon easily with the neroli, frankincense and a touch of patchouli backing them up.. Warm and comforting, I actually prefer this to the woman's version which I also have.
Throw is low at skin to a couple inches only and lasts 4 hours on me. Easily passes as a woman's scent.

Eucalyptus
This is mostly Eucalyptus, very strong, the spearmint is like you would find in chewing gum and adds a needed sweetness. It is not really 'green' but a very sweet, fresh herbal.
For me it is almost too much for daily wear but good for evenings to unwind and I often wear this when I have a headache and I cant take wearing anything else. I even believe it helps. I actually prefer the candle version burning throughout my house at any time, but when I don't want to fall asleep with a candle burning I spray this on my pillows & linen..
The throw is good at several inches but lasting power is on par with other body mists, between an hour to two.
