Candied Fruits and Caramel- apple and pear blended with caramel, cardamom and clove. I get a strong clove aroma when first applied and settling as it dries down allowing apple to come through and later the sage. Definitely a warm, cozy fragrance, perfect for winter and holidays.

Don’t Harsh my Mallow- Fresh marshmallows topped with powdered sugar with added notes of smokey vanilla and amber. One of my top favorites in this collection. Not too smokey, not too sweet, and the amber is the perfect compliment to ground it. Love it so much now I just need room spray or wax! So yummy!

LynB Signature- sweet orange with warm vanilla blended with sage and salted caramel. The orange is softened and not sharp, yet it is noticeable among the vanilla and other cozy notes. Not cloying at all. It's one of those fragrances that make you stop and wonder what notes are in it as it changes on the skin. A nice wintery, slightly gourmand scent.

Matcha Latte- green tea and ginger blended with vanilla and toasted marshmallow. Very fresh and vibrant at the top, yet something almost chocolatey lurking beneath. A really good balance of both worlds - fresh and gourmand.

Spiced Plum- fresh plums, creme de cassis, vanilla, and soft woods. This one reminds me of gumdrops! Slightly sweet and fruity with vanilla and white woods to soften. I think it would be a perfect any-season scent.

Tea in the Garden- fresh jasmine blossoms steeped with white tea. This one is for all you Jasmine fans out there! It is blended well and very fragrant.

LynB Designs: Vintage Fragrance Collection

LynB Designs Vintage Fragrance Collection launches Nov 8. You can get half off through Nov 12 with code SCENT. I giggled a bit when I saw the name of the collection because she is also launching perfumes this month! If you're interested in those, check back here for the review coming soon!

Can’t Figuier You Out- a plummy brown base filled with blue to violet shifting shimmer. One of my favorites, I think. That purple shimmer gets me every time!

Eau De Humanity- buildable turquoise base with loads of blue to violet shifting flakies and holo flakies. Ya'll. This finish is so pretty and sparkly and my gosh those flakes! They trick my my eyes into thinking they're floating above the nail. It is so wild. My favorite of the bunch, if you can only get one, get this one. Photos do not do it justice.

Good Scents of Humor- buildable celadon green base with aqua to blue to indigo shifting shimmer. I was a bit concerned that this one would not look good on me, but I was wrong. It is a pretty shimmery shifter of a polish. It has decent coverage which also suprised me. If you like minty greens, this is definitely one to consider.

How Oud- light terracotta base with red to orange shifting shimmer. This polish reminds me of a very sought after mainstream polish shade. Indies were trying to dupe it but couldn't because shifting shimmer just wasn't much of a thing that many years ago. The shimmer was difficult for my camera to pick up, but it is definitely present. What a classy look for an elegant mani!

If You Musk- dark blue base with copper to gold shifting shimmer. The shimmer in this one is just like in a previous polish I reviewed called Bombilate which has a much lighter blue base. If you enjoyed that one, you may like this one too!

Not for the Faint of Heart…Notes- black to pale pink thermal loaded with pink to green shifting micro flakie shimmer and holo flakies. May stain. Reminds me a bit of the throwback, only it's more pink and the "black" appears to me as a much darker brown. With a generous flakie load it seems to be a bit more shifty than the throwback. Definitely different enough to have both!

Run On Scent-ence- warm brown base with intense pink to orange to gold shifting shimmer. A delicately sheer finish with a lot of shift is what this one is giving. I enjoyed wearing it.

Stop and Smell the Roses- peachy pink base with pink to orange to gold shifting micro flakies and chunky holo. A little bit similar to Eau de Humanity, but in a pink colorway.

You’re a Scentsation- plummy base with silver magnetic pull and pink to orange shifting shimmer. First two nails are velvet style, last two are zig-zag. It looks great both ways!
