I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater: Tokyo Milk Fragrances
I first heard of this line after reading one of Jessica's reviews on Now Smell This. I loved the hodgepodge of notes and the adorable Esty-like packaging. These niche scents are carried at selected Anthropologie stores and Beautyhabit.com. My local Anthropologie did not carry the whole line but had a respectable number to test. I was impressed with the quality of the juice. The gardenia was beyond creamy and worthy of being in a Monyette Paris bottle. The lasting power was fair. I reapplied my scent every 4-5 hours. This means that I will go through my bottles like water. The price makes this fact less painful. The bottles retail for $28.
Sparrow's notes are Neroli (strong, creamy and heavenly!) & Citrus, crisp greens(whispery light), creamy Gardenia, and a drydown of Rosewood.
Song in D's(my personal favorite) notes are White Orchid, Orange Flower, Gardenia and Amber. This is lovely and sweet.
I want Candy's notes are a Crisp Apple, a bucket full of sweet Peaches, and a drydown of Violets and Roses. This is very light and perfect for the upcoming summer months.

My favorite of these is Honey and the Moon -- warm and sweet and alluring. It's got honey, jasmine, sugared violet, and sandalwood. I actually wore it on Valentine's Day! (Not that anything actually *happened*, but it was still my Valentine's Day choice.)
I also recommend Gin and Rosewater! I didn't find that one at Anthropologie, but citrus-and-rose lovers should check it out.
I agree, the packaging for this line is adorable. Thank you for describing the scents in such detail, it really makes me want to give them a try. From your descriptions, it sounds like they are delicious! The Song in D Minor will probably be my favorite too, I LOVE gardenia!
Just got a bunch of their lip balm pots. you must try them!!
Jeanne: I thought that one was a stunner! The honey note was so rich and strong...yet not overpowering.
I would love to try all of these. They were a wonderful surprise and so well done.
Caroline: You will love Sparrow too!!!!
