First, I love the scents. London was less strong than the others (which is not a complaint - I like having a variety of scent strengths) and has a complex and intriguing scent. It's my favorite of this set, followed closely by Queens and monsters. Queens and monsters is much stronger, and I love the indulgent warm fragrance. Ripe was third on my list. To me, the floral fragrance is much stronger than the fruit, and my husband described it as "smells like soap"... But his nose isn't as perceptive as most. Dave was my least favorite of this set, but I will still be using it. It reminded me of a men's cologne. Overall I love these perfumes, and I am so happy to have clean fragrances now!

Got this along with a roller of Dark as Night and Jake's House for my bf for his birthday (his two fav scents so far). I couldn't resist trying out the samples myself and I'm now in love with London 1983 & Dave! London is a subtle, nostalgic & sophisticated scent that lasts a surprisingly long time (I woke up the next morning still smelling it lingering on my wrist). Dave is a warm and comforting vanilla based scent with a subtle powdery sweetness to it. Both are absolutly intoxicating and addictive and blend well if you want to layer them but also are amazing alone. Queens and Monsters is fresh & green & slightly floral with a hint of beeswax. I normally don't like florals but this is well balanced. All 3 could easily be worn by men or women. Ripe is the only one I can't stand. It smells toxic to me. It has this sickening overpowering sweet floral scent that makes it smell like cheap perfume teen girls wear. The fruit scent vanishes right away and you are left with an overly powdery floral. I'm surprised anyone would buy it.
