Anyone feeling creative?

General
I've got (at least) 12 new scents I'd like to cook up with my caffeine soap, but I think I want to give some of them more "fandom oriented" scents than the standard names they come with from my supplier.
So! Here's an example of what I'm going for: I have a scent that's cedarwood, musk, and nag champa incense, and it's called Sapphire Dragon. Sure, none of those scents have anything to do with dragons (it was originally cast in a dragon shaped mold, and may have had dragon's blood as another part of the scent matrix), but at this point, it's really just named that to be recognized as one of our own scents. And if people are unsure what they want, there's a possiblity they're more likely to pick Sapphire Dragon over others simply because it has Dragon in the name. I know I've been guilty of shopping like that before!
Anyways, I'm hoping some of you are creative and inspirational and will have great ideas! Also, if you have any label art ideas (or even submissions, if you really want!), I'm open to those as well. Our labels are also stickers - once the bar is opened, people can keep the sticker and use it wherever they'd like, because we package it with the backing still in tact. Here's the scents:
Yuzu - Yuzu is most likely the most popular scent on the market. Also referred to as Japanese Grapefruit, Yuzu is not your ordinary grapefruit scent. Yuzu begins with top notes of mandarin, tangerine, lemon satsuma, and ruby red grapefruit, middle notes of bergamot, and base notes of oakmoss.
Smoke Eliminator - The aroma of juicy lime and lemon zests with hints of herbal cilantro. Covers the smell of foul odors, and great for smokers! (tenative working name: No More Dragon Smoke, with a label of a dragon puffing smoke and a "NO" symbol over the top)
Snozzberry - Snozzberry is a unique blend of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, red currents, teaberries, dewberries, and cloudberries with just a hint of black pepper and cinnamon. (I may keep this name because it's already interesting)
Leather Jacket - The aroma of a brand new leather jacket. (I kid you not, this stuff smells EXACTLY like a new leather jacket, it's uncanny!)
Pineapple Paprika - insanely unique and complex, insanely strong! Pineapple paprika fragrance begins with top notes of pineapple, banana, orange, passion fruit, and mango; followed by middle notes of paprika, powder, and cotton; sitting on base notes of musks and apple woods.
Stormy Nights - An earthy, yet ozonic fragrance blend reminiscent of the way the night smells after a storm. Natures Garden's Stormy Nights fragrance begins with top notes of ozone, fresh air, and white flowers; followed by middle notes of ylang ylang and tuberose; and well balanced with base notes of patchouli and musk. (Sorta reminds me of Yankee Candles MidSummer's Night)
Animalistic Instinct - Sexy and masculine, this intoxicating fragrance has clean citrus notes of orange and lemon with spicy notes of clove, anise, pepper and rose. Notes of vanilla, leather, balsam and warm musks lead to an unforgettable finish. (Because of the amusingly creepy tiger guy in the photo, this may end up with some kind of tiger name, working name right now is Creepy Tiger Guy, although I don't think it'll generate many sales. It's actually a pretty nice scent and would definitely be one I'd reccommend to people shopping for their boyfriends/husbands)
Japanese Cherry Blossom - Oriental and sensual, our Japanese Cherry Blossom scent is a well-rounded blend of pink Japanese cherry blossoms and fragrant mimosa flower petals, with warm base notes of vanilla, Tonka bean, and oriental woods.
Sun, Moon, and Stars - The aroma of fresh green notes of clover and ivy followed by notes of jasmine, and vetiver. Bottom notes of green stem notes. Fresh! (I think this one is delicately floral, but not overly flowery if that makes any sense. If you play WoW, it smells like a Resto Druid's armpit, in a good way)
Pheromones - A classic hot man fragrance; masculine, sexy, and irresistible. Clean and inviting citrus notes of bergamot and grapefruit, open up to a sensual bouquet of white floral and woody violet, grounded by the deeply sensual scent of oakmoss and sandalwood. (Smells pretty much exactly like AXE, which kills
brighton but I think will probably make for pretty brisk sales to the general public.)
Cucumber, Wasabi, and Cilantro - Refreshing spa-like fragrance with top notes of aldehydic fruit notes of grapefruit and lime, with middle notes of fresh cucumber, guava, and passionfruit, and base notes of wasabi, cilantro, and fern.

Snozzberry could be Snozzbeary, a very slight alteration, but still keeping the word in tact.
Pineapple Paprika - Maybe something with monkeys? Those top notes sound like things monkeys would eat.
For Japanese Cherry Blossom, I think it would be a safe idea to choose an asian animal? A gentle one sounds like it'd fit the scent best. My first thought was Kitsune for some reason.
For Pheromones, my first thought was Werewolf, but it doesn't fit the Axe-like smell (I'm pretty sure you already have a Werewolf scent too?). Something big and beasty, yet gentle.
Hope my horribly vague ideas helped! LOL
Sun, Moon, and Stars... a celestial themed name, obviously. I'm not one to really open my mouth to that though, I'm named after a planet!
Stormy Nights...Torrential Downpour? Something involving heavy rain, like that heady smell you get during a thunderstorm.
Drop me a note with any scents and their info if you'd like.
