    Womb Furie

    This is lovely, definitely a slightly sweeter, softer, lighter version of Snake Oil. Not a whole lot of throw - a plus in this case as it means I can wear it to work! I have to see if I can get a hold of some more of this, I can see it becoming a favorite.

    Sprinklecake

    In the bottle this smells divine, sweet vanilla and icing sugar with maybe a hint of something like caramel or toffee, on my skin however all I can smell is the sugar, it's almost violently sweet(a very sickly sweet at that), with a lot of throw and not something I would ever wear again.

    Detestable Putrescence

    Just got this today as part of a swap and I love it! I was worried at first because in the bottle I could smell the plastic/artifical undertone that other reviewers have mentioned but the moment it hit my skin that disappeared and I'm left with a soft sweet vanilla - a very comforting scent and long lasting too, I put this on about 8hrs ago and although it's fading down now it's still holding on.

    Dark Chocolate, Lime and Chocolate Mint

    This reminds me strongly of the scent of "After Eight" mints, strong dark chocolate and sweet mint, it smells fantastic but I can't see myself wearing it as it left me craving chocolate both times I tested it . Might be my nose but I can't smell the lime at all in this.

    Atlas

    I love this! I know there is no vanilla listed in the notes but on my skin this comes across as a quite strong fairly dark vanilla with a hint of vetiver and the tiniest splash of coffee poking through every now and again. Lovely!

    Chaos Theory III: Strange Attractors

    CLXXIX (179) A very light somewhat masculine scent, all green tea and white musk on my skin. Very fresh and clean smelling but not my type of thing at all. CCXXXVI (236) Lovely creamy butterscotch, very similar to Chaste Moon but without the slight floral tinge. DCLXIII (662) Apple and violets, just a little soapy to start off with. I'm undecided about this one, I like the notes individually but I'm not sure I enjoy them together. DCLXXXVI (686) Lovely light and girly, an almost fizzy fresh sweet scent. The only notes I can pick out are strawberry and heliotrope and they mesh beautifully. A great summer fragrance.

    Sleepy Moon

    In the bottle this seemed to be solely a rather sharp aggressive lavender, much feistier than in most of the somnium blends and a little off putting. The moment it touched my skin the lavender faded to just a hint and the sandalwood and chamomile took centre stage and wow what a difference! Incredibly comforting and calming and probably my favorite lunacy so far.

    Snake Oil

    Sweet, creamy and spicy on my skin, nice but not as gorgeous as I was expecting. I usually love this sort of scent with a passion but for some reason I can't put my finger on, it just doesn't grab me. I will say that I've had more complements and male attention whilst wearing this than I've had in a good long time so I have ordered a bigger bottle and may designate this my pulling scent. ETA: I seem to be getting more fond of this each time I wear it and I am reaching for it much more often than I would have guessed, it really grows on you.

    Black Rose

    This is not at all like I expected but lovely none the less. On my skin it's a very warm spicy rose with only the slightest hint of musk, it's very potent with a lot of throw and real staying power (roughly 14 hrs) and just seems to get more lush and decadent throughout the day. This is definitely going to become a staple for me as I can see my self wearing it often.

    Chaos Theory II : The Butterfly Effect

    Chaos Theory II - DCXIV (614) In the bottle - Cherry, very strong cherry. Wet on the skin - Cherry flavoured bubble gum and this blend has quite a throw (a fellow three cubicles over is asking where the cherry smell is coming from. must remember not to test perfume in work) . Dry - Still cherry bubble gum but with something creamy making an appearance now and then. Five hours later - I can still smell cherry bubble gum but it's much softer and creamy now. This blend has definite lasting power, I could still smell it eight hours after I applied it. Unfortunately it's not a scent I would wear often if at all. I think it would be a great blend for a much younger woman or a least someone much younger at heart . It's rather innocent and carefree and just not my cup of tea. Oh well off to the swap pile.

    Laudanum

    I really loved the description of this and I was ready to love this sent in the vial (so spicy and crisp at the same time yummy!), but the second it hit my skin it went to smoke and a rather acrid black burning rubber type of smoke at that, this one really seems to hate my skin. The smoke smell dies off after about an hour leaving a quite pleasent spicy scent but I don't think I'd be willing to go through the burning phase again so off it goes to the swap pile.

    Kether

    I didn't get any woody or resinous notes from this, it's nice warm foody almond on me with something else sweet lurking in the background. It took me ages to work out what the scent reminded me of and it's Paris Brest cream cakes . A very warm, calming comforting blend.

    Maenad

    I love this, but as another reviewer mentioned I feel too old to wear it. It smells very youthful and girly to me. I can smell the strawberry and I would swear that there was some sweet apple in this too, although it doesn't mention any in the description, it seems so light, fruity and innocent, but has a darker almost menacing undertone which makes the fragrance a most appealing dichotomy. Unusual and contradictory, I may get a bottle just for those days when I do still feel footloose and fancy free.

    Grog

    In the imp I could smell the butterscotch and nice boozy undertone, but the second it went on my skin a strong coconut note appeared out of nowhere and clobbered the butterscotch into retreat. After about an hour the boozy rum scent manages to sneak back in a bit and combined with the coconut makes me think of Malibu coconut rum, as luck would have it I love Malibu. Not what I was expecting but a really moreish fragrance. I will have to get a big bottle of this.

    Chaste Moon 2005

    I got my chaste moon order this morning and I have to say that I really love this scent. On me it smells kind of like Werther's Original sweets, creamy, buttery and altogether scrumptious! It's also lasting rather well on my skin, it's been six hours since I put some on and the scent is still quite stong although now I can smell something a little spicy beneath all the cream, it's still lovely. Definately a keeper!
