    What do bottles and labels look like?

    I know this might be an odd request, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the label for the Ultraviolet scent looks like? Is it the generic with just the name or does it have a picture? If it does have a picture, could someone show me what it looks like?

    Temperature and BPAL

    Hooboy, I got the shipping notice for my last order while at the airport, but now I'm trapped away from home due to the baaaad snow storm in NJ. At what point does a bottle freeze over? I can't get a flight home till Thurs!

    Halloween: Brooklyn

    HALLOWEEN: BROOKLYN When I was very little, my father took me to the Green-Wood Cemetery so that I could pay my respects to those who had passed before us. I remember the afternoon as cold and clear, I remember picking up pine cones and putting them in my mother’s handbag, and I remember the blanket of purple flowers that dotted the grass. Flowering dogwood, weeping cherry, Korean pine, camellia, moonflower, Alberta spruce, arborvitae, and crab apples. The spruce stood out the most in the bottle, almost so much that it scared me. On the dry down, the other scents I so wanted started to emerge, the dogwood started to take the forefront thank goodness! It becomes far more floral, I can detect the moonflower which I love and over all I get a greeny-floral scent, but it seems to fade rather quickly on me. I was pleasantly surprised over all, but sad that it doesn't seem to stand out more. I'm definitely keeping this one though.

    Ghoulish

    While wet, it was overwhelming amaretto. It was almost bitter and one note. As it dried however, the other scents came out, first the cherry, then the saffron, and lastly the coconut. Ironically, the amaretto has now taken a complete backseat to the rest. It doesn't seem to have much throw though, I have to just about hold my wrist up to my face to smell anything. It's delicious, but I wish it was more outstanding.

    Cykranoshian Catnip

    Wow, this was zippy sweet spice to me. Just a little something with the spice that made me think of radioactive glowing green. Definitely picking up a woody scent, but the sweetness is delicate but well balanced with the catnip spice. Maybe just a tiny burn from the citrus, but it's not overpowering. I surprisingly like it a lot more than I thought I would.

    Rosy Maple

    Sweetness, just pure sweet delectableness. While there was a subtle blend of different notes in the bottle, on the dry down I get almost pure sweat pea and cotton candy. I thought Skytyping with Chemtrails was candy like, but this one really amps up the sugars. I don't get much berry or lemon at all, maybe a hint of vanilla.

    Luna

    Mmmm, limey, minty, sweet pear. To me it's very light and sweet. Mellows a bit on the drydown. I don't get much spiciness out of it at all, so actually I love it more than I hoped for!!

    Spicebush Swallowtail

    Out of the bottle it was... Chinese dried salty plum candy! Yes, that sounds weird, but any Chinese kid is going remember eating this at some point and the memory of it just hit me soon as the scent got to my nose. The dry down brings out more clove, the sassafras fading but there's still a lot of brown sugar and plum. Very interesting combination. I like it.

    Deadly Nightshade Honey

    Out of the bottle, something dark almost herbal, not that sweet. On the dry down, oh this grows beautifully! The honey really emerges and really goes well with the nightshade. It's a hint of spicy-herb but floral too, a deep and dark scent. Wow, I love this one. Sweet scents really work for me, but this is one that's not too floral and foody. Reminiscent of some of the wine based scents.

    Bette Noir

    First impression out of the bottle: Plumy, creamy and smokey, the faintest tang of citrus, lovely deep and fruity. Wow! Drying down, the sharpness of the myrrh starts to emerge, taking out some of the fruitiness. Benzoin's a bit more notable now too. Still smokey, enough to tickle my nose slightly, but that beautiful deep plum is taking a back seat unfortunately. If I can keep that wet scent going in a locket or something, this would be fantastic. Over all, pretty nice, but I wish the plum would be more prominent.

    Bluebeard

    Very woody herbal while wet. I normally hate vetiver, but it's beating the violets and lavender into submission. On the dry down, the white musk starts to emerge, blending with the vetiver and mellowing it out even more. Actually quite pleasant to me now, totally surprised. I'm not getting the whole angry thing out of this one, but as a scent by itself, it grew on me.

    Kaidan

    Plumy and rosehips, very nice while wet. On the dry down, the spice suddenly jumps out at me, very incensy too, but still a bit floral. After a while, the floral remains, the spice backs off a bit thankfully, but over all this is a fairly strong, almost sharp scent.

    Doll's Eye Infused Honey

    Very herbal, with the faintest spiciness to me that reminds me of geranium stems. Very little sweetness at all while in the bottle/wet. On the dry down, I get more minty scent with a touch of bitter-woody, but still not very honey-like to me.

    Staged Moon Landing

    I got this one because I loved the orris in Silver Phoenix and wet in the bottle, they are indeed very similar. A little more metallic and sharper though, not as sweet. Drydown - The dusty vanilla comes through, there's almost none of the soft orris left. It's more like what expected out of something called 'staged moon landing'. The undertone is a lot sharper, and that's where the sandalwood and galbanum become detectable. Definitely for those days you want something a little spicy and not too sweet.

    Skytyping with Chemtrails

    Wet: Candied herbs, must be that lemongrass giving me that herbalish touch. Dry: Still sweet, more citrusy with a hint of the white musk showing up now. Turning into lemon candy. Delicious lemon candy. Oh definitely improved while wearing, at least with my chemistry. It's turning into something that makes me want to lick my own wrist.
