Dana O' Shee!! And Chimera, too. -
...do you pronouce all this Lovecraftness? I read some stuff on the different pronunciations of Cthulhu, but how in the world do you pronounce R'lyeh? Or Nyarlathotep? Umm, yeah, I should probably go to sleep, shouldn't I?

I missed out on buying a bottle of the vanilla bean single note, and I crave vanilla. I love Snake Oil, but I also want a vanilla scent without the spice. Regan was more orchid than vanilla on me. I want a sugar vanilla smell that isn't "candle-y". Any recs?

in the vial: Something strong and foresty with a dusty red background. on my skin: Dragon's blood ()...only this isn't the juicy, seductive dragon's blood I'm used to...it's dry, very dry. It's powdery, but not the icky baby powder kind of powdery, it's a comforting kind of powdery. It has a dusty, slightly candy-like quality. It's definitely not overly sweet, but the dragon's blood gives it a faint cherry note. It has a lovely, spicy kick underneath. Yummy. I like this blend a lot. I actually got a couple compliments on it today (woohoo!). Whoa. I just read that someone said it smelled like mole. That it does. I'm hungry now.

Yeah, Saturnalia was dark, lizard green tinged with purple for me, too. I wouldn't call it a "purple" scent, either. The scents I've tried that smell purple to me are: Queen Of Spades Wanda The Raven (not too crazy about this one, personally, but it is very purple) Twilight Oneiroi Bewitched (purple and forest green) my two cents.

Yeah, I'm going to miss Allegory a lot, too. I haven't tried Jabberwocky yet, but I'll definitely buy some now. -
The only oils I've tried that contain jasmine that I've really liked are The Caterpillar, Oneiroi, Venom and Twilight. Black Dahlia's VERY jasminey, too, infact it was actually TOO jasminey for my tastes. Hope that helps. You might wanna order the single note jasmine before it goes away, too.

in the bottle: Gummy bears! EEEEE!! on my skin: OH YES. Heady, hypnotic, velvety, tangy dragon's blood with yummy fruity flavors. Tart, red, juicy, currant-y fruity flavors. The amber and heliotrope are divine in the mix. This is just too delicious.:yum:

Wolf's Heart, maybe?

Oils to relax, calm, soothe, restore your sanity...

another vote for Dragon's Milk (I can never live without this scent ever again!), Dana O' Shee and Oneiroi. -
in the vial: Pale bamboo green color...reminds me of something, but I can't place it. on my skin: Kind of soapy, but pleasant. I get the warm milk with honey smell, and it's very, very nice. This doesn't remind me of Dana O' Shee or anything, though, because of its slight soapy greenness. It reminds me of when you just get out of the shower after using yummy shea butter soap. A comforting scent.
-
in the vial: Peppermint. Just peppermint... on my skin: Peppermint and an aquatic note? A weird public swimming pool scent. I'll be curious to read all the ingredients once it's released...I think I'll be swapping this one, though. It's just not me. :shrug:

My review is exactly what hypothermya said. She phrased it pefectly for me. I also get Witch's Dagger's mistletoe note, though. This is so good I can't stand it. I'm SO glad I have a 5ml of this... ...But will a 5ml be enough?
-
This makes me think of Go Go from Kill Bill. It's Gothic Lolita and completely criminally insane. It smells like childlike Japanese candy, but vaguely sexual and EVIL in the most attractive, sexy villainess way. It's got pigtails and a samurai sword. I think she's a pyro. I dig.
-
in the vial: Holy shit, dude. I love this. It's all mossy and foresty and cinnamony and dark. YEAH, MAN!! This is what I'm fuckin' talkin' about. on my skin: Wooooow. I can't find the right words to properly describe this. This is such a perfect "me" oil. It's earthy, mossy, hot, spicy and sexy. Oh man, I am so in love with this. I am so buying a big bottle. Hamadryad fucking ROCKS BALLS!!
