'05... reminds me more of the snowy element of Cloister Graveyard. A pure snow scent, which I adore. '08... is nothing like the original on me. I get the initial hit of the snow that I adore, but then it turns itself over into the "girly perfume" part and stays there. No snow after five minutes. Disappointing...I'll have to start going after '05 decants again.

A dusky, yet effervescent mix of pomegranate and black currant candies, with a dusting of sugared pear and white apple. Oh, Candy Phoenix... In the decant you smelled a lot like Sticky Pillowcase. But now that I've tried you, I can smell sugared pear. And only sugared pear. You're like Glitter's more pleasant sister.

Metal Phoenix spends its first six hours mimicking Phoenix Steamworks on me. I'd spent my workday sniffing my arm to see if there was a change? nope. Until I got home, upon which I find a slightly metal tang with an overtone of light airiness. Very nice. But I think I'll stick with just a decant.

Like others have said, this version of LICK IT is very similar to Lick It Again. Much sweeter than Lick It One More Time, far less peppermint as well. I didn't get the tingling that I did with LIOMT. The only odd thing I have with LILYMI is that, for some reason, after a few hours, I start to smell cardboard.

Tabella - very pleasant.. light and feminine, which is not what I had expected from the notes listed. I admit, quite a surprise, but a pleasant one. I might have to track down another bottle.

Crimson Christmas Starts out with tart fruit, then quickly morphs into bathroom cleaner. No peppermint, no coolness. Maybe I need to age you for a little while, dear CC?

Holy crap - I just noticed Major Andre's Tree atmospheric spray in your album, TwilightEyes.. That one's gorgeous! (yeah, I'm slow on the draw)

Thank you Tramp!

Ooo! Does anyone have pics of the WC specials yet?

I see some reviews of Yulies already... labels, anyone? I"m particularly curious about Nuclear Winter and Lick It Like You Mean It.

Delousing Powder reminds me oddly of fresh cotton sheets...or possibly linen. It's a very clean scent, but also very soft. It faded almost immediately on me.

John Barleycorn - I didn't have high hopes for you upon sniffing you in the imp, but you surprised me, John... Sweet, sweet like I've had the "hay" smell described to me. None of the booze or blood. Just sweet hay (or barley.) I think this might just be a keeper decant.

Wiley's Swamp.. I did get swampy. Woody aquatic. Bang-on. Unfortunately, it also gave me a headache - I had hopes for this one, but unfortunately I can't wear it.

Aww! I like the yellow dressed Lilith Victoria! I have the red dressed one, which is uber-cute too.

Goblin Rider I have all of the Halloweenies from this year up on my flickr account. (see signature.) They're grouped loosely by category sets. *bookmarks* Thanks for the link!
