    Delirium

    I like this a lot. Apple and rose make a good combination, whatever lemon might be in there is so subdued I don't notice it. Sniffing it makes me feel heady..<3 the character Delirium.

    Antony

    The embodiment of Classic masculinity. A warrior's scent: the green hills and grasses of the battlefields, the resinous incense from the prayers to his Gods, and a touch of the musky leather of his armor. Ambergris and frankincense with sage, and basil. This smells very masculine and fresh. A lot like Old Spice, imo. edited to include lab description.

    Athens

    In the imp this smells like wine. Dry, it's flowers and myrrh with a bit of honey.

    Bastet

    Wet, pure almond. Dry, a sweet honeyed incense-amber. It's like a more elegant Sed Non Satiata.

    The Buggre Alle This Bible

    This was mostly incense on my skin till the drydown, after which it developed a rather pretty cedar/paper-ish note and the leather became more recognizable. It strikes me as a rather masculine scent and isn't really my style.

    Sunbird

    I don't how to describe this, or pick out the individual notes. But it's evocative of an endless, scorched desert..acres of sand..and a wisp of cinnamon incense. That's what Sunbird smells like to me.

    Lilith Victoria

    I love this one so much. It's gorgeous and innocently beautiful, a lavender Dorian with Snake Oil that doesn't turn plastic on my skin. So goddamn lovely. sigh. /inhales wrist

    Velvet

    This is pretty...it's like chocolate and cedar shavings...fresh...slightly astringent. It reminds me of those truffles you get in the little foil gold wrappers...heady and rich yet with an dry, crumbly airiness.

    Port-Au-Prince

    This is nice. In the imp it's almost all almond, but applied it smells like cloves and spice and rum. Rather masculine too, I'd like to smell this on a guy.

    Eve

    This is incredibly gorgeous. Wet crisp apple and a smidgen of rose, with ylang ylang adding an airiness. Ethereal and so wistful, love and loss in a vial. I may have to get a bottle of this.

    The Pool of Tears

    This is light and fresh. Definitely some lavender in there, and then salty floral aquatic on the drydown. If aquatics are your thing, try this one.

    Nuit

    The best I can describe this one is a salty musk. The florals are not at all sweet. It's very exotic and slightly incense-y, and pretty, but not really my style.

    Yemaya

    Whoa! This is straight up melon - sweet and juicy. Yum! If you love melon, definately try this one!

    Sophia

    I was really looking forward to trying this scent. I love lavender. That being said, this is exactly what pepto bismo smells like to me. Pass.

    Pumpkin V (2008)

    Pleasant spicey pumpkin with a hint of florals. This is pretty, but for me it doesn't stand out from the other pumpkin scents.

    Pumpkin IV (2008)

    Pumpkin and cedar and tobacco, with the sage coming out more prominently after the drydown. This is a homey, comforting scent, a flannel shirt next to a roaring fire. I'm so glad I got to try it.

    The Raven

    The notes in The Raven are very straightforward - violet, balsamy sandlewood, and a slight whiff of sour neroli peeking around the edges. It's somehow dark purple and mysterious and yet playful. Very evocative. I'm glad I have a bottle.

    Water of Notre Dame

    This is citrus and then rosewater, pretty but generic..and on the drydown there's something distinctly metallic. Darn, I thought I would like this one.

    Dragon's Bone

    I'm getting mostly orris and sandlewood, with a wisp of fruity dragon's blood. It's okay, but I'd rather have MORE dragon's blood..I wonder if that note would become more prominent with age..

    Regan

    This smelled like florals mixed with suntan lotion. Very odd.
  21. topazphoenix

    Lilith

    This is a pretty wine with hints of roses and spicey myrrh.
  22. topazphoenix

    Magdalene

    This is a light, powdery, indistinct floral. It's pretty but rather unremarkable on my wrist.
  23. topazphoenix

    Hellfire

    I don't know why I'm not getting hot leather, but rather something kind of minty. Blah.

    Ave Maria Gratia Plena

    This smells like a soapy, sandalwoody jasmine with lemon. I don't like it as much as I thought I was going to

    Spinning Multicolored Metallic Pinwheel

    Wow! This is incredibly fizzy. Just so genuinely fizzy, like a carbonated drink. There's a medley of fruits like grape....it smells like fruit punch.
