    Nemesis

    I really can't stand patchouli, it makes me feel sick. Luckily I don't detect any at all here! Strangely, to me this smells like chocolate-raspberry sweets! The ones I used to get when I was younger in pick 'n' mix with the red wrappers.

    Gunpowder

    I'll second that! This is certainly unique and unusual. I like it but can't work out why it seems so familiar, and I can't even seem to detect any notes from it either! I'll edit this in time if I can tell what it is..!

    John Barleycorn

    I can smell allsorts from this..how peculiar! From the bottle I'm sure I detect a hint of banana?!? On skin it's very musky, perhaps a bit masculine? Not sure on this one..

    Sticky Pillowcase

    This is sweet without being sickly or overpowering. I was imagining it to be like Hollywood Babylon but luckily it's not. This is now my 2nd favourite of all time!! (Pickled Imp in 1st place of course). Saying that though, I haven't really given the rest of the box a chance yet have I!

    Snow, Glass, Apples

    In the bottle this smells like green fizzy apples. I was a bit worried about this initially because 'apple-y' apple scents don't usually work too well on me. On skin this is..perfection! Subtle apple note still but it's more than wearable and absolutely gorgeous. Wish I had more bottles of this for future, but I just feel lucky that I got one in the first place.

    Gluttony

    I might've reviewed this a year ago as one of my first ever reviews, but either way I think it deserves another more up-to-date one since my tastes have matured! A gorgeously food-y scent with maybe a hint of cinnamon? I keep getting whiffs of warm fruit cake perhaps too? Dunno, but I want a bottle now! Ps. When I first sniffed this roughly a year ago, I thought it was rather sickly and unwearable. Oh how times have changed!
  7. Do you mean the body bar? I think it and TKO smell a lot a like. In fact, my mom loves Soft Touch, so I bought her a bottle of TKO for her birthday and she agreed that they smell similar. Ooh I'll have to get a bottle of that, thank you! (I hadn't even looked into this section before, so wouldn't have spotted it myself). Thanks!
  8. I would LOVE a BPAL similar to Lush's Soft Touch massage bar. Anyone??

    Carnal

    Can't say I detect any fig, 'cause I wouldn't know it if it grew legs and walked right under my nose! This does, however, smell very fruity and fresh. Indescribeable really!

    Arkham

    I can't pick out any single notes..all I can say is it smells 'green'!?!

    Magus

    This smells like the inside of a shed on a hot day..wood wood wood! I do like this one but can't see it as a perfume for wearing; maybe in a burner instead.

    Baghdad

    This is a very masculine scent in my opinion. Unfortunately I couldn't single out any notes though. Looks like this'll be going to a (hopefully) more loving home!

    Rapture

    Rose and jasmine! This is lovely. I can wear this and pretend it's a proper Summer!

    Samhain

    Appley appledy apples! With spices.

    Fascinum

    In the imp this smells quite masculine and not something I'd usually go for, so I'm glad I gave it a chance on skin. Spicy cola!

    Amaretto!

    Tiresias, the Androgyne

    Dark, moody, and bittersweet: black currant, patchouli, tobacco, cinnamon leaf, caramel, muguet, and red sandalwood. I was eager to try this because of the caramel but unfortunately I didn't detect any! I wore it today and the checkout girl at Asda gave me an honest opinion on it: Her: Ooh, what perfume are you wearing? It smells..different. Me: What do you think it smells like? Her: Really nice, like coffee scented candles. Charming! I see what she's saying though, it does. Nevermind!

    This smells like mud!

    Severin

    This was on my imp wishlist and arrived this morning as a frimp..thank you Labbies! Well, I like it but it's not what I expected. As much as I tried to sense the tea, it just wasn't there. All I could smell was strong aniseed with a lemony undertone. It's interesting but only time will tell as to whether or not it's wearable. If not, it'll be good as a room scent at least.

    Harlot

    Wow, this is really lovely! I like that the cinammon doesn't dominate; it's lots and lots of rose with a *hint* of cinammon. It's a winner!

    Boomslang

    I expected this to be very chocolate-y, on the same level of Candy Butcher maybe. It certainly is chocolate-y but the Snake Oil stands out very much. That's not a bad thing though, 'cause I like Snake Oil anyway. It's a keeper! *I've just tried it on skin and all of the chocolate fades, leaving me with pure Snake Oil! Nevermind! Just means that even though it's a keeper it isn't hoard-worthy, therefore saving me pennies!*

    Night-Gaunt

    Anyone remember tropical Opal Fruits? This is it.

    Miskatonic University

    Wow, this is lovely!! Coffee and chocolate with a hint of whisky. I'm glad it lived up to my expectations. I have a terribley wasteful habit of getting cups of coffee at work just to have on my desk for the smell. I like the smell of coffee, but not the taste. Now there'll be no more wasted coffees!

    Cytherea

    In the bottle I really can't smell hardly anything at all, sadly. On skin it turns to pure sandlewood for me, like a single note. Sale/swaps I'm 'fraid..

    The Torture Queen

    I can't smell any vanilla in this as expected. To be honest there's not one note I can pick out from this..confusing! It is fresssh and reminds me of a perfume I wore years ago. It's a keeper!
