  1. Mostly what I get from this is apricot--I can tell something is there keeping it from being in-your-face OMGAPRICOT, and I am left with a soft, juicy scent that makes me really want to eat fruit now. I can smell the juiciness. I don't know if I need a bottle, but I would definitely like to find another imp...

    Diwali

    At first I get mostly soft fruit, slightly creamy--I get just a hint of artificial fruit from it, unfortunately, kind of like a slurpee...then most of the scent disappears and all I get is a sweet, slightly floral cream leftover. That scent is good, if I stick my nose on my skin and breathe really deeply, but mostly I can't tell it's there. I think it could work, but mostly my problem is the lack of throw.

    Litha 2006

    I can smell the honey, but Litha is otherwise a very herbal scent. It's not listed, but I smell lemon in there as well. Very bright and green, slightly sweet. Nice.

    Strawberry Moon 2005

    Very heavy and sweet---way too much so for me; it reminds me of sticky syrup, almost fake-smelling. A pass, I think.

    Honey and Beeswax scents

    Also third or so on Hanerot Halalu...definite strong beeswax.
  8. GalaxyLei

    Swan Maiden

    Such a nice, light floral...not overpowering at all, like some can be...I must get more imps to fill up my bottle!

    Eggnog Latte

    Holy coffee, Batman! I get latte more than eggnog, but there is a sweet buttery note in there too to make it complete--tasty holiday goodness!

    Bensiabel

    When I tried this at Bats Day, it was a wonderful sweet leather blend...now what I get from my own bottle is sweet tarts. Maybe after it ages a bit it will be better?

    Jacob's Ladder

    I can't really place the notes in this...I just get a warm, woody sort of smell, like sitting in a cabin in front of a fire. Really makes a difference when it's so cold outside...
  12. GalaxyLei

    Eclipse

    In the imp: STRONG sickly-sweet cherry...I am guessing this is the almonds misbehaving? In any case, had to close the imp without even testing this one, it was that harsh.

    Rangoon Riptide

    Pure piña colada...in fact, it smells a bit like that flavor slurpee, which makes me almost miss the crazy sugar rush fizzy thing it does, but I don't really fancy smelling like it when all is said and done.

    Frau Holle

    Well I certainly expected it to be somewhat like Hexennacht 08...I would agree, but say this is more directly pine-y than that...here, I smell trees, but they are cold, wet trees, which I can only suppose is a result of the snow note, though I haven't really been around snow very much. It's very fresh and green, and definitely Christmassy.

    White Phoenix

    A very gentle, white floral--soft; I smell some vanilla in my bottle too. The imp I have is slightly spicier...once the bottle ages to the same level the whole thing will be gorgeous! Yay!

    Berry Scents - Blackberry, Red Berries

    The Oblation smells to me like wandering around by a blackberry bush.

    Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2006)

    I get an extremely smoky scent--probably the patchouli--with a slight hint of flowers underneath. Mostly I think it smells like burnt incense sticks. Too overwhelming for me.

    White Rabbit

    Mmm, spicy, sweet, and clean! I may need a bottle of this yet...

    Snake Charmer

    Tried some thanks to Catseyes, and I get a musty vanilla-coconut, and not much else comes out when it's dry. Not for me.
  20. GalaxyLei

    Gelt

    Didn't get a chance to try this on, but in the bottle it is dry cocoa powder--I must obtain an imp of this!
  21. GalaxyLei

    Katrina van Tassel

    Rose, with almost overpowering sweetness on top of it, which I can only surmise is a result of the other components. Bah.
  22. GalaxyLei

    Dorian

    I get a warm, comforting tea smell--my friend says it smells like baking. In any case, this is one of my favorites.
  23. GalaxyLei

    Scherezade

    It smells like a bookstore full of incense and crystals and mystical objects...and the wear-length is incredible; it lasts all day long on me. This was one of my first bottles, and it continues to get better as it ages!
  24. GalaxyLei

    Lilith Victoria

    Snake Oil blended with Dorian, plus soft vanilla flower, lily of the valley, lavender, and fennel. I get a lavender-y Dorian, mostly, which is fine for me since I love Dorian, so this definitely is a hit here.

    Gingerbread Poppet

    2007 is a soft, still warm gingerbread cookie...and I want to eat my arm now
