  1. Wait a moment... why have I never tried this one?!

     

    On the skin: This is fantastic! An amazing blend of vanilla and amber! Wow! I even let my SO sniff it and he just said "Mmmmm, Smells good!" I get a hint of lovely sweet pea floral as time goes on, but thankfully it never completely dominates. A bottle of this will be in my next order!!


  2. CRYPT KING
    You would know the secret of death.
    But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
    The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
    If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
    For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
    In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
    And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
    Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
    Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
    Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
    Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
    For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
    And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
    Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
    And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
    And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

    The Crypt Queen’s dapper consort: pomegranate juice, black pepper, oakmoss, coriander, black ginger, patchouli, dracaena, and a splash of lilac fougere.


    This scent is very interesting!

    On the skin: Hello, pomegranate! This is a lovely, slightly sweet pomegranate with a hint of mossiness and cologne. I want my guy to smell like this!

    After a bit, the cologne and pomegranate back off a bit and I can definitely smell a lovely, spicy almost earthy greenness.

    I feel this would be perfect on the right man, but isn't quite right for my girly self! It is blended amazingly though!

  3. On the skin: Hello, grapefruit! I get loads of grapefruit with some sweetness that I think is the orange blossom and grape. Very grapefruity and effervescent! Reminds me of a grapefruit fizzy drink!

     

    After a bit this becomes less effervescent and turns quite soapy. *sigh* Not for me!

  4. Lawful


    On the skin: A green, wood scent. Hmmm, quite smelly. It turns a bit ashy as time goes on.

     

    Not for me at all. I don't think I could see myself layering this one with anything either.


  5. On the skin: That is some yummy apricot! Almost peachy. Sweet with a slight tartness. There is a deepness to this one that must be from the clove, but I don't actually smell much of the clove itself.

     

    This is very yummy!! I don't see myself wearing this day to day, but I love the smell of it!


  6. On the skin: I think I like this one even better than Hygeia. A smooth cinnamon with a blend of the other notes. Soooooo nice! This cinnamon is so friendly! It reminds me a lot of the cinnamon in Pinched with Four Aces. In fact, this blend reminds me a little of Pinched, but I find it to smell so much better! I think I may have to snag another bottle before they go away!


  7. On the skin: Beautiful rose with a hint of coconut. Oh, no... there is something here that is turning a weird tart/sour/powder. It's not the rose... but whatever it is, it has completely taken over. A greenish tart/sour powder. :( It smells like what I would think the stalk of a weird plant would smell like after it has been freshly cut. (Can't think of a particular plant to compare...) Oh, maybe it is the scent of freshly cut rose stalks. Not the flower itself. With a bit of powder.

     

    *sigh* Not at all what I was hoping for. I think I am going to keep this one around though. The label art is too awesome for me to give up on liking this one! :lol:


  8. On the skin: Red musk and slightly earthy (patchouli?). Oooooh, this is nice. It turns a bit earthier after a bit. Definitely not something I could ever wear to work, but I am definitely liking this one! Turns a little sweeter after a bit.

     

    Oh, I wish I could find a bottle of this one!


  9. On the skin: A soft cinnamon wood. Huh. Not something I would normally expect from a blend with cinnamon! This is actually a very smooth, slightly sweet blend.

     

    Hmmmm, something on my skin is turning even sweeter. Tobacco? Not very strong at all on me though. I really have to lean in to sniff it. Can't smell any cinnamon anymore. Or woods. Just a sweetness.

     

    Quite nice smelling, but it just sticks too close to my skin for my taste.


  10. On the skin: A sweet honey musky ambery scent with florals. This is fantastic! A golden floral. Hmmmmmm, the floral is a bit headachy though. Very very lovely still.

     

    The headachiness fades a little as time goes on. Still a lovely scent that I really like, but I don't think I would wear it often at all. I think this decant will be staying with me though! ;)


  11. Just got this one in the mail, so things might change a bit!

     

    On the skin: I swear I have smelled something like this before. Musky, deep, slightly sweet, perfumey berry. LOVE! :wub2: You know, I think this reminds me of Mme Moriarty only with berry instead of plum. Not as strong though.... Very nice and I think this one will be staying around for a bit!


  12. On the skin: Light, musky, almost clean/green scent. Very interesting! This one sicks very close to my skin. I find this quite lovely. Definitely not what I was expecting. This smells like a freshly showered body. I think I will need to try this one again!

     

    -ETA-

     

    Tried this one again recently!

     

    This one is quite musky with a slight hint of dry sandalwood and vanilla.

     

    I think it is a keeper!


  13. Hello musky lemon! This is very much lemon on me. Thankfully it doesn't seem to turn too artificial on me. After a bit I can smell a bit of the herbs. It is becoming more of a musky lemon with some herbs mixed in. Could be an interesting drink.

     

    Interesting scent that is perfect for summertime.


  14. On the skin: Hmmmm, I really can't smell much of anything. Weird! After a bit I get a bit of herbal honey. Interesting and kind of fuzzy feeling. This is very much honey on me.

     

    I am afraid this scent is not for me. It never really blooms on me. Ah, well...


  15. I'd say this is definitely a Banshee Beat proto.

     

    On the skin: This actually smells a bit like Banshee Beat to me. I never got much vanilla in the released version and it ended up being purely dirt on my skin, but here I can smell the vanilla immediately. A dirty vanilla! Wow, this is fantastic! This scent isn't as strong as Banshee Beat, but I actually like it better this way. More vanilla than the released version, but an overall lighter scent.

     

    I love it! :wub2:


  16. On the skin: Oooooh! It smells.... root beerish to me. A very sweet root beer though. The root beer impression fades pretty quickly though. Now it smells... pretty amazing! Sweet vanilla plus red musk with a hint of pomegranate. Maybe a slight feel of caramel? A surprisingly airy/light scent. Not overpowering at all!

     

    This is a very sexy almost foody scent. I think I am in love and now feel totally justified in swapping for three bottles! ;) Reminds me slightly of Sin, only Sin is a bit stronger and a bit less sweet!

  17. Good


    On the skin: Mmmmmm! A honey sweet musk. Very lovely! I could instantly see this being a perfect blend for wearing to work where stronger scents would be frowned upon. A lovely, sweet musky scent that wafts nicely and isn't heavy or strong. An "aura" perfume!

     

    I don't think I would ever want to wear this scent alone, but I think this is definitely a great layering scent as long as it is paired with something that won't completely drown it out!


  18. On the skin: Hmmmm, I can't smell much. It's slightly sweet, but other than that I really can't smell anything. I think what I smell is floral sweet with a slight musky airiness. Still can't smell too much. I got this imp straight from the lab, so it should be the right scent.... I'll have to edit this post if I get a different imp.
