On the skin: That is some spicy cardamom. Makes me think of baking. Mmmmmm! I get a slight hint of patchouli as well, but the cardamom completely dominates this one for me.

The spicy slap of the cardamom does smooth out a bit as time goes on, but I still can't really smell any of the other notes. At least, I can't tell if I can.

Ah! I think I can smell a leather/patchouli combination under there! It took awhile, but now I can definitely smell some leather and a hint of slightly dirty patchouli. At this stage.... I LOVE IT! This blend smells really good!

This one will be a keeper for now. I just wish I could tone down the cardamom a bit!

On the skin: Kind of clean smelling with a smear of sweet tobacco. Definitely makes me think of the tobacco from A Bachelor's Dog.

After a bit, the tobacco goes a bit crazy and completely takes over. I can still smell that cleanness underneath, but that sweet tobacco is just overwhelming.

Not for me at all.

On the skin: Creamy slightly woodsy spice! This goes a bit powdery on my skin, but it is quite pleasant.

It's not really for me (the powderiness just makes it smell a bit fake on my skin).

On the skin: This is really fizzy! Ginger ale annnnd.... a creamy sourness as well. Really interesting.

After a bit the fizziness backs off a little. It still smells like creamy ginger lime, but now I am getting an undertone of spice. Really interesting!

I don't think this one is for me, but I am really grateful for the chance to have smelled it!

fairy!

-ETA- Later on, this becomes quite the vanilla cream scent. Now all I can smell is sweet vanilla ice cream!

That is some patchouli and musk! The cocoa disappears immediately on my skin and instead I am left with a blend of dirty patchouli, musk, and woods. To me this smells manly and amazing! It's not really for me, but if I found a man that smelled like this...

After a bit, a sweet, almost vanilla note starts popping in. Reminds me of the parts I liked about Banshee Beat without the overpowering dirt. The cocoa starts to sneak back in a bit later as well, but it isn't overpowering at all.

Wow.... I really like this one the longer it sits on my skin! I think this one is hoard worthy!

to my fairy!

Still slightly getting over a cold, so my sniffer might not be able to smell everything just yet. May need to come back a bit later and edit this review.

I love orchid as a scent (yay for the black orchid proto!), so I knew I needed to try this one!

On the skin: Huh, this one is not quite what I was expecting. I get a smooth orchid scent with a hint of.... lime? Must be that aquatic everyone else is getting. The combination though... it's very sophisticated and sexy! This does feel like the same sort of orchid from the Black Orchid proto which makes me happy!

I'll need to try this one again.

On the skin: Slightly woody (my nose thinks sandalwood but it must be the cedar) and vanilla sweet! Wow! This smells great! Slightly soft, but again it could be my nose. A very comforting/warm scent. I just want to wrap myself in this one and take a nap!

This is similar to Dorian, but I think I like this one better!

Less sweet with a bit of leather. The leather gets a bit stronger as time goes on, but thankfully it is the kind of leather that works on my skin! Kind of a cologneish leather, but better than cologne. Slight lemon tinge.

I need to douse my SO in this! Nice!

On the skin: Whoa! Strong lavender herbal with a powderiness to it. This is really strong! After a bit, the scent turns really sour as well.

This is not for me at all!

On the skin: Pretty, white, and crystalline. Slightly sweet as well. This is a light and pretty scent. Very nice! I think I will keep the decant, but no need to search out a bottle.

On the skin: This one seems to me like an herbal floral. Kinda bitter. I could definitely see this being a great spring/summer scent on the right person.

It does lose a bit of bitterness after a bit, but it just isn't a scent for me.

On the skin: Orangey. Sweet and orangey. It gets a little floral after a bit and less orange.

This is pleasant, but it isn't wowing me like my favorites.

Huh, this one took a 180. I really don't like what it has turned in to. It's weird. I feel bad, but it kinda smells like urine on me now. Icky!

On the skin: This is a lovely rose scent! Very light/delicate. Reminds me of this red rose I planted in the front yard of my childhood home.

Huh, this one smells a little weird on me suddenly. Kind of... buttery?

I like how light and lovely this is, but it just turned a little weird on me.

I have really wanted to love this one for so long now! All the notes, save almond, sound amazing! For some odd reason, though, this one always manages to smell like cough syrup on me. Almondy cough syrup. I will still try every imp I receive in hopes that it will someday work on me.

Why, Bastet, why?

Almond and milk are normally death notes for me, so here goes!

On the skin: Wow, that is some extremely strong almond. A strong buttery almond.

Huh, after a bit this makes me think of popcorn! Buttery popcorn.

This one is really bad on me!

On the skin: This is kinda.... fruity! Not at all what I was expecting based on the description! Some sort of slightly charred fruit? Maybe plum? Not really sure.

Huh, after a bit it doesn't smell quite as fruity. I'd say it is more of a spicy, slightly floral woody scent. Really strange. Sounds like something I would normally love, but for some odd reason this blend is not sitting well on my skin. It is actually a fairly light scent.

Not for me at all.

On the skin: Dusty herbs and florals with a metallic hint. After a bit the florals fade slightly and it gets a little sweeter. The herbs get a bit stronger.

Too herby for me.

On the skin: Definitely a clean aquatic scent. Smells very airy and like a really nice laundry detergent. Not for me at all.

I never really smell much of the blood note as far as I can tell. Just the ocean/aquatic/ozone.

On the skin: This is very sweet! A hint of powderiness, but mostly I smell honey sweet tarts? Smells kinda good! Not sure if it is me...

After a bit, all I can smell is sweet dragon's blood. It doesn't quite turn to suntan lotion like normal, but it definitely isn't for me.

On the skin: Lovely floral and tea! This is very pretty and pleasantly light. Makes me think of a nice spring morning with a light cup of tea. Maybe with a hint of sweet vanilla? Reminds me a bit of The Unicorn.

This is definitely one of the best tea blends I have ever smelled!

Pretty floral with a bit of greeness to it. Pretty, but not for me. It's just too strong for me.

Wow, this one turns to soap on me after a bit. Still pretty strong...

Definitely red musk with a hint of spices. Is that some vetiver or patchouli? Smells a little dirty. I think I like this one.

Later: Lovely, sweet kinda vanillaish spice. I really like this one!

Eep! This doesn't make sense to me at all, but..... This smells like minty meat on me. Kinda like those chalky lifesaver mints with a side of those bacon dog treats. Weird!

A dirty orange blossom with a hint of spicy ginger. Hmmmm, the patchouli kinda takes over really quickly and smells to me like dirt and orange with a side of blossom. Slightly makes me think of Ravenous, only lighter on the fruit and heavier on the blossom. I like it, but it just isn't me.

Later: this one loses all the dirt and instead becomes all lovely, sweet orange blossom. I like it in the dry down, but I'm not sure if it's me.

A sweet floral that isn't quite like any other floral I've smelled. It's a pretty, sweet, slightly green floral. I think I might need to try this one again. I just can't decide if I like it or not.

Later: This is just yummy! My SO doesn't like it too much, but I do! Nice and pleasantly spicy.
