    Santa Muerte

    In Vial: Whoa! Earthy Wet: Smells muddy but then there is something soft in the background that smells like baby powder. Dry: Very earthy still with a soft mellow, powdery scent.

    Fairy Wine

    In Vial: Sweet garden with a hint of green Wet: Light, sweet and fresh. This smells so juicy, like biting into fruit and the juice runs down your chin. Later: This fades fast and is better wet, it is really wonderful wet. On drydown this just sort of goes blah and there is not much to it.

    Embalming Fluid

    in vial. green tea and citrus wet. This smells like it has grapefruit in it to me even though I know it is not mentioned. Must be the lemon. This reminds me a lot of F5 but with the added lemon. They both have similar notes as well. later. Staying power is great! It is fresh. Would be a great everyday scent. I need more.

    High John the Conqueror

    in vial. nice and mellow wet. this smells like something old. I know I mention my Grandfather alot in my reviews, but when blends smell of something very old it reminds me of him and the different scents in his bathroom cabinet. From tonics to cologne, from toothpaste and mouth wash. It was a completely different era and I love remembering it. later. aged perfume, not necessarily feminine.

    Sunrise With Sea-Monsters

    In Vial: Smells fresh. Wet: Mmm. I really like this. I'm not sure how to classify it. It's not completely aquatic nor completely green. Its like a mix of both with a background of fresh and clean. Later: This gets stronger. Turns a little perfumey which takes away from the "freshness" of the scent. This is not bad but I don't love it. The dry down of this is similar to Cancer.

    Blood Kiss

    In Vial: Smells like bit-o-honey candy Wet: Mellow. Like old wood and honey Later: Hasn't really changed much. Has gotten stronger and the notes are more blended together but still smells very much like wood and honey.

    Harvest Moon 2006

    In Vial: Sweet with an outdoor fall smell and a hint of pine Wet: Still sweet, yummy with a hint of menthol. Not sure which note that would be. Also getting an apple cider scent and a hint of honey. This one has a lot of notes. There is no way I can pick them all out. To me this does not smell as complex as it looks. I really like this at the wet stage. Later: This is nice but gets a little perfumey now. The honey note is stronger and in the end honey is all I get.

    Punkie Night

    In Vial: Not what I was expecting. Smells like unsweet butter cookies. Wet: Now I know what this is. Its the rotten apple scent that I have smelled in other apple blends. Later: The apple note is pretty much all that I end up with. Would be ok except that I don't like this apple note.

    The Isles of Demons

    Twin islands near Newfoundland, now lost, that were believed to be gateways to Hell. The scent is of wet, dark greenery, carnivorous flowers, volcanic gas, and the hot black musk of the demons and wild beasts that populated the islands. In Vial: Darkly sweet, kind of strong Wet: Gets strong, a little piercing from the greenery, but something else smells very nice and mellow. The lovliness that I smell I am almost positive its floral. In the background I am getting the tiniest bit of smoke. Drydown: This is now mild and sweet. Not really what I was expecting from its namesake. This is very pleasant and feminine floral.

    Knecht Ruprecht

    In Vial: Strong! Smells like a mix of gingerale, apple cider and pine. Wet: Sweet clove and orange juice. This smells like a spiced cider I used to drink as a child at christmas. Later: The pine is coming out more. Reminds me this smells more masculine. I love it because this blend smells christmasy.

    Hanami

    In Vial: Kind of strong, clean perfumey, a bit salty Wet: Lightly sweet, clean, mild and fresh. To me this smells incredible at this stage. Unfortunately it does not stay there. Drydown:This smells like an soapy commercial perfume. It is a bit strong for my tast and burns my nose. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I prefer non-commerical smelling scents. I will definately keep my imp though..

    Hellion

    In Vial: Sweet, smooth, a bit masculine Wet: Smells creamy like carmel and vanilla but without being foody. To me this smells nothing like the notes listed. Later:This gets milder as it dries. A tiny bit spicey. A deep rich, golden vanilla note is present throughout. Not as masculine on drydown.

    Yemaya

    In Vial:Sweet green melon Wet: Ohhhh! This is so nice. Crisp sweet melon, not very ripe. I am beginning to smell a hint of the sea mosses. Mixing with the fruit, this is a very Fresh smelling scent. Later: This is wonderful! I am in love~seriously! This smells a lot like Fee to me. In fact, the melon was my favorite part of Fee but was just not strong enough. So THIS is Perrrfect! It is not very sweet. So simple and fresh. I wish I would have tried this one sooner.

    Hamadryad

    Nature spirits and protectors of the world's groves and forests that appear as breathtakingly beautiful women. Hamadryads are born into a tree that serves as both a home and an anchor for the creature's soul. They are sometimes tricksters, sometimes seducers, sometimes helpful and benign, but they are always fierce and furious protectors of the natural world. Seven dry woods with mossy lichen and a gentle breeze of forest flowers. In Vial:Berries Wet: Berries and something bitter and green Later: This smells soapy and makes the inside of my nose burn

    Calico Jack

    In Vial: Strong, buttery alcohol, masculine Wet: Mmm nice. Smells of wet wood and shower fresh clean. This would be Great on a man. The wet wood has a bitter sharpness to it. Later: This is getting sweeter. The bitterness has fainted into the background. Reminds me of something an older man would wear, maybe the grandfatherly type. This is an inviting scent.

    Black Ice

    In Vial: Sweet Wet: A little perfumey. Has a refreshing lift from something that reminds me of sea foam. This background of this is interesting. I described as sea foam but it does not smell aquatic but does smell of a light blue-green scent. Later:This a become strong and perfumey. The lovely blue-green scent has almost disappeared completely.
