    Megaera

    In Vial: Fruity Wet: Citrus and something else, I think it's the bergamot. Later: This really smells like the drink "sex on the beach" tastes. I like the drink but I'm not sure I want to wear what it smells like. This is not bad though.

    Erato

    In Vial: Very floral Wet: Aged florals, not fresh, smells old. These are strong powdery smelling florals. Later: This shows no signs of fading. If you like roses, if you like sweet pea, you'll love this. That is pretty much all I am getting from this blend.

    Ephemera

    In Vial: Stinks, smells like old perfume Wet: Wow, totally different now. Smells light, gently sweet. Later: This is a strong perfume. Smells like aged perfume that has been sitting too long.

    Shroud

    In Vial:Incense and perfume Wet:Yep, more of the same only stronger. This is beginning to smell more and more like baby powder. Later: This is very powdery and alot like baby powder on me.

    Arachne

    In Vial: light and sweet Wet: Smells like wet fruits. Later: Smells like sweet dried flowers and woods. It is sort of an odd smell that is difficult to describe but not unpleasant, just different.

    Ultraviolet

    In Vial: piercing, herbal cough drops On Skin: Strong. I can smell the eucalyptus, mint and violet. It seems an odd smelling mix, but then I'm not sure how much I like violet. Later: Well this is all violet and I have decided I don't like violet, but you do then you will like this. The mint and eucalyptus have gone...

    Love Me

    In Vial: Incensey Wet: Sweet Incense, spicey. I'm guessing it is the Frankincense. Amber is starting to appear making this more mellow, less sharp incense. Later: This is really rich with depth. Like another reviewer said, it is totally addictive! This to me is a rich velvety scent.

    Forbidden Fruit

    In Vial: sweet floral Wet: smells like candy with a cooling sensation, mixed with a floral. Drydown: This was a strong floral for a few minutes but has now lightened considerably. I never did smell the amber or citrus but the floral is there all the way through. I would say this is mostly a delicate floral.

    Oya

    In Vial:Very plum Wet: Spicey incense and plum. Nice blend. Starting to smell like cherry sucret cough drops. Later: This is a very nice plum scent. It still has a nice 'bite' even after an hour or so. sweet, but not overly so, medium strength.

    Tweedledum

    In Vial: Whoa! Smells a bit like rotten fruit ON Skin: Smells like ripe cantelope. Interesting. Something smells like dirt in the background. Later: I think the dirt smell was the patchouli. It smells more like incense, but that seems to be the drydown note. The fruit has disappeared. It now smells like an incense perfume.

    Pumpkin I (2007)

    In Vial: Smells like buttery pumpkin with a hint of Jasmine Wet: Smells like a pumpkin candle. Is slightly foody. Later: This is an interesting scent. It is foody, buttery, and yet slightly sweet with something non-foody (the Jasimine I think). This would be a nice fall room fragrance.

    Orpheus

    In Vial: Very green, smells like grass and something bitter Wet: Green grass and lavender. I'm getting a hint of the citrus peel and something slightly sweet Later: This has turned out to be more perfumey than I expected, but the with a green grassy background. This smells like a commercial perfume, it is feminine. I haven't decided whether I want a bottle but definitely like enough to use my imp.

    Diwali

    First Sniff: Foody sweet On Skin: Smells of juicy fruits Later: This smells like floral fruit juice, if there were such a thing. It contains several notes that are considered 'food', so it does smell kind of foody but with an overtone of flowers.

    White Phoenix

    In Vial: Light herbal floral On Skin: Lightly sweet and fruity. Gradually getting stronger and more floral Drydown: This has morphed into a soapy floral. Lightly sweet

    Thunder Moon

    In Vial: Wow smells like a bar of soap On Skin: Yes quite soapy, but I like! Drydown: Smells just like you stepped out of the shower. I really like this one![

    Sea of Tranquility

    In Vial:Perfumey Wet: Interesting. Smells candy sweet with a little bit of green floral Drydown: This is getting stronger, much stronger and has now gone back to being very perfumey. The amber is the strongest note I smell.

    Green Phoenix

    In Vial: Fresh and green with a hint of menthol and mint Wet on skin: Smells like a 'green' cough drop. Very grassy with a hint of sweet. The mint is more faint Later: This smells fresh and green, a tiny bit floral and is not super sweet. The mint is has lasted and is still lingering in the background

    Cancer 2007

    In Bottle: Smells a little like a menthol cough drop On Skin: Lightly sweet. I can smell the greeness of the lettuce and the juiciness of the pear. The sweet pea causes this to become quite sweet. Whoa! This is getting stronger and more floral. Later: This has turned into a unique floral perfume. I'm not sure if it is the lettuce or the pear that gives it the crisp garden scent or maybe both together, but its a nice variation to the usual, overdone, commercial floral.

    The Lantern Ghost of Oiwa

    In Bottle: Smells sweet fruity/floral with a hint of light mint On skin: I smell a hint of the mint, but mostly I smell something perfumey. It gives the smell of notes that seem like they shouldn't go together. Later: This is really perfumey, more than I would have thought from reading the notes. I wanted to love this but I don't.

    Satyr

    In Vial: Red musk, spicey and sweet On Skin: More of the same, just stronger. This is masculine as the description says. It smells sweet and sexy. The oil is a very dark burgandy color. Later: This is sweet but in a dark-fruit-juice sort of way. I am not good with notes and the only one I recognize is the red musk. This smells similar to the dodo only darker, sweeter and richer.

    Magus

    Magus In Vial: Definitely smell the frankincense On Skin: This is strong, incense-y. Reminds me of something old, aged. Later: Not as strong now, less overpowering, but very much a frankincense scent. That is pretty much all I smell.

    October

    October In Vial: Smells like crisp green plants On Skin: You can smell the dryness of this blend. The green is beginning to smell more like leaves. Because it is so green, this smells summery to me. I am beginning to smell the sap from the trees. This is a nice outdoorsy blend. The more this dries, the more I smell honeysuckle. Not the sweetness of the flower but the greenness in the plant. Later: I didn’t get any smoke from this. In the end this smells like leaves and tree sap. It really is a nice scent. Not as summery now as when wet. I do not get masculine cologne from this as others have. To me it smells of nature, which I find non-gender specific. I really like this, maybe not for everyday wear, but I definitely want to smell this again.

    Twenty-One

    I have never had a regular martini so I don’t even know what one is suppose to smell like. With that in mind… In Vial: Very nice sort of alcohol meets clean detergent Wet: Ok this is much stronger. Smells like alcohol, lime and something darker Drydown: This smells strongly of hard liquor. Has faint sweetness to it that reminds me of lime but I’m not sure it is. I would say this scent is an alcohol lover’s dream. Maybe not a good scent for work.

    The Ghost

    In Vial: Soft rain and light citrus On Skin: A little stronger now but still soft floral. I smell mostly the lily. This is very pretty and feminine Later: This has a kind of odd smell now. Sort of has a ‘bite’ to it and not as *pretty* smelling but definitely remains in the floral category.

    Berenice

    In Vial: Gentle, sweet, kind of baby powder-ish On Skin: Reminds me of the perfume ‘white shoulders’ that my grandmother use to wear. It is soft but smells like something an older woman would wear, I’m sure I have this association because of my grandmother. Drydown: This has turned out to be a rather strong floral. I not sure which note or if it’s the blend of notes but this really gives me a headache. I have smelled all of the notes on the way and during dry down, except the aloe.
