    Fairy Bites

    Imp: clean herbal-y floral Wet on Me: very light scent. ethereal very well blended as I can't pick out any one note more than the other. Drying Down: the white peppermint seems almost ghost like as it wafts under my nose. With scents that have lavender my nose usually picks it out right away. But the florals are all playing so nicely together. Dry: This is a light and airy floral scent. Not a white floral or aquatic....but a light shimmery ethereal scent that truly reminds me of my beloved fairie festival!

    The Phantom Calliope

    Bottle: Dark, sweet and a slight hint of earthiness. heady to the nose. Wet on Me: still heady and lovely. that medicinal dark formula vicks 44 cherry scent Drying Down: aww yeah the patchouli is starting to make itself known under my nose sop dark sharp cherry and the sweetness of cassis doing some dirty dancing with the patchouli. Dry: this is almost sinister in that dark dark cherry/cassis/spicy/patchouli blend. So loving this!!!!

    The Library of John Dee

    Imp: Incense and wax and the faintest trace of rose Wet on Me: whew....going heavy rose. All the other notes ran away and are hiding right now. Hoping dry down is better. Drying Down: Nope. All Rose. All amped up all the time. Dry: Rose. I amp rose badly. Glad this is only a decant and not a bottle. I had high hopes for this one.

    Good Morning, London

    Imp: Clean Astringent Lavender Wet on Me: Still a very clean astringent-y lavender Drying Down: starting to get that faint trace of the baby powder I smell with amber notes. It's softening the sharpness of the lavender making it soft and warm and almost fuzzy. Like a soft fluffy fuzzy blanket. Dry: Delightful. What started out as sharp has softened down to this comforting blanket you wrap around yourself when you head downstairs on a cold blustery morning. TO KEEP!

    Abduction of Proserpine on a Unicorn

    Black Currant and Pomegranate are must haves for me...so I just HAD to order this Bottle: mostly sandalwood. Almost astringent-y Wet On Me: okay now I'm getting the faintest whiff of fruit with the sandalwood Drying Down: less sandalwood now. It's fading into the background to make a soft cushion for the berries to bloom Dry: soft. a soft cloud of dark fruit gently whisped by the sandalwood. the astringent-y notes have gone way far away! and I tipped the bottle over on my desk at work and just lost half of it

    Revenant Rhythm Hair Gloss

    MUST. HOARD. ALL. THE. RR Hairgloss!!! because DAYUM! I adore adore adore my BB but to have this has a HG? It's my go to Hair Gloss almost daily! I have thin fine hair but I find that a couple of spritzes on my wet hair makes it easy to detangle before blow drying!. Then the heat from the blow dryer seems to activate it and I'm walking in a lovely RR/BB cloud of goodness!
  10. Seriously this thing is just total LOVE! First sniff and I swoooooned with the goodness! and I agreed with everything Jola said. Considering most of my HG's have been patch heavy I very happily surprised how lovely this fruity one is!

Just lovely deep red dark fruity goodness on me! I may have to order a few more bottles. And yes...it smells fantastic NOW...but I can't wait to smell this one aged!!!!

    TKO Atmosphere Spray

    I have a couple of bottles of TKO v3 that I ADORE! But when TKO Atmo spray became a thing to order? TKO ALL THE ATMO SPRAY! I bought 2 bottles and I should have gotten more. Because DAYUM! This is a perfect balance of lavender and the marshmallow! This is divine sprayed on my pillows at night! Not too overpowering but just right to help me drift off to sleep and fall back asleep during the many times I wake at night.

    Maiden v2

    WOW! I'm first to review something! nifty! Bottle: Rose. I'm getting rose! Wet on Me: sweet rose Drying Down: honey Rose! 2 things that traditionally go sour on my skin Dry: The rose seems to disappear and now it’s honey. But not overly sweet honey. I have to thank the Lovely TwilightEyes who traveled to the Trunk Show and obtained and shipped prototypes for so many to try and own. She is made of win and awesomesauce!
  14. Snape smells of herbs and oils and incenses and dust from his Potions room and classroom McGongall smells of baddassery! She smells of books, and perhaps a touch of wax, and maybe some smoke from the time she said boom! Now....the Great Hall....can you imagine how the Great Hall would smell? Pumpkin juice and candle wax, polished wood, yummy sweets and treats and a feast!

    Yellow Metal With Mingled Purple Blushes

    Decant: totally get 'yellow' and 'purple' a spicy yellow with a deep purple vibe under my nose Wet on me: breathe deep and I get that spicy yellow...almost like a yellow carnation Drying Down: Yellow 'metal' waiting to get the purples to come out and play....but it's almost a masculine yellow metal Dry: WOOHOO this is one amber that did NOT go all baby powder. Just a soft spicy yellow metallic scent. A little sad that I did not get the 'purple' of this on my skin.

    Frosty Silkybat Hair Gloss

    this is my first HairGloss I've ever tried. LOVE IT! I spray it on when my hair is wet to help detangle without breaking my fine hair. But then when it is dry and I move my head and smell this divine scent! HEAVEN! I may need MORE of this one!
