    Queen

    I think it's so funny that every review is different, although there are some common themes. For me I didn't like the scent of it in the imp AT ALL, but on my skin this is soo good. I get chocolate, with a smokey honey scent, and a light floral underneath. Gorgeous, and definitely GRRR...girl power at it's finest! Love it!

    Xiuhtecuhtli

    Wow, Just Wow! Initial wet this is very tropical, big lush flowers dripping with rain. As it dries, I get a citrus note with it, and on further dry down this gets sweet and creamy, very reminiscent of Angel (which I love - my pre-bpal days perfume). This is just purely gorgeous! I do get a mexican or aztec feel to it as well...for those of you who have been there this reminds me of my visit to Xcaret. Love this completely!

    Nemesis

    Intially from the imp the only scent I pick up is the cypress which is yuck for me, but on this is really really nice. It's blended so well that I can't really pick out any individual notes but luckily cypress has died down I can pick up some fig, rose and ginger. This is really pretty.

    Aizen-Myoo

    Fresh, clean, crisp. This is really nice for summer. Initial drydown is the bitter citrus similar but not quite grapefruit, but as it dries down I get a hint of the cherry blossoms and tea and it sweetens. This is really nice.

    Wrath

    This was a gift the lovely lab included in my last order. I never thought I would like something with black pepper in it because I can't stand it normally, in my food or even the smell of it. But in this blend, wow I'm in love. Dragon's blood gives it the sweetness, and the cinnamon and black pepper give it some oomph..there's the fire. I can't stop sniffing my arm. Love it, Love it!

    Dorian

    I know I'm very late getting on the bandwagon for Dorian, but better late than never right? In the first I'd say maybe 10 seconds, I get the scent of lavender, but it quickly fades to a vanilla, honey sweet tea scent with a slight slight lemon tinge. This is gorgeous!!! I want to cover myself in it. Big bottle purchase right away!

    De Sade

    Yep, that's leather alright! Amazing that this is so accurate, but not really something I want to smell like, and Hubby doesn't like it. Very masculine scent to me. Will find a new home.

    Eden

    When I first read the description with the update, I thought for sure it was a scent I would love, and I got a 5 ml unsniffed. I was looking forward to this one for quite a long time. This is really lovely, although for me I would prefer a bit more of the sweet notes than the green notes. I have the green leafy stage for the first 2 to 3 hours, and then the sweet fig, honey and coconut start to appear. This is quite long lasting too, which is nice. I have to say though with that particular order (including 13, elegba, ace of hearts, honey moon, strawberry moon) I was thinking Eden would be my fav. It is really nice but love others more than this. Will definitely use this though and enjoy it.

    Glasgow

    Soft sweet fruity florals. This doesn't have much throw or staying power but it's beautiful. A very casual, relaxed and calming scent. I really like this one a lot!

    Paris

    In the imp and initial wet this is straight lavender with a bit of a kick to it. As it dries down, the lotus sweetens and softens this up to the point that it doesn't even smell like lavender anymore. This is a really nice blend. Not sure how often I would wear this but it's pretty

    Delphi

    I absolutely love honey, but my skin likes to amp up the "green" scents. This one is completely laurel and bay for me, and my honey has gone into hiding. As it dries down, the honey pops up slightly which is really nice but still a very biting green scent overall. I'm sorry, not a "green" girl

    R'lyeh

    One of the few people not picking up grapefruit in this one. For me it's just fresh, aquatic, ozone, watery scent with a touch of something sweet underneath (very faint) It's really nice, I like it.

    Tenochtitlan

    This is an amazing blend. For some reason I didn't think I would like this one, but Beth and the lab knew better and generously included it in my last order. I can't really pick out any of the notes beyond pear. It dries down green, fresh, with the slightest creamy scent. I visited the ruins in Mexico earlier this year and this scent just brings back the feeling of awe standing there. Just beautiful!

    Yerevan

    This is a very light scent without much staying power or throw. It pretty much doesn't move past the apricots for me, maybe a slight touch of orchid. Nice, but I'm not in love. Glad I got to try it though!

    Succubus

    In the imp, it's sharp, aggressive orange blossoms. It dries down softer smelling more of the violet mingled with orange blossoms. Not really my type of scent...it does go very soapy unfortunately.

    Queen of Sheba

    Gorgeous! Lighter version of Morocco. Honeyed almonds with exotic spices. Sweet and spicey at the same time. good staying power. Really like this one a lot

    Hollywood Babylon

    Like this one a lot!! Fruity, juicy feel, creamy from the vanilla, musky (from the amber). This one is really nice

    Vinland

    Cool, crisp, clean, very well balanced. Intial wet I do get a lemon woodsy scent, but it dries down softer. Nice.

    Bayou

    Green aquatic florals, reminds me a little of New Orleans. Strong and good lasting power. Nice but not a favorite

    Morocco

    No words to describe this but Wow and Love it, can't be without it! Sweet, spicy, exotic, intoxicating, transports me to another country. I just love this. Perfect for fall and winter. I agree that it's similar to snake oil without as much vanilla. In the same sort of family as scherezade also, because of the middle eastern feel.

    Endymion

    Pear comes through as the predominant note. I can't smell much else from the imp or initial wet stage. When first applied the pear is very very strong. The initial scent is sweet, crisp and clean. It slowly softens and the Lily of the Valley and musk come through. Its nice but not entirely me. It will find a good home.

    Cerberus

    In the imp this smells like fig and chocolate. Initial wet is lemon, or citrusy. On dry down, this sweetens again to fig and chocolate, musk and light rum. Initially I find this quite masculine smelling, but it dries down beautifully to something I would consider a unisex scent. This has great staying power too! I really like it.

    Kabuki

    I'm so sad by this scent because I love it. I think it's gorgeously sexy, but something in it causes huge red welts no matter where I put it. It smells like cherries initially while wet but dries down to a creamy musky slightly cherry scent. Just gorgeous..unfortunately the welts aren't too gorgeous so I'll pass it on to someone who can handle it!

    Florence

    I didn't really like the smell of this in the imp, but once on, it's much nicer. It starts off with iris as the main note but as it dries down, the amber and spices kick in. I don't really get much of a berry scent, and I'm not getting the pine scent others mentioned (which is a good thing!) This seems very light and while it does last quite a long time, there isn't much throw and I have to sniff my skin directly to pick up the scent.

    Bathsheba

    Bathsheba is beautifully blended, soft, subtle, innocent but definitely sexy. Carnations sweetened slightly by plum with a soft scent of musk underneath. Very nice!
