    Bewitched

    i love this scent its how i want to smell during the late spring early winter its very comforting... maybe because i always have blackberry sage tea after a long day. it was better than i expected it to be, its fresh and sweet yet has an excellent grounding, possibly musk. dont know about a big bottle yet but i will certainly use the imp

    The Wheel of Fortune

    i dont know why but when i smelled it i though... lotus if it has any lotus i do not know, but it seems to. i like it pretty well, but not something i would want to wear all the time. hopefully a more indepth review will follow

    Kabuki

    i have a very vivid memory of eating a huge cherry lollipop that tasted like then when i was about 4 or 5! insane that i remember it i know... wet- cherry... and something heavy drydown- smells like rootbeer and im really glad its not scream anise at me cause its not my favorite so far so good. thanks to the lab for this freebie! i would have never picked it out myself.

    i dont smell lemon at all its something else.... i know this smell lingering in the background... so familiar. something like iris maybe? i love this scent, the lavender is heavenly and whatever else is in it too (i cant tell) definetly a keeper, dont know about a big bottle yet... but maybe *edit to add* It must be bergamont!!! yes i think that is what it is instead of lemon

    The Moon

    this is sooo beautiful! i cant believe not many people have tried it yet. the jasmine is grounded in an incense sort of way... if that makes any sense i dont really know a lot of the notes... but it smells so good i want to eat it this is not just a floral! i'm at a loss for words ok i need 10ml of this one too....

    Love Me

    i know this smell... its beautiful its so familiar its bothering me... though it is very VERY comforting. maybe my mom would burn an incense.... or use this on candles when i was younger? i dont know but i love it, even if it doesnt work. hope it will though.... hehe

    Shattered

    A scent as sharp as glass shards, and as brittle as a broken heart. The formula came to me - quite literally - in a dream, and is named after, and created in memory of, the last poem that I ever wrote… almost ten years ago to the day. A blend of white champagne notes, grapefruit, lotus, slivered mint and crystalline aquatic blooms. i didnt find it that sharp at all smells like a tart candy i have had before i like it... it lasted at least a couple of hours i was having trouble picking out single notes so here i am.... and now the white grape is really coming through good stuff even though it doesnt have the desired effect on me.
  11. for my british lit class i had to wear sin, it worked like no other. but it doesnt matter which one, as long as you wear it when you study, and then when you take the test

    Queen of Sheba

    this is heaven in a bottle! im pretty sure i havent reviewed this yet... uhhh the spices are so beautifully blended it actually smells abbout the same in the bottle as it does on me. i think its a first! its long lasting im lucky if anything lasts more than 3 hours on me and this is exceeding. if you like like exotic, this is the one for you

    Saturnalia

    this scent is not for me right when i opened the imp i wondered if i should even try it on. though i had never really smelled violet before. now i know for sure it does not work with my chemisty. it smells very much like a forest. though unforunetly it also makes me want to sneeze (which is what i tend to do in a forest) i could see how this would work for some people. would be great if you like violets... if not.... proceed with caution now that i am thinking of it it might be the vertiver that is the cause of the sneezing ? just a thought

    Masabakes

    i got this free with my last order at first i was very suprised to like it... its gingerbread!! i love that smell and wearing it for about 10 minutes it still smelled great.... very warm and inviting then i started to detect a picklish kind of note... im guess its my skin a very beautiful scent, would smell great one someone else!

    Velvet

    i was just about to swap this... then i had to sudden urge to try it before my bath today again (its been about 3 months)... i sniffed... and sniffed as soon as i got out of the bathroom i ran to my room to put more on i really dont care for the smell of it wet, but after wearing it for the first minute or too it started to grow on me i smell a lot of myrrh which ... is a turn off to me, and why i didnt origninally like it now i can smell a lot of sandlewood, which i love, and why i am keeping it if it continues to grow on me.. i'll have to buy the 5ml i really dont smell much chocolate in it still... but it doesnt matter, i like it anyway and i agree what some other people have said... it does remind me of old dusty velvet but in a good and comforting way (not a want to sneeze way)
