    Ultraviolet

    Although I love violets, this one is just too harsh for me. The mint was a bit too sharp for me to wear it daily, however, I think it would be just great for aromatherapy. When I tested it, I felt like I had more energy, which was really nice because I needed it at the time. Don't think I'd buy a bottle of it, but it's nice having the imp to sniff when I need to wake up!

    Shill

    It is insane what Beth can bottle, and I never thought in a million years I'd be smelling buttery, salty popcorn out of a vial. She got the scent dead on!!! I don't think I'd ever wear it, but I love sniffing my imp from time to time - only it makes me want popcorn!!!

    Hecate

    In the imp I smell Cherry Coke. But then I get the almonds and spices. I bet this would go well with Lush's soap, Spice Mountain, and the look to be the same color, hehe! It's sweet, yet incensey, and has a good throw to it. It mellows out a lot after a few minutes and morphs into something completely different - what, I can't describe.

    The Star

    I can see why this one is a favorite. It's a sweet, coconuty blend, but not at all foody to me. I detect a hint of mint and some citrus - very gorgeous, just wish it had more throw. If I had the money, I'd for sure buy a big bottle!

    Queen of Clubs

    I'm glad I waited to review this after giving it a second try. When I first applied it, all I smelled was Graveyard Dirt - so much in fact, I wondered if somehow I had gotten the wrong oil. I shook the bottle up the next time I tried it, and the fruitiness shone right through. It still reminds me a lot of Graveyard Dirt, and I wonder if I mixed that and Mi-Go and would end up with a similar scent. Not quite what I expected, but pretty nonetheless. On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this one a 3.

    Midway

    This is freaking fabulous stuff - I smell coconut cotton candy and candy apples. I only got a teeny sample so I wasn't able to slather, so my only complaint - why isn't this stronger??? God, I LOVE this though!!!!!!!!!!! And ordered a bottle too!

    Anubis

    It smells sweeter in the bottle, but once on, I couldn't quite figure out where I had smelled this before. Rich without being heavy, spicy with a bit of sweetness to it..and then I figured it out. Anubis smells JUST LIKE a church I went to as a kid. It's really freaking me out. Great scent, perfect for the rainy day it is today. I think it would be lovely as a room scent too.

    Dirty

    This one brought me back to the lovely days of Blue Moon - it's fresh and clean like that one was. I was so excited to get this as a frimp, and it's a really sweet, crisp, clean scent. I'd love to wash my clothes in it, or make it into a mister to spray myself with on hot days! Gorgeous!

    Al Azif

    Sweet incense and I love this! Brown sugar with spice, I think I am getting sandalwoody/vetivert scents from it, and I think if my bf wore it, I'd jump him. A little too heavy for me to wear everyday, but I adore it. I can see myself wearing it more often when it gets cold again!

    Mi-Go Brain Canister

    When I first sniffed it in the bottle, someting grossed me out - something sharp that reminded me of bad breath! I didn't know what to think but took a chance and slathered some on and thank goodness I did, because this one is fruitydelicious!! Perfect for summer, and it amazingly lifted my crappy mood in mere seconds. This one is pure joy mojo for me, and I plan to wear especially when I'm feeling cranky - you can't be cranky and be wearing this! I adore it, and am stoked to have another bottle from a swap on its way to me. I haven't found something fruity that I love since Red Moon, so what a relief. And I LOVE slathering this one!! Delish!!!

    Formula 54

    OMFGBBQ!!!! This is just AMAZING! Got an imp from eta:Beth(I had Ultraviolet here when I posted, but looking back, it had to be Beth) and and kicking myself HARD for not ordering it when it was availible!!! It's erotic, sexy, and just plain KILLER! Spicy without being in your face and sensual with its sweetness. I can't believe it will never be made again!!!

    Nuit

    I got this one in the hopes it would be more incense-y, but alas, it's pure florals, gorgeous, but not me. I too only am picking up the musk and jasmine, but I'm also not the most gifted in sniffing out notes. I do think it's a very classy scent, and dare I say, almost commercial? I could see this in a designer Chanel or Dior bottle.

    Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo

    Does anyone else find this to be Red Queen's little sister? Both have that strong in you face sweetness, but this one is more innocent and playful. I love it's strength and sweetness, and great for when you're feeling grumpy!!!!

    Rose Cross

    I really wanted to love this one, but sadly it reminded me of my grandma who is passed away, and who I was extremely close to, When I sniffed it, I honestly almost started bawling. So, I swapped it. It was a really old fashioned rose smell to me, not something one could find anywhere else, ovely, but I'm too sentimental.

    House of Night

    This one IS House of Night, I can see how the name came about! Dark greenery and heaviness, I can see why this one is a Funereal oil. I don't smell the lime, but I do notice the florals, which are mournful and dark. When I sniff it and close my eyes, I invision a dark graveyard full of beloved souls.

    Nocnitsa

    I didn't realize this one would smell so pine-y - which isn't good on me. I got straight up Pine-sol or that dark colored Lysol cleaner when I tried it, sadly. I have a strange feeling it might smell really nice on a guy to me though. I'm really glad I got to try it though!

    Chaste Moon 2005

    Am I nuts, or is this the MILK in Dragon's Milk??? OMFG, this is BRILLIANT stuff, wish I had ordered more than 1! I don't even know where to start - when I sniffed it, I was like, hmmm...butterscotch, don't think I'll be wearing this much. (I'm not into foody scents.) Once applied though, it was something totally different on me, soft, florally, and I kept being reminded a bit of Dragon's Milk with a floral kick. I LOVE IT and will be stalking the swap pages for more.

    Decadence

    I feel very honored to be gifted with this one in my order today. The strength of it reminds me a bit of the Red Queen when I sniff it from the bottle. I have always loved almondy scents and I love the red hue to this one. I adore the cinnamon peeking out behind the almond scent, with the orange backround. Lovely!

    Spooky

    When I opened up my bottle today and sniffed, I just straight up grinned my ol' head off. As said, Thin Mints, Andes Candies chocolate mints, Mint Chocolate chip ice cream... DELICIOUS! I Am very curious if this one is at all similar at all the mint julep scent Beth listed in the last update, I forget it's name. I applaud this scent for lifting my spirits on a dreary Monday afternoon, and I can see myself applying this one when I need a little lift. The chocolate and mint are so carefully blended and the chocolate so subtle, I can't stop gushing about it. Love it!!!!

    Urd

    This was JUST what I was looking for - the perfect blend of patchouli and nag champa, two of my favorite smells ever. I agree with the person who mentioned it had that head shop/new age store smell - which is one of my favorite smells ever. I plan to buy a bottle when the pink moon goes live. I can't get enough of it, and I'm totally hoarding my imp!!! ETA: My 5ml is almost done and I've been working on my 10ml bottle. This is my official signature scent and I get compliments ALL the time with it. Thank you Beth for such a comforting and amazing blend!

    Wolf Moon 2004

    This one smelled familiar as soon as I applied it - I couldn't figure out if it reminded me of Queen of Spades or Cold Moon. Either way, I thought it was very pretty! I had been worried it would be piney or eucalytpus-y, but it wasn't, thank goodness. I smelled cold florals and greenery. Nice job Beth!

    Sugar Cookie

    My beautiful friend Jen sent me an imp of this one, and wow, it knocked my socks off. Think of a sugar cookie mixed with a gingersnap, and you get this scent. How Beth managed to pull it off, I will never know, and I am not complaining. Not at all synthetic, and the stuff is making me crave some fresh baked cookies - YUM! Love it!

    Antique Lace

    I don't know why, but this reminds me of that "Vanilla Fields" perfume! A cottony-clean vanilla scent. It does remind me of browsing through antique stores too, so what a perfect name for this blend. It's pretty, but I don't see myself wearing it often - I go for the more resiny incense darker scents. I bet my sister would really like it though, so I'll probably sent this on to her to enjoy.

    Verdandi

    I love how tart this one smells - the apple note is straight up gorgeous. I am amazed that the amber doesn't take over in this one and the herbs, to me, do smell quite fresh. It's reminding me of something, but I can't figure it out, but I am getting a clean and tart smell from it. Very pretty.and almost powdery on me.

    Cold Moon

    This one is very light and fruity on me and the hint of mint works really well with it, who would have known??? It really DOES smell cold! Perfect scent for winter, I think! My only complaint is that it fades fast on me.
