    Embalming Fluid

    This is another frimp that is fastly becoming one of my favourite scents. I would make everyone at least try an imp of this because it is divine, Its a really fresh lemony/green tea blend that is just so fresh and uplifting. I would like loads of bottles of this so that I can make it into body lotion, shampoo, conditioner and soap and bubble bath and anything else I can think of to slather over myself. Divine!

    Delirium

    I really really really wanted to like this one - I'm not sure what disagreed with me - perhaps it is the apple or rose. It was quite overpowering all day and when it mellowed out (took a good 5-6 hours!) it smelled quite nice but I wouldn't wear it again because it smells wrong on me for so long!

    Lightning

    I don't like this one I'm afraid - it reminded me of pot pourri or those candles that you can get that smell like rain.

    Namaste

    I like Namaste - it is quite citrusy on me but its quite incensy as well. It is quite a comforting scent but it is nostalgic to me as well. whenever I wear this It reminds me of being 14/15 and burning josh sticks and trying to learn tarot cards!

    Phantasm

    I was really disappointed with Phantasm. This was a frimp from the lab and I read the description before applying it and thought that I would really like it as I think I am leaning towards things with verbana and green tea in them. However I found it to be quite overpowering and cloying (Is that a word?). It must be the neroli that disagree's with me as I also didn't get on with ultraviolet.

    Ultraviolet

    I thought I would really like this one (I'm so glad that there are so many imps to try as I am still learning what kind of scents I like and don't like!) as it has mint but as I am learning, my skin doesn't get on with mint scents. There is something nice about this scent but it just isn't me at all - It could just be the mint or it could be the other ingredients mixed with it - I'm not sure!

    Zephyr

    OMG this is one of my now must have oils. I got this as a frimp (Yay!) and I couldn't stop sniffing myself all day! On me the notes that I got were the vanilla and white musk and lemon/bergamot. It is a really creamy and light scent and really uplifting. I imagine if it were an object/colour it would be a white cheesecloth tablecloth with pale lemon piping. I have ordered a bottle of this (and so has my mum upon sneaking a sniff from my frimp!)

    Shattered

    This was a frimp (thank you kindly lab people!) but unfortunately it was too aquatic/ozony for me. I thought I would like mint scents but I am finding that they just don' t work with my body chemistry. It did last for ages and then when it did settle down it smelled better (quite refreshing) but it was really faint. Oh well ... another for the swap pile!

    Strawberry Moon 2005

    Strawberry cheesecake and all things pink. This is gorgeous, It reminds me of Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo but not because of the scent but because of the feeling it gives me! It is a really happy and uplifting scent ( I wish I had bought more bottles of this!)

    Milk Moon 2005

    Now Milk Moon is nice in the bottle. I think it smells really sweet and it reminds me of murray mints, its a really creamy minty smell to me. On my skin though it is just too sweet and sickly and it really does last all day so again its just not me!!

    Honey Moon

    I've not made my mind up about this one yet. I think it reminds me of Lush's Honey Trap Lip Balm which I don't like either. I think it just isn't sweet enough on me which is why I'm not adoring it. I think I will have to revisit it and then write a better review!

    Miskatonic University

    Mmm - this smells exactly like Irish Coffee - it reminds me of dark wood tables and good books. This is a gorgeous scent. Wish I had bought two as it is going to be perfect for autumn/winter!

    Khephra

    Hail unto thee who art Khephra in Thy hiding, even unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy silence, who travellest over the heavens in Thy bark at the Midnight Hour of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Evening. This is a very warm scent but unfortuately after putting it on I couldn't stop sneezing for about an hour. I've had it on since 630am and its now 20.20pm (uk time!) and it smells amazing now. Unfortunately I'll have to give it a miss though because of the sneezing fits !!

    Hellcat

    This was one of those perfumes that I was like "don’t like it…no like it…no don’t like it…no do like it." I eventually made up my mind and I do like it now!! It’s a smoky boozy scent thats quite sexy as well.

    Black Rose

    Exquisitely melancholy. The background scent to an ancient exequies. Heavy, dark and floral: a blend of roses, with a touch of amber and musk. In the Bottle: Roses and a musky scent. On Skin: Roses Roses Roses and some incense. On Drydown: This is a very elegant and quite dark scent. It made me feel very grown up but it is very sombre. Verdict: This is one of the first scents with roses in that I actually like, normally they are too floral for me but this one is just exquisite. However it is very sombre and I think it depthened (is that a word) the sorrowful mood I was in. Having said that though it is a really nice scent and I like it a lot!
