  1. Bittersweet yet powerful: salty aquatic notes and bursting with dragon's blood.


    I'm not sure about this yet, I usually don't like aquatic scents. It is very light on me and I can't smell it unless I sniff my wrist. It smells quite oceanic but with the sweetness of the DB underneath it. Hmm not bad but not one I'd go for automatically - I'll have to wear this again and revisit it

  2. This is a very delicate scent but that could just be because I have a cold when I'm testing this one! It smells very well blended, it’s a warm scent and I really have no clue what is in this one.

     

    It has now changed from being warm to being quite sweet (I wish I didn't have this stupid cold so I could appreciate this better!). This might be a possible 5ml bottle purchase :P


  3. Wow - This is another "me" scent - I think that I adore anything with green tea and lemon verbena. It is similar to embalming fluid on me except it is sharper and not as mellow. I wish I had tried this before I made my order on Sunday as I would have bought a bottle - It is a crisp and clean, fresh scent. Loverly


  4. This smelled yummy in the bottle and I couldn't wait to try it unfortunately it is too overpowering and heavy when I first put it on my skin. It did dry down ok - but it was too sickly and heady for me I think that it must be the wine in it - Wine just doesn't go with my skin at all. A shame cos it smelled lovely in the bottle!


  5. Mmm I think I like this one, Its fresh without being green. I'm suprised as I thought that I didn't like rose scents but the more and more I try the more I like. Other rose perfume's I have tried go "old lady" on me but anything by Beth is magic!


  6. This was very fruity on me which I liked but then the wine came out on my skin and it was too overpowering. Its a shame as I really wanted to like this one - I think I will keep it as a room fragrance instead of a perfume oil.


  7. I didn't pay much attention to this scent this morning as I was in a rush but I have just smelt it now and it is really nice. Its like a creamy cherry smell - like a strawberry campino sweet but cherry flavoured instead!! I'm not sure if I like it enough to get a 5ml bottle though


  8. This scent is exactly what I would expect a vampire of Nosferatu's age to smell like!! Its really earthy but also quite sweet but in a theres something not quite right about this smell kind of way. Hmm - I'm not sure about this one yet! Ick was the verdict on this one - It made me feel unclean and dirty all day. Meh


  9. I really wanted to like this because of the name but unfortunately this has that "just cut the stem of a flower" smell - it was quite green on me in an overpowering kind of way but I can smell musk underneath it - Unfortunately this is going to go on my swap list as I just couldnt' get the "green" to fade on me.


  10. I wasn't sure on this when I first applied it - It was too flowery/rosy on me - even though there are no flowers or roses in it! It is quite nice now when it died down but it wasn't very strong I.e. I have to sniff my wrist to smell it. It is pleasant but it isn't a "wow that’s me" perfume.


  11. An utterly feral, thoroughly rousing perfume. Red patchouli sweetened by orange blossom.


    Ravenous - I wasn't sure what to think of this when I read the description but I'm glad I tried it as it is really sweet and juicy/fruity. Its a happy and uplifting blend, one that would bring some sunshine and warmth into a cold winters day!

  12. There is a reason that there are 11 pages of reviews for Snake Oil and that is because it is the most gorgeous scent ever! It is sultry and sweet and just so morish. I always feel very sexy when wearing this. I currently have 2 bottles on the go...One I'm aging and the other I wear when I need a confidence boost when going out!


  13. I really wanted to like this one, I wanted to imagine warm and sultry embraces and knowing looks with my other half and for it to inspire some clothes ripping off passionate embraces.

     

    However. On me it just smelled like an aromatherapy oil and it made me sneeze a lot. Oh well. On with the search :P


  14. This was a frimp from the lab and I really didn't expect to like it - for some reason I had in my head that I don't like scents with lavender in (I associate lavender with going to sleep as I have had sleep problems for so long this is the only thing that helps me to drift away!).

     

    It is really nice though, it is a quiet and very calm scent that is quite relaxing (I was wearing it on a stressful day and I didn't come home tearing my hair out which was good!). The only thing was (as with all the ones I seem to like the most) it didn't last very long on me and I had to keep reapplying.
