    Desire

    I can't really discern any individual notes in the bottle. Wet I primarily smell the patchouli and musk, which is a good thing. As it dries, the rose comes out, along with a bit of the neroli. Fifteen minutes in....neroli and rose my favorite (discontinued) Yankee Candle, with a smoky, sultry backdrop. I am loving this more and more every minute. The strength is just right; not too light, not too strong. This is going to become one of my favorites. Definitely worth a big bottle. On the wickedgoddess scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best) 5 .

    Cerberus

    This smells delicious in the bottle. Wet, it smells of lemon pledge. Slightly spicy lemon pledge. I'm not getting chocolate at all, unfortunately. It's sweet and juicy and shows promise. As it dries I am getting more of the juniper and fig. Unfortuanately, I don't really like juniper or fig. About an hour in I finally get a whiff of rum. The longer I wear this the more I like it, but I don't like it enough to buy a bottle. I probably will hang on to the imp though. It's now about 5 hours since I put it on and it smells great! Rum and musk. If it could only smell this good all the time! 24 hours later....okay this smells awesome now. Gah..why can't it smell this good when I first put it on!!

    Spooky

    I'm not a fan of mint, but I love cocoa and rum and coconut, so I was curious to try this out. In the bottle, I got the strong smell of mint, Thin Mint cookies!! Wet, this appears to be another scent my skin eats. I get faint coconut and even fainter mint. Dry, mmm, I get a hint of cocoa now. After 2 hours - Creamy smooth cocoa with just a hint a mint. Although once again my skin has eaten most of it, and it's just a hint of frangrance. Even if it was stronger though, it would be a fun scent, but not one I would really wear.

    Snow White

    I love Snow White, the story, and really, really wanted to like this scent. And I think I probably would, if I could smell it. Wet..I don't smell anything at all! Well, maybe a teeny, tiny bit of indistinguishable sweetness, but that's it. I reapply strongly…still nothing. Dry…ever so faintly I smell almonds, but I really have to work at it. As times goes on the almond gets stronger; after 2 hours...ah, now I can smell it, just barely, but it's there. This appears to be another of the milky scents that my skin eats.

    Dead Man's Hand

    Leather, or rather, suede. I feel like I am smelling a saddle. It's dead-on accurate, and much nicer than I would expect, kind of a fun scent. I feel like a cowboy! I don't think I would ever wear this though. On the wickedgoddess scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best) 2.

    The Living Flame

    Wet, I can't pick out any individual notes at all, but it smells floral and slightly fruity. As it dries the fruity scent, which appears to be berries or maybe plum, becomes more prominent. Since I am not a fan of fruity scents, and I think I am getting a mild headeache from this one as well, it's off to the swap pile. On the wickedgoddess scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best) 1.

    Harvest Moon 2004

    Wet - light and sweet. No notes are prominent except perhaps apple. The floral scent is there, but it's not overwhelmingly floral, more of a light, pleasant floral scent. Much lighter than I expected. Dry - Mmmm, apple cider! Just a whisper of a scent, like a breeze blowing over an apple orchard on an autumn day. I usually like much heavier perfumes, but there is something very appealing about this. On the wickedgoddess scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best) 4

    Red Moon 2004

    Out of the bottle…cherry, with something darker underneath. Wet..cherry kool-aid and flowers. Five minutes in….ugh, I'm getting a headache from this. I think it's time to wash this one off. Too bad, amber, dragon's blood and orange peel sounded yummy, but I'm not getting any of those note from this. Hours later, even after washing, the scent of cherry still lingers behind.

    Chaste Moon 2005

    Butterscotch and candy kisses, feminine and girly and light as air. Pretty and sweet and not at all for me. On the wickedgoddess scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best) 2 .

    Black Rose

    Wet, I smell roses covered with dirt, mixed in with another scent. It's not rose, amber or musk that I am smelling but something green, like grass, but not quite. I don't get musk or amber out of it yet. Dry, the musk really starts to come out. It overpowers the rose a bit, although I can still smell it. I still prefer the Black Rose scent of Dark Candles, but this is a nice rose blend. On the wickedgoddess scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being best) 2 . Edited - I went back and tried this a third time, after trying Zombi, and it doesn't work for me as well as I thought. It's got to be the amber; as much as I like amber it really isn't my friend.

    O

    In the bottle, absolutely scrumptious! Wet, I get a powdery honey. On dry-down the powder goes away (yay!) and it's pure golden honey. As time passes the amber begins to show itself, subtlely at first and then stronger, more powerful, and the honey moves to the back seat. In less than an hour it's almost completely faded to powder, but my god, it's wonderful while it lasts. On the wickedgoddess scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being best) 4.5

    Scarecrow

    Wet, it smells golden. As it begins to dry, I get smoke. Delicious smoky fields. I worry about my allergies, but I only get a light twinge of a headache and then it goes away. The smoke is coming out stronger. I think I really like this one. But then it starts to fade, not as fast as Sudha Sigara, but still much too soon. Off to reapply.... Second application, much the same, although I did catch a quick whiff of green when wet, that quickly faded. Not a strong scent at all, but different and pretty and I can still smell a bit on my wrist 12 hours later. On the wickedgoddess 5 point scale (5 being the best) I give this a 3 .

    Debauchery

    In the bottle and wet, incredible!! I don't even know what to say about this one. On me, the civet and musk are perfectly blended and smell is decandent. As it dries the opium comes out to play. Oh yeah, this one's a new favorite! I don't know if it's because I am a Scorpio, but while the milky fragrances don't work on me at all, I love the dark, sexy, earthy scents. Bring 'em on! On the wickedgoddess 5 point scale (5 being the best) I give this a 5 .

    Grog

    Mmmmm…in the bottle, hot buttered rum. Wet, it's still hot buttered rum with a hint of spice. Nutmeg? No, probably not. On dry down first it gets very sweet…butterscotch, and I think it's going to be too sweet for me. But then after a while the sweetness mellows out and it gets smokier. Lovely! In summary, this is probably too sweet for everyday use, but much nicer than expected, and fun to wear every now and then. On the wickedgoddess scale of 1 to 5, give this a 4 .

    Blood Lotus

    I can't quite place any of the notes in this one. Lotus obviously, and possibly dragon's blood. In the bottle it smells strongly Egyptian. On, it's pleasant enough, but probably not something I would wear very often. On the wickedgoddes scale of 1 - 5, I give this a 2 .

    Snake Oil

    By far, our most popular scent! Magnetic, mysterious, and exceedingly sexual in nature. A blend of exotic Indonesian oils sugared with vanilla. I finally figured out what to do with my Snake Oil! Let's start with the review. In the bottle it smells heavenly, but wet, it smells of exotic spices with a touch of vanilla and...a touch of that plasticy scent that I also get off of Egg Nog. Ugh! But if I leave it on for 4 or 5 hours, it's heavenly. Faint, but heavenly. So them I layer more on to strengthen the scent and...yuck plastic. I have been debating whether to keep this or trade it when I decided to try something different, so I layered it with O, another scent that is lovely but barely perceptible on me. And it worked! Layered with O, it's a creamy vanilla, with exotic spices and just a touch of amber. Best of all, no plastic smell, and it lasts and lasts. Yay, I can finally love my Snake Oil the way I wanted to.
