    Medicine Show

    A veritable miracle, I tell you! A scent that soothes the spirit and stimulates both the libido and the mind: tobacco, balsam, ginger, elemi and rosewood, with a touch of opium to fuddle your senses. Mmm Medicine show. I get vanilla and frankincense with some clove though it looks like none of those are in this! It smells similiar to Lushs Arabian Bright Hair stuff. A winner in my book!

    Black Cat

    Black Cat brings to mind blooming Datura flowers. Theres an occasional waft of Anise, but it only shows its face during the first stage while wearing this oil. It does make me in a cheery mood and I feel playful. Its definatly something to keep around for when times are stressed and you just need that little pick me up.

    Thirteen (13)

    MMm 13~ I never woulda thought I'd like you this much! On me it smells of Strawberry and chocolate cake with some powdered sugar sprinkled on top. After a while in 90 degree weather it begins to turn smokey while having that sweetness play in the backround. It is a very foody, fruity, smokey blend on me which really has been agreeing with my skin chemistry!
  4. Definatly whats been said above, sweet orange and clove with a bit of cinnamon in there as well. All of the magical blends from Beth that I have tried do work. I find that I spend less money on things that I don't need more of and more on things that will help me gain more money. And I smell really good too!

    Phantom

    Ok this is weird, I didnt look at the description at all, I just put this one on. I double checked the imp just to make sure I wasnt trying on something else. Yup its Phantom. WHat I get is lemongrass, myrrh, mint and something lightly floral. I really like this. Its very pleasing but I could've sworn there was something minty in this! Maybe my nose is out of whack, its just what I'm smelling. This is a beautiful scent, wonderful for summer A new favorite!
  6. Oh and don't forget Wolfs heart! Its in the Voodoo collection as well.

    Shub-Niggurath

    I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet since I havent read all the reviews, but this is GingerBread Poppet and 3 Witches combined. ABSOLUTELY fucking gorgeous. I put some on last night and fell in love. I took a chance and decided to mix it into a spray and it works great at scenting my hair, and body. I really do hope this is brought back because it is a masterpeice. I get crisp ginger, pepper, clove, vanilla, and cinnamon.

    Tulzscha

    My gods this is a beautiful scent. Not only does it smell wonderful, but it is very comforting. I was freaking out this morning over my banks "issues" and my hand went for Tulscha. I can smell and feel the mint first, its very cooling, and then the spice of the ginger mingles a bit on my wrist with cooling cucumber. I've forgotten how much I love the smell of cucumber. Its like fresh picked, fresh cut cucumber. Makes me wonder how a cucumber/ginger/mint salad would make me feel right now The only sad part is I only have one 5ml bottle and I can see myself wearing this alot this summer.

    Flower Moon 2005

    Mmm a bouquet of wildflowers after a midday walk around the wetlands of California. Its sunny, reminds me of Poppys and sunshine. True to its name, its floral but not overpowering, a soft and strong bouquet. Lasts for a few hours and isnt at all overpowering.

    Seduction

    mmm this is my favorite so far!! Its sweet tunisian jasmine/ylang ylang and I'm not sure what else. It is devine, has a bit of throw and I love the sweetness, it almost makes me think there is a touch of lotus in it!

    Quietude

    I was lucky enough to get some of this to sample before I decide to go ahead and order a bottle. This is lavender with something like ylang ylang, and I'd go so far as to say a different jasmine than I am used to. Theres prob bergamot in this and something with a lemony scent in it. Its not like a lemon pledge lemon, its very slight, it just sort of gives it that crisp air feel to it. Very clean and cozy, I put this on my 5 year old in hopes of getting him to be quiet! It helps, but he is 5, and I don't think he understands the beauty of silence just yet. As a perfume I can't say it lasts a long time, but for aromatherapudic purposes I think its wonderful. I'm glad I got to try some!!

    Midway

    mmm right away I get smell chocolate and caramel. Theres a burnt dirty kinda smell to it too which is not unpleasant. Maybe some candied apple, very interesting. This really does bring to mind a carnival, sticky sweet and dirty at the same time! Long lasting too. good stuff!

    Pink Moon 2005

    Pink Moon May just be a favorite of mine. Its thick, creamy, and PINK. Hmmm sounds a bit naughty to me. I've never smelled Phlox and have no Idea what it looks like but if it smells anything like this then I need to get some growing around my house. I originally thought this would smell like cotton candy pure and simple, but its not cotton candy, its a bit like bubblicious but with more floral notes. I just can't say what gives this its scent, its gorgeous, longlasting, and beautifuly pink. Yum I just had to add that this is strong without being overpowering. It starts to smell like Tea a the end of the day. I really love this oil, one of my favorites!

    Dorian

    Dorian DOES smell a bit like a foody version of Ice Queen. Theres a bit of Russian tea cake, a touch of lemon and a day at a tea shop. It is lovely and I keep getting wonderful complements from how yummy I smell and "what is that wonderful smell!?" unfortunatly it is soo strong that I love smelling it out of the bottle but on my skin it just amplifies and can become overpowering. I can see why this is loved by many, it is yummy, It just doesnt work for me!

    The Wheel of Fortune

    At first this is medicinal, its a bit harsh, then it cools a bit making me think there may be some kind of mint or somthing similiar in this (anise, eucalyptus?). I also feel like there is sandalwood and something fruity, maybe citrus or a touch of berry. I really enjoy this, It is beautiful.

    Dead Man's Hand

    Wow, this is the scent of a saddle! I also get what smells like money, since so many wallets are made of leather. This is pretty straight forward, money, leather, saddle. A bit odd for a perfume but I like it.

    Hetairae

    The sublimely beautiful, fiercely independent, impeccably cultured, fascinatingly worldly and witty courtesans of ancient Greece. A seductive and dazzling blend of golden honey, fiery patchouli, sweet fig and clove, and a blushing touch of ylang ylang. YUM. At first its all honey and fig, then out comes the clove. This is good stuff! I am so happy that I have a 5ml of this~ ! I don't really get too much of the Patchouli, its a musky scent in the backround, it warms up very nice. Ylang ylang and honey, oh gods yes! Another new scent to the top of my favorites list!!! Not only does it smell wonderful but it lasts a good while. I can see how easy this would be too overdose on. It is a bit sweet, the earthyness of the patchouli brings some stability to it, so its not candy like. I can see how the fig in this *could* get overpowering if slathered on generously. A dab to one wrist and spread out works great for me!

    Silk Road

    Warm cinnamon spice . A touch of floral, is this saffron peaking out? This is just gorgeous, This is 10ml worthy because not only do I love it on myself, but I love it on my boyfriend too. It seems to last a good amount of time. I think the best thing about Silk Road is that its not at all perfumey, it lasts and is not as strong as Morrocco (which began to smell of yeasty bread) This has hit the top of my favorites list, my only regret is that I got a 5ml rather than a 10ml. You should try this if you love spicey warm scents!

    Netzach

    This is sweet and juicy. Definatly rose in this and something a bit warm, resin of some sort? Amber? myrrh? This must have some kind of fruit in it maybe apple or pomegranite? A bit woodsy and very comforting. Mmm I smell sandalwood incense, I really enjoy this and am very pleased with this blend!

    The Lion

    Oooh, The Lion is pepper at first on me, it really warms up and gets me all lazy, It brings to mind the smell of Haunted but with a spicy edge to it. I think this would be great to warm up by the fire or a walk in the rain. Its very beautiful, I'd like to try this on my man to see how it ill develop on him. Definatly warm and regal.

    Yemayá

    I can't decide if this is a watermelon bubbleyum or tropical fruit out of the bottle. On my skin it doesnt change much for a while. Its got that watermelony watery kinda smell too it. Very Pink, it reminds me of a big wad of fruity bubblegum. There may be some sort of flower in this that I am not familiar with, but doesnt smell outright like a flower. After a few hours it becomes a burnt watermelonrind/sugar scent, I asked my old man what he thought it was and he smelled burnt sugar. I think my mind is wanting to believe this has some kind of melon or possibly cucumber in this... (flowers and cucumber maybe?) Very beautiful and sweet, not as strong as some of the Voodoo blends seem to be, this is my first Orisha from the Lab to try. I look forward to smelling more of em!

    Eve

    This is a beautiful crisp scent. The rose is light in this, what I smell the most is the honey apples with the ylang ylang giving it a fresh bitten feel to it. I LOVE THIS and I think I will possibly buy a 10 ml because it could be used on my skin, in my car and in an oil diffuser. I am very happy with this one!

    The World

    I'll have to say that I did not like the World at all. At first it smelled of black Pepper with cinnamon and maybe sandalwood? Then it turned to Bug spray which then made me think of the world clouded in bug spray. I'm sorry, I'm just being truthful and I had high hopes for this one but my skin decided to morph it into Bug Spray

    Saturnalia

    It is green, I really didnt think I would like this one at all but Its not that bad. It has a violet and grape smell to it, but it almost smells of Neem or an natural pesticide. I like the idea behind this and it makes me feel festive so I may just keep this lil imps ear for my own personal use.

    The Living Flame

    Yes I think I will have ot agree that there is some kind of Orchid in this! It is very flowery and smells SO good. IF there is Dragons Blood in this there is VERY little, possibly none at all but I can't say for sure. Its deliciously fruity as well, pomegranite or berry. Its really hard to tell, whatever the blend, it works together so well that it just becomes itself. Oh and it is a little Musky with a touch of smoke at first.
