In three words: citrusy, creamy, yellow. And yummy! Please re-release the astros Beth!!!!
-
(Based on original forumlation) This is an herbal woody mint scent. My notes on this scent indicate that I'd intended to buy a bottle of this when it was rereleased. Wonder what I was thinking that day.
-
I have tried both the original formulation and the revisited version - eventually I swapped for the revisited, which I failed to order the first time around, because I'm a dope, but nevermind that, on to the goods: This is a bright, spicy floral blend - very fresh and evocative of bright yellow...sunshine.

This review is based on a decant from the discon. circular swap, not the 2006 resurrection: I cannot wear the vast majority of heavy jasmine blends, and unfortunately, no amount of citrus/spicy/Oriential perfumierie magic can save Yuki-Onna from being heavily jasmine to my chemistry. Ah well.
-
This is a soft floral aquatic that I like and can wear. That is really all that I need to say about this one, I think.
-
Wow...of the "soft pretty white florals" in this series, this one is definitely my favorite - there is something round and vanilla-like that evens this up to my nose and gives my not-so-big-on-the-white-florals self more to work with.
-
This was almost almondy at first to my nose. Odd...then it becomes a pretty light aquatic floral.
-
I really really wanted to love this, as "Alone" is one of my favorite Poe poems...but patchouli and I have a strange love affair and in this blend he is just not behaving, making me feel like a walking head shop. Really, darling, it's not you - it's me.
-
A very pretty sweet floral - not terribly "me" as I tend toward the heavier, darker stuff, but really very lovely.
-
I really like the spicy sharpness of this - it was not nearly as heavy as I'd expected and the jasmine actually behaves, allowing the other notes to play on my skin. This is not a scent that I wear regularly, but I have held on to my decant after all...

Citrusy herbal floral love... I am not a huge floral fan, and tend to get very scared off by anything "night blooming", but I have discovered that as long as "jasmine" doesn't follow that phrase, I adore Beth's evening floral blends. Chiroptera is no exception...the added shot of herbs and citrus, favorites of mine anyway, certainly do not hurt my love of this blend.
-
This was a sweet, spicy, herbal blend to my nose, evocative of rain over the deserts of the American west, but not immediately aquatic or wet to me - which is a good thing, as I have dodgy luck with aquatics and ozones. I like this quite a bit, actually.
-
Tried as part of the LE circular swap: This is very sweet and creamy and definitely true to its name, but is more subtle than I'd expected. I generally don't go in for the blends that smell like specific foods, but Egg Nog was surprisingly warm and nice on my skin - like an evocation of Nog, as opposed to a rendering of it. I really liked this and would love to be able to get more...
-
Mmm...musly, boozy, rich and sexy. Those are really the best words I can come up with for Storyville. This is a lovely rich scent - probably the sexiest foody scent I've ever sniffed, but with all of its fabulousness, it is just a tad too foody for everyday wear for me...
-
From reading the description, I knew I would love this plummy, woody, coconutty, creamy delightful blend of delishiousness...if only I could get my mits on more than just an imp...
-
Sweet, fresh, sugary...this is a nice little scent, but not something I'm deeply in love with. I definitely like this better than the Absinthe GC, which was very astringent on me, but there is a floral note here that I'm amping, which saddens me, because I would love the honey, herbal lime that I'm seeing in some other reviews...
-
Mmmmmm...spicy alcoholic leather. Damn, that's a good thing. I have a decant of Spanked that doesn't get nearly the wear it should, because, dayum, I smell like dirty, stinky, boozy sex when I wear it (and I mean that in the best possible way ). This is definitely not an office or playdate sort of scent. But it is awfully good...
-
I love this, and bought some based on the early reviews ages ago...I've put off reviewing it because...well, because sometimes it is harder to review the scents you love the most, I think. Hellion is a deep, rich, smoky, spicy complex scent. It is in the same family as Mme. Moriarty and Red Phoenix and falls in between them I think - whereas Red Phoenix is very dry and spicy, and Mme. M is more sweet and juicy, Hellion is more of a middle ground. I love this scent, I truly do, and am treasuring my 10ml...

I tried this at a meet and sniff and it is pure fudgie brownie. I can see why the chocolate scent lovers are all over this one, but while I love the scent of brownies, I prefer to wear them on my thighs, rather than on my wrists.
-
Sarada, I want to know how you calculated that.
