    Jingu

    Jingu is a nice soft floral that becomes more rounded by the citrus and wood notes to give it depth. It is extremely feminine, and meshes well with the bat oil. With the bath oil, I get more of the asian feel, probably because of the plum wine.

    Black Butterfly Moon

    On first sniff this is a dark floral not as delicate as I was expecting. On application it is patchouli and floral, and my thought is uh oh. Wet It is floral and dark and really pretty now that the patchouli has been tamed. Dry it is a dark floral with good throw. There is a salty (the ambergis I presume), and it has a velvetty feel ( I think this is the orris). It is a nice well rounded scent.

    The Rose

    This is the most realistic rose scent I think I have ever smelled, that isn't a rose. It is more than just rose though because it has the sharp green scent of the stems and leaves.

    Spinning Multicolored Metallic Pinwheel

    I realized today I need a bottle of this. It is like fizzy fruit punch with juniper all mixed in. It reminds me a lot of Blue Fire which I like.

    Boadicea Bath Oil

    In the bottle it is vanilla with lots of fig. The patchouli, vetiver and pine are in the background. Once it hits my skin there is a big blast of patchouli. Once it dries though this is sexy. It is creamy figgy vanilla with an undercurrent of patchouli, and a touch of amber. It's even better paired with the prefume.

    Melisande, The Puppet Mistress

    Florals and I are hit and miss. In the bottle this is orange jasmine and violets. It's interesting in a good way. Wet it loses the orangey scent, and becomes all jasmine and violets. One whiff it's jasmine, the next it is violet. Dry it is a swirl that has been rounded out by the vanilla and musk so it is neither too sweet, or too dark. This floral was a hit. 9+ hours later I get the barest hints of jasmine and vanilla on my skin.

    Detestable Putrescence

    This is vanilla ice crfeam. When I smelled this at cobwebs in Juky I like it, but couldn't put my finger on why. When I read that Beth said vanilla ice cream it clicked. It is like the bowls of ice cream I stirred and stirred until I made my own milkshake. It was always warm and oozy, and better than it is in its a real firm.

    Gothic Horror

    I get faded rose and a soft citrus. The longer I wear it there comes myrrh and incense with very little balsam. Once it dries it kind of all swirlks together without the citrus. This will be in the rotation qjuite a bit in cooler weather.

    AF1

    Vanilla, sugar, floral. It smells like a vanilla cake with a light floral icing. There is something else here that is not strong, but it keeps the blend from becoming cloyingly sweet. 'Tis love.

    Sachs

    It starts off all sweet chamomille with a smidge of vanilla, on my skin however, it is vanilla with a smidge of chamomille. It had good throw while drying, but dries close to the skin. I

    Spanked

    I received a tiny amount of this and ye gads I need more... In the bottle it is all leather and patchouli, but as soon as it hits my skin it is cardamom and leather. As it dries the bourbon comes out and it becomes mellower but still dead sexy.

    Lolita v2

    In the bottle this is pure bubblegum. Wet on my skin it is the same. That straight up buble gum that is good for like 5 chews then there is no flavor and is hell on the jaw. Dry I swear like the previous reviewer I get some almond. This at drydown goes from good to better.

    Fearful Pleasure

    When I first apply this it is the perfect apple cider scent. As it dries it takes on more of a smoky cedar scent with apple cider mingling through it. A deep close huff gets apple and cinnamon, and farther apples with cinnamon, orange and beer mingled with smoke. I think I am sad I only have an imp.

    Stinky

    In the bottle this is all baby powder. Uh-oh. Then wet there is a battle milkbabypowdermilkbabypowder!! then baby powder begins shouting to make herself known. On drwdown though it it baby powder, milk (didn't let powder intimidate, color me shocked) and a tiny amount of honey that rounds out the scent.

    Alien Invasion

    This is a bright citrus like grapefruit or yuzu with some sweeter fruit mixed in the background. Once it dries it seems like there is green musk to ground this. It is very nice.

    Zombie Apocalypse

    In the bottle it is caramel and red jelly. Wet it is red jelly and sugar. Dry the caramel comes back, and the fruit settles down to a nice strawberry jelly. Yum.

    Berry Moon 2009

    In the bottle this smells quite like a berry fruit salad. I was slightky worried however of putting it on my skin, because the reactions hered had been so varied. Wet: It is berries and honey. Like good sweet ripe summer berries and a touch of honey. Dry there are still plenty of berries, honey, and musk giving it all a nice base. I wish I had two

    How Doth the Little Crocodile

    In the imp: this is chocolate mint. Wet on my skin it becomes a creamy chocolate mint. I think the vanilla is what is making this seem creamy to me. Dry the cedar comes out to give this a nice base so it does not become uber foody. Right now i'm happy with my imp, and it will be getting some work.

    Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo

    In the imp this is sugar coated fruit. Wet: it smells like red fruit(cherries, strawberries) coated in cream and sugar and blended with extra sugar on top. After 12 hours it still smells lightly of cream on my skin. I like this, but it is not a top ten fave. I think it did help me feel a little more happy though.

    St. John's Eve

    I was a little worried about how this would work for me. On first sniff it is all smoke. Wet on my skin the myrrh comes out right away and makes it a fire with burning incense. Once dry the white rose made its appearance, and adds just a little sweetness to round this out. Yay!! this one makes me happy

    Lilith and the Jarocho

    My first sniff out of the bottle is all jasmine. The next it is all margarita. Wet on my skin the vanilla blooms with the jasmine and citrus from the margarita. On dry down this is vanilla flowers with a margarita sitting in the way of a blowing fan. This is a scent I can see myself wearing all summer.

    Strawberry Moon 2009

    To me in the bottle this smells like fresh picked strawberries sitting in a bowl with vanilla cream. On the drydown there is a greenness that comes out that tempers the sweetness of the berries. I had to hide this one it is so good.

    June Gloom 2009

    In the bottle this is floral with a bit of herbiness. Wet on my skin it is like a wildflower floral with citrus to soften the floral, and a soft sheen of water hanging over all of it all. Dry it is a very clean floral with soft citrus. I like this one quite abit.

    Hope

    Simplicity and innocence, gleefully despoiled! Sugared rose. This is the perfect scent for when I want to be girlie. It is a soft rose with sugar on top. It stays that way until it is completely dry, an then there is a hint of vanilla. It turns its vanilla sugared tea roses. I need at least 2 bottles of the twins.

    White Rose

    This is the the creamy feminine one of the two roses. It is the tea from Dorian mixed with coconut. Way deep under the mix of the tea and cocumut is a beautiful soft rose. This makes me happy.
