    Moon of the Terrible

    This gets lovelier every time I wear it - a little reminiscent of Psyche, but fruitier, without being fruit punch-y. The lavender is still pretty potent at first, but as the lychee & miscellaneous florals come out, it morphs into a lovely calming sweetness. I wish I had about a billion bottles of this.

    Candy Phoenix

    This is what I imagine Glinda the Good Witch smells like. It went on very tart - almost like super overripe cherries, but pinker, if that makes sense. The drydown was sweet on me, but I'm not getting the uber candy note that I keep seeing mentioned. I think the pear tempers the apple pretty well, and keeps it from going all Barbie on me. Love it! Can't wait until my bottle gets here!

    Mania

    The personification of insanity, Mother of Manes, Goddess of Night Spirits, Mistress of Undeath, She Who Gives Life to the Dead. With Mantus, she rules the Etruscan underworld, and her scent is roiling chaos and churning madness, but because she is the mother of the Lares, benevolent household spirits, her perfume also bears an underlying gentleness, and, like madness, a strange sweetness. Screeching white musk collides with a howl of red musk, with sharp white grapefruit and pale strawberry leaf. I wasn't overly excited about this in the bottle (smelled like pancake syrup to me), but once it was on, it was all strawberries and musk and absolutely delicious. Decadently delicious, and it lasted for HOURS. Someone earlier remarked that it was a skankier cousin to Hollywood Babylon, which I could totally see. If it had just been white musk & strawberries, it would have been a sweet girly scent, but the addition of the red musk really amps up the sex appeal. LOVE it. I need many, many bottles of this.
