  1. I think this should have been named Serpent's Bite instead of Serpent's Kiss, because it has a very sharp bite to me. When it settles down it turns to a bitter, stale powder (old cinnamon sticks?). This is the first dragon's blood scent that I don't like. I think it would work better on a man.


  2. Ugh. The worst one I've tried. My mother-in-law and I were smelling them together and she asked me what was in it. I said, male cat spray? Actually I think it's the booze. If you like boozy smells you may like it, otherwise beware.


  3. Very nice, but the vanilla went really strong on me after a while. I like it enough to use the imp but won't order it unless it's for others who like vanilla. If you're a vanilla fan, I expect you'll love this one.

     

    edited to add: after it aged the vanilla toned down and the lovely spices came out. Changed my mind - it's bottle worthy. I just need to let the bottle age before I use it.


  4. I so thought I would like this from the ingredients. Sorry to say I found that many of the florals go soapy on me, in a very itchy way. I thought I was a light floral person but am finding that I'm more an amber, dragon's blood, spice person. Who knew. Don't be afraid to try a bit from each category, you may surprise yourself.


  5. Someone posted that this smells like uplifting pineapple. It doesn't list that in the ingredients, but it's a great description. This one really made me want to get moving in the morning and get things accomplished. If it lasted longer on me and was stronger, I'd buy a bottle. I'll definitely use the imp.


  6. I really liked this at first, but the more I wore it the more it smelled like men's cologne. As I checked the site (this was a freebie), I found it was more for men. I think it smells too sweet to be for the anti-Christ, just my opinion, but I do think I'd love it on a man. Unfortunately, my man won't wear scents at all!! It'll depend on skin chemistry. It's a great scent, just not for me.


  7. I love this! I was afraid to try dragon's blood and didn't know it was in this oil. When I found out I began trying others with that scent and am now a fan. To me this wasn't, Grr I'm strong, watch out. It was more like mama wolf is guarding the den so I'm safe and can curl up with the puppies. I was very stressed out with my man going through a health crisis and this scent REALLY calmed me down. I use it now when I'm letting my mind carry me away, and it is very calming. It's good for sleep, but doesn't induce sleep if I need to be up and around, just calmness and contentment. LOVE it!!


  8. This is a delightful fresh fragrance. It's light but doesn't die away quickly. Again, a perfect match to the name. Throughout the day it would waft lightly up to touch me like a gentle breeze. The lemon, floral, and musk are perfectly balanced.


  9. I like it. Very much wood, but not like cut fireplace wood. It's like wood infused with life. A perfect match to the name. It's a bit strong for me to wear though I think I'd love it on a man. I'm thinking maybe a room scent, especially when I want to think of being in a cabin in the woods.


  10. This is a great example of why you should try each oil a few times before deciding. Arkham started out just "okay." After trying it again, I thought it was good. Now I think it's great. I hope to purchase a bottle in my next order. I get a hint of maple that's just delicious, like the sap dripping down the tree bark, not like syrupy. It's a smell of the woods with the sunshine warming the leaves and just touching on the flowers underneath. One of my favorite everyday scents now.


  11. I don't really like to write negative things, but I appreciate when others have written things to help me avoid oils that won't agree with me so I can spend my money better. So here goes. The Deep Ones started off smelling pleasantly like a day at the beach - salty air and sand. Then the algae and seaweed took over and it smelled dark and rotting. Aquatics definitely disagree with my skin and nose.


  12. Haunted is lovely. It's my first bottle purchase. The amber and black musk are so sweet and dark. (And this from someone who thought she was a light, floral scent person.) This is not haunted like a nightmare, but like a sweet, old memory that you aren't really thinking of but it never leaves you. Some sight or smell triggers the nostalgia and the memory wafts through your mind and continues on, just leaving you peaceful and smiling. I found this scent a good one for sleeping.


  13. I'm so glad that I kept trying different oils. I think I've found my signature scent. Dragon's Heart is warm, dark, and sensual. I was nervous about the fig, thinking it would be sticky sweet. There is a sweetness but it's not at all sugary or sappy. There's a nice, light spice to it as well. Mmm. I could inhale this all day. Delicious.
