To me, this is in some ways like the equivalent to the Heirophant reversed. This is like being able to take on a foreign metal armor and know that you can power it through your own energy source a la Tony Stark. It's not infinite, but its also not small. It has heft and breadth, and shines with an otherwordly light. This will also will enforce boundaries - internal and external.

My experience for the Eye is definitely colored by my particular Jupiter-Mars placement (I have Jupiter and Mars conjunct), so Jupiter activations can often result in a more fiery Mars experience for me. With that caveat, the Eye is much more of a firestarter than Turbulent Flow or Outflow Boundary. Clearly influencing my Jupiter influences my Mars, which means it ends up very action oriented. To quote Tina Turner "What's love gotta do with it? Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?". Less emotional, much more cutting. Sovereignty expressed.

I experienced this like a thought tornado. Envision the scene in Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy's house is just swept up, and she watches everything from the window. Imagine however, if Dorothy had summoned that tornado, and knew perfectly well that she was safe, but was just riding all of that energy into Oz. For me this has a very, take in, forward up and out energy.

Dark incense, stone, gleaming leather covered in blood. This smells like straight out of Castlevania. I imagine this is what a Belmont male would smell like. Good throw and wear length.

Acid cucumber, leather, and spooky plaster. There's almost a touch of motor oil in this. This reminds me to a Day Burned White, but sans ghost cocaine dust, and more like dark inky attic where something creepy is going to slither out from the shadows and take you. Spooky. Medium throw and wear length.

Soft roses with a touch of woody vanilla.

Sweet, tart, watermelon with a hint of pom. To be honest, this smells like watermelon to me.

Pink rose, plumeria, and lilac. This smells fresh, sweet, and very floral.

Juicy, red berries (cherry, strawberry, raspberry all blended together), with a touch of sherry. It's a very sort of sangria blend to me.

Lilac, jasmine, and twilight. This smells darkly purple floral, and as if you were essentially in sitting on a porch on a summer's night on a Southern plantation (never been, but this is what I imagine it smells like).

Mossy sandalwood, very fresh and green. Perfect for autumn, and if you're a swamp creature, this would be for you.

Nutty toasty rice (reminds me to rice pudding), and amber. This smells delicious and comfy, and its amazingly good. Love it.
