  1. sweetly spiced almonds!

     

    This is beautiful. It dries to a really nice spiced almond scent with perhaps a bit of cream or vanilla, honey, and a tiny bit of cherry.

     

     

    This is only the second Sephiroth I've tried, the other being Hod, but I'm definately going to have to try all of them, as both Kether and Hod are both beautiful


  2. Dark, musky, and animalistic. Possibly patchouli or black musk, I can't tell. I'm not good a picking out civet, so I'm not sure if its in this, but this is a very dark, heavy blend. I'm not getting any of the cinnimon. Just dark musk and patchouli


  3. Like everyone else has said, Violets.

     

    It reminds me of Ingrid Magnussen in "White Oleander". She was always described as smelling of violets and ash, which is exactly what I get from Numb. It is definately haughty and cold.


  4. Oh, this is so pretty

     

    Slightly spicy, slightly sweet. I'm having trouble picking out the individual notes. Its like spiced apples and figs, with a little bit of lotus and cloves. The apple isn't screaming at me, like in the Hesperides. This is like slow cooked apples, till they are soft and mushy.

     

    This is definately my favorite tarot oil so far. This scent makes me feel warm. I feel like its a winter scent that should be work with comfortable clothes that are way too big while curled up on the couch in front of a fire.


  5. This is really strong!

     

    Its mostly apricot with the slight spice of clove. I didn't think I was going to like this, but its quite yummy!

     

    I think I might get some for my mother to use as a room scent, as she likes oranges and cloves around christmas time


  6. At first I get something rather green, yet floral, with a touch of vanilla.

     

    The violet and the gardenia are fighting a bit, and the vanilla is in the background. Its odd, but I enjoy the scent on my body, but when I bring my wrist up to my nose, I don't like it.

     

    *edit* It is starting to soften up quite a bit into a nice vanilla floral and I enjoy it even bringing my wrist up to my nose


  7. To me, it smells very very buttery, much like the butterness in Jack.

     

    On me, it is buttered popcorn on the skin, but still more butter than corn and there's a slight sweetness to it.

     

    I was nervous about trying this, as I just discovered I'm allergic to corn, but this is nice. A nice buttery scent


  8. It smells of chocolate mint in the vial.

     

    On the skin:

     

    It starts out minty, maybe eucalyptus.

     

    Then it dries and the roses come out.

     

    Mostly roses, but still with the mintyness in the background

     

    Go away roses! There is something volatile in this. Its starting to smell like pickles. It keeps morphing. Its becoming pretty faint now.

     

    Trying this was a bizarre experience


  9. This is definately a "Don't fuck with me" scent. I was very tired this morning, but now I feel like roaring.

     

    The scent is herbal and green. I think I'm getting a bit of fennel with a bit of lemongrass. I'm not sure what sweet grass is, so maybe that is what I'm mistaking for fennel. It has a very familiar scent.


  10. Maybe I'm on crack, but i smell creamy grapefruit.

     

    In the vial, its berries and gardenia. A creamier version of Jester. This has many stages. Citrus fruity, then its berries and gardenia...........then a little bit of roses come out.

     

    The roses don't take over, they compliment.

     

    This is a pretty, fruity, floral


  11. Spicy Patchouli.

     

    I almost get a cinnamon note when i put it on, but then it dries to a nice spicy patchouli. Must be the cardamom. Its very pretty and seems like a very personal scent. I have to bring my wrist up to my nose to really smell it.

     

    Beautiful scent


  12. A dark and bellicose scent that speaks of loss, lament, bitterness and breast-beating woe: thick black vetiver, sharp white musk and lemon peel, smoke and saffron, patchouli, thyme and black plum.


    *drools*

    In the vial, I can't really describe it. Wet dark vetiver. patchouli, and a little lemon


    On my skin, its chocolate, right away, almost like how Penny Dreadful does on me. Then it mellows to this beautiful dark scent. I get the Snake Charmer/Torture King reference, but its darker than both.

    I think I'm going to add a bottle to my order tomorrow when I order Red Phoenix

  13. Oh this is so pretty!

     

    I bought a bottle of it unsniffed for my mum for christmas because she loves gardenia.

    I snagged an imp of it from a forumite just to smell it before it got here. She's going to LOVE this

     

    Its all gardenia and water blossoms.

     

     

    I let her sniff my wrist without telling her I bought her a bottle. She DOES love it :P
