    Black Cat

    Starts out strong peppermint and lemon, and something musky like an animal, and maybe a tiny bit of chocolate. Soon after there's a lot of rose, lemony rose. The rose gets spicier after a while. It fades fast, I think it would be good in a scent locket.

    Anathema

    Strange, I smell chocolate and vetiver. I like it, I'm not sure how much. I'll have to try it again tomorrow. Edit: I tried it again and had forgotten what the notes were and was sure there was almond in this. It has an almondy, dark and earthy smell at first, later it gets a little spicier and vaguely floral but not sweet. Very masculine to me.

    Manila

    Rum, or some kind of alcohol, and banana. Then something smokey. Tropical fruits. There's a lot going on and it seems to shift a lot. Wet and dense and strong. Saltwater and incense, and an overripe banana. Drinking an expensive, fruity alcoholic beverage on tropical beach. Very masculine. There's something very sour going on I don't like though.

    French Love

    This perfume hates me. I can't pick out any notes. It starts out very sweet/sour like an artificial fruit juice. The smell reminds me of the way pixie sticks taste. Later, it's softer, it smells like toys. Very artificial. My five year old would love this. Not sexy!

    Yew-Trees

    When I first put this on it's like sticking my face in a christmas tree. Intense tree smell. It's not at all like a cleaner to me. It's very natural. There's a sugary sweetness overlaying it that must be the berries. This is the only berry scent that doesn't smell like Kool-Aid on me. After an hour or two the pine mellows and there is something there that smells like coconut or vanilla. I will probably buy this one.

    White Rabbit

    It looks like there's a lot of different reactions to this. On me, at first, it's totally sweet and sugary, like chewing a piece of juicyfruit gum. Then the tea comes out a little bit but it's still very fruity. An hour or two later its very nice, tea and vanilla. The initial phase is too sweet for me, but I will be searching out scents with black tea as a note. Edit: This has really grown on me to become my favorite tea scent so far. It's sweet vanilla tea and peppery, it has decent throw and lasts a long time. Love it now.

    Destroying Angel

    At first its a strong old lady perfume, though not a bad one. Soon after I think I get a bit of a clean/wet dirt smell from it. Later it becomes a lot softer and not quite so astringent, but its too mild by then.

    Florence

    Starts out warm and spicy, then begins to reminds me strongly of Black Pearl. Is that the iris? If so then I love iris. Black Pearl, but more powdery. I think I like it more. I thought I was going to hate this one because anything with berries in it smells like Kool-Aid on me and nothing else comes through. No berries in this. There's something familiar in this. Someone mentioned that it smells like a toy from their childhood. A baby doll or something. I will probably buy this one. Edit: Decided it's similar enough to Black Pearl and that between the two I prefer Black Pearl. This is too powdery in comparison.
