    Bat

    hmm this reminds me of one of last year's halloween scents...i think it was wilhemina murray. i get a powdery floral sort of thing going on, which i think is moonflower+honeysuckle. either that or the amber or musk is turning a bit powdery- it's probably the grey musk. also, the orchid makes a faint appearance as well. this is nice but it smells a lot like other scents i've tried. i will keep my imp but probably won't buy a bottle.

    Monna Vanna

    this scent is very evocative of the artwork! it's very rosy, indeed. the calla lily and red currant sweeten it up a bit and the ambergris and vanilla add a nice warmth. at first i mostly get rose, but once it dries the depth of the scent comes out more. it smells very classically floral and feminine. it's so pretty, i will definitely keep my imp.

    Cupid Complaining to Venus

    i got a sniffie of this from a swap with a bit to test. it smells like honey and sweet fruits, with a hint of something warming underneath-must be the sandalwood. this is a pretty scent, but fruity scents are really my thing.

    All Night Long

    in the imp this smells like cinnamon and some sort of resin. on my skin it's cinnamon with other soft spices. once it dries down, i get a sour herbal scent that i cant place. not many of the voodoo blends work with my skin chemistry, and all night long is no exception.

    Hymn to Proserpine

    got this as a frimp from the lab and it's a surprise hit with my skin chemistry. i saw "dark fruits" and immediately assumed it wouldnt work, as mostly fruity scents dont work on me. however, this one is gorgeous! the fruit isnt sweet or cloying. i get amber with subtle fruits and a warm almost vanilla-scent. this is so warm and pretty and not foody on my skin at all. i may have to get a bottle of this one!

    The Tower

    this smells like dragon's blood, cinnamon and almond. at first it smells like smoke with a weird nuttiness to it, then that fades and i am left with smoky sweetness. it does embody the meaning of the card quite well-it is very firey. not sure i'd wear this ever, so i'll put it up for swap.

    Ace of Pentacles

    i kind of like the smell of this, but am not sure i would really wear it. i am getting pine, vetiver and eucalyptus from this. it has a very antiseptic quality to it, and is a bit cold, almost like mint, but not mint...must be eucalyptus? very clean and piney overall.

    The Sun

    this is pure lemon and resin/woods on me. i am getting lemon + pencil shavings, so it's either frankincense, cedar or some kind of sandalwood. i had high hopes for this one, but my skin just doesnt like it, unfortunately.

    Temperance

    i think this is possibly honeysuckle with daffodil and maybe a touch of sweet pea and grasses. the honeysuckle doesnt go too sour on me as usual, and it is quite nice. this is a pretty light, sunny floral-this would be very nice for spring. i will definitely keep my imp.

    The Emathides

    wow, this scent is beautiful! it's a creamy musky floral, and there is something that reminds me of vanilla in a way, which i think might be the olive blossom? luckily the cedar makes no appearance on my skin. i think i am mostly getting black amber, black orchid, blue musk and olive blossom. however, the notes are blended so well, i can't really be sure. this sort of reminds me of love and pain from the salon, but the lavender is subtler here. i love this scent and i am so glad i bought a bottle!

    Singing Moon

    this is an herbal-aquatic to my nose, with a tinge of floral and grasses. i dont think i get the smoke note. it's got a very grassy feel that never seems to cease. it stays strong on my skin and doesn't morph much at all. i like this ok, but wouldn't wear it often so i'll swap it.

    Lenore

    hmm, i've made friends with vetiver recently, but i am not really liking it in this. perhaps it's the combination of it with the patchouli, but i get a sour earthiness from this and something is sending off that pencil shaving scent.

    Coral Snake (2006)

    wow this is very sweet and floral. i get a vanilla-orange-plumeria. very lush and tropical with a warmth behind it. it's almost foody but not quite and all the notes are blended very well. this is very pretty, and isn't really my style. that being said, i could see myself wearing it occasionally.

    Robin Goodfellow

    this smells like a soft masculine fragrance to me. i mostly get the musk with a hint of sage. the moss isn't too strong on my skin. nice, but not really my style, so i will probably swap this.

    Lysander

    i dont even know how to describe this one. i definitely get tonka and lilac musk with a crisp hint of lime. this is a clean masculine scent with a hint of almost-foodiness. once it dries the blackberry leaf comes out more and sweetens it up a bit.

    Australian Copperhead (2006)

    at first i get a slightly sharp berry note, like unripe berries with a tinge of sourness, which overwhelms everything. it smells like some sort of air freshener i remember my grandmother having. once dry, however it smells much better, more like spicy amber with a hint of sweetness from the berries. i will definitely keep my imp, but probably won't need a bottle of this, as fruity scents aren't really my style. though for a fruity scent, i really like this one.

    Banded Sea Snake (2006)

    Snake Oil with oakmoss, sea moss, and olive leaf. wow this is beautiful. in the imp it smells quite green and leafy but on my skin it's very warm and almost vanilla-leather-like. at least to my nose it is. i definitely smell the olive leaf, which is warmed by whatever is coming out in the background. the leathery smell dies down after awhile and i get a stunning but simple vanilla-olive leaf combination with a touch of something tea-like. i am coming to find i am liking the snake pit much more than i thought i would, and i may have to get a bottle of this one.

    Voodoo Lily

    in the imp this smells floral with a hint of almond. it starts out as a light floral but gradually builds to a floral with a spicy intensity. very exotic, pretty and sexy!

    The Gibbous Moon

    i get a pale, watery floral from this. i definitely smell the moonflower, cucumber and hyacinth the most. unfortunately, this turns very soapy on my skin and ends up smelling like watered-down white florals.

    Fairy Market

    fairy market is a pale, sugary floral. it's sweet and the tiniest bit fruity. the incense adds a nice deepness to the scent, which makes me like it a lot. normally i might find this scent too sweet, but the sugary-incense is wonderful and i like it very much. reminds me of midnight on the midway a bit, but is sweeter. definitely keeping my imp of this one.

    Victoria

    i think the lily and vanilla come out on this one. it's very delicate and understated. i love tea rose, and i wish it was a little more prominent, but i still like this scent. i will keep my imp but probably won't get a bottle.

    The Witch Queen

    in the imp i mostly smell the ylang ylang, but on my skin the tuberose and plum seem to stand out the most (mostly plum, as my skin tends to amp it). or maybe heliotrope? not sure what that smells like... i get a slight incense/muskiness beneath the sweet floral, which grounds it some. i think i'll keep my imp but won't get a bottle.

    French Love

    A warm, soft, sexual blend. Sweet and alluring. Used to entice new lovers and add an aura of temptation and carnal sin to your environment. wow, dragon's blood and lilac: 2 notes that my skin hates! still, there is something about this that intrigues me a bit...i do sense a soft spice in the background which is nice, but overall, i dont think it works for me. the dragon's blood/lilac combo reminds me of public bathroom cleaner damned skin chemistry.

    Thanatos

    i kind of like this when i first put it on. i get a warm myrrh-y scent with something i cant put my finger on. after it dries, however, something turns sour on my skin and i can smell the sandalwood and rose mostly. i am getting a pencil-shaving sort of scent from this, so perhaps it's the greek incense or the sandalwood. this just doesnt work with my skin chemistry, sadly.

    Schlafende Baigneuse

    this scent is very soft and pretty, and evokes the art perfectly. it's a very subtle scent with a hint of sweetness, and makes me think of pale yellow. on my skin it's creamy yellow roses with a hint of skin musk. it's very soft as some other people have noted, but it doesnt disappear at all, i think it would be perfect for those days when a subtle, pretty scent is needed.
