    The Chapel 2008

    straight sniff from bottle is dark, indeed.... a very similar blend to samhainophobia or samhain...both of which are favs... once applied i get loads of anise with the deeper, darker notes ... thick, complex and pure love... this perfume could not have been named more appropriately

    Knucklebones

    straight sniff from bottle is lime, lemon and gin in that particular order wow! applied this morphs into something so amazing to the schnoz!! firstly very incensey with a touch of musk and spice...OMG... it calms down to the most arousing scent and i am seriously in love with this blend...rum and tobacco arise in all their glory and girls, don't let this perfume fool you into thinking it is a purely manly/man blend... it just ain't so...

    Temperature and BPAL

    personally, i am more concerned when receiving oils in the coldest of winter sub-zero months simply because of possible glass bottles cracking/breaking... i think the oil is hearty enuff to handle the extreme temp issues in my humble opinion =)

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    IIRC, beth had put some bottles up for auction on ebay awhile ago that were larger sizes with a small amount of oil...she was cleaning house...perhaps this was a bottle someone won and now they are auctioning it off....

    The Stormhold

    straight sniff from imp is very much ozone... once applied this gets insanely sweet on me...hmmm... after awhile the bite of vetiver is wonderful....quite subtle... this remains mostly aquatic with an edge of darkness... this is quite interesting and i will hang onto my imp and give it a whirl a few times more before i make a decision on whether or not to purchase a big bottle...

    The Ifrit

    straight sniff from imp is dragon's blood and black pepper.... once applied the red musk and cinnamon play beautifully with the resins and peppery notes... ironically, this reminds me of an YSL perfume i used to have ages ago called champagne... this is positively amazing ... the dragon's blood resin is the best ever!! a big bottle is what i need!!

    Pepper

    straight sniff from imp is ginger and orange with cardamom for good measure... once applied this is *strong* ... gardenia comes forefront...this is a very warm scent IMHO... after awhile a bit of honey and spicy geranium make this a very complex perfume... unfortunately, these notes just don't seem to be for me...i am very glad to have tried it in any case....

    Nanny Ashtoreth

    straight sniff from imp is sweet, dry, slightly floral wood... once applied this remains rather woody with my chemistry and after awhile the amber and leather poke through...the berry note makes this all come together in a very well balanced and interesting blend... another one to try on my boy
