    Arcana

    frankincense and rosemary with a touch of lemon verbena... interesting but not something that is working out ..... has some sort of bitter component that does not like me and won't play nicely with the frankincense.........it very well could be the rosemary....

    Jabberwocky

    whoa~~~!! insanely eucalyptus straight from the imp!!!! strong as the day is long, too!!! after a few minutes, the pine and teensy touch of orange pop up..... then it turns soapy and all but disappears.... hmmmm.... i would imagine this would be good to whiff when you are feeling hungover.......it'd definitely help with clearing one's head..... i think i'll keep this lil' sucker around for just such emergencies.....

    London

    bright, vivacious, thick, velvety smooth roses.....stunningly sophisticated and sexy; this is an enormous bouquet of tea roses at their finest.... this warms up beautifully and is wonderfully long lasting...a true creation from the master perfumer.....

    Rakshasa

    the rose, sandalwood and patchouli all come shining through brightly upon application.....after a few minutes this warms up a bit too much for my liking though...... i think it might be the patchouli itself that is the culprit...i get a little bit of an orange incense note after about 1/2 hour and then *poof*..... the scent disappears into oblivion..........

    Nosferatu

    We've finally caved in to years of requests for vampiric scents. As soft as grave dust and as dry as a breath drawn within a long forgotten crypt, this is Nosferatu: desiccated herbs and gritty earth brought to life with a swell of robust and sanguineous red wines. this is zombi's younger, sweeter and less worldly sibling..... most definitely has components of moist and earthy soil...loamy and moldy but in the most interesting and beautiful way....a sweeter scent comes through after awhile and this turns into one of beth's most admirable and stunning creations to date...i was fortunate to obtain this in a swap and also have a 10 ml on order....yes, that is just how amazing this blend works for me...... love it!!!

    Horn of Plenty

    oooooh!! yummy!!! just a touch of almond, twinge of sour cherry & a bit of hemlock...... this is one truly amazing and unique blend and will warrant a big bottle in the very near future....i love this

    Has No Hanna

    big huge rosy floral...just a drop of this is all you need!! mighty powerful stuff here folks!!! stays true to the initial application on me with a touch of vanilla.....beautifully done

    All Night Long

    cinnamon and linseed oil.....both equally as strong with my chemistry..... the linseed seems to have a twang of a bitter edge....after a few minutes these 2 scents seemingly meld into each other to perform a beautiful and outstanding union....this will be a perfect blend for dancing in the sheets.....

    Alice

    the honey, rose and milk really stand out in this perfume and i feel very fortunate that they all work beautifully with my chemistry this is a very comforting and beautiful scent and most definitely warrants a big bottle purchase......just gorgeous....reminiscent of a springtime tea party in a field full of daisies and daffodils......amazing!!

    Aeval

    this is a beautifully light and floral blend on me... quite pretty, indeed.....i can definitely smell the sweet pea and just a hint of the sage.....turns into more of a green floral after a few minutes......has some component that is quite reminiscent of auntie caroline's joy mojo...fades much too quickly on me but i do like this......

    Absinthe

    slightly minty and wormwoody.....initially after application i get a distinct whiff of an extremely clean laundry detergent or soap scent but this dissipates quickly and then i am left with a spicy and sweet blend.....quite lovely.... i would think this might work wonderfully in the summertime months for me so i will try this one again in the warmer months..........unique at the very least.....

    Harvest Moon 2005

    i had visions of grandeur for this version as 2004 was most definitely not for me.... wet in the bottle it is an apple/cinnamon/berry/pumpkiny treat......upon application the scent morphs into an apple muffin....or something.... a doughy component pops up....and then a slight floral note..... it seems to last forever on..... unfortunately for me, this is not something that works......

    Harvest Moon 2004

    while i adore how this smells in the bottle of autumn florals and something woodsy once it hits my skin it is complete chaos immediately it turned almost rubbery and sour....a bit medicinal....what a shame... for the grand finale i get all bandaid....chemistry can be so kooky

    Darkness

    i had such high hopes for darkness.... straight from the imp is is very dark as the name implies but dark florals... the myrrh in this one never even comes out .... just thick, languid florals that don't work well with my chemistry.... after awhile, this reminds me of something my gramma used to wear but i can't quite pinpoint which fragrance it was..... off this baby imp goes as a frimp to a lovely swapper
  15. i would highly recommend hemlock and nuclear winter ........ hemlock is just phenomenal and nuclear winter has an icy edge with pine..... trust me....it will knock your sox off
  16. sookster

    Nuclear Winter

    minty and sweet with green undertones....this is such a beautiful scent after awhile i get a touch of hemlock....it mixes beautifully with the icy cold mintiness of this blend....gorgeous and long lasting i am so glad i was able to score a bottle of this from a lovely forumite ..... and the label is such fun too!!!!

    thanks to all of your input, i finally came up with my very own dupe using 1 drop snake charmer, 1 drop dana o'shee, 1/2 drop of the red queen!!!!! amazing!!!!!! i couldn't have done it without you guys....

    Nyx

    this screams jasmine upon application ..... and unfortunately i never get any myrrh or rose.... just that predominant note of straight up jasmine that sadly enough does not agree with my body chemisty....

    Nanshe

    i was fortunate enough to receive an imp of this and i will be using it next time i sleep to see what might happen in the meantime i tried the teensiest bit on my wrist and it reminds me very vividly of when my mother used to burn citronella candles.....this is extremely strong .... when it dries down it is the same smell as the citronella candle without burning.... that waxy citronella scent.....brings back very fond memories for me....

    Black Hellebore

    fresh lovely peony oh this is just gorgeous...... after awhile a rooty essence comes through that makes this blend fantastically delicious!!! love this a lot.....

    well i have imps of dana and snake oil...so all i need now is an imp of aureus to see if i could make it...... hmmmm....i wonder if a dab of hunger might work as well..........

    Lorelei

    wet in vial...mustard, lettuce and capers...ohmy!!! upon application it is still the same way.....how odd.... after 5 minutes it warms up .... i do get the sandalwood and ylang ylang but i just can't knock that weird capery kind of note....just not my cup of tea....
  23. sookster

    Jezebel

    dusty fruit....hmmm...it must be the honey in this blend.....quite sweet.... kind of pretty.....after about 30 minutes this fragrance warms up...the orange and sandalwood are coming out and this is one lovely....the honey comes back out and makes this quite intriguing.....i like it a lot
  24. sookster

    Morgause

    wow......i get total and complete florals out of this one....strong as well.....none of the incense ever comes through at all.....just lots of florals that i have a hard time distinguishing... but it is kind of pretty......intense though.....and interesting.....
  25. sookster

    Cathode

    minty to start but i do get the ambergris in this as well...maybe some herbally goodness....this doesn't last too long on me but it is a very interesting scent indeed....
