    Verdandi

    Got this as a frimp and oh am I ever so glad that I did! It's a very clean, fresh smell. The apples and herbs are definitely dominant on me; I haven't picked up the amber yet at all, but then I haven't been practicing my nose on amber much lately My husband likes it, too, but he only thought it smelled like soap or shampoo :-P

    Devil's Night

    ... This is the scent of autumn night, fires in the distance, with a touch of boozy swoon, playful sugar and thuggish musk. Got this in a swap over on LJ. In the imp it was SO strong, I wasn't sure I wanted to put it on at first. But when I did, the lovely smoky scent I was hoping for came right out, as did a kind of pumpkin/cinnamon-y foodiness (or, as my husband has been categorizing scents, "like a scented candle"). Now that it's dry, it's almost got a metallic, blood tangy hint to it. Warm and lovely, the way Devil's Night in Detroit (sort of) is now

    Cerberus

    This is definitely a fall scent; too bad it's still August! Cerberus is the first really foody scent I've tried and it's just lovely and warm. Bitter, spicy chocolate. It doesn't smell like my doggie (which is just as well) but I can easily picture one curled up by the fire, one head keeping a burning eye on me... Definitely a keeper

    Aglaea

    *clears throat* Millions of peaches, peaches for free Millions of peaches, peaches for me PEACHES! I don't get any warm amber, sadly; the peaches are nice. It's not a "LOVE" imp, but it's pretty nice.

    Undertow

    It smells like a tutti-frutti candy cane. I think I can pick out the lotus, and a hint of juniper, but all I can think is "candy cane" and sadly, no sandy beaches...

    The Lady of Shalott

    I wanted to like this one so, so much because of the name...but alas. It's just too sweet on me, and there's a hint of bananas that I don't care much for. I didn't really get any of the aquatics, sadly, either. Into the swap drawer...

    Brisingamen

    Brisingamen is amber and apples, but so faint on me that it might not be worth keeping around It's mostly sweet, with the ambers warming it up (now I think I know what amber smells like ) but I can barely pick it up with my nose practically up against my wrist. Oh well...

    Zephyr

    I was pretty wary of this when I opened the imp--all I could smell in the bottle was musk, and more musk! When I put it on, though, out came the lemon and floral...but there's still too much musk for me to want to keep it around

    White Rabbit

    I got this from an lj purchase and the only reason I even put it on just now (instead of waiting to see how it worked tomorrow morning) was because I saw someone else had a bottle on eBay and maybe I'd want to get it... ...and I DO want to get it! Too bad I'm restricting myself from using ebay anymore... This is such an interesting scent. I smell like tea, strong black tea with milk and something a little spicy. It's stronger than something I'd want to drink but it smells so good! I just hope it won't make me late for things ETA: My god, the throw on this is FANTASTIC. It's just in the crook of my elbow but it wafts up great!

    Titania

    Titania smells like orange jello! I really like it on my clothes; on my skin the musk really comes out and I don't think I'm such a fan of musk, sadly. It's very fruity and light and pretty otherwise--enough that I still might have to get a bottle

    Ophelia

    There are hints here of my mother's perfume; this is the first thing I've ever gotten with rose in it, so that must be what's putting me in mind of Mom. It has an aquatic hint to it, something saltier than the brook Ophelia chose but still damp and almost weedy. It's a bit too floral to really be "me" though.

    Recs for Longest Lasting Oils

    I have a very hard time discerning which scents last the longest on me since my husband is away and can't sniff me Also, I sweat so much during the day because of camp that I fear my oils are being 'washed' off my skin Nonetheless, I know Ice Queen lasts for quite some time on me, as does Bastet, and to a lesser extent, the Unicorn. Of course, these are all limited to a time span of hours as opposed to days, like some other posters have experienced...

    Ice Queen

    My god, this is a wonderful scent! I think I got a little on my lip just now (oops) and it's tingly in a minty-pine sort of way. I definitely smell citrus and freshness and I am *so* glad that I bought this bottle from rosefaith! It's not Narnia's White Witch, nor is it the cruel Snow Queen of the fairy tale, but it's Arienrhod turning to Moon Dawntreader from Joan D. Vinge's Snow Queen cycle. Cold, but with a hint of promise for the summer. I could sniff this all day.

    Titus Andronicus

    This might sound weird, but the only thing I could really think of when I put this on was "Minty and brooding". It's too masculine for me to really enjoy it, too, and "brooding" isn't at all what I want to project for camp today, so I washed it off not long after. It's very nice, just not for me.

    Tenochtitlan

    I got bubblegum right away, but it now smells wonderfully juicy and sweet, with a hint of tartness. I still haven't found a really sage-y scent yet but Tenochtitlan is certainly very nice anyway! It smells ALIVE.
