    Shub-Niggurath

    Gingerbread! yes EVIL gingerbread! It stays the same from beginning to end, yummy, but also a bit dark/evil. Lasts all day and has a great throw. LOVE it!

    Fledgling Raptor Moon

    This is wonderful. For me it starts out woody, spicy, warm. It settles into a very cozy, fuzzy/downy feeling scent. It reminds me of grabbing my fuzzy blanket straight out of the dryer and my old favorite feather pillow and curling up in front of a fireplace with a hot spiced drink. It's comforting and warm.

    BPAL Patchouli - there's nothing else like it

    Ditto on Mme Moriarty, it's gorgeous. Maybe Urd or Baba Yaga? Urd - Excolo - Muscadine, black and red patchouli, cereus and nag champa. Baba Yaga - Marchen - Spell-soaked herbs and flowers, cold iron, broom twigs, bundles of moss and patchouli root, and moth dust.

    Silver Phoenix

    I bought this on impulse, based on the reviews. In the bottle it smells so pretty. It smells shimmery, silvery. I can smell the pear and florals, but they blend together beautifully and do remind me of silver. I wore this a few times when I first got it, and it went through a dirty, kinda smoky phase that I hated. I was pretty much ready to sell or swap it. But I got distracted by other scents and forgot about it. I decided to try it again today to see how it has aged over the last couple of months, and that phase has softened so nicely. Where it was dirty/smoky before it is now fluffy and.. I don't want to say powdery.. it's more poofy. It's like a lovely poofy cloud with gleaming silver lining. I am so glad I decided to keep it.

    Door

    Glorious honey and chamomile from start to finish. My skin amps the hell out of this one, and I love it. I feel like I'm soaking in a tub filled with thick rich floral honey. Very beautiful and comforting. Sweet but not at all too sweet, IMHO, it's just right. I agree with the previous poster, this just gets better and better the longer you have it on.

    The Harp of Cnoc I'Chosgair

    This is very faint in the bottle and when first applied, but once it dries it starts blooming into gorgeous vanilla sandalwood perfection. The first time I wore it I actually forgot I had put something on, I was prepared to write it off as having no staying power (or starting power), but I was distracted doing something else and started wondering what smelled so good and it was me.. or rather The Harp... on me. It may be a slow starter, but it more than makes up for it later in the wear. I'll probably kick myself later for not ordering a backup of this one. It's wonderful.

    TKO

    I bought a decant of TKO from a lovely forumite. I have insomnia issues, most nights it takes me 2 hours to fall asleep, then I wake up a lot. I have used TKO the last 2 nights. I don't remember struggling to fall asleep. I woke up less often, and drifted right back to sleep every time. My dreams were also more intense, more vivid. The overall quality of my sleep was much better. I woke up feeling rested, and less stressed. The fragrance itself is lovely. Lavender and vanilla, it smells fluffy and sweet. I will definitely have to buy a bottle of this.

    Needlework

    I'll admit this was a must have the second I saw the lilac listed, it's one of my favorite flowers and scents. In the bottle and for about the first hour it's mostly lilac. After that the lilac backs off to let the other notes shine through. I get the tea, a bit of ginger, and a lovely blend of lilac, wisteria and musk. I really love this one, it's one of my favorites so far. It's very springy/early summer. Beautiful blend.

    Enchanted Wood Florist

    In the bottle I can’t pick out any of the notes, all I can tell is that it’s sweet floral, familiar. Once it hits my skin I get roses? As it dries I start to smell greenery and some other flowers I can’t identify, lilies or daffodils maybe? It's familiar, I just can't place it. It reminds me a lot of Snow White and Snow Maiden 2009, sort of a Spring cousin to them. I love it.

    Bijoux Y'ha-nthlei

    In the bottle I can't determine the individual notes. When I put it on I can mostly just smell ginger, neroli and tarragon. As it dries the ginger gets stronger, and the other notes play in the background. A lovely spicy herby citrus floral dance going on here. On my skin it isn’t too heavy or too light, it’s just right. It has pretty good staying power on me. I'm really glad I bought it, it's a lovely blend.

    Werepuppy

    So glad that I ordered this. I love this pup! In the bottle and when first applied, this reminds me of creamy baby lotion. As it starts to dry, it smells like a freshly washed baby all lotioned and powdered, wearing something cute and soft, and ready for it's cuddle time. The first time I wore it I didn't really get the upturned soil or dew-covered squished stems. Just sweet clean cuddly baby. The second time I put it on a little more heavily and in several spots, and I could smell a bit of trampled flower bed. It lasts a good while on me. It's definitely a happy comfort scent. One of my favorites so far, I smile every time I smell it.

    Voodoo Lily

    Amorphallus, indeed. A breathtakingly exotic, wild, and grossly erotic spicy gold, purple-black, and burgundy lily. Frimp from the lab. I would have never picked this one for myself, I usually hate spicy scents. In the vial - Spicy. I can't figure out which spices, but it's not the kind I hate. Wet - Spicy creamy floral. Dry down - Less spicy, more creamy lily. The spice keeps the lily from being too loud, and the lily calms the spices, a perfect blending of scents. I love this. As I mentioned, I would have never thought to get this one. So glad I had the chance to try it. It's wonderful. Exotic, creamy, spicy, and yeah sexy. Nearing the top of my "need a bottle" list

    Love-Lies-Bleeding

    This was one I chose in my first order of 6 imps. In the vial - I could smell this one as soon as I opened the box, yum chocolately floral goodness. Wet - Still chocolate, is that rose I'm smelling? It smells like chocolate and roses to me. Dry down - Heavenly chocolate and roses, and something sweet and fruity.. cherries.. lurking in the background. LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. It smells sooooo good on me. Doesn't smell like I'm wearing perfume, it smells like I've been rolling around in rose petals and chocolate covered cherries. Definitely a bottle needed.

    Eat Me

    This was a frimp from the lab. Love it! In the vial - yummy cake Wet - to me it smells like a vanilla cake fresh out of the oven. Warm and sweet and can't wait to cut into it. Dry down - as it first starts to dry the vanilla peeks out more. Then the currents show up. It becomes a wonderfully rich scent. On me it smells perfumey. I don't mean that in a bad way. It smells like someone left a bottle of lovely expensive perfume open beside of a beautifully decorated layer cake with fruit filling. I will definitely be getting a bottle of this.
