    Tiger Lily

    I have to agree with several on this thread regarding Tiger Lily: green floral with honey. It's usually what I don't prefer simply because I'm not the green floral type (more so green herby). I do like the change from floral to honey in the dryout process, like going from exited to calm... I can see one of my cooler friends wearing this - you know, that friend who's so personable, friendly, talented, gifted & pretty that you're never jealous of because they're so wonderful?! You know very few people like this, but your life is better for having to know them. Yeah, I can see my violinist/pianist/dancer/gypsy/taoist friend wearing this...

    The Dormouse

    The Dormouse met my hopes & is one of my favorites. Leafy, herby & a little floral. Nice, happy, clean! It has most of the elements I look for when shopping for scents. Not much else I can add: Lovely!

    Geek

    A snarling, feral scent, ever-so-slightly slightly deranged: hot leather, opoponax, cedar, pine needle, mosses, dry grass, patchouli and cinnamon bark. I was going to say that Geek is Today's Scent for the Urban Man but then I hear my husband say, "What? Like waking up in a forest still drunk from last night? So drunk you sweat liquor?" I thought he was being a bit too cynical - then I looked up the history of Geeks. Some men who were hired for the Carnival who were so alcoholic they would, "do anything for a drink." They had so much alcohol in their system it slowly seeped out of their pores - giving them an almost tangy, leathery ordor. Geek does not smell exactly like this, but it's close the inspiration. One of my favorites nonetheless...

    Black Forest

    Got this as a frimp, yea! To me Black Forest smells like The Hunt - the woods, the night air, energetic, masculine, wild - *ahem* sexy! I catch myself re-applying it then calling my husband for some reason. Slowly becoming my favorite. Hope to buy the 5ml soon!

    Numb

    Numb gave me the impression of a talc commonly used in the 20's (can't remember the name now) a little carnation, a little mineral & definitely that baby powder foreground. I loved my friend's reaction to Numb at work, when she exclaimed, "It smells like babies!!" I also noticed the carnation & a little bit of cream comes out as it dries out. I like it - will certainly use it a gift item for upcoming birthdays...

    White Rabbit

    This scent's interesting - at first I smelled grass & powder out of the bottle. As I wore it the grass/powder mix turned into a soft suggestion of what my husband would call Kleenex & spun sugar. Some brands of Kleenex have a bit of fragrance that resembles linen sheets - White Rabbit is close to that. Then I thought: Kleenex, paper, clean paper with spun sugar - where did I smell that? Wait, that's cotton candy - Real Cotton Candy! When your right next to cotton candy you barely smell a thing until you take a big whiff while it's being made. White Rabbit had that impression on me. The dryout is nice - powdery soft & fades into nothing after the party's over. It's pleasant, it's a keeper.

    Two, Five & Seven

    I agree with Kittyflop regarding Two,Five,Seven- fresh rose garden. As it continues to dry out it seems to mimic the actual life of some roses: growth, bloom, cut for a bouquet, enfleuraged & finally decanted for linens or a brooch. Wearing this ended up becoming too heady on me, but I can think of a million uses for it otherwise. I can see this as a candle, lightly on a silk rose arrangement and even in a rose lasse if prepared correctly. Mmmm, yogurt milkshake... And yes, overall lovely.

    Block Buster

    This one is fascinating! Earthy Red Hots!! My husband & I figured we found cinnamon, vanilla & balsam peru to add that sugary, almost caramely character. Actually, he went into a ten-minute dialogue about it - pretty much saying it smells good on me for going out with friends. The cinnamon is dominant throughout the wet, worn & dry-out stage, but it's fun - I enjoy it!

    Salomé

    Yeppir, I also got almonds with Salome - that and powdery carnation while wearing it. The almondy or amaretto note immediately faded while the powderly note remained for awhile - reminds me of older bath salts from the 50's - heady, yet soft. Salome is not for me, but it does remind me of antique bath & beauty containers.

    Eve

    Bought this imp with a set on Ebay. Didn't think much of it when I sniffed the imp other than something vaguely familiar. The girls at work thought it reminded them of something when they were young - really young. After I applied it to my skin & the smell grew into a heady, cloying rose. It personally brought back memories of mean girls in elementary school. Then I remembered - it's Tinkerbell!! Back in the early eighties Tinkerbell was sold as a kind of "My First Perfume" for girlsm maybe it's still around. We used to pour a little bit of Tinkerbell on our dollies heads - but then we found out it's lasting qualities 20-25 years later. Very strong. Eve is just like this.

    O

    I bought this imp with several imps in a set on Ebay. Glad I bought it since I usually don't buy scents with honey, but O helped me recosider. In the imp I smelled honeysuckle in the foreground & lilly of the valley in the background - all like a Fresh rosebush, floral sweet but not foody. On my skin all the florals moved to the background & became powdery, round and slightly wooden. In the front the honey stayed, but smelled more like lit beeswax candles - warm & comforting. The dryout became the smell of honeydust - overall quite sexy. This would make a great massage oil and I know a few kinky but loving couples who would love this! --Kasee
