    Leanan Sidhe

    When I read the description for this scent I knew I had to try it. I got it in a swap and oh, am I glad I did! Bottle: Soapy detergent. Wet on skin: Still soapy, but a fine, sophisticated Chanel soapy. Dry down: This scent is utterly lovely! It's floral, yes, but I can't pick out any specific notes. Perhaps that is because they all blend together so well. It just feels like a haze of loveliness around me. Maybe that's the Celtic mists? Leanan Sidhe is going to be a favorite of mine from now on.

    Tintagel

    The lovely Tintagel....this is a very special scent! In bottle: It smells like Christmas scented candles and ripe red fruit. Wet on Skin: The spice comes out as it dries. Drydown: The leather and wine are making themselves known. It's very warm. The wine and spice are taking me right back to the Weihnachtsmärkte (Christmas markets) in Germany. I am suddenly very nostalgic and craving Glühwein (mulled wine). In conclusion, Tintagel is very evocative and comforting. I am really going to enjoy this when autumn comes around!

    Casanova

    ...Who says librarians can’t be sexy? A rakish blend of leather, anise, lavender, bergamot and amber with tonka, lemon peel and lusty patchouli. Casanova starts out, both in the bottle and on the skin, as pure lavender to my nose. This is great because lavender is one of my favorite notes. When it dries down I sense the leather and tonka. This smells like a more masculine Shalimar. And yes, I do believe I'm picking up some incense as well! Very provocative and very nice! I could see wearing this with a tweedy suit.

    Hetairae

    I had such high hopes for this one. Being half Greek myself, I thought Hetairae would be the scent of some of my more glamorous ancestresses. And from the sound of the notes, it should have been perfect. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. I couldn't make out any of the notes. This scent was all one big "gothic-store-where-they-do-tattooing-and-piercing-in-the-back-room-you-know-what-I'm-talking-about" smell. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's just not for me.

    Alice

    This is a lovely scent! It starts out very spicy, which must be the carnation. Then it mellows out and the creamy milk and honey notes make themselves known. Innocent but not too innocent, as the spiciness tempers it nicely, and truly unique. Together with the bergamot it gives me the distinct impression of a Victorian tea party at which Earl Grey is served.
