    Pirate Moon

    I get the same cologne-y smell from this that I get from most aquactic blends, and I love it! I can reallty smell the extra kick of lime, and that's what makes this scent really evocative for me.

    Swan Maiden

    I was just a wee bit worried that this would be a thin white floral, but it's a lovely lush floral, and I'm so glad I went for a bottle! I can't really pick out the notes, but I can smell definitely smell gardenia. This the the perfect full-bodied white floral and I'm delighted with it.

    Beaver Moon 2007

    Oooh, this is just what I hoped for, strawberry cheesecake! I love it!

    Pinched With Four Aces

    Based on the description I should not like this at all, but I've just put some on my wrist and it's very wearable. The tobacco is way, way in the background but adds an extra something that makes this really complex and wonderful. It's not really "me", but I'm glad that I got to try it.

    Snow-Flakes

    In the bottle, I smell Snow White+mint. Once it is applied and dried down it's just as several others have described it, a colder, slightly less creamy Snow White. Lovely!

    Selkie

    Yowza, this is pretty. Very soft and wearable. I'm so glad I have a bottle!

    Empyreal Mist

    I was lucky to get a frimp of this with a lab order just before it was discontinued. It's lovely--I can definitely see why it was disconned along with Neo Tokyo, because there's an airy note in common. Empyreal Mist is green and light and very pretty.

    Midway

    For some reason I seem to mostly get the saltiness from Midway. I actually tried one of the original bottles, and then one of the re-issued bottles because I thought that maybe the first one had aged funny and somehow amped the salty note, but I guess that it was just me. Drat!

    Smut

    Smut is exactly what it says on the tin: swarthy, smutty musk! All I smelled when I tried it was strong, dark musk. Almost dirty, but in the good way. Not at all for me (which I should have been able to figure out from the description) but if you think you'll like it based on the description, you're probably right.

    Sugar Skull

    I've tried both Sugar Skull 2005 and 2006, but I don't think that I could detect too much of a difference between them. I am a freak who can't walk past the brown sugar in a supermarket, so naturally I love Sugar Skull. It's that same brown sugary smell with an extra boozy edge.

    Gluttony

    This was just too strong and too sweet for me, but that's why it evokes gluttony perfectly!

    Jailbait

    Jailbait is just cool. The topnote is bubblegum and candy, and then there is a lightish floral that peeks through after the drydown. Probably not something for everyday, but well worth having an imp lying around.

    Maiden

    Maiden is light, clean carnation with a hint of tea. If the smell was a color it would be white, if that makes any sense at all. I mixed about an imp's worth with some purified water in a spray bottle and used it as a linen spray, which was gorgeous. (I'm probably lucky that the proportions worked out okay and I didn't end up with oil-stained sheets, but the scent was perfect!)

    Creepy

    I don't really smell the coconut rum, but otherwise this smells exactly like the description. Yummy caramel apple. This would be AMAZING as a room scent.

    Blood Pearl

    I love Black Pearl, so I'm a bit biased, but Blood Pearl is AMAZING on my husband. I put some in a little roller-top bottle for him to make it easy to apply (he once spilled nearly an entire bottle of Black Forest, so I'm a bit wary). It's like Black Pearl but just a little bit spicier or muskier, very sexy.
