    Black Lotus

    Born in the shadows of a Temple to Set, this corrupted Egyptian scent evokes images of black pyramids, river demons, and bleak, deadly desert sands. Black lotus flower, amber, myrrh and sandalwood. This one's really sweet. In the bottle, wet, through drydown until it disappears--way too sweet. Too bad because I like the concept.

    Velvet

    I couldn't stand this one. There's a note in here that I really dislike. I think it's the chocolate. I've already swapped this one away.

    Moon Rose

    This is a lovely and light rose. Delicate and ethereal, youthful and very feminine. A bit powdery. Overall, a very pretty scent, but a bit too girly for me.

    Succubus

    This scent doesn't last long. While wet, it's sharp and very green. There's a brief period where I can actually smell some orange blossom. Unfortunately, that period is very brief. Afterwards, it's mostly neroli with a faint undertone of something vaguely plastic smelling. It would be perfect if I were a succubus with green plastic skin. But I'm not, so this isn't for me.

    The Coiled Serpent

    A potent yogic oil that stimulates the kundalini, provokes spiritual awakening, and releases the energy seated in your root chakra. I love this one. I suck at picking out scents, so I have no idea what's in here, but I would describe it as deep and spicy.

    Ulalume

    Faint aquatic note? I feel like I'm drowning in a swamp. Ack! I don't get any lilies at all. Possibly some faint cypress. I'm really bad at picking notes out. I agree with the previous reviewer who said it's "deep mossy wet wood." Ultimately, although it's not something I'd wear, I find the scent very interesting. Edit: Whoa, this suddenly morphed into a sweet swamp on me (but still no florals). I actually prefer the deep mossy swamp.
