    Titania

    This is pretty darn fruity in the imp, and it fades to ethereal sweetness the instant it touches my skin. Kinda soapy - not very, but I do smell that. I can't pick out any notes.

    Lear

    Pow! The cedar is definitely the strongest thing in here. I kind of smell sage, and I think it's okay. It's not setting off my allergies, at least, which is what I'd expect.

    The Mock Turtle's Lessons

    I smell some mint and aquatic stuff. I don't know why, but this smells off. Too chaotic, maybe. The green apple is too tart and the mint is just not right.

    Monster Bait: Underbed

    I hate how badly I always react to foody scents. This was by far the worst. The cocoa and cassia combined to make my stomach heave like crazy. I had to close the imp to keep from throwing up, and there's no way I'm letting it anywhere near my skin. *curses foody scents*

    Monster Bait: Closet

    This smells like blackberry yogurt. Seriously, I eat a lot of it, I know what it smells like. (Yogurt, not MB: Closet.) I'm very amused and slightly bemused, but foody scents all go to "burnt" on my skin and that's just ew.

    Black Moon

    Cucumber, with an undertone of rot. I swear, it smells like I rubbed cucumber melon lotion on a corpse or something. Some note in here really really hates me, and most of them are so obscure I have no hope of guessing which it is.

    Theodosius, The Legerdemain

    Ooh, yes. This is Dorian, but better. Stronger, with more throw and more attitude. I so need a bottle. I smell tea and vanilla, but not sickly sweet vanilla. No jasmine, though. I wish that was more prominent.

    Doc Constantine (2006)

    Sheer musk, cedar smoke, fir needle, black amber and leather. Mmm, fir and leather. This is really masculine, but I can still see girly little me wearing it. I really like leather. Like, a lot. I don't even know why. But I do and I love Doc Constantine.

    Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2006)

    Oh, yay! Red musk is love. The patchouli isn't too heavy, although I'll probably want to layer this with lighter things. The vanilla is present though not overwhelming. I don't smell any pomegranate or plum.

    Pulcinella & Teresina

    I don't smell much rose at all. I do smell what I suppose it teak and labdanum, because it's not cedar. It kind of makes my nose itch. Meh, I had higher hopes for this.

    Silence

    Tea and sandalwood! This is great! I smell a few hints of fruitiness, too. Although this is lovely, it's not very special to me, so I'll be passing it on to my mother, who may like it more.

    The Fox-Woman Kuzunoha Leaving Her Child

    Ooh, I smell tea! Some jasmine, too. It's weirdly powdery and it's making me sniffle. I'll let my mother test it because of the tea, but I have a feeling it will eventually wind up in the swaps.

    Iago

    Eurgh, dark and murky and pretty darn evil. Also, slightly nauseating. I almost always hate hate hate vetiver because it smells like a stagnant swamp or something. Eeew.

    Hell's Belle

    I smell citrus while it's in the imp, but the second it touches my skin, everything but the faintest hint of spice goes away. It's way too understated for me.

    Jolly Roger

    I definitely smell bay rum, I think. I don't quite know what it is but that is the only thing it really could be. I have no idea why, but I really do not like this. Ack.

    Twenty-One

    Dear god, all I smell is gin. Which, okay, a) not what I want to smell like and I'm an underage college student who lives in the same suite as the RA. One of the last things I need to smell like.

    Highwayman

    Vetiver and leather. So far, the gardenia hasn't shown its plastic-y self. The rose comes out a little; this is like a male version of Whip. I neither smell nor feel cinnamon. Unfortunately, the vetiver is too strong and ooky.

    Kunstkammer

    This smells kind of like I would expect the fruit in fruitcake to smell. It probably doesn't, but it looks like it ought to smell like Kunstkammer. It's pretty interesting but ultimately not for me.

    Tezcatlipoca

    I keep trying chocolately perfumes and I keep being... disappointed is too weak a word. Horrified/disgusted/nauseated is better. The cocoa smells absolutely scorched, and I'm afraid even to get it near my skin because if I do, I'll keep smelling it until I take a really long and really hot shower and it will make me sick.

    Omen

    This isn't as offensive as most earthy/musty scents, but I still don't like it. The juniper is lovely, though. It's not too sharp. Unfortunately, this isn't what I want to smell like.

    Dragon's Hide

    Flame-kissed, warm, smooth, and highly protective. Dragon’s blood, leather and a hint of smoke. Heh, as if I don't smell enough like leather whenever I wear my jacket... This does smell a lot like both leather and dragon's blood, but the smoke note actually burns a bit. I'll stick to layering other leather scents with plain old Dragon's Blood.

    Dragon's Milk

    In the imp, I definitely smell dragon's blood and vanilla. On my skin, not so much. Honey is a weird note on me; usually it makes scents just vanish. I can still smell a smidge of vanilla, but I am not really into vanilla.

    The King of Hearts

    Black cherry attack! This is strong enough when King of Hearts first hits my skin that I'm not feeling too optimistic. But it fades fast, leaving behind rosewood and lavender. I don't really smell any musk, though. I love red and white musk so much!!!

    Zombi

    This is awesome! It smells like crumbly old rose petals. I used to have dried roses in my room - every week, I bought myself roses, and they dried in their vase rather than rotting, and I saved the flowers, though not the stems. Unfortunately, they got old and yucky and I had to get rid of them.

    Ephemera

    I mostly smell chamomile. This is a really well-blended scent. I wouldn't have had even a guess as to what's in it without looking at the notes, and I can't really pick them out even though I know what I'm looking for.
