    Jacob's Ladder

    Holy cow. Well, first of all, with those ingredients HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG. I have come to realize I am an amber girl. Amber is my friend. And Jacobs Ladder is like warm glowing amber and happiness in a bottle. This is AMAZING. Definitely in my top 10, if not top 5. This scent hugs you...I don't know how else to describe it.

    Fallen

    This one was LIGHT at first. To the point to where I had to really slather to smell anything. Once on it transformed and got quite heavy...so my advice...let it settle before thinking you need to put more on. It'll get there I had to add this to my "favorites' list because its LOVELY. I think I smell amber and violets. Its flowery and golden...perfect combo. Clean and sophisticated. A winner!

    Dove's Heart

    I was dying to try this one. Who doesn't need peace and healing in their lives? I had to try this on and wear it a few times before I felt comfortable writing a review just because I wanted to make sure before I wrote anything. Unfortunately, Dove's Heart doesn't work on me. It's straight up Lavender, which is OK...but one me it sometimes times on a baby's diaper smell, which it has here. I think I smell rose in there too...which counters the lavender a tad. But overall this isn't the best for me. I'm still keeping the imp to wear for spiritual/healing purposes only. But as a scent, it's a no

    Glitter

    Glitter makes me sad <---me sad....because I only have an almost empty sniffie and NEED A BOTTLE. This is amazing!! Everything I could ever want in a fragrance, right down to the lovely name It's sweet, clean, and fun and flirty. Id tell you more if I was able to put some more on but I am hoarding the few drops I have remaining until I am able to get my hands on more....

    Old Scratch

    Along with Wilde, Old Scratch has been in my "to try" baggie since the beginning. I guess the name didn't appeal to me, and I think I opened the imp a few times to take a sniff and didn't care for it. Since I gave Wilde a try tonight and wound up liking him, I decided to try poor Old Scratch as well. He didn't do as well. I got a hot, bitter, sharp smell. Which is odd because judging from the ingredients listed I should like it...must be the patchouli (which is hit or miss with me) I don't get the "gender neutral" feeling from it either. It doesn't smell like it could be cologne, like Wilde, or even Casanova did. This still seemed like perfume to me. Overall I didn't like poor Old Scratch. Too bitter for my taste. It also made me a little bit nauseous :/ Off to the swaps...

    Wilde

    Wilde has been in my "to try" baggie since the very beginning but I kept tossing his aside because I could tell he was going to be more of a "guy's perfume". Tonight I decided to give him a try and am glad I did. Wow...sure it's more cologne than perfume but it's wonderful. Id definitely wear this. If you like clean, fresh, crisp scents...Wilde is for you. Gals, don't stay away...give him a try. Trust me!

    Dragon's Hide

    I had one bad "dragon" experience and just figured I probably wouldn't do well with any part of the creature. Then Dragon's Milk found me and became one of my favorite BPALs...so I was curious to give the hide a try. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be. It got very, well, soap-like. It also had an "off" smell I can't describe. So I'll be sticking with the milk and swapping the hide

    Budding Moon

    Wow, this one is quite lovely. It smells like light juicy wet fruit. I wish I had more than an almost empty sniffie...need to find an imp

    Cathode

    Well, I'm not sure how I feel about wearing something that is described as "negatively charged". But superstitions aside... Here is another one that went on smelling aquatic to me (third one I pulled tonight, oddly enough). But then it turned into spearmint gum. Because I'm superstitious I probably wont be keeping this one though

    Smut

    This is one of the darkest oils I've seen so far. It's a very heavy and strong smell. I'm not sure what it is about it but I am drawn to it. I like it and yet I don't. So I'm keeping the imp, even though I don't see myself wearing this that much (I prefer the softer smells)

    The Black Tower

    I smell cigarette smoke. Once i smell that, it's all over. To me this is spicy smoke :/

    Ozymandias

    This one smelled like sea air to me. Could be gender neutral in my opinion although it might have a somewhat flowery smell in the background that some men might not like. Very clean and fresh. Edited to add: LOL my nose must be way off tonight because I just read the description and it's supposed to be desert air...I smelled the sea And earlier I didn't smell the popcorn in Shill. I might need to give my nose a break

    Shill

    Wow. I didn't smell popcorn at all. To me Shill was cold cocoa. Kind of like Monsterbait Underpants but missing one of the ingredients.

    Languor

    All I smell is a spicy rose. I am a big fan of the rose scent, but this one wasnt that great on me.

    Tenochtitlan

    For the first few minutes this scent is amazing. Has the amber I love. The warmth. But then a strange spice takes over and I don't do well with spiciness. It almost smells like cinnamon. I like it enough to keep the imp, but don't love it enough to want a bigger bottle.

    Tempest

    Wow. This one is amazing. The first real aquatic-smelling one I've come across. Back when I was little there was some air freshener or perfume, I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was called "Sea Foam Green" and it smelled fantastic. That's what this reminds me of.

    Gaueko

    Going by the description I wasn't sure I was going to like this one. I was pleasantly surprised It's a nice, pleasant, warm scent. I dont smell lavender but can smell the sandalwood. Mo tobacco smell either, which for me is a good thing. It's a deep, wintery scent.

    Numb

    This took on a weird, rubbing alcohol type smell on me. It did have a slight baby powder edge to it. Not a favorite

    Medea

    In the bottle it smelled very sharp. I thought it wouldn't be nice to me. Once applied it morphed into a very pleasant smelling ambery golden smell, with a slight spice thrown in. Nice

    Snake Charmer

    I'm starting to become familiar with what scents work for me and amber is definitely one of them. This is one of the most incredible oils I've smelled so far. It's got a great uniqueness to it, has a perfect throw and the complexity of the blend is amazing. Teeny tiny amount of spice layered over wonderful golden amber.

    Temple of Dreams

    I really wanted to like this. All I smelled was lavender. The entire time. And straight lavender gets a weird baby diaper smell on me. If only some other scent balanced it off...

    Milk Moon 2005

    This one is quite lovely. The mention of Honey got me nervous as that note usually smells like sweat on me, but this doesn't have enough in it to turn "sweaty". I smell a combination of O (which I dont care for...that must be the honey part I smell), MB Underpants and something rosy. It's a creamy smell. I dont like it enough to try to find a bottle, but will definitely keep my imp

    Mouse's Long and Sad Tale

    This one is outstanding. It's sweet, yet not. Spicy, yet not. Nothing jumps out at you. It turns a tad soapy but it works! I keep smelling my wrist and getting something different and wonderful. I love it

    London

    The first 5 minutes of London had me shaking my head thinking it was a "off to the swap pile" imp. But then it transformed into a lovely rosy garden. I'm glad I gave London a chance and didn't wash it off. It needs time to settle.
