A salacious, lecherous, leering scent - dirty and dark, slapped with a wet sweetness. Earthy black patchouli swelling with apricot.
I love this scent. I actually wore it by accident; I opened the imp and got some on my fingers in the process. I was initiallyl hesitant about it because I do NOT like patchouli... it makes me nauseous. But after sniffing this for a bit, I realized my past encounters with patchouli were when it was being used to cover up pot smoke - and I'm allergic to pot.
So, I sniffed this for a while on my fingers, loving the earth and apricot and the way they fuzed, and decided to take it for a spin today. I actually got decent throw! My skin tends to eat scents for breakfast, but this one was still noticeable after 6 hours or so.
I truly love the earthy smell to this, and have discovered I tentatively like patchouli. The apricot sweetened it all up, but not too much... I didn't get attacked by my friend's sweet-toothed dog, at least!
Definite wear again, maybe get more.

I absolutely love this scent. It smells like an orchard at night on me, and is perfect for warm weather. I picture a couple meeting in the orchard, gettin' dirty, and laying together afterward, just breathing, before they have to get dressed and go to their separate houses.
Sadly, I lost my imp, so I must order a bottle. Oh darn. -
Interesting thread... thanks for bringing it back up.

I wasn't sure about this one, since the one experience I've had with Dragon's Blood gave me a headache. Straight from the imp, though, I really liked this. I decided to wear it to Pagan Pride Day, since it was all outside and none of these scents were likely to get me stung by bees.
On me, it was dark and smoky and lovely. Unfortunately, it tended to fade fast, and I had to reapply several times during the day. Maybe I'll try figuring out how to layer it so it has more throw. In any case, I really liked it, and I might spring for a bottle. I certainly won't be giving this one away until I have more.

Eat Me has, unfortunately, underwhelmed me. It's almost too sweet, even on drydown. Could be the currants... I don't really smell the cakes. It seems to have a lot of throw, though that's not unusual for my skin. I'm afraid I'll have to wash it off before it gives me a headache. I wanted to love it... I'll hold on to it and see if I like it better later.
ETA: Silly me, forgetting about aging on skin. Now it smells like white cake and jellybeans, and while the overall impression is 'innocent', there's some sort of darkly playful undercurrent. Much, much better.
I want to wear this tomorrow, when I'll be out in public and can shock people with the name. *evil grin* Then again, considering where I'm going, some might take that as invitation, and I don't need that. I'll stick with what I had planned.

O
in Ars Amatoria
*whimper*
My imp of O got beheaded, so I figured, why not try it and save the bit of oil that was on the wand?
I found out why not. Nearly the instant I put it on, it went powdery. I blame the amber, I think. I'm unsure whether it will get annoying or not, but it's definitely not sexy or defiled.
Will edit when it's aged on my skin.

O and I are a bad match. I'll be finding someone to enable with this. Unfortunately, everyone I've tried it on so far has not liked it.

Yes, but for legal reasons, they may have to contraindicate everything.
I personally have never heard that mint was bad during pregnancy, but I'd recommend emailing the lab for specific ingredients, then asking a doctor or herbalist.
