    Tushnamatay

    This smells light and musky/powdery to me, reminds me a bit of Ivanushka.

    Marguerite

    Sadly, the ylang-ylang and myrrh combo goes alkaline green powder on me.

    The Maltese Cross of Sanctus Germanus

    This goes very sharp on me, sort of an alkaline/lily vibe. I think it might be the agarwood or more likely the ambergris.

    Mead Moon

    Honey and booze = sweet powder on me.

    agent provocateur

    Wanton! Wanton! It's rose/patchouli love. Rakshasa is similar but heavier on the patchouli to my nose.

    Pickled Imp

    I don't have much in the way of new things to say about Pickled Imp, but I LOVE it - it reminds me a bit of Villainess' Ginger Snapped products, and the vanilla doesn't hate me. I will be procuring a bottle.

    Thirteen (13): June 2008

    Chalk it up to a strange combination of misfiring nose and wonky chemistry, but this just smells like chemicals to me. So odd!

    Refreshing *and* relaxing?

    The Coil!

    The Torture Queen

    I love this - it reminds me a bit of Phoenix Steamworks, minus the beeswax. The drydown is superb on me - sort of a sparkling, ginger ale vibe (though obv. there is no ginger here.) Want a bottle!

    Inez

    I really dislike this when wet - it's nutty in a gross way and alkaline. But then it dries and becomes a gorgeous amber/musk blend, with a soft vanilla emerging after a time. To my nose it's a warmer, feminine companion to Mort de Cesar.

    Marcilla

    This would be so good on me if not for that one note. Clearly, it is time for me to accept that I cannot wear lily.

    Parthenope

    Soapy jasmine funk hell. I had to try it, but jasmine is a death note for me, and Parthenope is, unfortunately, no exception.

    Clémence

    wet: mmm, spices! dry: everything! The carnation is a bit powdery, but otherwise I'm really digging Clémence. The patchouli is the kind that likes me, and I love the spices. Can't quite pick out the tea note, but that is okay. Really lovely.

    Marianne

    I recognize the lotus root from Silence - neat! This dries down to a very nice red musk and lotus root blend on me. I will test it some more to see if I can coax out some of the other notes.

    Eisheth Zenunim

    This reminds me of Faiza when wet, which seems odd to me since they don't really share any notes - except maybe honey. I love the light, fruity scent of the peach, but something in here becomes acrid when dry. I will try this again to be sure, but I don't think it's a keeper for me. So pretty and light, though!
