    The Wretched Rose Window

    In the bottle I smell baby powder This scent is very dark violet. I smell a hint of rose but it is surprisingly not overpowering on me. It smells very soap and very strong. As it dries the scent of violet becomes stronger. 20 minutes later I am still smelling violets. If you like violet, this is for you. If you like old lady soap, this is for you.

    Phobos

    All I can imagine when I smell this scent is washing my kitchen floor while chewing on lemon heads. It's clean but the lemon notes over power all the other notes in the scent. I'll probably diffuse this one.

    Summoning Stone Play Structure

    I love this scent.. In the bottle its Fresh cut grass. Reminds me of spring or a summer night. On - It has a sweet floral that isn't overpowering to the senses. Its sweet sophisticated and clean. Dry - As it dries you can smell hints of grass. You can smell the hints of clover and vague incense. Some may find it similar to laundry detergent. That is the only con!

    Hetairae

    The sublimely beautiful, fiercely independent, impeccably cultured, fascinatingly worldly and witty courtesans of ancient Greece. A seductive and dazzling blend of golden honey, fiery patchouli, sweet fig and clove, and a blushing touch of ylang ylang. Wet - golden honey with hints of sweet fig. It smells very sweet and clean. A little soap which is a good thing. On Skin - The patchouli is really good i ntheis scent. Smells very earthy. Its balanced out by the ylang ylang. Dry - sweeter with the sweet fig overpowering. This is a good scent just a little too sweet for me. Smells great though.

    Malice

    Wet- The red patchouli is strong but sweet. On Skin - Myrrh and hints of Ylang Ylang soften the patchouli. The resins are very heavy. Its smoky with some sweetness. Very nice scent but as it dries the myrrh becomes stronger. Perfect for someone who likes smoky resin scents.

    Libertine

    Wet - In the bottle I get Chamomile and violet and a little musk and bergamot. On Skin - I get even more of the floral scents. It reminds me of an old antique shop. Old vials of rosewater. A very feminine scent. Dry - The violet is overpowering on my skin. This usually happens with my skin type. Wish the sandalwood was stronger. If you like florals, this is the scent for you. Particularly violet and rose. Out of all the notes listed the rosewood and chamomile notes are the strongest on wet. As it dries the violet seems to overpower. 15 minutes later the Musk is strong. Its a nice scent just not my favorite. Red Sandalwood is the prime base note. Overall this scent is very mild and soft. All the notes are very well blended. This has three notes in it that do not work for me; Rose, Violet and Musk. All three are very mild and harmonize well together.

    Juke Joint

    A bawdy, gleefully wicked and unruly scent: Kentucky Bourbon, sugar and a sprig of mint. Wet - Sweet Mint On skin - Very Sweet Sugar at first with subtle hints of mint. Smells very sweet and clean Dry - The drier it gets the more bourbon I smell. Reminds me off southern sweet tea. A little too sweet for me. If you like sugar than this scent is for you.

    Salomé

    Gaueko

    Wet - Lavender On Skin - The Lavender is sweeter. The Nag Champa and Blackened sandle wood come out as it dries. The drier it gets the smokier it becomes. There are still some sweet notes but I think that is just my skin chemistry. A nice scent but not my favorite.

    Al-Shairan

    The enemy of God, also named Iblis, He Who Despaired of the Mercy of God. Al-Shairan is the leader of the Jinn, a tempter who whispers false suggestions to men enticing them into evil and perfidious acts, and is the sworn enemy of all of Adam’s children. His scent is fiery, bright and thick with sweet sinfulness: clove, peach and orange with cinnamon, patchouli and dark incense notes. Wet - cinnamon, clove and orange with dark undertones On Skin - As the spicy notes calm down the peach comes out giving a sweetness too the scent. Dry on Skin - I can barely smell any patchouli. Like most scents on my skin, the sweetness can be a little overpowering and almost floral. This is a little too sweet for me but if you are into sweet fruity/spicy scents this is the one for you.

    Umbra

    The deepest, darkest point in a shadow; the area contained within the shadow of an eclipse. East African black patchouli, cedarwood, vetiver and a dribble of cinnamon. Wet - Cinnamon, verys sweet with hints of patchouli. On Skin - I still smell the sweet cinnamon which is from the vetiver. Dry - as it dries the smokiness of the patchouli balances out the sweetness of the vetiver. It isn't as complex as I would have liked. Its is a good scent but not great enough to purchase a bottle. 3 out of 5 stars

    No. 93 Engine

    Wet - I smell the balsam of Peru and benzoin. Skin - Ummm I love the way it smells on my skin. Sweet lemon, galbanum, hyssop. Dry - The sweetness relaxes and it becomes woodsy with notes of frankincense and white sage. Highly recommend this one!

    Perversion

    The perfect scent to wear to your next bondage ball, dungeon adventure or sojourn to your favorite pleasure dome. Smoky rum and black tobacco with a whisper of steamy leather with a splash of crystalline chardonnay, layered over a sensual, sweet, and deceptively magnetic base of tonka. Wet- Sweet slightly smoky. On Skin - The scent gets sweeter on my skin. this happens with most scents so I try not to purchase scents that are sweet already but this one smells great. As it dries the layers of tobacco come out and it becomes almost fruity. I dont smell the leather, but the sweetness may be the chardonnay? This is for someone who enjoys very sweets scents.

    Black Annis

    Black Annis' perfume is a mixture of damp cave lichen and oak leaf with a hint of vetiver, civet and anise. Wet- The anise is strong. The only scent I smell On Skin - the anise dries and becomes sweeter. It smells like licorice candy. As it dries the civet musk comes out, making the anise scent subtle. There are subtle woodsy scents that I enjoy. It settle very nicely. I may purchase this one.

    ARAÑA This is araña. That's spider in Spanish. She's big and has one thousand million babies. Vanilla-infused agarwood, oak bark, and Laotian benzoin. Wet - in the bottle this scent smells like chocolate. It must the vanillas infused agar-wood. On Skin - hints of vanilla and benzoin. I still smell the chocolate in this. As it dries the oak bark comes out still with hints of vanilla. This scent is for anyone who likes sweets scents, particularly vanilla.

    Humpback Whale

    HUMPBACK WHALE Blue peppermint, sea buckthorn berry, white myrrh, ambergris accord, and tobacco leaf. Wet - Blue Peppermint and some buckthorn berry. On skin - peppermint, the ambergris takes over. I love ambergris. Dry - Ambergris with slight peppermint notes. As it dries the berry notes are back and it smells a little like soap. This isn't a bad scent for me. It only gets four stars because I think the mint is a little overpowering. This scent is for someone who likes Mint and Ambergris. It has a clean scent and as it dries the more I like it. It's not my favorite but definitely worth an imp sample. 10 minutes later this scent is amazing. I think I need to let it sit for a while and retest. Definitely a summer scent!

    Lolita

    Wet - Lemon Verbana, Orange Blossom Dry - Lemon Lemon and more Lemon Sits - it gets sweeter, the orange comes out more. - Smells a little like lemon pledge cleaner. 10 minutes the Heliotrope comes out giving a sweet floral scent on my left wrist however the honeysuckle came out. If you like sweet lemon scents this is the one for you. For me it's back to the imp box for this one.

    Depraved

    In the bottle it smells sweet, fruity apricots. Wet it has a very strong patchouli smell. Almost dirt like. Dry- the apricot comes through again softens the scent. the patchouli may still be a little overpowering. Would recommend for anyone who loves a dark smelling patchouli.
