    Metal Rabbit

    I really, really liked this. Very fresh and bright and citrusy with a lot of throw. Unfortunately, it lasted about three hours and poof! Gone without a trace. It is lovely, though, and I think it would make for a nice room spray.

    Time Does Not Bring Relief

    This was all powder and violet for me, even in the imp. None of the other notes surfaced and it faded very quickly. I passed this one on to my sister, who loves it.

    Van Van

    When I first tried this it reminded me strangely of opium. Now it's almost purely baby powder, swirling with lemon and something green. It's comforting. I'm surprised I like this as much as I do.

    Mary Read

    Oh, I love this. A very light aquatic, dabbled with leather and salt and patchouli. It's not as boozy as I was expecting; it's not boozy at all, in fact. I must get a bottle when I can.

    Midnight Kiss

    Eternal desire, unquenchable passion: red musk, cocoa absolute, Nepalese amber, red sandalwood, aged patchouli, nicotiana, and blood wine. First sniff: Sweet, light chocolate. Wet: All I can think to describe it is "cherry cola." It sort of reminds me of Dr. Pepper, only sweeter. Incredible throw. Drydown: Much softer, but still very sweet. I can smell the chocolate again and what I think must be sandalwood. I really like this, but I'm not sure if it's really me. It might just take some getting used to.

    The Red Queen

    When sniffed from the imp, this reminded me of cherry-flavored cough syrup. Not the best first impression. But on, it smells just like candy. After a few minutes I can smell the wood, but the candy is still at the forefront. I don't really think of cherries when I'm wearing this, just candy. And now my sweet tooth is aching.

    The Black Tower

    In the imp, this was very fruity and I could pick out the red wine easily enough. On my skin, it just didn't work. I couldn't tell what exactly I was smelling, but it wasn't pleasant and it vaguely reminded me of something burning. After a couple of hours it's faded to powdery florals. I'm afraid I won't be keeping this one.

    Undertow

    Undertow is extremely sweet with some underlying mint. It's a very green scent. It makes me think "dark and murky," but not necessarily aquatic. I don't believe I'll be wearing this again, unfortunately, as it's given me a headache. I had high expectations but, sadly, it's just not for me.

    Monster Bait: Ventriloquist Dummy

    I really, really wanted to like this. At first all I could detect was wood ... and patchouli, so strong that my eyes began to water. After some time it's died down, and now I catch a whiff of something nutty, presumably the hazelnut, and it's getting sweeter. This isn't remotely fruity on me, just sickly sweet. Perhaps it'll grow on me, but right now I can't imagine wearing this again.

    Grog

    When first applied, all I get is butterscotch. Pure, sweet butterscotch. After a minute the rum comes through and it becomes a very strong, boozy scent. I can actually feel an ache stirring in the back of my head now which, though not something I'm thrilled about, adds to the effect, I suppose.

    Masquerade

    I could definitely smell patchouli and orange blossom when I applied this, but it quickly faded to patchouli and baby powder. It's nice, though. I prefer it once I've been wearing it for a while, but I'm a fan of powdery scents.

    Absinthe

    At first this was far too minty for my taste, but after a while the mint faded and it became much more pleasant. I'm not familiar with most of the notes so I don't know what I'm smelling exactly, though I can detect a hint of lemon. Not something I'd wear often, but I'll hang onto the imp for days when I'm lounging about the house.

    Salomé

    I received a frimp of Salomé with my last order, and it really surprised me. This isn't something I would have thought to pick out for myself. I think I smell jasmine more than anything else in this. It's very spicy and green. There's something in the background, perhaps the oakmoss, that reminds me of dirt. My mother got a whiff and thought she could smell patchouli. But the jasmine rides to the top and stays strong until the scent fades altogether. This is very perfumey, as well, more so than the other oils I've tried. And as someone who loves almond scents, I never noticed any almond in Salomé. I'm on the fence about this one, but right now I'm enjoying it.

    Dorian

    Sweet tea with lemon. I adore this.

    Miskatonic University

    The scent of Irish coffee, dusty tomes and polished oakwood halls. This smelled very creamy in the imp but morphed drastically once on my skin. In a way I find it comforting. It stirs up images of musty old houses, antiques, libraries full of ancient books; stale coffee and dust. I like it, but not enough to wear, I'm afraid. I believe it would make a wonderful room fragrance.
