    Purple Phoenix

    I just wanted to say this is still one of my absolute favorites! It is so much fun to smell like delicious ripe purple grapes in the middle of winter! It just automatically lifts my mood, puts a big smile on my face.

    Where is this scent?

    I got Sheol as an imp's ear freebie with my last order and I just love it. It's musky and spicy but not too intense. More of a nighttime feeling but not too heavy for daytime. Makes me think of bellydancing I would love to know what's in it but I can't find it anywhere though I searched both the Lab and the Forum. Can someone direct me if it has already been described elsewhere on these boards? Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. Hikaru

    Purple Phoenix

    I absolutely love the complexity of this scent! Fruity and floral, dark and light, happy and sad, and OH SO PURPLE!!!! My kids are running around smelling like it too since they insisted on having a dab as soon as I opened the bottle. A winner. You should add it to the permanent selection of scents. I keep sticking my nose down the front of my shirt to get another whiff....irresistable!

    The Dormouse

    On me Dormouse is citrusy and a bit floral. You'd never know it's tea....LOL but I know. I really love tea based scents and this one is much sweeter than Neo-Tokyo, which I tend to wear when I want mental clarity. This one wakes me up too, but with softer edges. I got the 5 ml. and I'm so glad I did...I know I'll be using this one up!!

    Obeah

    I got this as a freebie and while it may not be an absolute favorite, I definitely get a dark, strong, vibe from it. Slightly-rotten orange with patchouli and something musky. Warm and a little scary. I agree with the person earlier who said it is a "Don' t f***with me" scent. The citrus was quite strong at the beginning, now a few hours later all that remains is the warm residue. A hint of secret strength.

    Bluebeard

    Maybe I'm just weird. I am female and I like wearing this and other masculine scents. The violet has come through after 15-20 minutes but my first impression was lemon air-freshener covering up cigarettes. Like hiding a dark secret. I dont really get **angry** from this one but it certainly is assertive! Nothing wrong with that. I like it. Gonna wear it to my kid's soccer practice this afternoon and confuse all the other Soccer Moms, LOL.

    What scents are masculine? Gender-neutral?

    I just wanted to share, I'm wearing Bluebeard and while I think it could be considered masculine...well tough noogies I like it. I wish I could get my DH interested in wearing something but his own natural skin isn't bad at all <g> and will have to suffice.

    Vice

    A lot of the reviews have not been so positive but I really like this one. It's sweet but naughty at the same time...sort of a slightly-burned chocolate chip cookie. I think the fruit notes add just enough darkness to balance the sweetness.

    De Sade

    I am a woman who enjoys more "masculine" scents. This one is right up my alley. Not pretty, just naughty enough to be fun. Deep, earthy and unexpected. Strong enough for a man but made for a woman, LOL.

    Hymn

    I got this as an extra imp in my last order. It's clean and sort of woodsy/musky at the same time. It definitely has a special, holy feel to it and would be a lovely anointing oil for a ritual. For some reason, I smell wood, not the florals, but there is just enough lightness in it to cheer my spirits. the word "uplifting" comes to mind.

    Dublin

    This was perfect for Imbolc...it evokes the goddess Brighid and all things Irish. Woodsy and fresh, earthy and strong, not fluffy but not too masculine. A nice, balanced daytime scent that's dark enough to carry over into the evening.

    Glasgow

    The blackberries smell so good, I wanted to take a big bite out of my arm. Yum. I've never been to Glasgow..this is a bit brighter, happier, less sort of misty and magical than I imagine that city, but a very nice daytime scent. Like someone else mentioned, it didn't last too long on me and I had to add more mid-day.

    O

    I don't know if I'll be ordering a big bottle of this one but I do like it. It's sweet and yet has a note of something naughty...I do like things that smell as if they're meant to be licked off!!

    Snake Oil

    Very nice and unique. It actually reminded me of High John the Conqueror, powerful and positive with that hint of spicy sweetness. I'd almost put it in the Voodoo Blends rather than Love Potions. It definitely feels magical.

    Undertow

    I totally agree about the apple, before I read the description I was trying to figure out what fruit was in it. The mint made my nose itch. It's very light, and the juniper gives it something really different and unexpected. I do like Undertow but I don't really associate this smell with water. Nice for daytime, because it's so light. But it's such an unusual smell that people around you might be sniffing and trying to figure out what it is!
