    Jezebel

    At first, all honey. Then the orange starts to come out and I think, wow I really like this. Only the slightest hint of rose, luckily. But the all of a sudden, BAM! Baby powder. Off to swaps.

    Intrigue

    This is an interesting one. At first it's all woods, but as it dries the fig comes out and sweetens it. Not getting any of the cocoa. I do like it, though I doubt I'll get a bottle. I am glad I got to try the imp.

    The Wild Men of Jezirat al Tennyn

    At first I thought that this was going to end up being too masculine for me and that once again another oil was going to huby. But then I was pleasantly surprised! The vanilla and amber came out and sweetened it. I wish it stayed spicier longer, but it could be that I'm trying it on the top of my arm instead of my wrists. Now I'm going to go wash off the scent I tried before and I'm going to reapply it on my wrists. Either way though, it's quite nice and I'm glad I picked up a bottle. (yes, that was the most useless review ever LOL)

    Iambe

    Wow, something with rose in it that doesn't immediately go old lady on me. At first it's mostly warm gardenias but as it dries, I catch a hint of the tea and perhaps amber? I'm not getting much of the patchouli or rose (thank god). This is a very warm seductive floral. I think I really like it and I will definately be keeping my imps of it. Not sure on a bottle yet.

    Smut

    Very sweet sugar, musk and something a bit odd. Maybe it's the booze notes? Not sure if I like this one. It's nice but with something a bit off? I'll try it again because I really want to like this one.

    Tezcatlipoca

    Wet: Wow, COCOA with a hint of incense. Not sure about this one. Drying: the leather is coming out with a hint of the flowers. Not much of the patchouli. This is starting to remind me of a smoking room: deep, rich, slightly sweet but very good pipe tobacco and leather. Not sure if I would wear this, I'll try it again, but I'm defaintely going to have hubby try this one!

    Mock Turtles Lessons

    In the bottle: Yummy yummy appletinis, which happens to be my favorite drink right now. Wet: sweet (not tart) apples and aquatic flowers. As it dries the apple scent fades and it is mainly the beautiful aquatic flowers with a very very faint hint of mint perhaps. The lime doesn't really come out, which is actually ok even though I was hoping for it. This ended up perfect the way it is. It reminds me of something of when I was younger. Something I can't quite remember. It evokes a mix of excitement, longing, and a bit of sadness and regret. I absolutely LOVE this and I am so glad I took a chance to get a bottle. It's not something I normally would've tried but decided to take a chance. I am soooo glad it did.

    Embalming Fluid

    YES! As soon as I smelled it, that's exactly what I thought of. I used to wear the green tea perfume all the time and loved it. As it dries it becomes less sharp, but doesn't morph all that much. Not really getting any of the musk, mostly green tea with a hint of aloe and lemon. Will be great during the summer!

    Jazz Funeral

    Wet: Have no idea. LOL. Very strong. As it dries it gets that stale perfume smell I hate. After a few minutes i can pick up a very slight hint of the bay rum with magnolia and dirt. I think that magnolia doesn't like me. I'm getting that weird stale, cheap perfume smell again. Oh well, off to swaps. ETA: Hubby tried it and it smells awesome one him. He amps the bay rum and moss and it really smells wonderful. Keeping the imp for him.

    Umbra

    Hubby tried this (I knew right awayit would be better for him, lol). At first it smell like the rain incense we used to have. yum! As it dried it became darker and smokier. I love the cedarwood I can smell and the patchouli is just right. The cinnamon is very faint, but it's a truer cinnamon as opposed to the sweet candy cinnamon. It's very nice on him, I have a feeling I'll be sniffing him for the rest of the night.

    This one sounded so good, but unfortunately my skin makes it smell like a bad, stale drugstore rose perfume.

    Szepasszony

    This just smells like a pretty, but average perfume on me. It is definately fresh and airy, but not something I would ever really wear. Oh well, my 2 imps are off to swaps!

    Blood Pearl

    Waahhhh, where is my coconut??? At first it's just strong and slightly sharp orris. As it dries the musk comes out and softnens it, but still no coconut. I think this would work better for hubby, though if I can find some single note coconut to layer this with, then I think I would love it for myself.

    Black Lily

    I have found that most florals do not love me. For example, I had expected to love roses and hate lillies but I've found it's just the opposite. This is just a beautiful scent. I would say that it strikes me more of an elegant scent, but thankfully, not an old lady one. At first it seems to be a fresher lily, but as it dries it becomes a creamier, more complex lily scent. I really like it. I'm going to try it a few more times, but it might end up on my bottle list.
