    Eden

    By femmefatale,

    In the imp I smelled something sharp and...cherry?
    Wet, very strong icky almonds. I almost washed it off right then, but forced myself to wait and see.
    As it's drying down, the sandalwood and coconut comes out and the almond calms down. Makes me think of sitting at an outdoor rest. on the beach in the evening. Something I would wear when I want a summer scent, but with a sexy twist.
    I like it, though I will have to try it another couple times before deciding on a bottle.
     
    ETA:
    Tried it again and it's ok. I doubt I will get a bottle.

    New Orleans

    By femmefatale,

    Wow, pure honeysuckle in the bottle. And STRONG!
     
    Wet it was a very sweet, strong honeysuckle. Gave me a headache as well that went away as it dried. As it's drying down the jasmine comes out along with a touch of something. Maybe a bit of spice?
    Hubby really likes this one on me. I wil wear this again, though a little more lightly on the wrists, but more on the back of the knees etc to help keep away the headache reaction.
    Not sure if I will buy a bottle. Will have to try it a few more times.

    R'lyeh

    By femmefatale,

    Ow, that is really really strong at first. And it's a very perfumey scent. Not liking it so much wet.
    As it's drying down, ew, it's not changing much. I'm not getting any of the grapefruit. It just smells like some bad perfume I tried years ago. Maybe it would work better with hubby's chemistry becuase it's just not working with mine.

    Olokun

    By femmefatale,

    I LOVE this one!
     
    Started out a very sharp, strong (but nice) aquatic but as it dried down it began to morph into something a bit sweeter and fresher. A bit soapy but very lovely. I can see this being worn by either a male or female. I'm going to have to have hubby try it.
    This is a definate keeper and I might just have to get a bottle!
    Can't wait to see how it wears when the weather gets hot and sticky.

    Whip

    By femmefatale,

    Oh, WOW! I love love love this one. In the imp it was rather sweet smelling, though not unpleasant.
    Wet the rose dominates, but not in a sickly sweet way. it's actually very nice. As it dried the leather definately comes out and the roses become secondary.
    Wouldn't be my every day scent, but definately one that I would wear when I want to feel sexy. It's not a light "I want to be seduced" scent, it a definate "I know what I want and will take it" scent.
     
    Hubby loves it. LOL
     
    Will most certainly be buying a bottle of this. In fact, I think hubby already plans to.

    Morocco

    By femmefatale,

    Mmmmm...very nice.
     
    Wet on me it's a warm vanilla, nice because it's not too sweet.
     
    As it dries it there's a slight spice to it and I catch a hint of something I can't quite put my finger on.
     
    All in all, I really like this one. Might have to put it on my bottle list.

    Black Pearl

    By femmefatale,

    Ooooh, I like this one.
    The coconut and musk were stronger when I first applied it, but then they faded and I catch a hint of the hazelnut and iris. I still smell the musk in the background, I just wish the coconut lasted longer.
    I'm glad I got a bottle and can't wait to see what it's like once the weather warms up.

    Faustus

    By femmefatale,

    Hubby tried this one since some reviewers said it was more masculine. At first it was rather sweet. I could've sworn I caught a bit of honeysuckle.
    As it dried down it took on a smokey incense smell. Really very nice. I think I'll be trying this one myself soon

    Santa Muerte

    By femmefatale,

    In the imp and wet it's super strong and rather icky, like a really bad drugstore perfume.
     
    As it dries though it loses the harshness and begins to soften quite a bit. Starts to smell very powdery on me. Almost like Baby Love that someone tried to "grow up" a little.
     
    I wouldn't buy a bottle, but I will probably try this again just to see.
     
    ETA: No I won't. I smell like old lady mixed w/baby powder. ewww. Not quite what I was going for.

    Dirty

    By femmefatale,

    At first I did get the fresh linen, just washed scent. Then it turned a bt more floral (plumeria?). Hubby said it smells like walking into Bath and Body works (which he likes). I'll probably keep the imp, I think it would make a nice summer scent, but I don't think I'll buy a bottle. I'm glad I got to try it though.

    By femmefatale,

    I got this mostly for hubby and omg, I am so glad I did! It smells so sexy on him! At first it was a smokey musk and then dried to a wonderful fresh and slightly sweet scent with just a hint of smoke in the background. I love it and will very likely be ordering a bottle.
    Of course, now I'm really wondering how it would smell on me? hmmm...
     
     
    ETA: Tried it on me and it seems to have a bit more spice in it than on dh. I really like it.

    Pele

    By femmefatale,

    To be honest, my hopes weren't very high for this one. I've been finding that many florals do not like me.
     
    Thankfully, I was wrong! I love ths one! It's such a beautiful, soft, refreshing floral. I wish it was stronger though, but it's kinda nice to just catch the scent now and then. It's almost flirty.
    I'm also thinking that this might layer nicely with some othr scents that need to be softened.
     
    I have to get a bottle.

    Le Fee Verte

    By femmefatale,

    hmmmm.....smells like a nice upscale perfume. Something like my mother used to wear, only a bit sweeter. I was a bit disappointed because in the bottle I got lots of lime-y??? goodness, but absolutely none on my skin.
    The vanilla musk comes out very nicely as it dries, along with the honey and something herbal. Also, a little powdery, but something there is keeping it from turning to complete powder on me.
    I'm glad I got to try it and most likely I'll keep the imp that was generously gifted to me, but I haven't yet decided on a bottle. I'll have to try it a couple more times. I'm also very interested to see how it will work in a locket.

    Tavern of Hell

    By femmefatale,

    Hubby just tried this since I was assuming it would be a very masculine scent. Happliy, I was wrong.
    I starts out very woodsy w/a hint of florals underneath. As it dries, the gardenia and orange blossom comes out. Luckily, not much of the ylang ylang since it tend to give me a headache. Underneath it all lurks a faint whiskey and a bit of tobacco.
     
    I really love this and can't wait to see how it smells on me.

    Mme Moriarty

    By femmefatale,

    So after reading all the hype I finally broke down and tracked down an aged decant.
     
    I can't tell if I like it or not. At times I think....not so much, at other times it's interesting. It actually seems a bit more masculine to me, but not manly. I really think I would love this if it wasn't for the red musk as all the other notes are lovely (even the pomegranate, which I more often than not don't like). Also, I seem to like this more from a distance than up close. I have it in my locket right now since I wasn't sure how I feel about it on my skin, and I keep catching a wonderful sceent now and then. But when I sniff it up close....eh.
     
     
    So the verdict is...I still have no idea. I'll keep trying it and might end up with a bottle, but won't need more than that, esp. since I have Snake Charmer.

    Mock Turtles Lessons

    By femmefatale,

    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.

    Ashlultum

    By femmefatale,

    In the imp and on my fingers it's a very pretty, musky vanilla.
     
    Wet on my wrists: Holy cow, LILAC! Wow, where did my wonderful vanilla and musk go? Where's my COCONUT???
     
    Drying: Ah, thank you lilac for quieting down. You know, you really don't have to scream to be heard. And there is my coconut barely whispering to me and my vanilla and musk are coming out of hiding.
     
    Dry: It's beautiful. Really. Everything has blended nicely and keeps slightly shifting. Very sexy and feminine, without being girly, trashy, or too sophisticated. I'm getting a bottle.
