    Sapphics

    Quite sexy and spicy! I get mostly sweet tonka and balsam, the other notes are present, softly in the background. I don't know if I'd call this full-on sexy, but definately cozy and warm, cuddling close to the one you love in a warm place in winter.
  2. Much softer than I expected, though it does have something underground-y on me. Definately powdery, a velvety rose and smooth leather, with a not too thick smoke note in there. Evocative, very pretty!

    Jacob's Ladder

    Beautiful golden powder... I do mostly get amber though, someone elses skin would make this irresistible!

    Venus Murcia

    This is somehow green and pink on my skin! Guessing it's the honey myrtle that's mixing with the freshness of the grass that makes an interesting, happy and silly scent, soap bubbles floating over a grassy field.

    Little Pythia

    Rose champaca, but not nearly as strong as i would like. I'm guessing the red licorice is strawberry (and black licorice), but that may be my brain imagining it bc that's what they do with red licorice here. The vanilla smoothes this out. It's a very pretty, casual sent to me. I also get the 'ancient' mentioned above - First thing that came to mind was 'little match girl'. Maybe this is historic in a fairytale alternate universe.

    Ravenous

    Not feral, but a fruity, sunshiny summer soft serve.

    Anactoria

    2010 version. There's something slightly medicinal about this. Scratch that, that gets worse when dry. I was able to pick out most of the notes pretty clearly, but the honey, currant and musk are mostly gone and i'm left with this thing that I can best describe once again as green, and medicinal.

    Pink Moon 2005

    Yup, pink. Beautiful strawberries in a field of fresh flowers. Perfect for springtime.

    Impromptu Goat Yoga

    I happened to find myself at a petting zoo the other day where i ran into a very touch starved goat. It smells like the goat. That, and someone's snackin' on marshmallows and helping themselves to some milky tea very close to you. ]

    Entertaining the Heian Court Maiden

    Wow!!! This is a strong, strong oudh note. There's definately a ..........moist-y sex thing in there and I don't think it's the bourbon vanilla - that's barely there for me. Strange, it's almost salty on me.

    El Amor y la Muerte

    Harsh clove, the red sandalwood and benzoin fighting for their place among that. This is an aggressive love on me.

    Alleviate the Frenzy

    My skin has eaten the peack at the point of drydown. Too bad, cause it gave this a neccesary depth for me. Now it's just sweet amber. Nope!

    Sarah, the Mother Bear

    Getting a good mix of all of the notes, i can pick them out independently but they work together very well too. It's a somewhat darker scent (like a veeeeeeery soft/deluded version of reptoid dominion), but it's more of a hippy-shop dark on me than 'evil' or nighttime-y. It's an embrace of a very nice-smelling person you trust.

    PRC12

    Agree with the stated above, nutty but not in foodie territory. There's a warmth, something cozy and spicy. Powdery patchouli amps up for me on drydown, and the afformentioned notes fall into the background.

    R'lyeh

    Dark and broody, also has something ... muddy in there. Though it's a bit random-lemon-axe deodorant spray on me so i need to go wash this off.

    Port-Au-Prince

    Very, very strong clove and almond. Wish the rum was more apparent in this or it would have been a keeper. Definately delicious!

    Gomorrah

    Very faint fig and something... mechanical? Not for me.

    Godfather Death

    Dark and thick. Opoponax tends to amp on me, and it does here, though it's not distracting or painfully strong like black moths was for me. It's herbal and the rose adds a welcome warmth to this.

    Pecan Pie

    Oooo... In the last years i've learned that i love pecan in nice smelly stuff, and this is no exception. Spicy pecan delicousness!!! ?

    Juliet

    Soapy honeysuckle with a hint of other colourful florals, very lovely, but pretty much dissapears on my skin.

    Urania

    Minty pine forest by the creek? It's light, it's fun, just sweet enough and lightly green with some dark green undertones. Pretty.

    Tanuki No Senkimochi

    A soft (as in, fur) vaguely reminiscent of the bear prince, a sweet soft myrrh and sugary anise, and a far away smoke note.

    Salted Caramel Shortbread

    Happy to try an imp from this, but going into it i know i'm not a fan of salted caramel. And that IS what this smells like. It is however not super in your face, and it's a touch soapy. Pleasant!

    The Arabian Dance

    Reminds me vaguely of the soldier from what i remember, but it's a far softer and less sharper/peppery-er leather. The tobacco just works as a soft little bed for the rest of the notes to lie on, the hazelnut and coffee add a delicious dimention to this, enveloping the spices... It reminds me of a hearty snack with some honey dribbled over it. Hmm.

    Little Egypt

    A soft, balsamy honeyed spice.
