The first thing that comes to mind is Hellcat (A soft, sensual, luxuriant blend with a wicked bite: hazelnut, buttercream, honey mead, rum and sweet almond). It's boozy and sweet and at least a little bit evil

Wet on skin this is very similar to Cheshire Moon if i'm remembering it right. Tropical fruit with a creamy vanilla note. As it dries down I get a little bit of apple and what I think is the carnation. After a few hours it's turned into a much more powdery scent, a lot like Snow White to my nose. It's soft and sweet but not overly fruity anymore.

Wow, aging has really made a difference to this one. When I first tried it last year (fresh from the lab) I hated it. It was just too sharp and ozone-y for me and if I remember rightly, I had to wash it off because it made me feel ill

Now, though, it's so much better, more fruity than before. I can just about smell the anise but it's mainly the pomegranite coming through. It's still got a tough of ozone in the background but it's a lot sweeter and creamier than before. It's definitely airy though so it's a perfect aquarius scent. Not perfect for me, but then again I'm not a proper aquarius

Have you tried Scarecrow? It has a strong petrol-y smell to it, at least it does to me

L'Heure Verte is very sweet at first, in fact it smells not just sweet but like actual sugar. The anise isn't that obvious to begin with but comes out after a few minutes. The lilac and the rose water are there for a while but then they fade out again to leave sugary anise goodness behind. It's lovely. Sweet and light but with the smokeyness behind it. Yum

Samhain ('07) is one of my favourite bpals ever, I've yet to try this year's version but I'm going to have to order a bottle or two before it goes away again. I find it smells different each time I wear it but it's always fantastic. Today I'm getting a lot of patchouli and the spices from it with the pumpkin and apple in the background. It usually smells much more pumpkin-y on me and sometimes the apple comes out a lot more. It's the only scent I have that smells so vastly different on different days, but that's part of the fun, I never know what's going to amp when I put it on. Anyway, I love it A LOT

A very sweet, light violet scent. It's very pretty and it does have an icy feel to it.

This smells like dry, mossy earth and fresh roses that have been out in the rain. The dirt and the rose work well together and stop you from smelling too much like an actual zombie. Because, while fun in concept, I doubt they smell too good.

Fresh from the lab all I got from this 13 was dark chocolate. It was nice but not anything special. Now, after it's had a few months to age, it's much more complex. I can smell the apple a lot now and I really like the combination of that and the chocolate. Looking at the list of notes the only others I can really pick out are the sandlewood, the tea, honeysuckle and what I think might be the tonka? It's really fresh and the chocolate isn't too creamy or sweet. For me, it's a definite improvement on the last 13 anyway

Wow, this really does smell like dust for the first few seconds. After that the florals are much more noticable than the dust, thankfully. It's slightly citrus-y too, but mainly I would say it's floral. I like it but I don't think it's one I'd want to wear very often.

Wow, this is really sour! It's faintly ginger-y but mainly just really, really sharp blueberry. I like it and it does settle down after a while, becaoming slightly more powdery and less sour.

I'm having a hard time distinguishing many of the notes in this one. I'm not very good at recognising florals anyway but the only note in this that I'd definitely be able to recognise is the rose Anyway... on to my extremely unhelpful review.

I was really surprised by how sweet Eternal is. It's like someone upeded a box of candy necklaces onto a flower bed. It feels very pure and innocent. If we're associating bpal with colours this one would be spotlessly white. It's very pretty and light, if a little sad seeming.

This is really fresh and citrus-y. I can smell the ginger slightly but mostly I get the verbena from this. The grass is coming out more after it's been on a while but this is still mainly a citrus scent. It's not one I would've expected to like (not a ginger fan at all) but I do. It'd be great for summer because it's so light and "happy" smelling.

Woah, I love rose but this is a LOT of rose. It's predominantly a sugary tea rose on me but I can smell that there are other roses lurking in the background somewhere behind the tea rose. There's a little bit of grassy green-ness but yeah, mostly tea rose. It's strong too and I only put on a dab from my imp wand! This is definitely not one to slather all over. I do like it but I'm going to be very careful about my application when I wear it.

Wow, this smells so much better after it's aged a bit. I tried my imp a few months ago and I didn't like it but now it's so much better! I get powdery amber at first, then the carnation shows up and mixes with the amber to make a really lovely warm, spicy scent. It's a little sexy but in a sophisticated way. It's perfumey but it has the feel of a classic high-end perfume. It's great but it's probably not one I'll wear often. I don't think I'm ready to smell that sophisticated yet

Hmm... mostly I get soap from this one. Woe. At first it's very aquatic and then the flowers come out. They're fairly overpowering and they seem the type to give me a headache if I wear too much. Then after a few minutes, soap

For some reason Scarecrow reminds me of peaches. I get the petrol/ nail polish remover smell but behind that there's something peach-like. I don't know " The dry grass comes out after a while but for a few hours it's very sharp and chemical-y. Anyway, it's really a warm scent, it being described as "scorched" fields is spot on. It'll be a good addition to my ever-growing collection of autumnal scents.

This smells a little bit like pear drops, it's got a fizzy citrusy smell to it. It's largely lemongrass and sandlewood, mainly lemongrass. I can barely smell the woods and jasmine underneath. It's quite strong and I think this one might give me a headache if I put too much on.

This is weird. At first I couldn't work out what it was this smells like. Then it hit me, it smells (at least when it's fresh on) exactly like celery. So strange.

It's definitely airy and wet smelling, but the "grasses" are just too like celery for me to want to wear this. I don't even like celery

The buttery hazlenut was very strong when I first put this on but after a few minutes the honey and almond comes out. The rum is very strong too, and it has a very warm, boozy feel to it. It's almost fruity on the drydown and I like it a lot, definitely one for wearing this time of year. I can imgine it would be really overpowering in hot weather.

The pink pepper is very strong in Hermia, almost to the point that I can't smell anything else. I can just about smell the passion flower but it all goes a bit too "air freshener" on me. This one is definitely not going on my bottle wishlist.

This smells a lot like tombstone, with the vanilla and the woodsy quality it has. I can smell what I think is the patchouli in the backgroung. It's very light and sort of smoky. The vanilla is alot less prominent than in tombstone.

Mmm, this is fantastic! At first I can mainly smell the smoky pumpkin but after a while I can seperate out the cherry tobacco and sage. It's very sweet and when it dries down it smells a lot like caramel, which goes really well with the smoky vanilla. I'm really glad I got a bottle

Hmm, I'm not sure what it is, maybe the pomegranite, but this smells an awful lot like Samhain when I first put it on, although it has a bitter edge to it that isn't there in Samhain. Under the fruit there's a darker musky kind of smell which I'm not liking very much at all. I'm sticking with my Samhain. It's a pity, it wouldv'e been good to have a GC equivalent in my collection.

Straight off all I could smell was peach, but actually it smells a lot like melon too. After it has time to settle I can definitely smell the musk and the florals come out a little bit. It's very light and pretty, and it has a kind of gauzy, misty quality to it. However, it does smell a little like air freshener on me after a while so it's not one of my favourites.
