Wow, I am loving Beth's winter Moons! Cold moon was the first that I know I won't swap, this makes the second.

It's aquatic, but dark and gloomy. It definitely has the feeling of snow melting and mixing with other things on its way down to the sewers. I smell herbs, what herbs I couldn't tell you but herbs nonetheless. And I get none of this piney wood smell so many others got, and THANK GOD! I adore this, and pine would have killed the whole thing for me. Mmmm, into the box with the other keepers you go!

Oh boy, all apple all the time and I love it! the other notes are faint, mingling in the background, and the apple is up front going "Show me love!" must get bigger bottle....

by far my favorite Norn, this has to be a big bottle! It's mostly apple and amber which completely makes my day! And then there's the herbs backing it, making it a deeper scent. It's absolutely gorgeous! This is the apple scent I've been waiting for!

At first this is WAY too sweet. It needs to calm down or I will get a cavity from sniffing it. As it dries it mellows and becomes a gorgeous sweet scent, mostly it's the ylangylang I smell, I think. I love this when it dries, but can I stand it while it's wet is the question.

I really really wanted to love Fate, because, well, it's Fate! There's something kind of juicy in here, which I love, but me and the patchouli are not getting along and I really should give up on making our relationship last. sigh.

this is pretty but NOT my favorite pumpkin scent. It's a rich, spicy pumpkin, but there's something dark, incensy and animal lurking in the bakground that ruins it for me. It's like when a pumpkin first starts rotting but you don't notice it yet. Lovely image, eh?

Just like Thalia, I'm glad I bought a bottle right off the bat.

This is a glorious peach wine and musk scent. Can white musk do no wrong? apparently not with me!

It's a sunny, glistening scent, like the bit of light sparkling in dew.

And as time goes on there's my amber...not sure what myrtle smells like but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in the background, because there's the faint hint of something I don't recognize.

I can't wait for my bottle of Euphrosyne to come with Storm moon now, I adore the graces!

Wow, this is gorgeous! No regrets buying a bottle right off the bat, that's for sure.

When wet this is ALL pear and plumeria. It's soft and delicate and glistening. As the oil dries down the wine starts peaking it's head out, never enough to overwhelm, just enough to be a backing note, adding depth and character.

Good cheer, no kidding, it's hard to be mopey wearing this!

I'm also a clove freak. My favorites with clove:

Blood: pretty equal mix of clove and cherry on me

Three Witches:mmmm

Sybaris: oh how I love thee

I have wrath and Ingenue but haven't tried them yet.

I couldn't smell clove at all in Blood Kiss, Malice, or Voodoo; and barely in Phantom Queen and Seraglio.

Does Kabuki even have clove in it? I don't think it does. But that was WAY sacchrine sweet on me anyway.

I don't put enough on to have throw...but remember, throw has more to do with the person and how much they put on than the oil I think. If you are warmer/hot the scent will have more throw, if you're cold there will be little to no throw.

Sweet and fruity. Does this have dragon's blood in it? very slight cinnamon scent to it as well. Very delicious. There's a bit of vanilla and a bit of floral. This reminds me of Dragon's Milk as well. I am in love, again.

wow. Instant love! It's all Amber and Dragon's Blood with some mandarin and currant and it's AMAZING. Sweet, seductive, powerful. Must have more!

Smells a bit cedary to me. Maybe it's the vetivert? This is uber earthy, reminds me of Capricorn. It's deep, it makes me think of the earth, of nature, of the Goddess. But this isn't me.

Very, very green and very earthy. It's a bit overpowering for me though. It's kind of got a punch to it which is a bit more punch than I need...or eve maybe than I derseve. It kind of has that thing where it lingers in my nostrils. Kind of like when you've been inhaling bleach fumes and then after when you're in fresh air you seem to breathe bleach still.

Deep smoky cherry and berries! I am SO in love! Why did I not order the lab's signature scent in my very first order anyway? I adore glampyre for sending me this as part of my swap faery pressie. (I think that's who sent it to me. if i'm wrong then it was kate). Anyway, whoever sent it to me...WOOHOO thanks! Smells SOOO good, deep, dark club kind of scent. The kind of scent you wear when you're on the prowl, wearing a short skirt with nothing underneath it and looking for someone to pull into a dark corner and have your way with.

So that's what pure-on patchouli smells like. This actually makes me cough! It reminds me of something, something other than church but that's close and I can't figure out what it is! Damn you memory, come out! Anyway, this is ALL patchouli with some slightly sour ginger backing it. Not a favorite of mine. It's got it's effect on me, but I don't like the scent so it'll have to go sadly.

Sweet from the herbs and tea and very clean with all of the green notes. This is light, a spring day after the rain has dried kind of scent. I don't usually like scents that are all wide open spaces kind of scents but I adore this. it's just beautiful, fields and woods that I miss exploring.

this is a church kind of musky scent. there's something sweet behind it but I don't know what it is. This just reminds me of church using too much incense. sorry but it's off to the swap pile for you.

Oh...my...god...jasmine, orchid and amber! I adore this! It's beautiiful and sweet and very hyponotic. It's the most beautiful girl you've ever seen walking through a tall field of flowers on a warm spring day in a sun dress. Mmmm.

very very not me. The vetiver and civet are all I smell and on me it's kind of...I don't know if rancid is the word but just all bad! And the anise sits behind them mocking and saying "i'm going to add this sickly sweet note to turn your stomach!" I really wanted to like this, but it wasn't meant to be.

Musk, oh the musk! Reinforcing my revelation that I ADORE white musk! When I first put this on it was all sandalwood which sucked. I got no fruit though, which is a bit sad. I really like this but I don't think I'd wear it too much, it's almost sweet, in a cavity getting sort of way. It's hard to think of this being a scent to honor zombies, but hey, maybe they are sugar zombies. (so want maple sugar zombies now).

Lemon lime! Heavy on the lemon. Already in love! On drydown this turns into a very light, sweet floral on me. Gentleman's cologne indeed! I adore it. It's soft, whispy. I expected something harsher, this is an ode to the Ripper after all. I thought it would remind me of hard angles, but this is all soft curves once you're through the door. Absolutely gorgeous!

Glasgow might be close to what you're looking for. It's almost a faery like femininity on me, but it's soft and gentle and it does give me that pink feel, I think it's the heather that does that.

midwinter's eve= bordello

queen of spades=blood countess

Wildfire=dragon's bone

I don't know what's with my skin lately but I just can't take rose scents anymore. Althought I think it's more of the rosemary and rose combination. this goes sour and kind of acrid on me. Pity, I really wanted to love it.
