    Libertine

    The imp smells of Old Spice/ generic men's cologne. On the skin it becomes more of a ladies' perfume, with the rose and sandalwood dominant. It goes a bit powdery.

    Her Voice

    I still haven't made up my mind if I like this or not It starts out very floral, cloying and piercing. Then the vanilla amber and the beeswax play tug-of-war for an hour or so until it fades. It's nice and all, but every time I wear it, I think "Do I really want to try it again?" or "What's that smell--oh, yeah, it's me!" Hmmm.... I've never been this waffly about a perfume before. I'll most likely end up swapping it. How's that for conviction.

    Cathedral

    It's very dusty. It doesn't smell anything like the incense I remember from Holy Thursday Mass (it's the occasion that most screams "Incense" to me). I think it smells more like unlit incense than actively burning incense. Also, it's making my skin where I'm testing very itchy.

    Rose Red has gotten me the most compliments.

    Bailey's Irish Cream.

    Danube

    I'm not a fan of rhododendrons. Thankfully it smells like watered down citrus, which isn't a great scent for me, but it's not bad, really. And it doesn't smell of rhododendron.

    Paris

    The lavender and the lotus throw so much, and they give me a headache

    Oya

    Lots of plums, and then it dries to an herbal blend. Still full of plums, but not as foody.

    Dragon's Bone

    The orris root and sandalwood are lovely, but the dragon's blood is too much.

    Schrodinger's Cat

    I can definitely smell the lime and tangerine. When it dries, it ends up a powdery mint. Too foody for me.

    Sugar Moon 2008

    Wet: sugary, a little boozy. Definitely a maple flavor. In fact it reminds me of the Macallan Amber liquor. Dry: it's way too dark! It's not overly dark, but there's an aftertaste of darkness that just doesn't work for me. I'm so disappointed.

    Delirium

    It's very fresh, clean, and citrusy.

    Mania

    In the bottle it smells of cherries, patchouli and cough syrup It dries much better, into a sugared incense, reminiscent of Midnight on the Midway, which is a favorite. But the initial waft of cough syrup is too much.

    Parlement of Foules

    2008 OMG- this is happiness in a bottle! It's straight up roses with resin, and it's gorgeous! There's a little throw which is very welcome. I just love this sceent

    Hetairae

    This turned out to be so musky on me! It's smoky, dark and very sexy, but mainly musky, which is a little odd, since there's no musk note listed.

    The Passionate Shepherd To His Love

    Heather It's wet and green and lovely, herbal, but not floral. It has a pleasant throw. It's raining today, and I think that is helping me love this scent even more. It's just a wonderful scent.

    Intrigue

    Smoky...chocolatey, all together too foody.

    Malediction

    Woah-vetivert! I don't get the smokiness, but it's so dark, almost overpowering.

    Hades

    This is so rich! Opulent, heady, thick, earthy. Very nice

    Umbra

    Deep, dark, earthy...very masculine. I think I would enjoy smelling this on a man. It doesn't smell too good on me.

    Pannychis

    First impression: hmmm...very nice. The florals are just lovely and the cardamom adds such a nice spice. Thankfully, it's not gone foody. It's nicely spicy, and floral. I'm going to have to try this a few more times, but this might just be the spicy floral that I've been looking for.

    Horn of Plenty

    It's dark and somewhat burnt. Very strong. I don't think I like it.

    Black Hellebore

    It's an interesting green scent, but I really dislike peony, and it's gone sort of soapy as it dries.
  24. bryghtrose

    Sloth

    This is certainly an indolent scent. Very heavy and lethargic.

    Event Horizon

    Huh... I really can't smell anything with this....no, wait, there's the faintest hint of something. But I have no idea what it is. Ugh. This scent wants to be more...I can tell there's more here, but I just can't smell it.
