NO lust or kinkiness for me. I can't pick out any one scent, but this one doesn't work for me. Swaped!

Glasgow is the perfect blend of a heather field with blackberry bushes to the sides. As you step into the field, you can smell the blackberries kissing the wind as it wafts over the heather. *Sigh* I am in heaven.

It smelled so sweet in the bottle and the description was making me hope that the patchouli would be ok. Alas, I am on the bad side of the patchouli. I got an immediate headache. Maybe I will learn to keep patchouli at bay.

I was hoping that it would fade to a nice apricot, but all I got was patchouli. The chemicals in my skin do not carry patchouli very well.

As it says, chocolate and more chocolate. Too much chocolate for me. It is very decadant, but all I want to do is get a candy bar. Not great for dieting.

Blood Rose is a sex kitten's dream as my friend puts it. She is recently divorced and actively looking for fun. I let her borrow it when we went to the club. Needless to say, I left on my own. I ended up giving it to her. She said that it was more needed to her than me.

 

My favorite is Masquerade. Or should I say my husband's favorite. If I want a great night. I am headed to a Masquerade. Ok, bad pun - if you can call it that. But, it works for me.

 

Happy Anniversary Kimmers! Hope it's not too late.

Eternal was a very strong gardenia on me. The first try faded to roses, but now it's not me.

I have to agree with the strong incense smell. I wish it would have faded away on me. Alas, it didn't.

I have been waiting for this to come in. Sleep troubled I am. It has a lavender scent that doesn't come on too strong. I placed it on my pillow and slept like a baby. Three nights in a row now, I have awoke without the desire to go back to sleep.

This smells like rose scented powder. It is very soft and gentle.

Sacred Whore of Babylon was very strong at first. A floral scent that I can't seem to pick out. I think a wild rose. The rose stays for a while and then it dries down to a creamy vanilla sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. This is going to be a great scent to wear to the clubs. Strong for dancing and then dying down to a relaxing scent for crash and burn sleep.

 

ADDED Feb. 4:

 

This is the second time that I have tried Sacred Whore. I was very unsure the first time and still not too sure. I like the fact that it stays for a long time, but the sweetness and floral. I just dont' know. I'd like to give it a third try. I will update later.

I ordered this and then was unsure because it has cassia in it. I am feeling very happy today. The cassia doesn't come through on me. I smell dark chocolate. Like a chocolate liquor. I am pretty sure that is the red wine coming through. This scent is definitely going to be a hit for Valentine's Day. I will not only taste the magnificent chocolates that day, but I can smell like them too.

I don't know if I can say anything more than what others have said. Moon Rose is light, airy and not overpowering with the roses. As my sister would say, "It's a delightful smell."

La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente is a soft floral on me. I can pick out the myrtle, rose and peach. I'm not sure how a pomegranate smells, so that's not one of the scents that I pick out.

 

When I first smelled it in the bottle, it was exactly as I expected. Like the smell of the soft sweet dew on a summer morning.

 

As it dried, the dew scent drifted away and left a soft floral rose with a background scent of myrtle and peach.

 

I will be purchasing a few 5mls of this one.

 

 

This dries down to a musky baby powder. I'm not too fond of it, but my husband loves it. I guess it's a keeper for the nights alone.

Mmmm. It smells like chocolate, tobacco and light flowers. I can't say anything more than what has already been said. Great scent!

This was not a scent for me. It was too strong. I wish I could say that it alleviated depression, but as soon as I put it on I was in the bathroom washing it off. My mother-in-law loved it and I gave it to her. I hope she enjoys it and receives some good luck too.

Thank you to SoapyRN! She sent this to me as a Christmas present and it has quickly become one of my favorites. It is very strong in the bottle and when I first put it on. Then it dries to this lovely floral scent. I'm guessing as others it is the orchid. I don't remember ever smelling the actual flower, but if this is it I'm in love. This is the scent I put into my secret compartment necklace and I have gotten several good comments. Although, I have learned not to put on too much. That can give me a headache. Long lasting this will be!

I swapped for this one. Mostly because I hadn't purchased an Ars Draconus scent. I like the freshness of the scent, but it was more of a house scent to me. This is one that I have to say was too much Lily of the Valley for me.

I have made melting waxes from this scent and they diluted the Lily of the Valley enough to make the house smell fresh and clean.

This was a freebie for me and I am still at odds with it. It is a very heavy rose. I love roses and it doesn't smell bad on me, just a little dark.

 

I am saving this one for a club night. I will know more after then. If it holds up, I will be a definite fan. I don't have many scents that will hold up to club night.

I thought for sure that I had reviewed this, but I can't find one. I am reviewing my notes and placing reviews and updates to those reviewed if I felt differently.

 

Old Morocco was the very first scent that I ever received. SoapyRN sent it to me for my 30th bday this year. I instantly fell in love.

 

The Arabian spice, warm musk and red sandalwood were the scents that I could pick out, but that's probably because I didn't really know what cassia smelled like. I didn't smell carnation.

 

I haven't bought a 5ml of this, but I plan to after the first of the year.

The description is perfect. I won't wear this scent, but it is great in an oil burner and in candles. I love it as a house scent.

I made this into a perfume solid already. I couldn't detect any one scent in particular, just clean, fresh water. Maybe a little cold too.

Ireland here I come! I think I could smell the mists from the forests and the green of the grass. I fell in love instantly. I have made melting tarts, perfume solids and lotions from the scent. I wear it almost daily.

Like a puffed and reckless libertine,

Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads.

 

 

That is why I purchased Libertine. It just made me feel like romance would be in the air. I am glad that I was right. The bergamot hit me first and then the rosewood and chamomile. I didn't smell the violet too much, which was fine.

 

I just think that this is a wonderfully blended smell.
