Philosopher is gorgeous- it is a sweet smoky incense with an added splash of honeyed wine.

 

I like muchly.

Yep, that's bubble gum...

and it does exactly what bubble gum does after a while-- lose its flavor.

Fun but not something I would wear to the office.

Super spicy bay rum with a tiny whiff of clean ocean air on top...

I can't make up my mind about this one. On application, it is sweet ripe strawberry. The instant it dries, it goes into platic mode and stays there for about 10-15 minutes. What emerges is atrawberry with carnation. It's sweet and peppery at the same time. I can't decide if I like it or not.

I think what I smell is the tea and cucumber. Green Phoenix is a very clean scent and has a soapy quality. Pleasant without being overbearing.

Mad Meg is smoky vetiver. I agree with the others that it has a burnt wood quality. I am not a big fan of vetiver as a main note, so I think I'll have to pass on this. I could see it suiting a man rather well.

This scent is sweet!! I mainly get cherry and lilac. After a few minutes, the spice starts to kick in. It retains its sweetness but the combination of the sweet and spice is just KICK ASS. I think I love this blend.

This starts out as honeyed chocolate. As it dries down, the chocolate dies down and I think I am getting a hint of peach. The main player, though is something very strong. Myrrh? It is not exactly incense-ish but leans in that direction. I don't think I would but this blend but wouldn't turn it down were it to be handed to me as a gift.

CCCLXXI

 

Wet: Oh no! I got Buttered popcorn all over my wrist.

 

Dry: Great. When did I spill liquid vitamins on myself?

 

 

Wow- this is exactly as it is described... I can smell the strawberry floating in a huge glass of champagne. Definitely won't be wearing this to work.

Pretty Zorya... starts off screaming jasmine but after drydown, the jasmine calms down and a spicy musk comes out. I love jasmine but this is a bit much. If you can get past the initial stage, Zorya is quite beautiful.

Death Cap is definitely a morpher and thank Bob for that. It starts out as earth... dirt... loam. I know there are a lot of fans of the dirt note, but after I have spent the time showering and am planning to spend a day at the office conducting hearings, I do NOT want to smell like I have been rolling around in the mud. Call me wacky but it doesn't quite fit the image I am trying to project. So I sniff my wrists on the way out of the house this morning and decide to wash it off when I get to work. Not ten minutes later, I put my purse and keys down and do a last sniff before heading to the restroom... and holy moly! No dirt! What I have on my flesh is vanilla musk. Slightly spicy, very warm and just beautiful.

 

There is a bottle of this in my future. For sure.

Magnolia... either you love it or you don't. Having grown up climbing magnolias (they are excellent when you need to hide), it's no surprise that this scent is a bit nostalgic for me. It is sweet but spicy and evokes the image of the Southern Lady. She is gracious but will kick your ass if you cross her.. but she will smile the entire time and say "Bless your little heart" right before she rips it from your chest and hands it to you.

 

Dangerously sweet. That's Hell's Belle for ya.

Fresh and green and springy and bouncy and sneezy and sniffly and don't put more than a tiny dab on ever again...

I think we have a winner.

 

The Revered Ones obviously are chocolate freaks- this scent is spicy sweet cocoa both in application and drydown. It lasts forever- I dabbed two spots on my arm at 7:30 this morning and it is still going strong at 3pm.

 

Now I want hot chocolate. It's 95 degrees outside. This imp goes into hiding until the temperature drops at least 25 degrees or I get a walk in freezer.

Lemon drops... lemon skittles... lemon cake. In that order.

 

Yum

Yowser. This is overpowering MOUTHWASH.

Aquatic citrus. I was kind of meh about it.

Banana. That is all.

What an interesting blend. It smells like sweet dragon's blood...

 

 

I could not pin down a single note in this blend on application. All I know is that it turned to Play Doh in seconds.

I got sour fruit from this on first application. The drydown was better- not sweet but softer- I did not find any cinnamon.

This is a wedding cake disaster. It starts out absolutely gorgeous and ends up smelling like Play Doh.

Of the entire Snake Pit, Green Tree Viper is the only blend that made me go ICK. Boomslang is worthy of a swoon of major proportion.

Very light fragrance- floral on application but with a hint of coolness. On drydown, it appears to fade, but as I sniff my wrist, it reappears. It is wispy and nearly transparent but definitely there.

 

Nice but not something I must have at the moment.
