    Obatala

    Obatala sat on my shelf unused for the longest time, reading over descriptions... I thought "why arent I wearing this???" So away I go... Wet: coconut and buttery milk... I'm on Atkins right now and I would KILL for some coconut cake with whipped cream icing..This is a very luscious scent, but at the same time, very clean and fresh. Drydown: Same. This has staying power on me or maybe as my husband said, I "put way too much on"

    Akuma

    Devilish temptation, as sweet as sin: blood orange, neroli, and raspberry. This is a good energetic scent for me... apart from the darks I usually wear. Good for after a 16 hour shift! *yawns* Wet: Very blood orange, sweet fruity. Drydown: Mostly raspberry... although I agree with the previous review stating "strawberry shortcake" isnt that a memory trigger!!?? Energetic.

    Fire Eater

    I have had a bottle of this for a while and while its not my regular kind of scents... Its a nice soapy floral. Clean smelling.

    Sybaris

    Got this lovely scent as an extra imp today and upon reading the reviews, was excited to try it out... Wet: I can pick out clove, violet and tonka all as seperate entities, this is nice!!! I'm excited to see if this lasts as long as previously reviewed. Drydown: Holy Violets Batman!! Its strange but the violets stay close, I can smell them if I sniff skin, but the throw is almost all Tonka, which I like alot! Verdict: I'm definately looking for more of this. I love the throw!!!

    Kunstkammer

    I love Kunstkammer!!! Its a smutty cherry bubble gum flavor on me... strong enough that it doesnt burn off too fast... One of those fun scents I like for casual wear. (cherry?? my chemistry turns everything wacky)

    The Premature Burial

    Lucky me scored a bottle of this, intrigued by the "dirt". Wet: earthy, a wet dirt, woodsy... very light hint of orchid. My skin doesnt pick up any of the other scents. Drydown: Nothing else but a real nice dirt smell. Exactly what I wanted... exactly what I expect from the name. Obsessing over dirt blends now!!! Edit: in a locket this retains its same wet scent for nearly 24 hours!!! This has become my favorite all time scent!

    Desdemona

    Innocent, soft and pure: sweet pea, carnation and water lily. I got an imp of this a while back and am holding on to it .. precioussssss. Not much makes me feel super girly, but this scent does!! a beautiful soft, innocent light floral. Love.

    De Sade

    I bought this one because I love the smell of leather and the hubbys standard retail bought colognes were driving me nuts.. I LOVE IT!!!! love it so much... Smells like leather through and through in the bottle? leather... wet? leather ...drydown? leather BUT...it has this odd mystery drifting in and out scent that I adore way more than just the smell of leather. My favorite all time male scent!!! (edit: cause I'm stupid and didnt realize this was GC *laughs*)

    Voodoo

    I loved the smell of Voodoo in the imp I recieved... my hubby said "pepsi" which goes along with the cola, coke... etc said before. I dont know why, but this was like HOLY-DAMN-STRONG when I first put it on... overpoweringly so. (maybe it was the combine of working a 12 hour shift to get off to have to plan my 1 year old daughters first birthday frustrations... I was way sensitive)... Wet: Oh my STRONG! roll down the windows in the car... rubbing wrists on pants legs trying to temper this!!! Dry down: Better after a while, very incensey on me, my chemistry is very strange. Much later: an almondy vanilla, but I can still smell it 8 hours later, which is unusual... as I tend to burn things off pretty fast. Dont love... don't hate.... Just is. ADDED June 1: Couldnt do it!! Waited 5 minutes and had to wash this off, I think its the vetiver & almond on my skin that just reminds me of murky stank water. Edit: I already reviewed this and didnt realize it cause the imp snuck back in my "try me" box. I'm so surprised though at the difference between the first review which was "pepsi" initially to this one. It does dry down nice but this time it was unbearable, guess that shows me I need to wait it out

    Numb

    My first review...my Bpal virginity taker.. and what has me hooked is all Numb. When initially opening this bottle, I was instantly taken back to my childhood in a very powerful way... but not nearly as much as when I put it on. On me this smells EXACTLY like my grandmother who just died in march, (we were very close). It doesnt smell exactly on me like it does in the bottle, my chemistry changes it in some wierd way, like I do all scents...But I had to call my mother as soon as I could and ask her what perfumes grandma wore... "Rose water and when she was going out, Chanel no. 5" which is exactly what this smells like on me. I love it.
