Bat-Woman: out of the vial, it's a light, fresh, clean scent. slightly perfumey, but very pretty and soft. Reminds me of very expensive french-milled soap.

drydown: moonflower, soft floral. very pretty! not something i would typically wear, but i wouldn't turn my nose up at a bottle!

Isle of the Dead: sharp fir-tree notes, like a pile of stickey pine needles.

drydown: very faint pine notes, deep heartnote of something sticky and slightly bitter. interesting, but surprisingly soft. it's very classy... i wish it were a bit stronger, though.

Death of Sardanpal: spicy! cassia-type notes over something sweeter, almost like a faint citrusy note, probably the lemongrass.

drydown: vascilates between spicy & sweet (honey/wine), and slightly citrusy, almost like citronella. there's also a note in there that's a bit dry and sweet, like tobacco. it sounds odd, but it is very elegant and sophisticated.

And there was a great cry in Egypt: already reviewed.

Carceri D'Invenzione: a pretty sweetness that smells a lot like the honeysuckle bush that used to grow in the back yard of the house where i grew up. something a little more substantial, powdery, but sweet.

drydown: i want to bathe in this. it is so sweet and soft, slightly tropical. it reminds me a bit of the scent they pipe into the lobby of Treasure Island in las vegas. total winner.
