Notes on what I've tried so far
AL-SHAIRAN (clove, peach and orange with cinnamon, patchouli and dark incense notes). Turns into a spicey perfume scent. Nothing special. 2
ALECTO (Olive leaf, raspberry leaf, vetiver and cedarwood). Nice, bit green, but nothing special once dry. 3
AEVAL (A judicious yet powerfully sensual blend, a mingling of justice and sexuality: sage, sweet pea, bold pale musk and warm tonka). Hated this out of the bottle, but not bad, once dry. a warm perfumey smell, but nothing special. 2.5
BEWITCHED (blackberry, sage, green tea, wild berries and dark musk). Starts as sharp berries (irritated my nose, but maybe that was just my allergies?), then mellows into something quite pleasant (the essence of raspberry green tea). 4(?)
BURIAL (deep, brooding forest scents, including juniper and patchouli. The scent of upturned cemetary loam mingling with floral offerings to the dead). This turned into a fragrance that I can only describe as that of the floral soap found in the bathrooms of upper class elderly women. Or at least, that was the precise mental image that it evoked for me, after I wore it for more than 30 minutes. 1
EDEN (fig leaf, fig fruit, honeyed almond milk, toasted coconut and sandalwood). This fragrance is pure love -- delicious and foody and sexy. not the best staying power, but not the worst, either. 5
HARVEST MOON (unknown year, and thus unknown notes) I love this fragrance to bits and pieces, and have thus instituted a thorough plan to try every year of Harvest Moon thus made, in an epic quest to find it again. 5
HARVEST MOON 2004 (The autumnal blooms of clematis, chrysanthemum, narcissus, sunflower, sage and lily twined with Dionysus’ sacred grapes and ivy, a bounty of apple, pumpkin, and ripe berries, and the amaranth and lingum aloes of Janus, all touched by a gentle breath of festival woodsmoke and sweet wine.). This is not as ohmygodwonderful as the unknown imp, but it's still quite nice. The first time I put it on if had an unpleasant medicinal undertone for the first hour or so, but subsequent applications have not suffered that problem, so I think it's a keeper (which is good, since I have a 5ml bottle of it!) 4.5
PSYCHE (Bulgar rose, Chinese white musk, lavender, orchid and frankincense) This is a pleasant, deep, if somewhat forgettable perfume. It faded fairly quickly. It might be worth a second try, but I'm not sure. 3
PUMPKIN PATCH 5. This was too sweet out of the bottle, but fades to something pleasant -- not too foody, interesting. 3.5-4
TEMPEST (A crisp ozone-tinged breeze. The scent of the first gentle rain before the storm). It smells exactly like the description. No real change from the imp to my skin, either, even after several hours. Well, it faded a bit (obviously), but the scent is still the same, just not as strong. 4
