My Dragon Moon Order

Bottles:

Dragon Moon

I was hoping for something of a darker, more serpentine feel in notes (not watery in feel as what I would describe as watery tends to have mixed results on me) but I am excited by the prospect of the combination of tea leaf/dragon's blood resin/sandalwood, so I'll just wait and see how this turns out on my dastardly skin chemistry.

Pluto

I've been waiting to buy this for a long time. Not only do I have an unusual fondness for this planet in particular, but I'm also excited by the (very) widely ranged reviews on this one. I am a fan of 'metallic' notes, through many reviews on Pluto have also made this out to be semi-aquatic in feel. I have my fingers crossed...

Gypsy Queen

I was debating on whether to pick up Gypsy Queen or Snake Charmer and I chose Gypsy Queen. My skin chemistry has not had good results with black plum and coconut so I was iffy on Snake Charmer for this, but then again, many of the reviews for Gypsy Queen describe her as being heavily or primarily 'floral' (which my skin chemistry also has mixed results with) so there were possible cons here as well. But then again, Snake Charmer also had benzoin, arabian musk, and Egyptian amber, all of which I love, so I must admit that the choice to take Gypsy Queen over Snake Charmer into the shopping cart was more difficult than I'd originally anticipated. However, I am an incense fan, so the mention of incense in Gypsy Queen's description (and in the reviews) was ultimately the tipping point on the scale for me.

The Tell-Tale Heart

I have a decanted imp of this and love it, despite my initial weariness of the cocoa note in the description (the cocoa barely shows up at all, and what does show up is not a 'foody' cocoa note, if that makes sense). I purchased this with my Dragon Moon order to make sure I didn't forget to do so before the Maelstrom section goes down May 1st (yes, I'm so absent-minded as to actually do that ).

Imps:

Initially, I did plan to include a six-pack of catalogue imps with this order, but found I hadn't quite calculated Gypsy Queen into the scheme of things money-wise, so the poor, little imps just didn't make it into the shopping cart this time around.
