JOYFUL MOON

White musk, French vanilla, ambrette seed, frankgipani, angelica root, white rose, orris, and honeysuckle.

No white rose for me, especially with orris. Powdery soapy city.

LIBERTY

Liberty was created for the CBLDF, inspired by Eugène Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People: frankincense, beeswax, olive blossom, chamomile, sampaguita, magnolia, apple blossom, gunpowder, and smoke.

Nope.....not really in a floral mood, and beeswax might be honeyish.

Rappaccini's Apiary:

No honey for me! Thanks anyway!

MOONSHINE AND MIST

Ethereal, otherworldly, delicate: ambergris, white musk, water violet, ylang ylang, magnolia, and white sandalwood.

Ehh.....somewhat on the floral, papery/powdery side? I mean, I like white musk sometimes, it's not my favorite, but I can wear it. But white sandalwood is usually papery to me, and all these things together.....just don't call out to me.

OLD DEMONS OF THE FIRST CLASS

Siberian musk, black clove, opoponax, tonka, black pepper, and neroli.

Definitely want to try this! I have often coveted the Siberian Musk single note, never got to try it, and besides that the rest of those notes sound great too. Sometimes black pepper turns on me.....well, so does clove, sometimes, for that matter......but this is very much worth a try.

THE DEATH-HORSE

Lily of the Valley and opopponax.

I generally stay away from most lilies, because they turn into sharp soap of the apocolypse. I don't know, though, the simplicity appeals to me, and I think I do like opopponax. Could be worth a sniff but I'm not going far out of my way to find it.

THE GRAVE-PIG

Fig, oakmoss, mushroom caps, and patchouli.

This doesn't call out to me, despite being potentially dude-fume, which I usually do seek out. But I'm not a fan of mushrooms in any form (scent or taste), and oakmoss can be overwhelming at times. Could be worth a try.

BEER FROM THE MARSH WOMAN'S BREWERY

A beer flavored with marsh arrow grass, yew berries, purple foxglove, and giant hogweed.

Hmph. Another scent that is not calling to me, but who knows....it could be worth a try. Herbs and beer? Wow. Just can't picture it.

THE NIGHT-RAVEN

Indigo musk, wild plum, rose geranium, benzoin, night-blooming jasmine, and patchouli.

Even though I'm intrigued by indigo musk, I'm probably going to let this one pass by. I just don't like rose geranium. I do already have a dark purple-y Chaos Theory that I really like, so I'll just stick with that.

THE OLD GOBLIN

A crown of hardened ice and polished fir-cones.

Pine in any form gets my attention, so I really do want to try this. Snowball Fracas had some kind of sharp ammonia-like note, so that would be the only potential problem here, if this scent has it too.

CAT ALLINGHAM

Distilled shadows, a bleak desert landscape at midnight: Myroswelia balsam, gaïac wood, obsidian musk, green cumin, patchouli, myrrh, Siamese benzoin, frankincense, champaca, and sand.

Oh, crud. This one, sadly, does call out to me, and I'm unlikely to get to try it. It sounds good....kind of like a fancy schmancy relative of Oblivion.
