I didn't like Tiger Lily the first time I tried it. Since then I've learned a bit more appreciation for scents. This lily isn't soapy, heachache inducing, or overpowering - just sweet, warm, spicy flowers.

Embalming fluid was lemony, clean and fresh smelling. There's something else in there that didn't agree with my nose, though, and I think it's the tea.

From all the great reivews I thought I'd love White Rabbit. Wrong! It smells SOUR. I don't think it's the milk either, milk notes are usually fine on me. Powdery, weird, nose wrinkling, nails on a blackboard WRONG.

Obatala is okay but kind of buttery. Light and yet...it's like the component shortening has. I love the idea of coconut milk but this one gives me a headache and a wash-off-immediately impulse.

The Hanging Gardens is gooood. It's a really deep scent. I can smell the fruit and florals, but there's also something spicy and woody.

I loved Yerevan in the imp. It smelled gorgeous, sweet and fruity and faintly floral. However the fruitiness quickly disappeared on my skin and left a cleaning bubbles-like smell. I'm starting to think apricot doesn't like me.

I wanted to love Katharina but she smelled like Lysol cleaner on me.

This scent is so lovely, warm, and comforting. Smokey honeyed vanilla with fruity dragon's blood resin. I may have to get a bottle.

Bewitched is really green and fresh wet on my wrist. As it dries, the berry sweetness comes out more, but it's a tart, wild berry kind of sweetness. There's s a point in the drydown where the musk is dominant. At this point I think I can smell the tea, too. Musk and I don't always agree, but the notes in Bewitched are compelling together.

The lavendar really dominates at first, then settles down and blends in with the other notes. This is definately a cool scent, it's the opposite of warm and comforting. I like sad scents, but right now I'm iffy about that sandlewood. This really ages well. It reminds me a little bit of a cooler Mouse's Long and Sad Tale. I think this is going on my bottle list.

Buttery. Spicy. Fruity. Sweet. Foody. Not too foody though. Love it. Have a bottle. I used to wear slather it on in the morning to make english class and waking up in general more bearable. People would always sniff the air and start looking around. "Something smells reeeally good".

Cake, vanilla-ish, creamy and sweet. Jammy. I really thought I would enjoy smelling like cake. But unfortunately not this one.

Mouse is sweet and sharp at the same time - must be the sweetpea? After a while, it becomes a faint, wistful vanilla. Reminds me of Antique Lace. Certain vanilla and floral combinations smell really wrong to me.

Absurd! Green mango, fig, patchouli and green tea. Wet: bubblegum. Dry: Fruit, wood shavings. Light and tangy. I couldn't smell the patchouli at all.

O started out kind of honey almondish. I thought it smelled similar to Dana O'Shee, only with more honey. However, the amber started making an appearance after little bit. Surprise, O really does smell like sex. Like when your brain sort of freezes up with heady longing. That kind. Then it faded to a sweet, powdery smell.

Baron Samedi smelled like coca-cola wet. It dried down to a dark, smoky, heavy scent. Very bitter. I didn't like it.

I was really hoping Midnight Kiss would be cocoa and flowers, it smelled really lovely and sweet in the imp, but on my skin the patchouli came out and kind of dominated the other notes.

Moscow was all jasmine on me, my skin amps jasmine like nobody's business - and I don't even like jasmine.

I didn't like the imp I received of Fairy Market. It was too sharp and strong and headache inducing. But I recently bought a bottle and like it much better. It smells floral and rather grassy in the bottle, but not on my skin. I get soft, powdery incense, lavendar, and something vaguely sugary. I usually don't like incense but this blend was balanced enough by the other notes that it wasn't a problem. I wonder if aging it makes the incense more prominent. It's quite pretty and I will be keeping this bottle. Hopefully it doesn't change too much.

Wet: Cherries. Dry: Floral soap.

In the imp Tamora smelled sweet and fruity. On my skin it was sweet vanilla, and something sharp and woody. And playdoh. No fresh peaches for me.

To me patchouli just smells like incense, and Siren smelled like too-strong incense. I was looking foward to the ginger, but if Siren has any ginger, it's old, powdered, and dusty. I really hated this one.

Dirty smells clean, and fresh, like flowers after a rainstorm. It reminds me a bit of The Unicorn, only more aquatic and not as sweet.

I love The Unicorn. I don't really know why, but I do. I've got a bottle of it. The herbs fade a little on the drydown. It's not sweet at all. Floral, really clean, ethereal. Slightly soapy, but it's the type of soap I'd like to smell like. My friends and relatives don't really get all the fuss I make about it. But that's ok, because The Unicorn is all mine.

Kinda...weird. Tart berries with an undercurrent of sharpness. That goes away after a while, and you're left with a berry smell. Wild berries, kind of sour. Not really a wearable scent imo.
