Voodoo lily.......oh dear. I was pretty excited about this one. I really like lily scents, but I'm also into spicy, muskier scents as well. So this one should have been perfect, right? Everybody should have said "Oh goodness, you're sooooo sexy" as soon as it hit my wrist, right??? Sadly, no. Everybody said I smelled like an old lady. One of those really old, leathery, kind of weird old ladies that sit in darkened rooms and knit never-ending scarves while her 8 cats fend for themselves. ....yeah, I have pretty specific friends. But for the record, I liked it. I thought it smelled spicy and exotic, with a sexy, wet floral base. I thought it was delicious! Maybe I'll just keep it around to wear on days when I'm being a homebody. I can just be all sexy and mysterious at myself, and be perfectly happy doing so.

I got it as a frimp in my very first order, and it is absolutely positively my favourite scent so far. I adore lily scents, and this one totally blew me away. On my skin it's mostly lily, with definite clove and vanilla notes to warm it up and make it deliciously exotic. Every time I wear it I feel completely feminine and sexy. It's soft and florally enough for my girly moments, but packs enough spice and zing to spur me into any sort of trouble I might want to get into.....

This one didn't like me as much. In the bottle it smelled warm and vanilla-y and wonderful, but as soon as it touched my wrists, it was all powder, all the time. Definitely not one for me. However, it made for a lovely and relaxing bath oil. Honestly, I wanted to stay in there forever.

After reading these reviews, I feel almost guilty for not liking this one. I got it as an extra imp in my order, and in general I'm not one for super fruity scents and this was no exception. It smelled very sugary and at first I thought I could handle it if I were feeling young and innocent one day. However, after about 30 minutes I reminded myself of an industrial-type air freshener. Sort of like a bathroom in an airport. I'm so ashamed....
