    Scorpio

    hmmm i could smell the violets before i even opened the imp i kept sniffing around looking for something i would expect violets to be in in the vial: man that is like a single not violet wet there is a metalic twang i usually only get from jasmine scents so i am guessing violet and possibly a touch of jasmine, altho the violet is the prominent note on me as it dries the metal like note goes away and it is a strong violet w/ a tiny smidge of i think cloves? or carnation. i love violets...i know yall have heard it before but man i love em

    Sin

    some sweet someone just sent me an imp of this thinking i might like it.... in the vial: red musk? huh? not what i was expecting at all wet: patchouli, cinnamon, goodness dries: into a mellow, beautiful earthy scent w/ a kick. it has something similar to the lion but w/ a major spicey knee to the groin thrown in. this is beautiful! and yes i will be ordering a big bottle thanks kmasden for the enabling.

    French Creole

    ok call me a freak but i get lime, when i open the bottle it is so lime, but not artificial lime like candy but a real fresh lime, and clove ok as it dries i am getting a pretty balanced blend of lime and clove w/ something that actually smells like soda? maybe dr pepper? very odd...i do not get florals, or bakery i get dr pepper w/ a lime twist and a clove garnish...definitely a different smell

    Chaste Moon 2005

    this is so weird, i sniffed, then scrolled reviews and thought no i must gave grabbed teh wrong bottle but alas it is chaste moon i am wearing in the bottle it is creamy vanilla ice cream. i didn't even get a hint of butterscotch *shrugs* wet: this smells very much like vanilla ice cream as it dries i almost get a berry scentmixed in w/ the ligh floral creaminess, i don't get the snow white association-snow white went plasticy and so did spooky but this stays nice and smooth, creamy but not too sweet. i am loving chaste moon.

    Nocturne

    after discovering sybaris, i went hnting for violets, so of course had to add nocturne to my wishlist, but alas no one had oen to swap, but beth gifted me w/ this gorgeous imp in my last order *yeep* in the vial, yeah baby that's what i'm talkin about! violets! wet: oh hell yeah violets, this differs from sybaris cause it isn't as sweet, but man that violet is AWESOME! dry: sigh, this is almost as gorgeous as sex! and may actually take over sybaris' spot, it is more grownup, and a bit darker then sybaris. i am drooling in the beauty!

    Silk Road

    this reminds me of the lion, and strength if they would sit down together and have lunch. it is grassy, and spicy, warm, gorgeous. there is cinnamon, and possibly a hint of clove, a touch of ginger, all mingling w/ that dried grassy smell i am starting to adore. this is complex, and completely me. i adore it i am seeing that someone compared it to 3 witches and in someways i can see why but the "dried grass" note makes it more like lion to me, man i can't stop sniffin my arm....i am loving this did i say that?

    Leanan Sidhe

    misty flowers YES! this is very very floral, a hint of green. this is a airy misty, floral, i want to say tulip or some such spring flower, it smells very springtime to me. this one is definitely a floral lovers dream.

    Moscow

    in the vial: hmmm tangarine? w/ a hint of rose wet: hello jasmine arrrgggh i wanted rose dry:lily comes out, and the tangarine is pretty strong so i am mostly getting a lily tanagrine blend, the rose is apparent occassionally, and amber seems to be hiding there, i am not a big lily or jasmine fan, w/o them this would be gorgeous. but alas off to swaps

    Brisingamen

    this is my favorite of the new scents so far. in the vial: amber and myrtle wet: amber amber and amber...yummy as it dries, amber is still the frontrunner, but keep getting slight catches of carnation, teh myrtle creates a grounding affect i am really liking and teh apple blossom keeps popping in and out, sometimes i smell it prominently sometimes it isn't there at all i want a big bottle

    Salomé

    in the vial and wet: seems like an almond single note as it dries the almond, as others have stated, evaporates, leaving behind a sharp jasmine, the musk is fighting w/ the jasmine for top spot (reminds me of sonny and cher both trying to be in the spot light, you think it is one and bam the other jumps in), all this w/ a lovely background base of sandalwood to referee the mele after a bit the jasmien takes a back seat and it is a lovely grounded scent i like much more then in teh jasmine stage., it is a spicy, sandalwood, musk,and a hint of something resinous. i like it after it dires and the jasmine fades away

    Santa Muerte

    in the vial: cocoa? yes definitely a chocolaty cocoa note, not a sweet cocoa though. wet: very very strong bitter cocoa (bitter in a nice way like unsweetened chocolate) there is a slight hint of something floral in the background but the top note is definitely cocoa, as it dries it still is mostly cocoa, w/ a hint of rose, a hint of something dry and herbal or grassy, i d not smell vetiver and i usually magnify vetiver, there is a hint of a floral i can't pinpoint but it is nice and mellow this is rich, deep, slightly floral although not a "classic" floral nice, it kind of reminds me of a cousin to DDL but it is deeper and less floral, and frankly i am unsure why it reminds me of DDL

    Rose Cross

    I love beth's rose blends. this is a summery rose, grounded by frankincense, the frankincense adds and earthy quality i love, i also get a hint of a dried grass type smell, this does smell almost like a sacred blend. all in all very very beautiful

    Feu Follet

    this is almost all jasmine on me, in the vial i could detect helitrope but on it and rose must have ran off for a trist cause this is all jamine, strong, harsh, give me a headache jasmine....i just can't get along well w/ jasmine *sigh*

    Maenad

    strawberry, carnation ,and a hint of drak poppy, it has an herbal tinge but that just adds to the mystery that ia maenad, this one is playful, fun, and sweet i am enjoying it greatly

    Yggdrasil

    yes, a breeze in the woods, not fall woods, but freshly green, spring woods, it did go a bit shapooesque but still smelled woodsy, like shampoo spilled in the woods.

    Hamadryad

    since 3 witches was dc'd i have been hording it like some crazy cinnamon lunatic, today i find hamadryad its very very similar in feel (which i wasn't expecting the site description made me think floral, not spice,) and while i detect a hint of floral that was not in 3 witches, the cinnamon, and clove are so gorgeous, it will be a great sub for my witches.

    Crucible of Courage

    I too wish this was available it is clean, but a warm clean, soft, sweet, honey and tea yumminess, there is a very faint touch of breath that is floral and all this lays in a soft, lush bed of dry herbs, but that is so fleeting i almost could miss it, all in all just a gorgeous blend. i want more *pouts*

    Xiuhtecuhtli

    hmmm floral? i didn't get floral at all in the vial i couldn't detect any smell at all wet it is still very very faint but i get a small whiff of vanilla maybe? a hnt of copal (white copal i believe) as it dries it becomes very incense, almost smells like burning leaves or pot but w/ a hint of creamy vanilla type something that softens it a tad, this is so ultra light and very beautiful it maybe a good bedtime scent for me

    Wolf's Heart

    yup yup dragons blood, and apparently my skin loves dragon's blood cause it amps it up in every blend containing it, i think i detect carnation? possibly ? and something a bit spicy but i am not sure it is cloves....all in all nice.

    Masquerade

    in the vial rosewood??? wet: i still smell rosewood most, infact it reminds me of intrigue, and a bit of ouija, although it may not be because of the scent possibly a bit of the feel of it? if that makes sense. as it dries i can detect a bit of teh carnation and neroli notes but it still seems mostly a resin scent (and i strongly think rosewood if u didn't get taht yet )

    Absinthe

    this one is herbal, a bit woodsy, and a lot of licorice i love black licorice the woodsy base keeps it from being too one demsional, i do not get teh lemon and mint (thank goodness) all in all very likeable and imho great fro warmer weather

    Wolfsbane

    Notorious for its properties for protection against werewolves and curing lycanthropy, this nefarious plant also has a fine history of use as a virulent poison. Clasically, Medea employed it in her many works of vengeance. This concoction of ours has none of the lethal qualities, but still personifies all of the herb's dark history beautifully. wet was all pine needles dry the pine stayed very strong, and i almost was gonna post it was like a pine single note when suddenly from out of nowhere it went rose. definitely not red rose, i am thinking white rose, and some green pines. nice i am not sure if i will want a big bottle but i will use the imp
