i think the october label is stunning

in the bottle: musky deep florals something slightly fruity wet: yes i believe it is a white floral, although i don't get jasmine...there isn't that rusty nail scent jasmine likes to do. it is mostly musk though, i am thinking red musk, but agree it could be a fruity maybe plum note mixed w/ a different musk, that is making me think red musk. it is definitely regal, and deep and dark, and even lush. reminding me of a deep, dark, royal purple velvet. as this dries the florals burn off and it becomes a musky slightly spicy skin scent, very sexy and alluring. this is a definite keeper. i love it!

in the bottle: fruity, sweet, clean. wet: yummy sweet candies, fruity candies to be exact, very light, dainty, yet elegant florals, very fragile smelling, slightly watery underneath. light, otherworldy, etheral, fragile, even twinkly, might describe this blend. there is softest of florals, something ever so slightly aquatic (mist), something like sugared melons, and a slightly smokey waft. but the smoke is not a heavy dark smoke it is light, almost clean yet not at all soapy. just a very gorgeous scent. very complex, very well blended.

inthe bottle: musky, rose,slightly sweet wet: still musky rose, but a bit sharper, and throw in some incense. hint of lily. as this dries it deepens, becomes more incensy, but still retains a hint of rose, heavier on the plum and the plum reminds me slightly of snake charmer. i also can detect the bees wax. this is indeed very sinister, deep, dark, yet gorgeous. i LOVE IT!

in the bottle:myrrh, something almost powdery, and hint of rose wet: strong myrrh, slightly spicey. rose background, hint of lilac as this dries it is a soft, spicy, resinous rose. very deep, kind of dark, and very sexy!

in the bottle: slight aquatic, not overbearingly so,and a woody note i am assuming is mahogany wet: woodier, definitely smell the cedar, and mohogany, back drop of aquatics there is something kinda spicy possibly it is the carnation. this is an amazingly complex blend, the laters are so intricate that even in a sniff one must concentrate to pick it apart as it dries it becomes alot more floral. i definitely smell the carnation and hint of something green, with a backdrop of woods, the aquatic is mostly gone at this point but occassionally it sneaks in to keep me on my toes. the spiciness of the carnation is the front runner, but there is a sweet dryness to it that i am wondering if it is the vanilla burbon combined w/ violet leaf? whatever it is this is another incredible prototype. just showcasing how amazing beth's talents are.

This just in: LA prisoners expell sigh of relief, after our celebutante is released, more pruno for the *real* prisoners, she kept flashing some expensive boobies to get the other prisoners to give up their share and everyone missed their hooch... As our media darling exits the building we get the hint of bartels and james wine coolers....maybe she got a good batch of the pruno. why, i do declare i belive the gaurds might have helped smuggle her in some classy champagne in a box, this doesn't smell at all like ketchup and nasty fruit...i have some investigating to do, but don't worry i shall get to the bottom of this. after doing some dumpster diving and digging through false eyelashes, shimmery lip gloss, and fake butt pads???? i have found a wine cooler, i can not reveal the name brand so i don't get sued..we know how these rich socialites love to sue. but the real story is this is no jail house pruno, no my friends we have had our legs pulled. this is beautiful fizzy white grape, a touch of alcoholic beverage for sure, and i believe in an attempt to throw us off this story they have thrown in tomato leaf, to fool us in to believing our genteel papparazzi prey was indeed imbibing in the aforementioned hooch, but alas i have uncovered the truch, just as in life she has had the privilege of drinking this fine smelling wine. it shouldn't surprise us, she has after all earned her way by being born in the lucky sperm club. stay tuned for more *news* from world reknown stalkerazzi, shelldoo out

NEWSFLASH: low speed chase, papparazzi in tow. in vehicle one we have overated, glammed up, soon to be crotch shot photography, a clean, fresh...not what the press was expecting folks, i was expecting something a bit more...i dunno fishy? we have stopped at a redlight and someone has rolled the window down to daintily flip me off...is that any way to treat the press i ask? after all we made you famous, didn't we? the culprit smells very, very, green, possibly like linden & hint of roses. clean slightly citrus. i am sure these girls are upto no good, what is it they are smoking back there. as the debutantes emerge, flashing smiles (and bits of nether regions) we can tell who the true blondes are and who the real fire crotch is, we also can smell the lovely scent of spoiled brats, it is classic florals my friends, soft, clean florals, trying to deceive us into believeing their on screen innocence i believe, i am not buying it though as i have seen those video tapes...you know the ones. so don't let the sweetsie, cutesie smiles and nice smelling perfume fool ya, these girls are debauchery personified...if only they didn't smell so good.

in the vial:fresh, watery, almost melon like. wet: it is very watery, fruit like. as it dries it becomes more floral and less watery there is a touch of greeness but i am thinking fresh green moss, not stems. it is somewhat on the clean side. for those who like fresh, clean, watery, florals this will be a winner.

in the vial:light, sweet floral wet: very light, fresh boquet of flowers, as it dries not typical spring floral type boquet, more like a soft fresh boquet of wild flowers, yes victorian definitely springs to mind. soft, close to the skin. this is very feminine, almost fragile, reminds me a bit of flowers being crushed under foot. did i say soft?

Pink pepper, golden amber, honeysuckle, and passion flower. in the vial:mmmm yummy pink pepper, andthe fruitiness of passionflower wet: strong pink pepper, and something that reminds me of saffron or sandalwood. as it dries this has a strong amber note, it is reminding me slightly of the lion, the peppery smells adds a new demension to the lion and there is a hint of sweetness form the passionflower. not getting honeysuckle from this, but i adore it greatly

in the vial:sweet, faint, clean hint of vanilla wet:man how yummy this is! tonka and benzoin are the most obvious and something faintly floral. this ends up a soft, sweet vanillay (tonka) blend, there is a hint of musk, a hiont of floral, but tonka is the most prominent. it is simply gorgeous!

yes i agree donna, Spirit of the Komachi Cherry Tree, is very lilac on me

i wore samhain 04, i was married the end of oct. and it was just perfect, not to mention one of my top 10

in the vial: sage, and a hint of lemon grass, and a splash of lavander wet: sage and lavander as it dries it is more bay, lemongrass, sage and lavander, this reminds me of a walk in an herbal store. i like it alot.

in the vial: verbena and juniper, sweet and fresh wet: verbena, strong verbena, and an herbal background after a couple minutes i get a bit more nutmeg mixed in w/ the verbena, not really getting the juniper, but the lavander is flitting in and out. all in all i'd say this is light, fresh, herbal. strong on the verbena and ther other notes just popping in and saying hello occassionally. this is a sunny, bright scent

in the bottle, soft musk and leather. wet strong leather scent, and a hint of musk as it dries it becomes so soft, w/ a hint of sweetness and leather. if i concentrate i can pick apart each individual component, but really it is just a well worn comfortable den chair where you sit and just relax. i love this scent so much it is the one i chose to wear today on it's own, after the reviews were done.

i actually didn't think this would be a scent i would reach for often, but omg is this awesome. it is laying on a plush yard, looking up at the clouds picking out shapes in the sky. so innocent, so warm. i can almost feel the warmth imminating from the bottle, feel the prickly grass poking through my clothes to tickle my flesh. this is gonna be worn as my lazy summer day scent.

in the bottle: soft, almost powdery wet: something in this is reminding me of numb. yup this is numb's sister. anyone missing numb should check this out edit to ad lol i didn't even read the above review, and even had to go sniff through my l.e. box to see which le it reminded me of, if only i would have read hers, mine would have takne less effort.

in the bottle: coffe bean, something sweet, i believe it is the tobbacco. wet: coffee, and something slightly cologne like hint of cinnamon this is soft, cinnamon coffee, i am thinking cappiccino w/ a dusting of cinnamon on top. the dry woods have something very masculine coming through, but not in a *this is a man's scent* way , so much as this is cuddling up in my man's shirt, by a fire, in the study, w/ a big mug of coffee, waiting for him to come home from a trip.

in the bottle: fruity, creamy, smells kinda like black cherry yogurt. wet: cherry bubblegum. dry: dark fruits. malicious fruits. dusting of something sweet to lure you in before it gets you.

in the bottle: flowers, namely rose, & violet wet: roses, and violets. hint of apple blossom and poppy. this is a summery floral. nice change from spring florals. it reminds me of a very sophisticated woman, in a billowy flowery sun dress, and huge floral sun hat, sitting in a shady spot overseeing her garden party.

in the bottle: peppermint. actually smells like a york peppermint patty. wet: yup york peppermint patty. since everyone is comparing i shall also. lickit was a sweet candy cane, snowblind was a buttermint, soft vanilla hint of peppermint. and t.s. is the smooth creamy inside of a york peppermint patty, absulotely delicious, and stays true through every stage. after a long dry down, of a couple hours, it becomes and uber soft vanilla, the mint burns off, and the vanilla is soft, sweet, innocent smelling, and totally up my alley

in the bottle: faint, desserty scent. wet: woods. strong, dry wood. w/ a hint of patchouli, and something peppery. as it dries, it is peppery and woody, and dark. a scent i definitely can see myself wearing. the only time i get any of teh foody/sweet scents is in teh bottle, and i never get apricot.

in the bottle:carnations? something is wonky w. my nose i swear. i am gussing it is the myrrrh making my nose think carnations wet:deep black musk, and myrrh, the carnation feel is gone as soon as it hits my skin, and it becomes prominently musk as this dries it is a musky, myrrh, w/ a hint of balsam. a dark swarthy scent, gorgeous and mysterious. oh just adding i don't get teh masculine thing, this is just a deep resinous scent, and some of us gals sport it w/o feeling at all masculine *shrugs*
