    Chaos Theory IV: Edge of Chaos

    CLXIII (163) Sweet but smoky - there's definitely a hint of vetiver in there. Definitely a winner. I cannot stop smelling my wrists. It smells exactly like a smoldering fireplace but with sweetness and some spice. Like if you burned some spices on top of a wood fire, but sweeter. I suck at picking out notes but I want to say there's some red wine type scent in there, that's what the sweetness is like - sweet but deep and dark and yummy. I wish I had ordered more CTs now.

    Harlot

    This is all roses all the time on me. At one point I got a tiny hint of the cinnamon, but then it was back to roses. I only really like rose scents if they are a little bit dark and corrupted, and I was hoping the cinnamon would do that here, but there's not enough of it for me.

    Golden Priapus

    I love Vanilla and Amber. And the vanilla and amber smell lovely, except for the fact that they've been smacked over the head by a Christmas Tree. It's a very conflicted scent on me. I love the smell of a good pine tree around the holidays, but I don't want to smell like one, and I don't want some of my favorite notes (vanilla and amber) corrupted by one.

    Bien Loin D'Ici

    I love this. It's very intriguing. It smells sweet and deep and SO sexy. There's something a little bit wrong about it, but in a good way, in a way that makes it totally sexy. Definitely not really a daytime scent, but I would feel so hot wearing it at night.

    Ave Maria Gratia Plena

    I had almost the same exact experience with this as Delirium1009. It is extremely powdery on me. Not really baby powder, but like an old fashioned pink powder puff powder (if that makes any sense). Like a really generic floral powder. Not good at all.

    Tiki King

    I adore this. It started out super-lemony and I was afraid but quickly the coconut and muskiness came out and only a hint of lemon stayed. It smells like warm skin sitting in the sun with a tropical drink and some lemon juice in your hair.

    Tiki Queen

    I get very sweet tropical florals. Like smooth and warm candied flowers. Much sweeter than I expected - I love vanilla and coconut and was hoping for those to be more prominent - I can't smell them at all, I think they are what give it that smooth warm feeling. Even without the vanilla and coconut this is really nice - not going to order a second bottle before they go down but I'll definitely be wearing this a fair amount in the summer. I tested it on one wrist, with Tiki King on the other and getting whiffs of them both floating up at me makes me think I might try wearing these together....smells like a flowery tropical beach.

    Nosferatu

    It starts out all grass and moss and dirt one me but slowly the wine comes out and it takes on a sort of sweet yet dusky and dark scent. It is addictive - I cannot stop smelling my wrists when I have it on and it makes me feel totally sexy, but in a completely different way from something like Vixen which is more blatantly "sexy" on me. Nosferatu is more of a languorous sexy, if that makes sense. For some reason it is just associated with the word languorous to me. I love this - it makes me want to bite my own wrists!! ETA: It fades really fast - I thought it was because the first time I tested it I didn't put much on - but after a full wear it faded super fast too. I still love it though.

    Arcana

    At first, its very lemony, but not pure lemon. It smells like lemon mixed with a green herbal scent, but not foody herbs. As time goes on it went through a chemically lemon scent, but ended up a nice soft lemon with a hint of herbs. I don't love it but it could be good in warmer weather. I think I'll revisit in the summer.

    Calico Jack

    At first, smells like "Men's Cologne" - like the stereotypical scent of a dude wearing cologne. I get the salt and wood more as it dries, but the cologne smell is still strongest. It fades very quickly and is nicer once it's less strong - I don't find it offensive or anything, but I don't think it's something I would ever wear.

    Maenad

    I agree with those who say it smells like a kids toy. The first thing I thought of was Strawberry Shortcake the doll/character. It's like a fake strawberry smell with a hint of plastic. I don't hate it as it really reminds me of childhood, but I definitely don't want to smell like a strawberry scratch n' sniff sticker every day.

    Haunted

    I Haunted. It's mostly amber on me - very sweet and warm and a little bit powdery. I expected it to be darker based on the musk and the name, but it's more like cozy warmth to me than anything dark. Reminds me of the glow of a fireplace in a dark room.

    Vixen

    Very sexy. The orange definitely comes out in the orange blossom, but the ginger and patchouli keeps it from being too fresh and sunny. As it dries the oranges fade some and all three notes blend together and it becomes completely sexy and beautiful, and not heavy. Its like my ideal lacy black lingerie - super sexy, but comfy and not obvious. Love.
