Wet it's opium and narcisus. It's hipnotic and obscure, quite toxic! Drying down the tuberose comes out, making it sensual too; I can also feel the poppy, but it's very subtle. It remembers me Gaultier's Fragile. Sexy and narcotic indeed.

Wet it's musk, smoke and ambergris with a touch of leather and tobacco. No sweet or creamy in my skin, it's almost minty (maybe some vetiver? I'm not sure). Masculine and rich. Dry the leather and tobacco go stronger, but it has something poignant that I can't put my finger on.

Wet: no almonds or mazipan, but a creamy coconut note (like the I Should Coco soap from Lush, I'm not kidding)... maybe maple syrup. It's subtle and light, with a very soft green touch (peppermint?) and white musk (everything is maybe in this scent, so light and etereal). Even melancholic. It's special and reconforting, but not warm. If it was a stone, it would be opal.

Those lovely flowers belong to my memories of my childness in Switzerland. This is a very emotive perfume for me, delicious and makes me remember lovely things with an intensity that almost makes me cry. It's the scent of flowers in the snow, perfectly bottled; I smell cala lily, lily of the valley, crocus and snow.

Wet it's jasmine and lily of the valley, with bergamot and tangerine in the second line. Dry rose and carnation come out, making it a round and subtle floral. Lovely, a winter's big bottle.

Wet it's clove and spices with incense and a drop of violet. Dry the violet and the tonka bean come out. Oh but it's lovely! Such a warm, smooth and sexy scent! P.S. Matches Skinny Dip (Lush) very well.

It's rum, vanille and cookies. Maybe a rum ice-cream. Sweet but not cloying, fun and different, playful. It's so eatable... and makes me wish to travel to pirate seas! But not as strong as I had imagine for pirates' rum. Awesome lasting power on my skin.

It's a spicy floral on my skin, very special, with romantic and independence feelings at the same time. Beautiful and complex. May I dare to guess some notes? Red musk, ginger, clove and a touch of dragon's blood, maybe carnation too. It remembers me the sky just before the first firework.

Wet all the airy notes come out: ozone, metal and bamboo in cheeky way. The bamboo is green and unique, standing in the first line screaming "Here I am!", with the cherry blossom following it but in a very shy way. Dry all the flowers come out, this is the cherry blossom turn, along with the orchid (I could bet it's white orchid), and as the flowers go down a bit it remains a light and bright perfume. Just precious.

I smell orange blossom, saffron, clove and cinnamon almost for sure. Maybe bergamot, ginger or orange peel too? It's an oriental scent, but not a classic one. It's exotic, sexy and smoothes with skin like heaven. As it has been said before, it gives the impression of an expensive perfume, with a luxury feeling. Like a silk sahri in purple and orange with gold lines and flowers. Lovely indeed.

I find it herbal with some flowers (roses, lotus... can't put my finger on it), maybe some mint? I don't know what is this one made of, but it makes me feel tricky, kinky and makes me want to be evil and chaotic (even just a bit). Dry it goes serious and deep, with a woody touch. Lovely scent, as every voodoo blend I've tried so far. A big bottle for me. ETA: Thank you very much to the Lab. Somehow they must have felt that I've got a black cat at home!

Wet it's orange blossom and Peru balsam with some cumin. It's bittersweet and for a moment I think I can smell chocolate (?). Complex and interesting, but not dark or strong at all in my skin! Dry the musk comes along with colver, tobacco and cumin going stronger; maybe some mint?. The spices are stronger and it goes more masculine, but it isn't a strong scent as I have thought. I find it somehow soft and quite unisex.

Nice blend of sandalwood and patchouli, with a rose touch that grows as it dries down. It's rose with something more, something that makes it spicy, interesting and very up-close to the skin.

I really wanted this one to work well on me, but sadly a nice bouquet in the flower shop doesn't smell quite the same on the skin. It's complex and none of the notes develope completely... Oh sadness" I'm going to blame the wisteria.

The Lab sent me this one with my order, so thank you very much! It's dark, strong and almost masculine wet. Opium and myrrh going out in the first line, with the almost green, dry and spicy touch of the opium balancing the sweetness of the myrrh. Slowly narcissus comes, and the scent goes softer (just a bit softer). So strong and evolving, sexy and dark... don't wear it if you want to pass near someone unnoticed.

Wet it's intense jasmine over a layer of myrrh. It's quite like Flying Fox, from Lush. Stays perfect, strong and true. Incredible lasting power.

Wet it's ginger, fig and cyclamen in my skin. It's quite complex, and has a lot of layers to be descovered. Dry the tonka bean and the roses come out, ending with the cypress and patchouli bottom notes. Roses and ginger over all, a lovely scent worth to be discovered.

Complexe and complicated. Wet it's grapefruit with patchouli and cardamom, over a dense and mixed bottom line. Drying the pepper and the vetivert come out, then sage and cedar and, at last, violet. Very nice, it changes and evolves a lot... quite a contradiction for something as simple as the Lex Talionis.

Precious and perfect blend of roses and narcissus. Strong, not to be overlooked, captures the atention without any doubt. Narcissus gives it a dark tone, balancing the rose's acid point and with a smoky bit. Lovely, not girly and quite personal.

The lovely Jezebel873 added this one in my swaps parcel (thank you very much). I can't pick up a note without the others, it all comes out mixed. The fruity touch of the lotus is there, and also the mint and the juniper. It's light and fresh, not quite the dark side of water in me...

A profound, complex scent that encapsulates the joy one finds in another's pain. Ylang ylang, clove, Indonesian red patchouli, and dark myrrh. Wet it's myrrh and ylang-ylang; the clover helps it from being too sweet. Dry it's almost the same, very true. It's interesting and really good, oriental and warm.

Wet it's ylang-ylang and patchouli, followed by myrrh and musk. Dry it changes a bit, making it more interesting and "mature" (if it makes any sense). The musk is dry and very elegant at the end. An oriental perfume, almost classique, simple and smooth.

Evil incarnate. Revel in your dark side with this romantically cruel scent. Contains red patchouli and vetivert. I'm in love (again). Dark, misterious and incredibly sexy as viciousviolet said. And exotic, balanced and a bit dry too. Perfect. Patchouli with the dry touch of vetivert, dark and smoky. Unisex, warm and with an earthy touch. Wonderful. I need a big bottle (again).

I wish I had known this one before... I love it! Wet it's cinnamon and clove, dry the pepper comes out. The perfect winter perfume, soft and warm with a dry bottom line. *runs away crying* ETA: I finally got a bottle of this one! *drools* *covets*

This was a gift from the lab, so thank you very much! I smell nectar and white linen drying under the sun. Nice as a home scent, but not just me...
