In the bottle: Uh oh. Is that civet? Also musk, spicy and dark, if the civet isn't there I'll probably love it. First on: Nope, that's definitely civet, and already I'm smelling like spoilt milk. I can still pick up a hint of the original scent, but it's mostly just civet. Drydown: Dear god, I can smell this from far away, and it makes me want to vomit. Had to wash it off.

A commanding, dominant oil that increases sexual magnetism, creates an intense and irresistible air of attraction, and amplifies potency. In the bottle: cinnamon, maybe dragon's blood, and some florals First on: This is similar to Wildfire, only with cinnamon instead of woods. It's a slight sweetness overtone that covers the cinnamon underneath. I like it so far. Drydown: Cinnamon, dragon's blood, and that cola thing people have talked about. I really like it.

In the bottle: Rose, musk, and the lavender is very acidic First on: The lavender has calmed now and is balanced with the rose, and the other florals are starting to show. Like someone said though, it is rather powdery. Drydown: It's a nice powdery floral, but nothing really strikes me as special about it.

In the bottle: Patchouli & grapes First on: I'm not getting a head shop so much as I am rotting dirt. It's sweet but flat, and unfortunately makes me almost nauseus. Drydown: It's still dirt, but it's more of a sweet dirt instead of a rotting one now. Still off to swaps from me, but it wasn't bad enough to wash off.

In the bottle: light musks & a touch of florals First on: Where did it go? I seriously can't smell a damn thing, even though my nose is touching the wet skin on my hand. Drydown: It's back to what it was in the bottle, mostly musk with some soft florals. I like it, but it's not exactly my style.

In the bottle: Fig & vetiver. This is the first fig scent I've really gotten, I can't tell if I like it yet. First on: this hit its sweet phase on me right away. I can smell mostly figs and dates, and I really like it. I want to keep sniffing myself. Yet for some reason while I love the smell, I'm not sure if I want to smell like it. If that makes sense. Drydown: This is still the same. I was hoping for something darker, especially with the vetiver I smelled in the bottle. It's a nice blend of fruits in the date/fig/I swear I smell plum or apple too. It's not smoky or dark on me in the least, but is instead a nice purple fruit like scent.

In the bottle: It's described perfectly. It's ozone with a metallic tang, with a bit of fruit behind it. First on: There's something in this that reminds me of Wolf Moon. Pretty much just how it smelled in the bottle. Drydown: The cherry blossom is more noticeable, and the ozone tang has calmed down a bit. There's still an overtone of the metallic aquatics, but the real scent behind it is the cherry and plum. They're jsut hard to find. I like it, but it's not strong enough of a scent for me to keep.

In the bottle: Rose, but with something sweet, and something sour. First on: It's all roses on me. I can tell there's something else in it, but I can't smell it enough to really tell. It's a baby powder rose, but the something else just seems to be dampening the potential of the rose, not adding to it. Drydown: The overtone of the rose has gone not quite sour, but almost there. There's jsut something in this that really doesn't agree with me.

In the bottle: ? It's sweet. Why is Fallen sweet? It's very floral. First on: Musk, myrrh (?), sandalwood, this is more along the lines of what I was thinking. It's very lovely, but there seems to be something creating a generic perfumy scent with me. Hopefully it goes away. Drydown: Unfortunately for me, it's returned to that floral state. It's a really nice floral, not too sweet, not too strong, it's a light floral that has depth. I'm just not much of a floral person.

In the bottle: This is a very green scent. Like grass & little flowers in a meadow. First on: Like synique, this becomes a creamy musk on me. I can still smell the floral grasses, but musk has come up to the front. It's not a scent I would normally give a second thought to, but I really like it. Drydown: This is a pale creamy green scent now, almost like a pastel green. It's a light musk, with the grassy scents in the back. It's very clean, yet not crisp at all. I do really like it, but I rarely wear clean scents, so I'll have to cull the imps and find out which ones I have that I like the best.

In the bottle: Sweet dragon's blood, not the resinous stuff. Crap I just got some on my nose. First on: The musks are playing around, but aren't overpowering, which is nice. The DB has filtered to the background, which is unusual for it. Drydown: I can barely, if at all smell the DB. The musks are taking a turn for the worse right now. I don't know which musk it is that turns pee smelled on me, but it's in here. Thankfully I think it's a temporary thing, because I quickly put htis on yesterday, and when I sniffed myself periodically, I never noticed the pee smell. I might have to layer more DB on with it, but in general I like it.

In the bottle: Juniper, that's what I can distinguish. It's a bit airy almost, which is odd considering the strong gravitational pull of Jupiter. First on: Orange? No, but it does smell vaguely like some Body Shop fragrance I used to have. It's almost citrusy, yet still woodsy without smelling like wood. I can't even describe it. It's not really what I figured Jupiter would smell like, but it's nice. Very faint though. Drydown: I can barely smell it, but what I can smell hasn't changed.

In the bottle: That would be some strong citrus and vetiver combination goin on. First on: It's definitely a more woodsy fragrance, with the darkness of vetiver and a top note of tangerine. It blends together beautifully, but for right now it's a bit too masculine on me. Drydown: The tangerine has left the building, leaving woodsy and vetiver. Nice, but not for me.

In the bottle: A very alcohol smelling blend, and I mean perfumer's alcohol here. It's definitely everything I'd expect in an eastern incense. First on: Mostly cedar now, with some saffron. It's like those natural incense blocks that have chunks of wood in them. Drydown: Ok, it's all cedar. I would love for a man to wear this. I might have to keep it so when I find a man, I can douse him in it. It's a bit too woodsy for me to wear and not seem too masculine, but I definitely love it. It's like a fireplace fire made of cedar smell.

In the bottle: Tea, milk, and a bit of ginger First on: I can barely smell it. I think it's hte milk hiding it, but I can catch whiffs of ginger, tea, and pepper. Drydown: It's pretty much staying the same. It's nice, and if it were stronger I'd wear it a lot, but I have to search for it on my skin.

In the bottle: Mmmm..... cinnamon & almond... First on: Cinnamon, a bit of almond for an almost alcoholic scent, and some smokiness. I'm in love. Drydown: My arm is a little pink, which is odd for me since I almost always wear strong cinnamon scents. This is tons of cinnamon, and I love it! I still get the almond and the spice, so it's kind of like a liquored red hot. Must get more.

In the bottle: Apples, Irish moss, and soap First on: I smell like a potpourri room spray. I can pick out apples, moss, and a spice of some sort, but the general effect is like I'm wearing Glade. Drydown: The spice has gone away, and it's back to the apples and moss, which really is a gorgeous combination, but I can't help but feel like I sprayed myself with the air freshener.

In the bottle: aquatics, yet fresh like a new rain. It's a bit salty with some light florals as well. First on: Definitely florals, almost like wysteria flowers. It's still salty and aquatic, but not a typical aquatic scent. It is definitely a fitting name, I can picture a large sea like place where the top is made of glass, almost like it's frozen over. Drydown: It got all soapy on me. I'll keep the imp to wear on hot days when I need a bit of freshness, but I don't think it's going to be a favorite.

In the bottle: definitely violet & vetiver, but there's something sour in it as well. First on: That sourness is still there. I think I'd like it if it weren't for that. Hopefully it's not in the civet family. Drydown: It's not gone spoilt milk on me, but that sourness is still there. Maybe a dark musk or ambergris? Either way, it's unfortunately not for me.

In the bottle: Wine, myrrh, rose. I was hoping for more of a femine version of Djinn, hopefully it'll go all smokey. First on: It's mostly wine & rose now, with a sourness like tobacco lingering in the background. Drydown: Aw, it's all wine & roses on me. It's nice, but not at all what I was hoping for. It's like Lady M, but with rose instead of berries.

In the bottle: Florals with something darker, lurking beneath. Probably the myrrh. First on: Ooh, where did this smokiness come from? Like a wood smoke, with some light florals on top to trick you into thinking it's nice. Drydown: Spicy wood, a bit of smoke, and a floral top to it. I really like this one, and from the description I wasn't so sure. Yay!

In the bottle: Florals, heavy rose, with a sweetness in the background. First on: This smells like a candy shop to me, with floral candies like those lavender pastilles. This is what I would imagine a candy shop like Willy Wonka's to smell like (only without the chocolate) Drydown: It still has a hint of the candy smell, but is now mostly floral. I like it, but I wouldn't wear it.

In the bottle: It's sort of a clean shower smell, or like rain scented incense. First on: It's still the clean shower smell. It's a nice fresh scent that still has mystery and depth to it. Definitely good for summer days to feel fresh & clean yet still not so innocent. Drydown: It's the same scent, but has definitely faded a lot, and that clean smell has given way to the darker smokiness (but it's not smokey).

In the bottle: MINT! That's about it. First on: The pennyroyal is definitely in the front, but I can smell a slight hint of lavender. It's a medicinal mint. Drydown: I still can't smell the lavender unless I look for it, it's stayed a fairly true medicinal mint. I prefer it to other mint blends, but it's not for me.

In the bottle: Almost medicinal, but I can tell it's the red patchouli. I think I can also detect a bit of myrrh. First on: OMG i'm in love. Clove, myrrh & a hint of red patchouli. It's very dark & heady, which makes me think of a mysterious woman in a long tight black dress. You can see her in the shadows in an alleyway, not knowing if she's friend or foe. Mmmmm...... Drydown: This is like when I layer Darkness and Three Witches. MUST HAVE!! It hasn't changed from above, but I love it even more. I jsut want to sniff myself a lot.
