    Milk Moon 2007

    First there is a pineapple blast, and after ten minutes the warm milk develops deliciously on the skin, mixing with the fruits notes. It stays true from the start to the end and it`s the best milk cup I`ve ever had near to a fruits basket. Amazing. Throw is minimal on me and stay is average. I completely love it, but it`s crucial to be a milk gourmand to appreciate this work of art.

    Gooey Pillowcase Atmospheric Spray

    This is really chocolate fugde floating in a sea of melted marshmallow together with cookies I can`t believe how good it is, and it`s so strong that I can smell it right from the bottle! It`s the foody ultimate perfume. I put it in a cotton pad left on the computer to be warmed and it smells sooo good and strong.

    Irrelevant and Disturbing Surreal Crawdad Dream

    I`m a fan of all the notes, and I must say that this blends gets better and better with age. The initial blueberry-tea blast is still tart and fresh, and the drydown with ginger first and vanilla in the end it`s spettacular and incredibly long. It was so good that I couldn`t layer it with any other scent. This is fun from the start to the end.

    The Hanging Gardens

    Wet is my beloved pear note mixed with florals, and when it starts to dry the plum and the pomegranate notes from Dionisia really stand out, making this blend juicy and kaleidoscopic. The floral stay in the background and don`t bother me a lot, but the rose is definitely present. This is a must for the fruity lovers like me!

    Give me caramel!

    To me Blockbuster is a strong lasting butterscotch

    Follow Me Boy

    Jasmine of doom and nothing else for me. A FULL jasmine garden in a nuclear bloom, if you know what I mean. Amazingly, I hate jasmine but this put a smile in my face. I doubt I`ll be able to go out with it without layering with something else. I can`t decide if I like it or not.

    Thanatopsis

    The pine is rond and sweet and the musk a deadly sexy note> Over all a scent evocating forests and nights and secrets. I love his sweet greeness

    Juke Joint

    Boozy juniper and baby powder, the mint is completely absent It`s traumatic how the notes disappear from my skin. it ends in a juniper sugar, ok, it`s not for me.

    Kubla Khan

    In the vial it`s sweet and floral and I start to be scared. On me it`s a burst of jasmine at first, and after the gorgeous vanilla note blooms, blended with the mandarin and florals. the smoke is faint but I don`t find any leather. It`s extremely complex and sophisticated, maybe a little too much for a simple foody like me.

    Sugar-Slathered Candied Apple

    I love the apple note so this is a total win for me. A sweet and red apple floating in a delicate caramel filled crystal bowl. The caramel note is the one that stays more on my wrist and I`m not complaining. It`s an innocent and perfect oil for the hard working mornings.

    Samhain

    Samhain 2008 At the start I was overwhelmed by the fir and the pachouli, and felt in the Vicks -Bandaid trap. But I persevered and now I can fully enjoy all the stages of this litle masterpiece From the deep and balsamic start through the pumpkin and the fruity bloom in the drydown. It`s the perfect pick-up scent for rainy days and I hope everyone will give another chance to this crazy multi layered baby.

    Tweedledee

    I love the citrus notes to death but Tweedledee is faithful to his narration, it`s too ridiculous for me. it`s like one million candies flying to a 100 km/h toward your nose screaming "We`re Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!And sour too" I`d love to have enough sense of humor to wear it, sadly I prefer some more zingy and fresh oil.
  13. Kubla Khan has a prominent mandarin note and some of the same florals as Lady Lilith. Hell's Belle is musky florals with mandarin. The Great Sword of War has the same mandarin/red musk combo as Lady Llith. It's more masculine, though. If you're looking for light and fresh Hell's Belle is the closest to a light fresh Lady Lilith. If you're just looking for a bright and clean mandarin blend, 51 is excellent. Thanks a lot! I already have Kubla Khan and The Great Sword, and I love them! I will include your suggestions in the imminent Yule order!
  14. I`d love to have another blend with the same or a similar mandarin note of Lady Lilith. Is Carnal near to it? I love the freshness of the wet stage of the blend.

    Lilith Victoria

    In the bottle it`s herbaceous lavander, but it fades fast and the floral notes go out. Soon the TKO feeling is deliciously strong and sugary, and then the Dorian lemon makes feel its presence. At the end it`s Snake Oil minus the spices. Amazing. The throw is average but it disappears a little too fast, and it doesn`t morph well in the locket for me. Never mind, I love Lilith Victoria. EDT After a little aging, the lavander mellowed completely out and now the Snake oil is going stronger and stronger, sugared by the Dorian. It`s pure heaven!!

    TKO

    Sugary marshmallow lavander, it`s so strong I can smell it with the bottle closed, and it makes me so happy the lavander fades fast leaving place to a sea of sweet sugar. It`s heavenly and I guess I won`t just use it to sleep, having no problem on that side. It`s addicting like junk food.

    The Goblin Rider

    It`s evergreen that recedes fast leaving place to the spires of incence in the dark, and reappear again to stay. It`s very light and highly evocatice of a slow, magical ride in a silent, dewy and damp forest.

    Huesos De Santo

    It`s delicious and not exceedingly sweet at all, to my surprise. No anise for me, only custard waterfalls on a light orange cake. It seems to fade fast on me but I don`t care, I will slather it with pleasure A foody masterpiece

    Fearful Pleasure

    It`s fizzy and sparkling apple cider lighted up by the orange peel touch, I don`t know where is the smoke in here but every time I move I feel I `m in a gorgeous party in a room filled with autumn yummi treats. It`s that good.

    The Gladdener of All Hearts

    I waited days to review it cause t`s such a complex blend that it`s hard to speak simply about it. It`s strongly herbal and fades beautifully in a powdery milky shade, and it stays a lot. it`s apt for a baby for it`s creaminess mixed with soothing lavender, but it`s apt for me too when I`m tired and need to be reassured and comforted!

    Hymn to Proserpine

    Liquid amber, not the powdery type, kissed by the fruits that disappear quickly, my imp is too fresh I guess. After amber and amber, like a golden river flowing around your arms, with a sweet touch like honey water. It`s a trip evocative of images more than a perfume.

    The Candy Butcher 2006

    I waited months and reapplied constantly Candy Butcher cause I wanted to love it, being chocolate my favourite note, but.. The heavy cream undertone is really heavy, it`s a plastic and clyoing note that clings to my arms and get stronger and stronger with time But the first minute is heaven, I will use my imp to enjoy that moment being discontinued today.

    Maiden

    This is soft and beautiful, white tea strong at the start and then carnation and a very light rose pulsing. It`s innocent and fit for days I can`t stand my usual spicy blends. If Alice is the child, Maiden is the young girl, as the name explains by itself. I bet it`s a good enabler for beginners too. Not too complex, but the tea note is always welcome!

    Yew-Trees

    Aah, this is green and cool at the start, it`s perfect as a rainy day companion, and aftet 10 minutes it`s all sugar sweet with a forest background. It`s weird and I don`t detect any berry, but I like it a lot.

    Titania

    For me this blend is a soft and opaque white, like the peach, grape and pea that compose this fresh and delightful blend. There`s nothing too strong of floral that normally bore me, it`s not a bouquet, mostly a fruity and totally wearable little one.
