Mostly cedar on me at first. Later, warms to a dry, incense-y vanilla, with a touch of the more pleasant tones of Dorian. Love it, although it's a bit masculine sometimes. Ordered a 5 mL.

Crazy spicy at first--almost Christmastime spicy, cider-like. I actually get the leather and dragon's blood from this. Sort of masculine, but I'm loving it. A touch of juniper and bayberry later.

Very earthy/piny. Musk pops first, and is rather animal in nature. Pine and musk compete for awhile, then pine wins. Awful on me by the end: the worst of new age shops and dirt.

Very light and springy. Fruity light peach at first, sweet and warm. Goes floral after a bit: rather sophisticated, fruity, commercial perfume-y. Very work appropriate. A little spice (from the amber?) comes through later. Goes almost boozy at one point, like peach wine. Hours in, goes a little dusty. Fades fast after that. A separate imp seemed more vanilla and sandalwood-y to me.

sweet, sharp violets. clean smell, bright. high topnote. might be me on really springy/hyper days, but that's about it.

Very fresh to start. The sweet milk's a little darkened by--the ambrosia, I'd assume. Dry, it's kind of baby-smelling, but not overly sweet. I like it, but it's not my fave.

Objectional first breath for me. Stale and sharp. Rounds out a bit, sweeter, almost Sudha Segara sweet. Powdery, but with strength underneath it. Orangey sweet. Probably prefer Ravenous for this sort of scent.

Pretty sure I have to join the naysayers and express that this is not my thing. Smells fake, with a tinge of old-man, on drydown. 2nd try: ooh! Vanilla! At first. Goes high and metallic-y shortly. It's the high spice that makes it seem artificial to me.

Sweet, spiced honey at first, with the ylang-ylang floral edge. Syrupy. Exotic and sweet, with not-too-aggressive musks on drydown. Weirds out a bit on me when stale. I love this, though. I totally snagged a 10 mL from a forumite because I was too impatient for my 5 mL order!

Yikes. Dangerous smelling at first. It makes me think I got a mislabeled imp. Sharp musk, to me. Then it calms some and turns into very pointed soap. Then softens into a more creamy ginger-vanilla scent, with strong hints of orange. Beautiful end, but I'm not sure it's worth the wait.

Looks like tea just doesn't agree with me: I find it too sharp. This is very clean, very bright, true green tea.

Lemon. Way too strong at first, then fades fast. Beautiful scent, but not me, nor long-lasting. I got no leather out of it.

Vetivert springs first, and I'm unsure it agrees with me. After a bit of a wait, it's not horrible. The blood/spice combo mediates it some, making it feral but not all wet-animal pheremone. Mostly the spices of Morocco emerge later, which is great.

At first: fresh and light gardenia or lily-of-the-valley, but not syrupy. Then clean ozone-y clarity. Cool and sunny, the feeling of hanging out, water-side. Bright, pretty, strong, and pure.

High hopes, but all I get at first is metal and musk. Awful start to me. Jasmine emerges, but I can't shake that civet-y first breath. I can just hope that it's just this imp, and a different batch may be different, because I was hoping for the almonds everyone raves about. I suspect the moss kills this one for me. So unfortunate a reaction on my skin.

Holy gardenia, Batman! A tad smoky. Rounds, less sweet, as it dries. Syrupy, though--very thick.

Orangey at first, with a dragon's blood base. Slightly spicy--cinnamon, likely. Flirtatious, perhaps, but doesn't exactly follow the intent, I don't think. For me, anyway.

Very strong, sharply in-your-face sexually aggressive at first. Rounds well with orange later: slinky, seductive, rather than NOWNOWNOW as when first applied. Sweet but insistently strong, almost, later. Softer than Succubus, but similar, I think.

Violet pops first. Pretty, but wayy too flowery for me. I thought maybe the sandalwood and musk would emerge more than they do.

Black amber first, likely. Dark, fierce dragon's blood and an almost musk note. I know I've smelled similar, but can't place it. Calms to a fascinating cherry-syrup floral.

Very green and pointed, at first: like pruning back a very green, green bush. Then it turns smoky, still with that green underlay. If not sniffing my skin directly, though, it's got a lovely dark almond waft--not the heavy, sweet syrup almond of Dana O'Shee, but a dry, desert almond. Gorgeous waft, not as great with nose to skin. I'm falling in love with the honey-almond waft, though--now it goes Dana O'Shee-like, but with depth. As it dries, a hint of spice comes through. Fades fast, though.

Way dark bay at first, very reminiscent of the darkness of the cinnamon-clove combo that goes into a Danish mulled wine that I love. Bitter, almost. There's a hint of the strong Snake Oil spices. Sticks very close to the skin, and seems to fade fast on me.

Rose! Old rose. Light, ethereal, powdery aging rose. Warm, sophisticated, elegant. Office wear acceptable.

Very springy-lemony at first. Very much green tea thereafter, light and balanced. Reminds me of something--probably The Healing Garden's green tea products.

Tobacco, vanilla (tonka bean, really), and a little bit boozy. Sweet, and gets sweeter--the pipe tobacco becoming much like a type that gets smoked around me quite a bit. To me, has a hint of leather. I love this so far, and it doesn't seem overwhelmingly sexual or aggressive, despite the name. I've gotten two compliments so far, and one person's approval that normally can't tolerate scents. Definitely a big-bottle order.
