From the Celestial swap. Powerful orange clove scent! Very spicy and yummy. Possibly a whole cinnamon stick thrown in there too. It smells just like Christmas to me.

Pisces: February 19 - March 20 From the celestial swap. Somewhat aquatic when still wet. It smells sweet and like bubblegum on me at first. It's light and airy, but a little too sweet for my taste. It faded out very quickly on me as well.

Leo: July 23 - August 22 From the celestial swap. This one started off very sharply with a strong floral and citrus scent. Maybe lime is the fruit. After it faded, It smelled sweet and creamy. Possibly blood orange? After the strength leaves, this is a very nice scent on me.

From the Celestial Swap. I love this one. I am not at all sure what it is, though perhaps lotus and bergamot as other people have noted. It has a musky scent with maybe a touch of fruitiness. But it's very mysterious and fanciful. Yummy! My favorite of the celestials I've tried. I wish I could have a whole bottle of this one.

From the Celestial Swap. This one started off completely indescribable. I couldn't place it at all. It had an odd amonia smell when still weton my wrist. As the day went on, it faded into something vaguely like patchouli and something else I can't name, possibly musk and an aquatic note. It smelled REALLY good though and I love it. Appropriately, it is an enigma.

Libra: September 23 - October 22 From the Celestial Swap. It was weird at first, I couldn't place it at all. A bunch of strong flowers hitting me at once. But as it faded it went into exclusively strong rose scent, which doesn't usually work well with me, this one was no exception.

From the Celestial Swap. A green scent. A whole rose plant, not just the flowers. Maybe a hint of jasmine or gardenia at first. A very elegant floral. Very feminine and very strong.

From the Celestial swap. White floral, maybe jasmine. Slight fruity scent cherry or more possibly plum. Smells sparkling and bubbly, something like 7-up or champagne. I've never distinguished ylang-ylang before, but it might be that. Effervescent is the descriptive word.

From the Celestial Swap. This one faded so fast I'm trying to recall the scent from memory now. It was a very strong spicy scent at first, maybe something green. Then I got a powerful gardenia smell for awhile. Next came a light citrus scent that was very nice with a little vanilla, maybe a blood orange or orange blossom. But soon after that it faded almost completely. Very pleasant while it lasted though.

From the Celestial Swap. This one was almost identical to Wrath, both in color and in scent. I got very powerful cinnamon right away, but it faded rapidly into a soothing creamy scent which I think is dragon's blood resin, cloves and maybe ginger. It's very substantial, but still light enough not to feel overpowering. Appropiate that it should be similar to Wrath I think.

From the Celestial Swap. In the bottle and wet on my skin I got the "woody" scent others have described, but it was different. It isn't woody like actual trees, it smelled more like being IN a wood. Full of plants and moss and spicy smells. Almost immediatly after drying it began to smell like the most powerful fruit scent I've come accross to date. It was very sweet, dark, heavy fruitiness. Possibly cranberry, it remindes me a lot of Lampades. It smells like a cross between a tropical drink and a new age shop. It's good, but maybe not as a perfume. It's calming in a grounding way. It feels weightier than the others I've tried so far.

Aries: March 21 - April 19 black pepper / frankincenseginger From the Celestial Swap. This one was a big intro with not much follow through. When it was drying on my wrist, I got a huge whiff of chocolate. Really powerful, pure chocolate. Then slowly as it dried, the chocolate faded into a more spicy scent, possibly ginger and something that smelled vaguely like roses. But it quickly faded to nearly nothing. Nice, but gone too quickly on me.

Scorpio: October 23 - November 21 From the Celestial Swap. This one didn't even have a real scent for me. It was a very light dishsoap/baby powder for maybe an hour, then nothing at all. Just a smell like I'd washed my wrist clean was left. I would expect more from a sign as volatile as Scorpio, but I have never mixed well with the sign before, so maybe this is appropriate.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 19 From the Celestial Swap. Total failure on this one. It smells like I took one of those cedar blocks meant to freshen closets and strapped it to my wrist. That's all I get, nothing else. When it was wet I wasn't sure what it would be, it had a little more of an incense smell, but when it dried, instant cedar overload. Considering cedar is one of my LEAST favorite scents, this one is a no go for me.

Saturn: Discipline - Crystallization - Control - Constriction - Banishing - Destruction - Sowing discord - Death - Reverence - Endurance Just received this one in the Celestial Swap Circle. This one looked like something I'd like because it was dark and appeared incensey. In my hurry this morning I went on that alone. It wasn't what I expected at all. It was very powerful and I think contained one of the elements that I am mildly allergic to. Similar reaction as Magus on me, possibly high john essence. It smells vaguely nutty and I get a bad rotten taste in my mouth when I wear that ingredient, whatever it is. It's very woody, possibly cedar. Ick. But since I had no time to wash it off, I wore it the rest of the day and it mellowed somewhat. It lost the bad nut smell and took on a lighter scent that has some creamy aspect - maybe vanilla, or resin and maybe a flowery scent under that. It's pleasant now, but not something I'd wear just to wait through the bad scent. Just the description would be enough to warrant me not wearing it again!
