    Ravenous

    I love orange blossom, I love patchouli...but on me this smells like cough syrup.

    Imp

    This is so sexy I can hardly handle it. The peach and patchouli melt into the glowing golden core of the musk and amber. The peach is brighter than I expected, but not sickly sweet or overpowering. Resin-y and thick and just sweet enough. I LOVE it. It's my new favorite...

    Jezebel

    This has an odd, vaguely chemical tang when wet. It is gone in less than a minute, though. The lab's orange blossom note smells like creamsicle to me rather than the orange flower water that I spritz into my hair (bought at the middle eastern grocery store). I like creamsicle...but I love orange flower water. Everything fades quickly to the background except for the beautiful dark honey. I love it. It's a new favorite.

    Chiroptera

    Fresh, herbal, and soapy. Even with all of the flowers in the mix, I would definitely call this a gender neutral scent. It reminded me most of a lovely clean boy, right out of the shower... Yay bats!

    Bathsheba

    Sweet and spicy and subtly exotic. All of the notes stayed twined around one another...my nose couldn't even pick out the carnation, which usually dominates any blend on me. Alas, it made me quite itchy and is winging it's way to a new home even now.

    Kathmandu

    This one is not so nice on me. I smell cedar, pink bubble gum, and anisette candy. Reeeeealy sweet.

    Taurus

    This is GORGEOUS. Soft, clear, and springlike...with that dry edge of sandalwood. A very romantic blend.

    Hemlock

    Sharp, piney, and perfect. Smells like Christmas... Beautiful for blending to cut the sweetness of other oils. Very nice.

    Sudha Segara

    The ginger comes through with a bit too much force on me...

    Sacred Whore of Babylon

    On me this smells of: gardenia oatmeal cookie dough banana candy and cinnamon... ...in a dusty sort of way. It makes my head ache a little.

    Samhain

    This smells like Grandma's country apple potpourri on me. That is to say, not good.

    Snake Oil

    This smells STRONGLY of opium on me. Opium, the musky/amber-y note from Spellbound, a bit of clove, molasses, and finally vanilla. It is dark and not as uber-sweet vanilla and baby powder as I had expected. It lingers in a wafting sort of way. I wish it didn't stain my wrists... Edit** This burns my skin!

    PURPLE!

    Psyche and Spellbound are both purple to me.
  14. Men like Tarot: the Empress a whole awful lot. I almost always get a comment...

    O

    Hmmm...I like it. I mostly smell the honey, and I would swear that this contains a touch of light musk. A very subtle scent. Not as sugary as one might expect.

    BPALs that smell like Urban Decay perfumes?

    Follow Me Boy is so sweet and creamy. Not exactly like cake batter, but similar.

    Juju

    This smells dark and musky, but also smells of lemony herbs. It has a bit of patchouli, I think...as well as violet (the old lady power scent that other folks have identified). It is a dissonant mix.

    Tiger Lily

    I bought a 5ml of this one based on the beautiful description alone. It smells glorious in the vial, but turns sharp and almost acrid on my skin.
  19. eleventhousand

    Follow Me Boy

    Sweet and creamy. I love it and can't stop sniffing myself. We'll see if the boys come a'runnin...
  20. eleventhousand

    Psyche

    Sharp and dark and feminine. Balanced. None of the notes come roaring to the forefront. It starts almost chilly, but warms to the skin. A lovely going out sort of scent...I wore it last night and the muskiness of it still clings to me.

    Nine Mysteries

    A sweet mint with citrus when wet. Dries down to creamy coconut and dusty violet. Not at all what I would usually choose, but I love this one and can't wait for it to be released!

    Maenad

    This is one I would never have wanted if it weren't for the reviews...I usually am not a fan of fruity scents. The strawberry in this one is smoldering stick of strawberry incense, and I smell something darkly musky among the poppies as well. I love it! Thank goodness for the reviews!

    The Lion

    Musky and grassy with (I think?) cinnamon and clove. There's something dark and sharp at the bottom of it all...civet maybe? Outoorsy and summer-y without being sweet and light. I can't wait for this one to be released...I'll be getting a bigger bottle for sure after smelling the imp!

    Tomato Leaf

    Perfect. I want to bathe in it.

    Cinnamon girl...

    Old New Orleans is a bit cinnamon-y to me...
