At first sniff, I was thinking this was just a non descript floral moon, but on my skin it really blossomed. The top notes are definitely the peony and the plum. It's a light pink scent, floral yet innocently fruity. It's very girly, sweet and airy. Makes me think of ruffled pink little girl's rooms and frilly nighties. As far as florals go, I actually really like this one, I just wish it was a bit longer lasting. It fades very quickly on me, but is definitely lovely enough to reapply.

Definitely smells like Buttermints! Those remind me of my late Grandmother, so that's a really nice smell for me. There is a lovely balance between the mint and the buttery note; I'm not big on mint, but in Snowblind it's not overwhelming. The Coconut Hut, an online store where I order bath stuff, had a winter fragrance called Sticky Peppermint Snoball, and it also smelled exactly like this. Mouthwatering, Snowblind is the perfect winter scent. I don't think I need a bottle, as I'm already a Lump of Coal junkie, but I'm so glad I was able to get an imp of this and I will certainly treasure it.

At first sniff: strong, spiced, cinnamon leather. Very spicey in the bottle, I can definitely smell the cardamom and bourbon. On my skin the leather takes top note, a very deep, oiled, broken in cowboy smelling leather. The spices move into the background, so it's like sniffing a cowboy who's been bathing in cinnamon and sipping on bourbon. Although I'm not a huge leather fan, even I have to admit that this is good stuff. Very sexy, very naughty.

A light, wispy, creeping rose scent. This one reminds me a bit of Seance, but not quite as rosey. It's a very airy, white smell, and does indeed make me think of conjouring with a Ouija board in a dark, spooky attic. The pink smelling tea rose is definitely on top, and the other flowers combine to form a fleeting, barely there feminine base. Really nice and pretty, but unfortunately does not last on me. Gone like a ghost

This one is very, very lemony on me. It smells very much like Lemon Drops candy, as it has a bit of a sweet, sugary undertone. I can smell a hint of the rose and sandalwood, but its pretty much pure lemon. I'm honestly not big on lemon scents, but I do like this one better than June Gloom. Namaste at least doesn't have the Lemon Pledge effect. Nice but not for me.

I didn't get cinnamon from this one at all. It's definitely a "red" smell, but not a red hots, cinnamon type red smell; instead more like Wildfire. It is a bit herbal, but not in a sharp or icky way, its smooth and pleasant and soothing. My skin pulls the sweetness out of everything, so I actually get a light floral undertone, and maybe a hint of tea leaves. It's all so beautifully blended that it's a really hard scent to describe. But I like it, and I'm glad I traded an imp of Gnome for this, because this is way better!

I was lucky enough to score some of this in a half imp swap with hadaverde. It's wonderful! A rich, foody, sugary vanilla scent, just like creme brulee. This actually smells very similar to Sugar Cookie '05 on me, as I get a bit of the carmelized, nutmeg type smell. Divine, superb, I'm debating trying to win a bottle on ebay, but I may hold off since it smells so similar to Sugar Cookie '05, and I have a full bottle of that. Yummy

A light, herbally green scent. Very pleasant and pretty. It goes a bit fruity on me, which I guess is because of the fig. I can also smell the tea leaf, which gives it a bit of a planty kick. It's not overly mossy, thank goodness, because I'm not big on moss, but it does have a hint of earth in it. It's a lovely scent, it just doesn't last on me. Beautiful yet fleeting, like so many other tragedies
-
This smells very much like Snake Oil on me, which is strange because I know there is not any vanilla in it. It goes all sweet and rich and dark on me, with just a hint more muskiness to it than Snake Oil. It's sort of like Snake oil and Devil's Night had a love child. Very lovely, sexy, ultra yummy. I can detect a bit of sandalwood and earthiness under the sweetness, but its subtle. I think this would be lovely on a guy or girl, and I truly love it.
-
It's strange, when I first tried this on my skin, it actually smelled like cherries, sort of like Kabuki or Black Phoenix, but that didn't last. It has dried down to a light, lovely floral, which is predominantly rose. There is a subtle breath of almond and sandalwood in the undertone, but mostly just straight up pink roses. I do love the rose blends, and this one is lovely as well. Girly, innocent and sexy, but very light and not too much throw.
-
I'm normally not too big on the spicey ones, so I didn't know what this one would do on my skin. It comes out a very nice cinnamon blend, with a hint of mellowing honey, and light undertones of pepper and clove. The clove isn't too overwhelming, thank goodness, because that's one of my nemesis notes. The pepper is definitely detectable, but not too strong, and actually makes for a nice, complex undertone. A very spice cabinet-y scent, great for cinnamon lovers but not too overpowering.

At first sniff, a host of dark, perfumey florals undershadowed by the slight sweetness of the booze. Really nice, this is exactly what I imagined it would smell like. It's definitely "dark" and I'm always so impressed when Beth puts together these sweet, innocent florals and manages to turn them solemn, dark, and forboding. I can definitely smell the magnolia, and an array of flowers, but the booze notes really aren't very prominent on me, they kind of whisper in the background. I like it, I'll hold on th my imp and see where it takes me.

Straight up, strong cinnamon. Like the smell of Red Hot candies. When I first applied it, I smelled a sweeter, quite promising base that I was hoping would balance out the strength of the cinnamon, but no such luck. My skin turned it into a cinnamon fest. Much too strong for me, I need my cinnamon spoon fed to me and drenched in sweetness, like Chimera. Definitely a fitting scent for Inferno though, quite firey. I'll find my impie a more appreciative home.
-
I get straight, pure, strong cinnamon from this one. It's sort of along the lines of All Night Long as far as the cinnamon note goes. I love cinnamon like the smell in Chimera, but this one is just a little bit much for me. With all my oils, I only keep the ones I really love, and this one is just ok. I need to find my bottle a more appreciative home, but I am so glad Beth is resurrecting some of the celestials so I get a chance to try them.

A sweet, incensey, resin blend. It's subtle, with no throw, it clings very close to the skin. It definitely smells like frankincense to me, like that old, worn - in head shop type smell. There's something there to sweeten it up a bit too, something resinous, like opium. A nice blend, but not what I'm looking for in a fragrance.
-
An interesting scent, I would classify this one as incensey. It's heavy and the frankincense and black cypress, and that's all I smell at first. Now that I've worn it awhile, I can smell the hazelnut softly emerging. It gives it an earthier, sweeter sort of feel. I think this would be really nice on a guy, it's just not for me.

For those of you that are into Villainess soaps, Hesperides smells very much like Discord. Ripe, juicy, golden delicious apples! I don't detect any of the bark note, just a bit of the midnight mist and the sweetness of the forbidden fruit. It's wonderful! I love apple scents, and I can't believe it's taken me this long to try this one. I truly love it, and I'm definitely considering a 5 ml, because this is just too good to have one tiny imp of. Absolutely gorgeous!!
-
Ooooo, quite lovely! A light floral with a bit of a fruity kick to it. The roses and apricot are definitely on top on my skin, which is an odd combination but one that works out beautifully. I can also detect a bit of the plum, hiding underneath. This one is really cool because it's a rosey floral without being too perfumey, and it's a fruity foody without being sickeningly sweet. I suspect the longer I wear it the stronger the rose will become, which is fine by me. A gorgeous, feel good blend for feeling sexy or just for having fun. Loved it!

A very light, silvery, creeping, night time flower scent. Very pale, eerie, ghostly and whispy. (Have I used enough adjectives yet? ) It's somewhere between lilies and gardenias for me, definitely white flowers. I think it's quite lovely and demure, but florals never last very long on me, and this one didn't either. All the same, hauntingly beautiful.
-
At first sniff - a very bright green mint. Sharp and strong, no mistaking the greeness of this one. The herbals are the undertones at first, but on the drydown they become the top notes and the mint fades to something a little more pleasant. The lime and lavendar starts to show itself as well. Not really my style, I'm unfortunately not a big mint fan. But lovely just the same for all you minties out there

This may be my favorite "cologney" men's blend yet. It's extremely sexy and clean smelling without being overly cologney or overpowering. The patchouli is barely there, but just enough to give it a lovely little unique flair. The lavender and tonka are beautifully blended, and not at all sharp or "sting-y." Just as the description says, this is very sophisticated. It's what you would smell if you walked into the Men's Grille at a very classy country club. Although my man is at the opposite end of the spectrum (shaggy, dark, and earthy) I hope he likes Wilde, because I would LOVE for him to smell like this, like, all the time!!

Very very soft, sweet, perfumey and girly. The sweet pea and the ylang ylang combine to form an enchanting and gorgeous floral. I am a big fan of ylang ylang, and it's definitely the top note here, which is great by me. It's a very pink/soft yellow (pastel) scent for me, and it conjours images of beautiful maidens swinging from flowering trees in the springtime. This might be a really good one for those of you who think jasmine and rose blends are a bit too much for them, this is such a lovely floral but it's not overwhelming. I like Erato very much for the little girl in me.
-
A very sharp lavender scent with an herbal/citrus twist. It's a sharper lavender than in Somnus, more herbal and raw. The citrus note smells more like orange peel to me than lemon, but it's a bit delicate compared to the strength of the lavender. I can't put my finger on the herbal note, something along the lines of bay leaf perhaps? Overall, a bit too sharp for me. I need my lavendar spoon fed to me behind a mask of florals. I'll find my imp a more appreciative home.

This one smells like a very heady, elegant ladies perfume. It's very strong on the floral end, the jasmine, moonflower and white musk are definitely on top. It's a regal yet mysterious smell, and I can definitely see why this reminds people of night time. It's something you'd wear for a romantic date or secret midnight trist. I can't really smell much of the ozone or moss at all, which is fine by me, since I'm not really a fan of either. This is a really nice one for those of you looking for a classy floral/white musk with a lot of throw. A little definitely goes a long way

This one goes pure woods on me. I unfortunately can't smell any of the lovely patchouli or lavender, just pure, earthy brown wood scent. It's not like a sandalwood, incensey type wood either, but a deep, mossy, brown soil type wood. Kind of the way vetiver and spanish moss smells on me. These type scents just don't work well with my body chemistry, way too organic smelling for a fruity, foody girl like me. I'll find my imp a more appreciative home.
