    Versailles

    What a glorious, romantic scent! This reminds me so much of another bpal that I've tried, but I just cannot put my finger on which one. It's a gorgeous golden amber scent, but the jasmine turns it into a feminine, scrumptious floral. There is a hint of milky-ness underneath it all, that sort of makes it all run together into loveliness. I love the combination of amber and jasmine, two of my favorite notes. Definitely a pinkish/golden scent for me, very sexy yet elegant. Love it

    Lear

    A regal, commanding scent, but poignant. White cedarwood, blue sage and bay leaf. This smells very much like new car scent on me, which I think is because of the sage and bayleaf, as these notes always go a little funny on me. It's a very deep, earthy/woodsy scent, and if I hadn't read the ingredients I would swear there was vetiver in it. Unfortunately, these type scents never work very well with my body chemistry, a little too mossy and rotting leaves. I will find my imp a more appreciative home.

    Thaleia

    A lovely, light, fruity scent. This smells the most like apricot and honey on me. There is a breath of the gardenia and tonka floating underneath. It's beautiful, sweet, milky honey, that reminds me of a shower gel I used to get from Avon, Milk Made with Honey. The apricot is very sweet and sugary drizzled over the creaminess of the honey. Very pretty, but not very long lasting and not much throw. Alas, that is the way with some of my favorite florals and the lighter fruits. I really like this one and I'll enjoy using up my impie.

    Nero

    A very very strong, masculine blend with a lot of throw. This is an in your face masculine blend, but the kind that might be worn by a very serious, authoritative man. (Like that strict male math teacher you ALWAYS hated, but had to admit smelled clean.) The pine is very strong, but not as strong as the rosemary! Wheww, we're talking burning nostrils here people. I'm sure for the right person this would be nice, but definitely not for me or my man.

    Calliope

    A very clean. soapy citrus scent. This reminds me of a stink - covering ozone spray my friend used to spray in her dorm room to cover the smell of...well, you know It's bright, cheery, and very very orangey. I'm not detecting much of the almond, but there is an herbally undershadow. i don't dislike this scent, it's just not something that would appeal to me to wear as a perfume. Anyone wanna smell like a squeaky clean orange sitting in an herb cupboard? Here ya go!!

    Despair

    A wispy, creeping, wallowing white rose. Sharp yet seductive, perfumey yet undeniably tempting. Like a beautiful maiden who is no longer there has left the gentle scent of her perfume hanging in the air. It doesn't have a lot of throw, but I don't really think that throw is the point of Despair. It's a close up, barely there, "Did I really just smell flowers?" type of scent. I really like it, it's quite beautiful.

    Snow Moon

    This is another wintery one much like Skadi, Snow Bunny, and Talvikuu. This one smells the most like Skadi.I really do like scents like this; frozen pine, cool yet spicy, sexy and icy; But seriously, how many bottles of frozen pine scent do I need? I'm ready for a snowy scent without frozen pine. This one is indeed lovely, just as my 3 bottles of Skadi, bottle of Snow Bunny, and bottle of Talvikuu are.

    Sepulcher

    I love lilies, I had calla lilies for my wedding, and this scent reminds me so much of my bridal bouquet. It's pale and white and ghostly; a stark floral breezing through dim hallways. The rose and gladiola are such a faint but lovely complement to the lilies, they give it a clean, feminine feel. It's airy and haunting yet subtle and flowery, I like this one very much.

    Three Witches

    Well, I'm glad I waited until this one was resurrected to buy a bottle, for awhile there I was trying to buy a high priced one off of ebay. This one diesn't work for me at all! I'm not a clove or a pepper fan, so naturally Three Witches and I don't get along. It's much too strong for me, it hurts my sinuses and makes me sneeze. It has an outrageous amount of throw, and I really still appreciate the concept; I'm sure for the right person this is fabulous. I'll find my bottle a good home.

    Lex Talionis

    Ughh, vetiver and myrrh, my two mortal enemies. Unfortunately this one goes all vetiver on me, with a dash of myrrh. I can't smell the grapefruit or any of the other lovely sounding notes at all. I end up with sort of a dried leaf pile smell, like decaying earth. Very masculine. Just not for me, I'll have to find my bottle a more appreciative home.

    Red Phoenix

    A very sexy red scent. It's very rich and spicy, and it smells really cinnamon on my skin. The patchouli and the tonka combine to form this really pretty, sweet, yet incensey base. Tucked somewhere in between is the ripe, sweet plum, which smells amazing layered over the spiciness. It's very seductive and decadent, perfect for all the sirens and seductresses out there. I think this would be really nice on either men or women, although I told my husband he's not getting his hands on my bottle! Yum, wonderful

    Death on a Pale Horse

    A very subtle yet complex scent. The sandalwood comes out on top, but it's a very gentle, soothing sandalwood. I can smell the vetiver, which I usually don't like, but it keeps quiet enough to give a lovely, earthy effect to the oil. The lavender and lime are well blended, but they are there if you are looking for them, and they are what gives this blend a masculine feel. There's a very faint incensey patchouli note floating somewhere in the background. I think this will smell fantastic on my husband, and it smells pretty darn good on me too

    Pink Phoenix

    Ahhh, another ultra yummy foody one. I love it! Sweet, sugared vanilla layered with pink taffy and strawberry cotton candy. Absolutey like a kid in a candy store! As it dries it morphs into a sticky sweet pink cotton candy, with maybe a hint of creaminess in the background. This is what I had hoped for from Pink Moon. Wonderfully delicious, made for foodies like me. This will defintiely be one of my cherished bottles. Gorgeous

    Fée

    Very beautiful, light melon scent. This one reminds me a bit of Yemaya, my favorite TAL scent. It's a very green melon scent on me, fruity, refreshing, innocent and feminine. I can't really smell the vanilla, except for maybe a hint of smoothness in the background. There is definitely a peachiness there too, sort of like Titania's shy little sister. Fee is just all around lovely, fruity, flirty fun, and I'm gonna love using my bottle up. You really couldn't go wrong with the Nice oils, they all sounded amazing, but I am glad to have this one. You guys at The Trading Post rock

    Lump of Coal

    I am so excited I got this one in my Naughty or Nice order!!! Yay! Chococlate scents are always my favorite, I'm a Bliss junkie. Lump of Coal smells absolutely decadent; thick, gooey, fudgey brownies right out of the oven. It's like Bliss with a deep, fudge kick to it. Totally, totally **DROOL** I'm really craving a big fudge brownie now, you might not want to wear this when you're hungry . I love it, I couldn't be happier to have gotten this one as my Naughty scent. Thankyou Trading Post!!!

    Nuit

    This is a very luxurious smelling floral. It's hard to tell what notes are on top, because it's so beautifully blended, but the white musks, rose and jasmine all seem to be waving hello. This is definitely a white scent for me, very womanly, sophisticated, and goddess like. It reminds me of an expensive women's perfume you would buy in a department store. Very pretty, good for any white musk and rose fans out there.

    Madrid

    I'm not big on clove, so I really didn't think I'd like this one, but I am pleasantly surprised! This scent goes really sweet and citrusy on me, and the closest thing I can think to descibe it is an orange sweet tart. The clove is very subtle, and the mimosa comes out on top. The wine note is delicate and sweet, and meshes perfectly with the mimosa note. It's a tangy, sharp, yet sweet and lovely scent, and I think I will really enjoy my imp.

    Satyr

    Ahh, this is a sexy men's scent. I definitely detect some civet, which is fine with me because I love civet. It has this really nice spicy fell to it. Maybe cinnamon and clove? There may also be some lovely, deep incense notes to it. Satyr has a ton of throw, and lasting power as well. I really hope my man loves this, because I sure do and I really want him to wear it, like every day! Great one

    Languor

    Beautiful, light lilies and tuberose. A lazy, sexy floral. I can just barely smell the opium den haze in the undertones; which is nice because it gives the floral feel of this scent a little boost. Very pretty, girly, and refreshing. Reminds me of spring.

    Herr Drosselmeyer

    First of all let me say that my husband ruined this one for me before I even tried it, because he sniffed it and declared that it smelled like dirty sex. Now I'm having the hardest time not making that association as I try to review it But here goes. It's very, VERY sweet on me to the point (I never thought I'd say this) of being almost sickenly sweet. I think it's the strength of the pipe smoke, it's almost too much for me. While it's sweet, it's also tangy and musky at the same time. The leather is there, but it smells like it's been dipped in sweet syrup. It's like walking into one of those really strong smelling smoke shops in the mall. All in all a very complex blend, but just not for me. (and not just because of what the boy said )

    The Cracked Bell

    On me this smells like a really pretty incensey gentleman's blend. It's soft, slightly resiny and even a bit powdery. It's like a really high quality incense, but with a gentle grace. I don't get any of the metallic tang of blood, but my skin pulls the sweetness out of everything. This is a blue/gray scent for me, and it's subtler than most incense blends usually are. I think this is going to smell fantastic on my husband, I can't wait to try it on him.

    Midnight Mass

    Very, very, strong, sharp resin smell. I have only been in a Catholic church once, but this does smell just like the incense that was burning. It's a nice strong scent, with a ton of throw, so if you are looking for an in your face incense blend, this is it. I do like the way this smells, but I just don't think it's something I'd wear a lot. Special and unique, and great staying power just the same.

    Talvikuu

    This one smells very much like a cross between Ice Queen and Skadi. It's not quite as spicy as Skadi and not quite as fruity as Ice Queen, but just as lovely as both. It's also very similar to Snow Bunny, the lab went crazy on this type of scent this year. This is a really good replacement for Ice Queen, and I probably wouldn't have just bought another bottle of Ice Queen off of ebay if I had sniffed Talvikuu first. I'm kind of curious why the lab didn't just bring back Skadi and Ice Queen instead of making such similar scents, but who am I to complain about the loveliness? This one is beautiful, frozen, snowy, piney; the essence of winter.

    The Rat King

    This actually does remind me of rats, because, unfortunately on me it smells like the inside of a pet rat's cage (when it's clean with wood shavings). It's very, very woodsy/cedar smell, and that's all I could really smell when it was first applied. Now that it has had some time to sit on my skin awhile, I detect a smoother, cologne type note in the background. It's definitely a "feral" smell, quite animalistic and masculine. This one didn't work out for me, but the hubbie seems to like it and I'm sure he will hijack my bottle after I'm done reviewing it.

    Yuletide

    I think this actually smells better than holly berries! It's rich and a bit spicy, almost like it has a bit of cinnamon in it. It reminds me more of a lovely Christmas potpourri (I don't know how to spell that that you'd have sitting on your coffee table for Christmas Eve. This perfectly embodies what Christmas time smells like to me: rich holly berries, mistletoe, and spices. Quite pretty.
