A very green scent. Reminds me a bit of Hemlock, but more piney. It does conjour night time images, like a dark, murky forest of fresh pine trees at midnight. It's earthy, woodsy, and herbal. I like this a lot more than I thought I would, but I think it would be even nicer on a guy. Thanks to the lab for throwing this in as a freebie.

My first impression: A cinnamony, spicy, red, feral.... But that's all the further I got because it started burning my neck! My husband looked at me and said, "Oh my god your neck is turning red" And I had to run in the bathroom and rinse it off! Ouch, that was the worst BPAL burn I've had yet. The good news is the hubbie loves it and has already claimed the bottle.

This could possibly be my favorite Pumkin Patch scent. I was immediately drawn to it. The sandalwood note is so soothing and smooth. It's got that lovely incensey, woodsy clean feel to it. I wouldn't have thought pumpkin would go well with sandalwood, but it's a really pleasant effect. It's like Jack with a head shop kick. Love it.

Wow, I absolutely love Beth's pomegranate note, Swank is one of my favorites. This one is awesome, a fruity, bright, almost sunny pumpkin note overshadowed by the juicy pomegranate. It's bubbly and fun and has the Jolly Rancher fruitiness feel to it. It reminds me of an exotic fruit cocktail you'd drink on the beach. Love it!

I've really enjoyed all the pumpkin patch scents. I didn't think I would like this one at all, but it's really nice. It has the wonderfull, rich, spicy pumpkin base, just like Jack, but it's beautifully complimented by the greeness and earthiness of the english ivy and woods. It's sort of like standing in a fragrant, rich pumpkin patch in a clearing in the middle of the woods. Earthy, yet distincly halloweenie. Nice!

This one is a lot less foody than I had imagined it would be. The incense is the first thing I notice, it's sweet yet resin-y and smoky. There is an almost perfumey tone to this one, the foodiness is just a breath of undertone. I can detect a slight cocoa scent mingled with the cactus blossom. This one is really pretty nice, it's womanly and sexy. Conjours images of rituals, candles, and ashes. I would classify it as a resiny floral scent.

OOooh! Delicious! A bright, sweet, innocent peach scent. The peach is definitely on top, followed closely by the amber, which is a beautiful combination. The peach is ripe and pure, it's that same lovely peach note I can smell in Titania. This one is almost a shimmering, crystalline peach; very pink, juicy and fun. This one is lovely, I think I need a 5 ml!
-
At first sniff, this one's really strong on the cinnamon, to the point of being overwhelming. But soon after application, the cinnamon really tones down, and the clove and incense notes becomes more prominent. The orange and peach are hard to detect, I wish they were a little stronger. On the dry down, it morphs into a pretty straight up incensey scent, with a tiny hint of sweetness. A nice one, I'm not sure if it's for me, I'll ponder my imp for awhile.

Ultra yummy berry scent. This reminds me of Raspberry Framboise, a yummy alcohol drink that I like a lot. Akuma is definitely a raspberry scent, but the orange is there as well. Overall its very sweet and foody, I can't believe I hadn't tried this one before, it's right up my alley. If you like foody sweet berry blends, this one is or you. I think this one's even better than Bewitched. Yum, me likey.

Oh a lovely QueenFae type scent. I'm realizing that I really like the tea note Beth uses, it's so soothing and clean. This one is tea like, but also has the perfumey floralness of the peony. This makes for a light, sweet, quiet yet beautiful scent. Perfect for the Dormouse; still, small, yet very prettty. I'm becoming a tea note junkie; this is right up there with Dorian and Shanghai. I love it, another wonderful creation by the talented Beth!

A very strong, dark, woodsy smoky scent. Very much like wood burning, or like wood that has just been put out after a fire. There is definitely something a bit sinister about this one, it's an in your face evil type smell. Very unique, but not for me. This will go the way of Hellfire for me, I'm just not big on the scorched scents.
-
Whoa, it's like huffing a big, fresh bouquet of night blooming flowers! Very fresh florals, strong and perfumey to the max. The jasmine and iris are very prominent, and I can also detect the shy primrose. This is a luxurious, over the top feminine goddess type scent. It's so lovely, I really don't have the words to describe it. Mysterious, seductive, gorgeous. Love it.

I drink Cosmos all the time, and I can definitely say that this smells better than any Cosmo I've ever had! It's sweeter than cranberry usually is; it doesn't have that bitter bite. The lime is prominent, but again is very sweet, almost like it's sugared. The booziness is very subtle, which is fine by me, and it comes out as more of a crispness. Swank is one of my favorites, and The Hamptons is certainly a very similar blend. It has the crisp brightness and fruitness that characterize Swank. A very fun and fruity fresh blend, I think it's great.

A dark, juicy, ready to burst berry blend. It smells like evil berries, and I can just picture the over ripe black berries hanging enticingly from their stem. It's got a bit of a sweet undertone, similar to jester, but it's overshadowed by a dark, almost green note that makes it incredibly unique. This is like jester's evil brother. Baneberry is really hard to describe and I'm probably not doing it justice, but I really love this one. I might even need a 5 ml. This is a good one for people who think berry blends are too sweet for them. This one may be a pleasant surprise.

A strong, sexy, unbelievable orchid. It's sweet and unusually potent for a floral. There's nothing delicate about this one, it's an in your face orchid scent. This reminds me a bit of a beautiful passion flower perfume I use to order from Bermuda. I really like this, I was expecting something darker, but this is surprisingly bright and tropical, very feminine. I will certainly enjoy my imp, and I might even entertain a big bottle, as this is probably one of the best florals the lab has ever made.

Ooooh, what a lovely blend, now I know what all the fuss is about. The top note on me is definitely the melon, which is sweet and lovely like honeydew, and just under the melon lives the lily and blushing rose. I can't smell the wooded notes at all, just lovely, fruity/flowery goodness. This one is just screaming naive young waif, I can just picture the young ingenue. There is also a hint of sexiness and seduction, the ingenue may appear quite innocent, but she has many secrets as well. A gorgeous, feminine blend, I feel lucky I got to try some.

This is really different from any other rose blend I've smelled. It's so light and fluffy and airy, it very enchanting. The ylang ylang is just a breath of undershadow, tucked neatly beneath the pinkest, cleanest, smoothest rose note. It goes a touch powdery, but not overpoweringly so. A very "light pink" smell for me. This is something I would like to wear to sleep, it has that clean, soothing factor. All in all, a really beautiful rose blend, even for people that think they don't like rose. I'm glad I was able to try some.

The sticky sweet scent of candy corn! Oh yum! This one's right up there with sugar skull for me. It is definitely 'candy corn-ish" but doesn't smell like what I think good old drug store candy corn smells like. It has more of a sugary edge to it, very much like sugar skull. It reminds me more of the orange icing they put on those sugar cookies that they sell in the grocery store at Halloween time. Delicious, decadent, sugary sweetness. I love it, this is my type of scent. No one will ever get their hands on my back up bottle!

A light, aquatic, ozoney take on a dragon's blood blend. As always, the dragon's blood resin is enchanting, the best I've ever smelled. The undertones are ethereal, watery, and breezy. I don't like this one quite as much as the musky dragon's blood blends, but overall it's quite lovely and very sexy. I will keep my imp and see how it works out for me.
-
Another gorgeous dragon's blood blend. This one is very much like dragon's musk, but a bit softer and foodier. The fig and the currant blend beautifully with the resin tho give this one a fantastic, soft yet edgey feel. I really can't say enough good things about the dragon's blood that Beth uses, it's amazingly yummy. Beautiful, glorious, scrumptious. Love it!

A lovely, light, outright girly blend. At first sniff, this reminded me of my mother's garden. Then I read the ingredients and realized I was really reminded of her bountiful lilac trees that grew along the driveway. Lilac is definitely on top here, but it's a perfect blend of all the components. I can detect the cedar and the green tea pretty strongly as well. This one is really beautiful, sort of a non traditional soft floral, and it has a bit of an edge. Very nice, I will see where my imp takes me.

A dark, sinister, heavy blend. Overflowing with patchouli and myrrh. It's deep, musky, earthy and spicy all at the same time. This blend certainly fits the Dance of Death, it conjours images of seances and spooky graveyards. A bit heavy on the myrrh for my liking, but this is perfect for those with "dark" tastes.
-
Definitely a dark, evil, masculine blend. The pine is on top, and the juniper and musk are creeping up from underneath. I'm beginning to like these dark, earthy blends more and more. This one has the same quality for me as Fenris Wolf and Czernobog. I think I'll keep my imp for clubbing and dark bars, but I better not let the boy smell it or he will surely steal it!
-
This is quite a bit like Blood Lotus, but definitely darker. It has an almost fruity quality to it,but it's debauched by a dark, sinister floral. The amber and sandalwood come together to soften up the undertones, and they give it that scrumptious quality that I always detect in amber blends. It's undeniably sexy, and conjours images of dark sorceresses, mysterious places, and evil spells. I love it, another masterpiece.
-
The top note in this one is definitely roses, which usually works for me, but unfortunately not this time. It has this odd quality of undertone on me, I think it's the spanish moss and the myrrh, it's just not working underneath the rose. I prefer rose that smells either really pink, like Marie, or really red, like Rose red. A shame, I had high hopes for Viola, but I'll try to find her a more appreciative home.
