This is a really interesting one. The honeysuckle is definitely on top, but it's totally debauched by the underlying black opium. It's a clean, soapy scent, but the spicy quality of the undertones gives it some interesting depth. Sort of sense - boggling and nose confusing. Like incense over a blossoming summer evening. I think I like this and I'm gonna hold on to my imp and see how it works for me.

This one doesn't quite have the bite I was expecting. I was thinking something like Belladonna with a floral edge. It actually goes on very soft and delicate, and it's a bit powdery on the dry down. It reminds me a bit of Numb. I'm picturing "snow princess" instead of "deadly beauty." It's a nice scent, but since my collection has grown so large I probably wouldn't ending up wearing this one enough. I will find my bottle a more appreciative home.

I didn't try last year's Harvest Moon, but this one sure is purdy! It's spiced apples galore, with an undertone of autumn potpourri. Delicious, harvesty, orange and halloweeny. Cinnamon, spice, and everything nice! Love it, knew I would, and the boy loves it too. Good thing I ordered 2 bottles, I think this will definitely be my new Fall scent. Bravo!

This is a dark, wicked, creeping scent, perfect to embody the Black Widow. It has a musky, spicy base, which I guess would be the patchouli and red sandalwood. The red wine creeps in for a little bit of a berry kick, and the jasmine softens up the overall effect. It conjours images of dark, spooky forests, damp places, and evil creatures. It's a wonderful scent, complex and sexy, definitely has the evil bite of the spider. I love it, I will hoarde and cherish my bottle.

Smell sanctified! A blend of pure, pious frankincense and graceful myrrh. Whoa, very very spicy on me. Turns to pure black pepper, smells just like the inside of a spice cabinet. Very dark and sharp and incensey. Very not for me, I'll find my imp a more appreciative home.

This is a very unique one, I can't think of anything to compare it to. I can definitely smell the anise, and a bit of the oakmoss, but the civet is not really showing itself. This one comes out smelling very much like black licorice on me, unfortunately, since I'm not a fan. It's a very complex oil and I'm sure it's lovely on the right skin.

This one is so hard to describe. It's lovely and sweet and definitely does contain florals. But there's a creaminess to it that gives it an almost foody quality. Sort of a honeyed jasmine feel. I'm not really doing it justice, because its a lovely scent. Very very pretty.
-
This is a very woodsy, dark, earthy type scent for me. It doesn't really remind me of the midday sun, but rather of a tranquil, quiet forest. It has a bit of an incense/resin feel to it as well. It's very still and peaceful. I think this might be really nice on a guy, but it's just not my kind of thing.
-
A fruity bubblegum scent! The fruit shows itself first, followed closely by the distinct pink bubblegum note. There's something else there as well, something a little smoother and creamier underneath. Very sweet, very happy, very foody. It's great, it does make me feel happy and I really love it.
-
Yep I agree that it's definitely an herbal/resin scent. It's a bit more airy and ethereal than I expected. There's a floral there, with a bit of a sharp twang to it. The undertones are a lovely, earthy, smoky resin/musky smell combined with a light green herbal. The longer I wear it the more the floral rears its head. It does go a bit soapy on the drydown, but not in an offensive way. It's soft enough so that the resin note smells really good underneath it. Actually, now the resin has become much stronger, and the floral is backing down. In fact, it's getting downright musky and smoky! This is definitely a magically morphing scent, and one that is very complex. It's beautiful, but I know I'll never be able to find a bottle because of it's rarity. I'll just have to cherish my little half imp.

A lovely, strong floral. For me, this one smells like lilac and jasmine, maybe with a hint of lavender or roses. I didn't get any fruitiness from it, just pure, unadulterated florals. It's a beautiful, clean, girly scent, and I really like it, I will certainly enjoy using my imp up!
-
What a great incense scent. It reminds me a lot of Depraved, except without the apricot edge. It's definitely a patchouli scent, with just a hint of red frankincense underneath. I love patchouli blends, and this one is no exception. Strong, sexy, long lasting and yummy. Bravo!
-
In the bottle, pure Florida swamp. An aquatic, layered over with an earthen, swampy, decaying type note. There's a hint of sweetness there, like some kind of damp jungle bloom. This one is just not for me, it has Ugh! factor on my skin, and turns to something like a dirty diaper smell. It does remind me of swamp faeries, though. I find my bottle a home where it will be better appreciated.
-
Wow, this is not at all what I expected this one to smell like! It's really lovely! A rich, golden, spicy smell with a beautiful creamy undertone. I'm not familiar with a couple of the ingredients, so I can't really tell you what notes are on top, but I can tell you this smells wonderful. I would almost categorize it as a foody scent, but's it's spicy and a bit incensey at the same time. This is a really great one, and I might even ponder a big bottle.
-
A wispy, fleeting, airy smell. It reminds me a bit of the Unicorn with a bit of a violet kick. At the same time, it has a darker ominous sort of undertone, like an unexpected surprise. Unfortunately, violet just doesn't agree with my skin, so I'll have to find this one a much better home, but a lovely idea and I'm sure it's smashing on the right skin.
-
Ugh, something about this one reminds me distinctly of All Saint's which similarly did not work for me. I think it's the combination of oakmoss with the mints, It comes off as a really weird smell on my skin. Sort of like someone sprayed tile cleaner on an old musky carpet. Geez, definitely not for me, I'll try to find this imp a better home.
-
A very herbally, dark green scent with heavy woodsy undertones. Normally I'm all for the green scents, as I love Belladonna and I like Hemlock, but this one is just a hint too dark for me. There is a mossy, earthen, old wood type note in the undertone that is rearing his ugly head on my skin. This would probably be really nice on a guy, but not really for me.
-
This is exactly what I would imagine Absinthe would smell like. It's a green, astringent, alcoholy smell, with a mint undertone. Unfortunately, mint and I do not usually agree on things, so this blend is just not for me. It's a really fun idea, and probably great for someone who likes minty/sharp alcohol blends. I'll find my imp a bettter home, unless the boy wants it; he seems to like it.
-
Wow, what a fantastic scent. It is indeed a bit on the masculine side, but no so much that it would deter me from wearing it. It's a lovely, earthy, woodsy, incensey blend full of body and depth. I'm beginning to realize that I really like rosewood, and combined with the red sandalwood and amber, this is a truly beautiful scent. I'm beginning to really like the incensey blends more and more, and this one is great. I will certainly enjoy using my imp if the boy doesn't steal it, as he has already threatened.

Unfortunately, instead of being just touched with decay, New Orleans turns a little rotten on me. I can smell the loveliness of the honeysuckle trying to come through, but it just can't get past the icky earthen type smell. The spices are also trying to help, but they are just not strong enough to overpower the evil. I'll find my imp a better home.
-
Eeek, smells like black licorice layered over lavender! Not a good combo folks, this one doesn't like me at all. This one is unfortunately going to have to go the same way Nanshe did. I guess I'll have to stick with my Somnus and Oneroi.
-
A very complex, green scent. I agree with the people that detected dandelion, that's what the floral note seems closest to. It's green, but there is definitely a hint of a fruity undertone, perhaps apple or a light citrus. Strength is sharp but sweet and alluring at the same time. It's an addictive, magnetic scent for me, and I am seriously comtemplating a big bottle. Just beautiful
-
This is a really interesting blend. It definitely has a green/ herbally base that has been smeared with some white florals. It's a soothing, calming, contemplative type scent. Sort of like something skittering along the edge of your imagination that you can't quite put your finger on. It may even have a hint of an aquatic note to it. Overall, a light, relaxing scent that refuses to be underestimated. Very nice.
-
This is a very strong cinnamon scent. It's the sort of cinnamon smell that's like fresh sticks of it right out of your spice cabinet. There's something under the cinnamon, a little sweet clove perhaps? This is the blend for cinnamon lovers, it's like a bottle of liquid red hots.
-
A very soft, light, lovely jasmine blend. I agree that it smells more like night blooming jasmine, which is so appropriate. It's wispy and white and very pretty. It reminds me of Luna and the base for the lunar oils. What a beautiful representation of the Moon, I can almost taste the moonbeams on my tongue. I don't think I'll get a big bottle but I will certainly enjoy my imp.
