This is very, very hard to describe. It smells like something soft that I want to cuddle up with. I wish I could rub this into my pillow. There's snake oil, but it's soft. It's a very green scent, but soft and....oh man, I don't even know. It's just amazing!

This is...wow. This has a certain note in it that I can only describe as 'evil'. Not evil in that it doesn't work on me...it just smells evil. To me, this smells like Al-Azif and Shub-Niggurath had a lovechild. There's ginger, but also a citrus-y note (a specific one, because other citrus notes hate me) that makes this smell disgusting. But in a good way. It completely evokes the image of a ghoul. I don't think I could wear this, but I may keep the decant.

This smelled great in the decant. Dirty, yet not. There was soil, there was plum. There was Cherry. It was nice....but it tuned jasmine on my skin. Ugh. It has GREAT throw though, so much that I wondered what the smell was that made my head hurt. I had to scrub it off. *sob*

Oh~ yeah. There's the white sage. Delicious, delicious white sage. Even though this has 'lemon balm' in it, I can't smell any citrus at all. Just delicious beeswax, sage, and resins. This has really good throw, and reminds me of amber tubes and churning engines. With incense. It's really, really nice. It's very hot in the way it smells. Mmmmm.

Mmmmmm! So good! This starts off as dragon's blood resin with a bit of sweetness, but then morphs into something divine! This smells like honey sweet dragon's milk! It's vanilla tempered by dragon's blood, basically. Easy to describe but wonderful to smell! The throw is great on me, and I can't stop sniffing. Sadly, my mother hates it and made me scrub it off. I guess I'll have to have a secret affair with it.

So much sandalwood. I can barely smell the dragon's blood. It actually kind of makes my head hurt, or my head is hurting on it's own. I'm not sure. It's nice and woody. Smells like....a dragon's foot/claw. If it's been perching on trees. Yep....I'm going to sniff it again after my nap.

The lust incense of a corrupted Astarte. A blend of ritual herbs and dark resins, shot through with three gingers and aphrodisiacal spices. This starts as gingerbread. Very nummy, very foody, but NOT what I think of when I read 'the beast with a thousand young'. I start to get disappointed. Then it morphs. I'm, er, feeling kind of hot now, if you get me. It's sexy, but evil. Evil ginger. Now we're talking. This makes my mouth water, and not just for food.

A creeping, wet, slithering scent, dripping with seaweed, oceanic plants and dark, unfathomable waters. Sharp, sharp ozone. And....uh.....nasty fabric softener. I wanted to love this, I really did. I love Cthulhu! But this makes my head hurt. I'll try it again to make sure, but I'll probably have to swap this.

My mother says this smells like cheap perfume. Personally, I kind of like it, even though I hate florals. This might be a mental thing though, because Crow is my totem, and I'd be heart broken if I ended up hating this. I'll admit, I can totally get where my mom is coming from with the cheap perfume thing, but as it drys down it gets woodsy. I catch pine behind the violet (which normally hates me), along with cedar. Smells like a murder of crows flying through a winter forest.

The year of I-have-no-idea, In the imp and wet, this was honey. For some strange reason, I got honey. Then the sweetness disappeared and it morphed into smoke. The wonderful smoke smell that made you sniff cigars as a kid. Then it turned into smokey wood and leather. In the best way possible. This is a keeper!

*sigh* I'd try the scales, but lemon goes rancid on my skin half the time, and the other half I just don't like it. The engine sounds nice though! And I just ordered an imp! Thanks!

I put this on after a shower....it didn't give me welts, somehow. This is probably an aged decant, so bear with me....cassia and cinnamon. This was mostly cassia, but I could barely pick out cinnamon. Ew. Then I put it on. This. Is. Sex. I was afraid I'd smell like red hots, but I don't! This is the wild cassia and stick cinnamon I love so dearly, not the concentrated crap they pump into candy. I had to go put more on (I barely dab when I test). This is.....oh man....words cannot describe. I obviously just need to buckle and buy the entire pit.

This is very minty when I apply it, but the mint smooths out as it dries down. Then the tea comes out, and I swear, it smells like snake oil, if snake oil was tea. It's very different, and kind of me. Huh, and I thought I'd hate this! The throw is great, but it's not particularly strong.

I got mostly frankincense and snake oil with this. The orris stayed almost completely in the background. When I first put this on, I could barely smell it, but within twenty minutes, it quite literally bloomed. Gorgeous! Incense, snake oil, and...something else? I couldn't really tell, but the whole blend was nice. It lasted a full 24 hours too! It smells strong and confidant, but might be a bit too masculine for some people (I like masculine scents, and I loved this, so...). I love this at least twice as much as snake oil. Brb, stocking up.

I am so grateful I got to try this. I caught a partial imp of this from a livejournal faerie, and wow, this smells interesting. It's sweet, but not obnoxiously sweet. It has more of the sharp smell I tend to associate with honey. It's amazing, because I know this is a bouquet. As it drys, I catch a hint of...incense? What? This changes so quickly on me that it's really hard to tell what's going on. It's...I guess I have to describe it as waxy. And warm, it's always warm. It's nice, really, really nice. Now I just have to figure out a way to use it.

My first thought when I smelled this was butter. Then it turned into something akin to....gold. If gold had a scent. It's very beautiful, but fades extremely quickly on me.

On my skin? Bug spray. I got this as a frimp, so I'm happy my judgment isn't to blame. After a little while it starts to smell like an actual perfume oil. There's lemon in this. And musk. But not enough musk to make this work on me. Too....cloying. And it gives me a headache. I couldn't scrub this off fast enough.

This smelled nice in the imp, but went sour on my skin. It smells like bad commercial perfume that decided to rot. This doesn't like me, I need to scrub it off NOW.

Vanilla stone is the only way I can describe this, and it lives up to it's description. Sadly, it just isn't me at all, though I'm grateful I got to try it! I know there are some florals here, but I can't identify them. I'll have to ask my mom to inhale my hand once she gets home.

This is very, very, very light on me. I get orange peel and rose mostly, but not nice rose. More like, as CynicalPink said, powdery old lady rose. I knew there was a reason I stayed away from citrus and florals. It also fades very quickly. Oh well, I guess I found something my skin really doesn't like.

In the imp, this smelled like straight-up booze. Scotch, specifically. That ended the moment I put it on. Now? Heat. Sex, heat, and alcohol tinged kisses. Dry, the booze comes back out, but the musk and heat (leather?) stay around. I can smell a hint of roses, but it mixes in with the booze. This makes me want to whip people. >D

My first impression of this was "Holy shit, this smells like an evil book!" I was stunned. I don't think it's a mental thing, I opened the imp thinking it would smell like plain ol' incense and dirt. No. It smells like the Necronomicon. Dark, musty, and there's something evil in it that makes me shiver. The 'evil' note edges off and then comes the sweetness. Like I pulled the book down, saw what it was, went 'oh crap', but couldn't help but read just one page. And then one more. It lures you in. This scent gives me shivers, and I begin to shake every time I sniff it. The throw isn't that great, but it clings wickedly to the skin. Like it's trying to steal my soul or something. Of course I'm going to be seduced and get a bottle. Edit: I just realized...if I sniff it reeeaaally closely, I get a slight whiff of rat piss. I used to own a bunch of rats that I loved dearly, so I know that smell. It's not a bad smell, just really nostalgic. Then I realized....IT KNOWS WHAT I LIKE!!!! IT'S ALIIIIIIVE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! *cough* But really, there's a little bit of musk in the blend. Last edit, I swear: And just like that, it's gone. Within two hours it's almost completely faded. Let me tell you, I could feel this thing trying to get me to reapply. But I stayed strong. I fought the beast! I stood tall in the face of evil! ...who am I kidding, I was just too lazy to get up. And I'm still getting a bottle. *sob*

Honey and Myrrh. The Honey seems to act as the base, at least on me. It's a delicious scent that smells warm yet oddly empowering. It's lasts a good time, and has excellent throw. Most sweet things tend to smell sickly sweet on me, but this isn't. The honey in it doesn't smell like sugar, just honey. Pure, beautiful honey. I don't like it enough to get a bottle yet, but I'll be holding on to the imp.

Lemon, lemon, lemon. Oh, and musk. Kind of. A bit. Maybe a tiny smidgen of aloe. Sigh. I guess I should have expected this. I amp citrus smells like a lemon air freshener. And I'm going to be a mortician too...I really wanted this to work, but unless the musk does some magic, I don't think it will. It finally blended into a nice green tea scent after two hours. Pleasant, but not me.

I can't really tell what exactly is in this because it only smells like one thing to me; my dad. I put this on right before visiting my dad, and couldn't tell the difference between my wrist and him. It's very light on me, and I can barely tell it's there. It's very comforting though, so I think I'm getting a bottle.
