Unleash the bawdy, unrestrained passion of the satyr! A ferociously masculine scent: sexual, vigorous, and truly wild. Very interesting. At first I was getting an orangey note from this. Then it was kind of dull and wooden. Then a cinnamon spice came out. Then it heated up. What a surprise. I like it. I like it on myself and I bet I would like it on a cute roommate, uh, I mean some hot guy, too.
-
This one changes on me. It starts out as a sweet, fruity floral. Very fresh. Then there is an undertone of something a little biting. It is either coming from the jasmine or the vanilla reacting with my skin. Overall, I still like it. It is a sunny fruity floral. I love the apricot note in this.
-
Holy cow. On my skin this is heavy, thick, black smoke. I can't even pick out the notes beyond the smoke. I'm hoping that it will lighten up as time goes on, but for now it's too heavy and dark and um, smoky for me.

DCXLII - There is a lot of sweet fruit in this one. It started out smelling questionable. I didn't think I'd like it. But once it dried, it turned out really nice. It's very juicy and fun. (Previously reviewed by Digital_Hypoxia.)

XLVIII - I'm really glad I got to try this. It started out smelling a lot like vanilla. It is a very light scent. Now it has faded a bit to be more floral, but I still get hints of the vanilla. Not bad at all. ETA: dang it. The vanilla is going a bit off on my skin. I'll have to try it with a carrier oil. (Last reviewed by Laurel the Woodfairy.)

grrrrr The milk has done it again. I didn't really expect anything different though. I'll have to try this again over some carrier oil. Anyway, it starts out really tasty. Sweet and almondy. Then in a couple minutes it goes all weird and plastic on my skin. This happens with most scents that have milk or cream listed as a note. I'll edit this after I try it with a carrier.

This is just as light as I thought it would be. It is soft, light, breezy, floral and a bit fruity. It is barely there, but very nice. I think I'll wear this when I want to wear a perfume that is more background.
-
mmm This is really nice. It's a little bit sweet, light, and floral. There's a teeny hint of berry. It's pretty.
-
Hmm. At first this is really sweet and yes, pink. But then once it started to dry a weird celery note came out. I've had this before with certain bpal oils. I'll have to check if they have similar notes to them. It is so weird that my skin is doing this. Maybe it is the phlox. I don't know.
-
This one starts out mostly orange blossom. As it dries it gets more dusty and dark. There is a little bit of the floral narcissus that comes through. But overall it is orange blossom. After it dries completely the vanilla does something weird on my skin. It starts to get a little sour. Before that it is a really nice scent though.
-
It's yummy. I get mostly coconut from it. When I wear it to work everyone asks why I have sunblock on. But I really like the way it smells.
-
At first it's mostly violet, then the vanilla does something on my skin. It turns into a sour floral. Most vanillas don't work on me, so I wasn't really surprised. oh well
-
mmmmm I like this one. It has spice, buy isn't super strong. I think there might be a bit of sandalwood coming out. It's very warm and doesn't change a whole lot on my skin. It just gets a little mellower as it dries.
-
first impression: greeeeeeeen with teeth After it dries for a while it mellow out. It's still very green and has a bit of a dirt type note to it. Not really my style, but it's interesting.
-
The first time I sniffed this was at one of the full moons at the shop. I only sniffed the bottle, but it was such a velvety, deep rose, that I knew I'd have to order it. The bottle I just got doesn't seem as deep as the one I sniffed in the store. I'm thinking that I need to age this a bit. Overall, yup roses. Deep, heavy, grown up, red roses.
-
In the bottle this one is very much bitter almond/ cherry. On my skin it started out very sharp. Then a floral note came out. I'm guessing it's the jasmine. There is also a hint of what I'm guessing is honeysuckle. I'm not sure how much I'll wear this one.
-
This isn't the type of scent I usually gravitate towards, but I really like it. It is light and green. It is very fresh smelling. I can pick out the tea, but I'm not familiar with oude. I've worn this one a couple times already and I like it for a nice, light, green scent with something more, something a teeny bit deeper. This is one of my favorites of the moons that I've tried.

'05 JUICY! I expected this to be more floral, but I was pleasantly surprised by how fruit juicy it is. It's not especially sweet, but very fruity. yum cute roommate response: juicy yup it is
-
mmm It is sweet lotus. This one doesn't change really on me as it dries. It's sweet and wet. And it seems to last awhile. a keeper
-
This one starts out as all spice. Lots of cardamom. The bourbon note never really came out on me. The patchouli stayed very light in the background the whole time. After it dries completely it is mostly leather on me. Slightly spicy leather.
-
MMMM It's really sweet. It reminds me of rich vanilla frosting. Unfortunately, on my skin it does that sour morphing thing. I'll have to try it again over some almond oil or something. It does have staying power though.
-
wow! In general I mostly get dark plum with a hint of other fruits. Then there is a bit of incense as well. It never went very floral on me. This is such a nice blend. It fades a bit on me, so I'll probably be slathering while it lasts.
-
This starts out smelling like dirt. Then it goes to dry dirt. It is very dry dirt for a long time, then it gets more cedar. Then after a while it gets really tasty. It's balsam and vanilla. I eventually like it, but not enough to make space for it.
