Wet, there's freshly dug dirt with a small hint of the rose. Very nice! On dry-down, the rose is amping up quite a bit. Not flower-shop roses, but dewey petals on the ground. I think I like it, but was hoping for more of the earth/moss... Let's see if it changes as it ages.

eww. Stale cinnamon and darkness. I won't apply this to my skin. In the clocket, it's bad-warm and angry and makes me uneasy deep in my chest…

This was my first bottle purchase - Wet it's quite sharp and metallic. But on dry-down the beeswax comes through to mellow it down a bit. I don't get a hint of lemon. Love the sharpness of the sage! Makes me want to go build something!

This was a nice sharp, fresh scent. The grapefruit and mint and champagne really work well together. Would be great on a warm spring day! Unfortunately for me, it completely disappeared in less than an hour. I'll try it next time in my hair, and/or my clocket to see if it lasts better that way.

Yay frimps! -- I love the opportunity to try scents I wouldn't necessarily have ordered. Wet it's quite sweet cherry/almond-y. Hope it mellows... Warming on my skin, I'm getting the milk and honey over the top of the almond. There's a mild dry note that I'd attribute to the grains (when I open a pail of cut oats to make breakfast I get that same dry/sweet sense) Quite lovely - this should appease the Dana O'Shee!

House of Night is dry dark floral - not sweet light flowery-floral. The woods blend in to make this lovely and somber at the same time. I see me wearing this often.

I like this, and am glad I ordered a bottle. Not oppressively flowery lily and rose, tempered with earth and dark sadness. I can see wearing this often.

In the imp - I smelled almost nothing at all -- initial disappointment. Wet - I didn't really smell but got the sense of dry coconut and very faintly clean earth. Dry - How nice! On me this is only barely sweet (this is a good thing) - the earth and moss and coconut (husk maybe?) all work together to make a spicy comforting blend. Very relaxing. ETA - The second time I wore this, the coconut was overpowering. Odd...

This is my first 'blood' scent, and it surely won't be my last! Wet, my husband says he smells the pipe tobacco (half&half) his grandfather smoked many many years ago. To me wet this is slightly sweet cherry/vanilla with an earthy musky backdrop. Then upon drying the sweet mellows down and leaves more of the smooth musk/spice peeking through. It is so well blended - no one note pops out. Instead it's just sexy-spicy-warm wonderfulness. Must have a bottle!

Leipreachan has a nice gold color in the imp, and thankfully smells nothing like I thought it would . For some reason I was expecting bright green and sweet (lucky charms?), but I get earth and moss along with some subtle sweetness. Very nice - I can see wearing this often.

- My first review! - Wet on the skin, my first impression was rich caramel - but not sweet, if that makes sense. Must be the vanilla and tobacco. Then upon drying I got more of the smoky blend of woods with the tobacco and vanilla in the background. Very smooth and sexy - I think this could be great on a man or a woman. This will be a bottle purchase for sure!
