Someone said that MB: Closet is a dark Beaver'versary, and I agree! Same sweet icing, same foodie goodness, but with a nice helping of booze to round it out.

Soft, pretty, sweet. Very fruity with hints of lime and the same rose note I get from The Knave of Hearts. Yum!

This one goes through an unfortunate 'urine' stage on my skin. Once that fades, though, I'm left with a pleasant floral that is surprisingly masculine.

Thanks so much, alyssinwonderland, for the chance to try this! My first impression was tobacco, tobacco, tobacco. After a few minutes of dry-down, this seems to be mostly black rose and hairspray. I agree with the other poster that said this has a 'lipstick' sort of smell to it... slightly chemical, but soft and feminine. Nice, but luckily, not for me.

Roses, Pearls, and Diamonds is lush, creamy and soft, and it also has a great throw without being overpowering. This scent is so elegant and so beautiful that I will be investing in a bottle as soon as I have the funds for it. Perfect!

In the bottle, it reminds me of Smut. Actually, the wafts I get of the oil now that it's dry still reminds me of Smut, but when I get up close to smell my wrist... it smells like plasticky lime. I could detect the licorice for about two seconds before it disappeared. It's not a BAD scent, but the tonka seems to overtake the rest of the notes (that happens to me every time I wear anything with tonka, it seems ) and after twenty minutes or so, I get nothing but Play-Doh. Ick. Does not play well with my chemistry.

Sweet cherry and vanilla combination that is reminiscent of Blood Kiss without the vetiver. Very yummy without being too much of a 'foodie' scent!

asfkl Oh, this is so good. Slick black leather and metal and OMG I just want to BATHE in it. I can't even give a coherent review, it's that good!

Oh, pretty! My skin amps the amber and incense notes most of all, with some nice deep, dark plum to give it a little sweetness.

Sprite! Green fizzy Sprite with a dab of lemon. Seriously, y'all, this could be a Sprite SN. It's a fun scent and true to its namesake.

Sugary vanilla and lots of patchouli. Very much like Snake Oil, to me, with a slightly less spicy edge.

My first impression is... bubblegum! As it dries, the star anise comes out more, making this a very nice sweet and minty blend.

I get straight-up hairspray when it's wet, and once it dries, there's a melon-spicy-foody thing going on. Like someone sprayed nutty, syrupy cake with fruit-scented hair products. Far out, man.

Apple! It's apple! And aquatic! This is an apple swimming happily in the ocean, then coming up to shore and slathering itself in spices. Hmmmm. Not what I expected, but pleasant, and kinda whacky!

On me, this is very masculine and very yummy. It starts off as a OMG IN YOUR FACE balsam and fades out to something cologne-y and mild. My skin devoured it pretty quickly. I guess it was just too yummy!

ACK. PEE. PEE. IT SMELLS LIKE PEE. That's all I can smell. Iiiick. I wanted to like this, but it does not like my chemistry at ALL.

This is a really nice blend of melon, florals and honey. It'd be a perfect springtime scent. I definitely wouldn't mind having more!

This is probably the strangest scent I've ever tried. It starts off very dusty and strong on the balsam. Someone else mentioned absinthe and I agree, it reminds me of a less sickly sweet version of Absinthe. Then, once it's dried, I smell... grass. Not freshly cut grass, but old, withered grass. And some vanilla. ...not for me at all. And it makes my skin prickle! I guess Ü and I were not meant to be.

In the imp, this smells... abrasive. Like a really sharp, burnt ginger. And on my skin... equally abrasive. It doesn't really morph into anything else.

I got some of this courtesy of the fantastic Dark Alice. For a while after spraying this, I kept sniffing the air like a maniac, trying to figure out where on earth I'd smelled it before. Then I realized... it's like a room spray of Mother Shub's Pfancy Pfefferneusse! It's foodie and sweet and OM NOM NOM good. Quick, someone convince me I can't bathe in this.

This reminds me quite a bit of The Chapel. It's gone that same strong, dark feel to it, but the darkness is tempered by a boozy note that's really nice and subtle.

This is a very nice, bright floral. After a few minutes, it fades out to something a little less sharp and a lot more green. Not very much throw, but it's a pretty scent! Perfect for spring.

Gleaming stone and silver. This disappears to NOTHING on my skin. Not even enough of a scent left to review, sadly! Going on, it's a nice, cool metallic, but then... poof. Gone.

I agree with SurlyGirl. This smells like black jelly beans. There's a strong hint of clove, but that's about it. It's a nice scent, it just doesn't amp on my skin.

In the vial, it smells delicious, like a woodsy vanilla spice. Dry... it smells like buttered popcorn and skin musk. Yup. Interesting, but definitely not for me!
