Rich almond honey butter cream cake with a whiff of fig. Heavy, foodie, rich. Yup. CAKE FOR DAYS.

JASMINE petals, and a touch of incense. Why hello there Jasmine, you coquette you. I see that you've spent the past few weeks in the Middle East. Feeling spicy? Yeah, that's what I thought. Still jasmine, but you know, a little more exotic. Still very in your face. Great throw and wear length because you know jasmine, being subtle is not her forte.

Inky black chypre with violets and clove. This one is a dominant black chypre, masculine in its chypre-ness, but softened by the violets. And yet, its only the appearance of softness. You know how a panther's fur looks soft? It may be soft fur, but it's still on a panther. I think the clove adds a bit of Drakkar Noir-ish edge to the black chypre, which is either a deal breaker or just full of nostalgia. Either way, still a panther. Good throw.

Oakmoss, patchouli and some blackcurrant and cassis in there. It's an odd patchouli blend for me, the oakmoss bringing an aquatic lightness that I don't typically associate with patchouli. This codes almost 'masculine' to my nose. It's like a patchouli chypre to me.

HUGE red rose bloom, with a citrus edge. Yup, red roses. Lots of red roses. Huge throw too.

Fig, incense, sandalwood and a whiff of vanilla. This one is sultry, subtle, and complex. GAH. Gorgeous. I may need more of this.

Plum blossom with hints of sweet pea, violet and maybe a brush of orchid. It's a very plum blossom blend, very Asian, and clean florals in the breeze. It's a sweeter floral than I was expecting. Medium throw.

I really get amber, sandalwood, with a touch of peach and red fruits. Enough to bring a fruity edge to an amber-sandalwood heavy blend. It smells sophisticated and slightly gender-neutral. Good throw.

I am really getting a slightly pink rose but mainly creamy orchid from this over a bedrock of sandalwood. I was honestly expecting more roses from this, but its really an orchid/sandalwood blend. Low throw though.

Red musk, honey, and a whiff of myrrh in the background. This is mainly a honey/red musk blend to my nose.

Sticky sugary strawberry candy, dollops of vanilla, and a whiff of orange blossom. This really makes me think of Strawberry Shortcake Dolls. The strawberry is the sugary 'fake' strawberry candy note for me.

I get mainly pink rose, rose geranium and a hint of lavender. It's a soft rosey-chypre type blend. I loved the L'Essence Du Chagrin bath oil version mainly because it was a lavender chypre. This is more of a rose chypre. Medium throw and wear length.

This is an oil of control and authority, of power and the acquisition of power. Twilight Alchemy Lab’s Dominion Oil contains essential oils, absolutes, and CO2 extracts that are organically-grown and pesticide-free, and many of the oils’ components are first distillations from small farms. This oil was charged under the auspices of both Jupiter and Saturn, and contains calamus root and essential oil, licorice powder, Italian bergamot, and Master of the Woods root. So this isn't a "pure" review of Dominion, as I'm currently combo-ing it with Ascendancy at the moment. I was seriously in a space of "NOT TODAY, SATAN", and grabbed Ascendancy as my first instinct. However, after thinking about it for a second, I felt like I needed a boost of Dominion as well. When I put it on, there was a definite "rawr" moment, and a zap of very dominant masculine energy. My thought if anyone was into DOMINANT anything, this is certainly a whip-cracker. Also, get in touch with your inner boss. Today has been a day where I've tackled a big bad scary project, and a few coworkers that I don't like have not bothered me. Given that this was charged with Jupiterian energry, I can see some of that, but it's got a very very different vibe than the Jupiter TAL oil or the Planetary Jupiter conjure bag. Or rather it's darker? For serious use only.

John Dee: master of science, alchemy and magic, Hermetic philosopher in the schools of Rosicrucian Christian Mysticism and Platonic-Pythagorean doctrine, and Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer, advisor, cryptologist and spy. With Edward Kelly, he created a field of study and work in Angelic Evocation, and isolated the Angelic language: Enochian. His scent is soft English leather, rosewood and tonka with a hint of incense, parchment and soft woods. Dee is all woods, tonka, and a touch of leather. On first spray, I get a major hit of incense. Yup, smells like Dee. Also, strong as WHOA. Dee is not holding back in my hair.

Wisteria, lilies and a pop of champagne. It's mainly a light wisteria floral with enough lilies and champagne to make it a little fizzy and floral, and more than just all wisteria, all the time. Very light.

Super fresh cut grass dries down to musk with a touch of yew. Again, super low throw on me after the first 10 minutes of intense cut grass. Low wear length.

Smoky red sandalwood, touches of something resinous that smells like raisins, and tobacco. But yeah, I definitely get a "raisin" scent from this over the sandalwood and tobacco. So foodier than I expected. Not alot of wear length on this one though, since my skin seems to eat this up. Medium throw, very low wear length.

Frankincense, anise, cinnamon, and cedar. This smells like spices and a whiff of resin. Spicy, resinous, good throw and wear length.

Coconut, lemongrass, and lemon. And hell, this smells like BBW Coconut Lime, but instead of lime its definitely lemon grass. It's sweet, it's creamy, its coconutty goodness. This smells like tropical sunshine. Monster throw on me. Good wear length.

Dusty rose and resins. Medium throw and wear length.

Red roses, patchouli and a touch of black currant. It's a mish-mash of dirty roses with a whiff of dark fruits. Good throw and wear length.

Delicate orchid and pink roses with a swirl of hay. It smells nice and clean. Low throw, good wear length.

Orangey red roses. It's sort of an orange and red rose jam. There's definitely a very sugary aspect to this. Medium throw and wear length.

Pumpkin, mimosa, black amber, mahogany, and Madagascan saro. Pumpkin, hint of mimosa and black amber. It dries to a resinous, woody blend. Masculine, smooth, resin.

A joyful oil, infused with all the exuberant, triumphant, life-affirming energy of Sol. Can be used therapeutically to combat winter doldrums and treat Seasonal Affective Disorder, and is perfect for rituals that herald the first melts before spring. This Solar oil can be used in all Sol rituals to promote creativity, abundance, happiness, and benevolent leadership, and in all ceremonies that celebrate life. "This oil contains Tarocco orange essential oil, organic star ruby grapefruit essential oil, steam-distilled angelica essential oil (derived from roots), Roman chamomile essential oil, St. John’s Wort essential oil, vanilla-infused coconut oil, and tincture of yellow rose (petals plucked from the TAL garden during summer of 2012)." I picked to use Sunlight today, as it is warmer today than it has been in many days here in DC. I really do enjoy the smell - sweet orange, hint of grapefruit, hint of coconut and a tinge of rose. This is a pretty, sunny blend. Occasionally, I do get the winter doldrums, but in the cycle of life, its been a hard winter, and I'm ready for Spring. Waiting however, is always the hardest part, isn't it? This makes the waiting easier. It's sunny, full of energy, and promise. It has some of that soothing energy that Anthelion does, some of effervest solar energy that Leo Stellium does, and seems to sort of meld both together. This is liquid sunlight indeed.
