I experienced this like a thought tornado. Envision the scene in Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy's house is just swept up, and she watches everything from the window. Imagine however, if Dorothy had summoned that tornado, and knew perfectly well that she was safe, but was just riding all of that energy into Oz. For me this has a very, take in, forward up and out energy.

Dark incense, stone, gleaming leather covered in blood. This smells like straight out of Castlevania. I imagine this is what a Belmont male would smell like. Good throw and wear length.

Acid cucumber, leather, and spooky plaster. There's almost a touch of motor oil in this. This reminds me to a Day Burned White, but sans ghost cocaine dust, and more like dark inky attic where something creepy is going to slither out from the shadows and take you. Spooky. Medium throw and wear length.

Bourbon sandalwood, Madagascar vanilla bean, and dried rose petals.

Soft roses with a touch of woody vanilla.

Sweet, tart, watermelon with a hint of pom. To be honest, this smells like watermelon to me.

Pink rose, plumeria, and lilac. This smells fresh, sweet, and very floral.

Juicy, red berries (cherry, strawberry, raspberry all blended together), with a touch of sherry. It's a very sort of sangria blend to me.

A soft glow illuminating the dusk: a somber variegated sunset sky of deep lilac, moonlit jasmine, and honeysuckle, the scent of damp grass, and a glimmer of pale amber.

Lilac, jasmine, and twilight. This smells darkly purple floral, and as if you were essentially in sitting on a porch on a summer's night on a Southern plantation (never been, but this is what I imagine it smells like).

Mossy sandalwood, very fresh and green. Perfect for autumn, and if you're a swamp creature, this would be for you.

Moonlit amber fur, basmati rice, and champaca absolute.

Nutty toasty rice (reminds me to rice pudding), and amber. This smells delicious and comfy, and its amazingly good. Love it.

Red amber, leather, and a whiff of lavender. This is amber-leather blend, with the lavender softening it up a bit, but its still very tough girl. Tiger Mom indeed!

Lavender incense with a whiff of plum. This one smells like a magical forest incense type. Great throw and wear length.

Plummy fig with nutmeg. This smells like the inside of a baked fig newton type baked good. Delicious. Low throw, medium wear length.

Soft comforting white tea, chamomile, and a whiff of amber fur. This definitely smells comforting. Medium throw and wear length.

Clear glassy strawberry and a whiff of vanilla musk. Sweet, girly, fruit. Good throw and wear length.

This smells like deliciously spiced coffee with cream. If you've ever had Ethiopian coffee, this is what it reminds me of. Take some chai + coffee, and this is delicious. Medium throw and wear length.

Pine, birch, whiff of eucalyptus, and musk. This smells like you've been rubbing yourself with pine sap. Medium throw and wear length.

This one is a great incensy blend. The brimstone brings some smokiness and the impression that this is burning, but in general it just smells like clean incense. Good throw and wear length.

Pom, peach on a bed of geranium. This one smells dark and spicy, with just enough peach to keep it bright. Medium throw and wear length.
