Sometimes for me, a scent just doesn't work out. This is a lot like Eve for me - wimpy, watered down, and just smells flabby. I do get watery honey, and some sort of fruitish water, but it's all so pale and lackluster on me. A swapper.
-
I have NO idea why, but I get a bitter herbal and musky peanut butter. Weird, but true.
-
I dunno, I do get the fruit, but it's kinda a wimpy watered down fruit. It has a nice sweet musky background though. I will try livening this up with some Fruit Moon and see what happens. Alone - too tame.
-
I find this curiously cool, pale and remote for something called Rapture. For me this is a light, cool rose on a bed of soft musk. Very "cool night air" feeling. Maybe a bit too much musk for me.
-
WOW the opium in this socks a punch! This is dark and smells of air... gorgeous smoky florals.
GIANT success!!!!!!!

The Gnostic goddess of Wisdom. A solemn, deeply profound draught of lavender, soft musks, star jasmine, black rose, delphinium, and gentle spice.
Lavender, florals... soft and nuanced and complex. Lovely. A tad herbal because of the lavender. Has a real depth. A keeper! -
The vanilla and apricot in this are wonderful, and the jasmine adds a bit of depth and headiness, then the ginger comes and spikes up at you and wanders around being belligerent and pointy. It could mellow, this is so nice I am willing to let it age... hopefully it will.
-
Citrus, water, light floral... light and pretty and feminine. A bit musky. Very nice, a keeper.
-
Another super men's scent! I am loving these Come and Sees.
This is warm and spicy with vanilla and an alcohol note. GORGEOUS.
-
Carnation, plum and musk, well blended so as to make one scent. It's a bright happy scent, sexy, playful, and feminine. I'd say it's mainly floral, with the plum as a topnote and the musk as a base.
Very pretty and fun, but not enough to take my interest away from other scents.
-
Definitely a warm, amberous, golden scent. There's a powder note in here, and a spicy note, and a whiff of floral. but something for me down deep is bitter and unpleasant. May be skin chemistry, maybe the myrtle. I don't know, but for me it doesn't work.
-
Very interesting... intriguing, if you will. The cocoa and woods are definitely present, but there is also something a little sharp and tangy, maybe a quality in the wood? Anyway for me it's a tad too masculine, even without the tanginess.
-
The grass and berries and flowers all mingle to give me a tart sharp scent not terribly unlike lemon rind. Not a favorite.

This starts out as that soapy "too concentrated flowers" smell. It dries down to a riotous, thick heady scent of white flowers, most notably jasmine, but the lily is definitely there. The musk is too, deep at the base and mildly, not taking over. The vanilla just adds a tinge of sweetness at the base along with it. I find this scent a floral with a subtle supporting base. Very nice.

Kitsune-Tsuki are malevolent Japanese spirits, akin to western werebeasts: women are possessed by the spirits of foxes, who compel them to perform acts of wickedness and mischief. Asian plum, orchid, daffodil, jasmine and white musk.
This is gorgeous. The plum and florals are floating and heady, and sooooo pretty. A big bottle scent. -
A little water, a little flower, and a watermelon, complete with green rind. Fun, not too sweet, and I love it.
-
Mostly leather, with a tinge of orange and amber, and yes, a bloom of florals all around it. But everything is based in leather. Too strong for me, maybe a "Get the Man to wear it" scent.
-
This is EXACTLy what the description says. Unfortunately, to me, the lollipops over the heady perfume is not a good mix, and they coexist uneasily and have a sharp bitter edge. Maybe too close to the real idea of jailbait and innocence defiled for me. Too sharp and cloying.
-
Very citrussy, a lot of orange peel and sour lemon. Fresh, but more like a household cleaner than a perfume.
-
Lemony, piney, nice and bright but slips often into body odor territory. It's interesting but doesn't work well with me.
-
Leather and myrrh... a LOT of myrrh, and I hate myrrh. Bye, Loviatar!!

Delphi: The smoke of Sacred Incense of Apollo twined through laurel branches, bay, and honey wine.
I love the incense, I love the honey wine... but the bay adds a completely unnecessary aromatic note that kinds of ruins this. Still nice, just not the masterpiece it could have been.

For me this is very faint with no throw. It smells an awful lot like lavender based men's cologne with resin and alcohol notes. It smells like... I dunno... Armani? Don't hold me to that. very nice though.
