This is a strong spicy scent. It's absolutely lovely! I don't know what the notes are, but it's hot and firey and spicy! Unfortunately it doesn't last long on my skin. It fades like boom. 15 minutes in and it's dried down to a powdered version of it. Most of the strong spice is gone and I'm left with a little bit of floral. It's also not liking my skin in other ways. I think I may be allergic to one of the notes! No idea which one!

This dries down very thin and like someone above said, it has a bit of effervescence about it. It doesn't seem to throw very far. I can't pick any notes out, it gets slightly warmer the longer you wear it, but it's mostly a cool blue/white scent. It's pretty with no floral stuff. Reminds me of something you'd want to smell if you were in a shop full of crystal. It's a clear scent. The scent fits the description!

When I first read the reviews I thought, oh! Green and aquatic! That sounds lovely! I'll get one of those. But maybe I don't know what the heck a green or aquatic is supposed to smell like, or maybe they don't like me. I put a LOT on. It's not too overpowering to me, but I really wanted to smell it w/o putting my nose to my wrist all the time. (er, not that that has really stopped me ) This has a good throw. In the bottle: Tangerine with something in the background. Wet: Still tangerine, but a tiny bit tarter. Dry: It warms up, but also tarts up a bit. Not an unpleasant thing. It soaps up a some, but not terribly so. Husband says it smells soapy too. 30 minutes: I think I finally smell a little Violet and it may be starting to powder some. Still a tiny bit of citrus in the background. 1 hour: Wafting more violet and soap, still citrus close to skin. 1.5 hours later: Mostly violet. A bit more powdery. Nice. It does do it's job and calms me down, I was having a particularly hormonal day and I do feel a bit better. It should be said that Lightning did the same yellow/citrus thing to me too, and it was supposed to be aquatic too.

I don't get lightning, ozone or rain out of this at all. It smells sweet and lemony with a bit of soap. Someone else said it was like something they'd clean their counter with, and I'd have to agree. It's not offensive, but it's not what I thought it would be.

A houdoun recipe dating back almost 150 years. This blend is favored by prostitutes, exotic dancers and others in the sex industry for its power to attract, seduce, and enthrall. Ensures financial gain and increased profits. Creamy. Sweet. VERY sweet. Like cotton candy in a bottle.

Wet: Dirt! Oh, I missed this the first go round! I couldn't identify it, but there it is! The dirt does dry down into a bit of a powder, but it's still there, hovering underneath. It's sweet, but not too sweet. A bit flowery, but in a clean way. This is my fav scent so far! It always cheers me up when I put it on.

It smells a bit like Coty face powder. (to me) It's nice, not on me, but it's nice. (: ADDED Jan. 6: When I got my first set of imp orders I was suffering from a hormonal chaos and Thanksgiving fullness. Honestly, not many of the oils I got liked me very much. It's now, a month later that I revisit some of my oils and discover that Black Phoenix is just some sort of yay. I sift through my imps for a scent to put on and I almost always pick this one up. (sometimes it's a rose scent, sometimes Kali and sometimes Nosferatu.) Now that this has sat a month it's grown, and it's grown on me. Never again will I automatically put up an imp for swap or sale until I let it grow a bit. It's warm and sweet, but not overbearing. I can pick up sweet cherries, but it's a bit more tangy than just that. It's also got an alluring twist to it. I am still reminded of a little Coty Face Powder (though it's not powdery), but not so much so now. I am truely digging this scent! I will most likely get a 5ml of this!

First cherries. Then, well, to me it smells like cedar. Ends with a woody smell, I'm guessing the mahogany. I like this one. Cherry lingers underneath, but it's like wood cherry.
