    Goneril

    The cedarwood is the strongest note. There's also something sharp in there. It smells kind of off. I don't think it likes me.

    Moscow

    This is a very rich, heavy floral. It's very well blended, and I can't pick out the notes. I don't smell any jasmine! How odd.

    Has No Hanna

    This is soap from start to finish. Even in the imp. Fancy soap, but soap nonetheless.

    Water of Notre Dame

    This is kind of aquatic, with tons of lilies. It's ever so slightly soapy, too. I wear it as perfume, and I have found that it does make me feel a bit better.

    Black Cat

    This sounds wonderfully versatile! It smells pretty simple, though. Like minty mint with a smidge of juniper.

    Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo

    This smells like candy. Kind of like chocolate taffy, maybe. I don't really know because I prefer strawberry. It's a good scent for making people happy, though; it really is cheerful and sweet.

    Van Van

    This is a decaying sort of scent. It gets a bit spicy upon application. I don't like it, but I'm keeping my imp anyway, for non-perfume use.

    Jazz Funeral

    I'm really digging the bay rum and bourbon. I'd expected the magnolia to be more prominent but I guess not. This is an awesome New Orleans scent. It's the French Quarter (whereas the New Orleans scent is the Columns hotel on Saint Charles). Pretty darn masculine, but I'm pulling it off nicely.

    Ochosi

    I like the spruce! It's awesome. I can smell shea butter when I put it on. It's not bad, but I prefer the purer spruce of the imp. Decent throw.

    Elegba

    The coconut made me feel ill when I first tried it, though I misidentified it as vanilla. It's still just as icky as Ogun and I can't stand to wear it.

    Ogun

    I smell juniper, weighed down with tobacco. The melon comes through on my skin, making for a nauseating cacaphony of notes I don't like. I can't sniff this one too closely without feeling sick.

    Obatala

    Coconut. I really hate it. I'm going to try this anyway. It's slightly less nauseating on my skin, but I still don't want to wear it. That's got to be one of my least favourite notes and it's preventing me from sniffing closely enough to find the other notes!

    Osun

    Honey, uh oh. My skin doesn't much like that. I smell the bug spray note I've noticed in several Voodoo oils, but it's not all that strong. It vanishes in a puff of powder on my skin. This has something slightly floral in it. Unfortunately, the honey is killing the scent. I can't discern any notes and it's fading pretty quickly.

    Oya

    This puts me in mind of the kinds of products black people use in their hair. I don't know why, but I think it's an association formed in childhood. I just can't pick out any notes. It reminds me of a girl I knew many many years ago. On my skin, the sweetness that must be the plum comes forward, but the initial image remains.

    Shango

    This is very fruity. I mostly smell the pineapple, pomegranate, and apples blended together with a bit of coconut. And bananas, loads of them. The bananas become even stronger on my skin. While I will make use of this, I won't wear it because smelling like baby food isn't appealing.

    Olokun

    ... His ofrenda is the scent of the lightless deep: the glorious, unknowable gloom of the ocean floor. This is a nice, intense aquatic. I think it's too bright to be the ocean floor. On me, it's really not any different. Fairly good throw.

    Sophia

    The lavender blends very well, so that this blends seems to be just a gentle, sweet herbal fragrance. On my skin, it's quite true to the bottle. This is very pretty and it loves me! Moderate throw and pretty good staying power.

    Penthus

    This smells like an aquatic in the imp. On me, it turns into something that makes my nose itch. Also, it hasn't much throw.

    Maenad

    The imp smells like strawberry bug spray. The bug spray smell fades away on my skin, but the fruit smells overripe. Sugar-dipped strawberries just beginning to rot.

    Venice

    This is very rich and kind of fruity. On my skin, it's nothing special. My chemistry sucks all the awesomeness out of it. It fades superfast.

    New Orleans

    This is a warm, sticky, white floral. Very heavy and strong. It's the kind of scent one might associate with, say, St. Charles Avenue and other affluent areas of the city.
  22. sofiaviolet

    Rose Cross

    This is a very simple scent. Does just what it says. The rose sweetens the frankincense a bit. This is very pretty, with loads of throw.

    Urania

    I can't pick out anything but the jasmine. It remains strong on my skin. Urania is pretty darn soapy, but I find that I don't really mind that.
  24. sofiaviolet

    Thaleia

    Apricot. I really can't smell any other notes. This is really yummy.
  25. sofiaviolet

    Polyhymnia

    My first impression is of a York peppermint patty. Not even joking. On my skin, this turns rather lemony. I can't pick anything else out.
