    November

    I was thinking this scent would still fit back with the autumn scents, but it is definitely on the winter end. Wet and pine. There's the hint of something darker just underneath, if only it would come out more. Unfortunately, pine is just not my scent. Saimhainophobia remains my love in the area of dead leaves of fall. Into the swap pile with October and Death of Autumn sadly.

    Tombstone

    Well this one fits the description just right. Wet: The cedar is more pronounced with vanilla right behind. A dusty, woody vanilla is my best description of it. meh Dryed down a bit, the vanilla becomes more pronounced on my. Still a slightly woody scent, but definitely mostly vanilla. Since I'm not a huge fan of vanilla this goes in the swap pile. But it is nice.

    Nemesis

    In the bottle and wet this is all cypress and patchoulli! But after about a half hour I sniffed again. The ginger and rose had come out and it was gorgeous! Have to consider more of this.

    Severin

    Opening the bottle I got a strong fruity smell. Putting it on, the first thing I thought was really fruity alcohol!! In the end I'm agreeing with the Lemon Pledge comparison. Oddly I do still really like the scent. I'll have to try this another day to be sure.

    Belle Époque

    A scent of sophistication. All the notes seem perfectly balanced in this blend. Sandalwood I think stands out slightly more, followed by the opium and vanilla. Thankfully I can barely detect the Lily of the Valley. I don't care for overly floral scents. Makes my so far tiny top scents list! lol

    Tempest

    After loving a ocean breeze candle I had gotten, I wanted to try something with a similar scent. Tempest popped out as the most appealing when I searched the catalogue so I ordered... Loving it! Agreeing with others, there is a hint of citrus (maybe lemon) scent. Salty storm I would say. I may consider getting a full bottle of this.

    Verdandi

    Apple stands out the most too me. In the bottle of course, wet it went a lil funny smelling but then it dried to a lovely apple and herb scent. I'm not always in the mood for fruity scents, but this is great for when I am.

    Blood Rose

    I got this in a newbie pack, so I tired it without even how it was supposed to smell. In the Imp: Eww, bad smell upon opening. I think it was the wine that stuck out to me. However Application: As soon as it hit my skin the rose smell appeared. Very nice, I'm not sure how to otherwise describe it. But I definitely liked it.
