I emailed answers@blackphoenix last night, since I accidently sent paypal with the wrong address, and without stating which bottles I wanted. Bill just sent me back a response about a half hour ago, so those emails are definitely getting checked.

Hrm. This is definitely a white rose, with lots of green undertones on me. I'm not getting any cream from it. Unfortunately the rose is super amping on me. I think I'll have to pass this on to a new home. I was so hoping it would work on me!

Oooh, this is yummy! I just tried this in the shower, slathering it on after I shaved my legs. I smell all warm and summery now! It is definitely a golden, warm, comforting scent. I feel like I'm wrapped up in a little ray of sunshine, which is something I really need now. I keep getting whiffs of peach and amber wafting up around me. I am totally in love! And now I'm off to try the perfume.

Mmmm, this is yummy! I'm so glad I managed to find a decant! On me, it smells exactly like a toasted marshmellow. I get a warm, sugary vanilla feel from it. It's absolutely delicious!

Oooh, yay! I'm so excited the goblins decided I deserved this scent! In the bottle: This smells exactly like a caramel apple! It smells heavily of caramel in the bottle, with just a hint of apple lingering underneath. First impression on skin: Apple, apple, apple! This smells very brightly of apples at first. After a few minutes: The caramel begins to come out more strongly, mingling with the apple. Smells incredibly yummy, and has a great throw! I only put one dot from the lid on my skin, and now I can smell it all around me. A keeper for sure!

I was a little afraid to put this on my skin after smelling it in the imp. The lavender was incredibly sharp, and a bit scary smelling. However, once on my skin, it morphed in to a cool, crisp, lavender, which I quite like. I think this might a good bedtime scent. I also find it reminiscent of Bat-Woman (which I really should wear more often!). For now, I think I'll stick with the imp, but I may upgrade to a bottle in the future.

This is a very musky, muted floral on me. I can definitely smell the calla lilly (love!) and heliotrope, although there is no sign of the plum so far. This is a beautiful scent, and I think I will be upgrading to a bottle.

I was really looking forward to this scent, since I absolutely love mermaids, and I wasn't disapointed! This is the first aquatic blend that has worked on me. Thalassa is wonderfully clean smelling on me. It does seem to be a bit soapy, but I like soapy (makes me feel clean!), so that is not a problem for me. Very refreshing scent! I think this will be perfect for the summer, when I'm feeling all sweaty and gross. I've added this to my bottle wishlist!

Oooh, this is absolutely gorgeous! Very sweet and fruity! It makes me feel pretty, even as I sit here in my pajamas. I'm definitely upgrading this to a bottle!

Ugh, I was looking forward to this, since I love jasmine. But here, the jasmine totally died on my skin. I smell like nasty nail polish remover.

Here are some of the things I like at etsy: MINT LUSTRE glass and swarovski earrings. I really love the mint green color! Bohemian Hammered Copper Earrings I'm a big fan of hammered copper, and these earrings are stunning! black, gold and pearl necklace This necklace is gorgeous! SALE-Delicate Heart Necklace I really love this gold filled heart locket. Goldstone w/ mini-heart 3/4 inch earrings. Oooh, these look super sparkly and pretty! Golden labradorite and citrine, herringbone weave 14K goldfill earrings. Wow, these are gorgeous! I love the vintage feel. Yasmeen I absolutely love these hoops, although they are way out of my price range. Verdigris Swaying Leaves I love leaves! brilliant tree pendant I love trees too. Luminous Egyptian Pyramids VINTAGE CZECH GLASS EARRINGS I love emeralds (even fake ones!)! Don't feel confined by this list! These are just some examples of the type of thing I like. If you make jewelry/knit/paint/make pottery/take photographs/etc., I'd love to have it!

I was so excited to receive this scent, as this was the one I was really hoping for. And I definitely was not disappointed! I can't really distinguish individual notes in the bottle, but on my skin it turns wonderfully musky and spicy. The cloves really stand out. I can't stop sniffing my wrist! I agree with shelldoo - It really does remind me of clove cigarettes, which I love. I'm so glad I sunmitted to the Inquisition! I think this could easily become a favorite oil of mine.

Oooh, I was frimped with this in my latest order. It almost got thrown into the swap pile, since it smells horrid while in the imp. However, I dabbed a bit on to my wrist, and it smells wonderful! I'm getting mostly vanilla and ginger, with a hint of jasmine. So far I can't detect the apricot at all. I think I may actually have to add a bottle of this to my wishlist! This is a wonderful scent, with great throw.
