femmefatale

Oh, this is just gorgeous. I'm not a big floral person, but I do love the smell of honeysuckles, just usually not in perfumes. Most honeysuckle perfumes are very fake smelling. This isn't. On me it's mostly honeysuckle with just a hint of jasmine. There is a greenness that helps to keep it from being headache inducing sweet and a light musk that adds some depth. It is very pretty and will definitely be a beautiful spring/summer scent. I'm also curious to see how it layers w/some Graveyard Dirt.

In the imp it's mostly jasmine. Uh oh. Wet it's still mostly jasmine but it starts to darker a bit and it's beginning to smell like jasmine incense. Very pretty. But then...I start to catch a hint of the dreaded cat pee, but that lasted about 2 seconds and it's gone. (sigh of relief) As it dries further it starts to smell like this shop I used to go into that sold soaps and incense. It's actually very pretty and surprisingly clean smelling. I actually expected something a bit smokier and spicier. It's a lovely scent though and I'm very happy I got to try it. I think I will have to see how it does in my locket, hopefully it will be a bit more complex without my wonky chemistry.

I tried this in both my locket and on my skin and I'm going to review both since they end up so different. On my skin it starts out as a very smokey, sweet leather with a somewhat perfumey scent due to the wine. As it dries the wine calms down and I'm left with a beautiful vanilla leather scent with just a hint of tobacco. Sadly, no rum or coconut for me, but I'm still very happy with it. In my locket it's just straight up dirty. It's all wine and leather and smoke. This is definitely a high class pleasure room during the seduction time, not the stale "ewww what is that stain?" post-fun time.

Oh yum! At first it was a dusty, woodsy vanilla. Then the sassafras came out out and the cedar calmed down a bit. Now it smells like the most delicious rootbeer (not the cheap stuff, the really good stuff). When I smell this I think of drinking bottled rootbeer in an old time saloon. This the "on the wagon" cowboy. I love this and honestly, I didn't expect to. I'm hooked. ETA: Once it's completely dried it is the most delicious woodsy vanilla. Most vanillas disappear on my skin, but not this one. I think this just made my top 15 easy.

I was sent this by my super sweet swapper. Oh my, I am so happy I got to try this! It smells clean and spicy at the same time, almost like a docked trading ship. I swear I get some water mixed with cinnamon & ginger with a touch of honey to sweeten it and some herbs (maybe tea) in the background. It's beautiful and I think I'm going to need a bottle.

I am soooo happy that someone kindly frimped this to me because otherwise I never would have tried it. I can't believe I almost missed this. In the imp it smells like chocolate covered berries. Not cheap milk chocolate, but rich, dark, cocoa. Once on the skin it becomes less foody and almost a bit smokey and spicy. It's a very sexy scent and imo, unisex. I have to get a bottle asap because I don't think my imp will last long.

I would suggest that if you try Chimera, don't get an aged bottle. For some reason the spice seems to completely disappear.

I agree about Shub. It is the sexiest spicy baked goods I have ever smelled. There is something there that keeps it from being too foody and definitely makes me feel slinky and exotic (and edible ).

In the imp it's mostly jasmine. Uh oh. Wet it's still mostly jasmine but it starts to darker a bit and it's beginning to smell like jasmine incense. Very pretty. But then...I start to catch a hint of the dreaded cat pee, but that lasted about 2 seconds and it's gone.

I think I will have to see how it does in my locket, hopefully it will be a bit more complex without my wonky chemistry. ETA: As it's drying down, the tobacco is coming out a bit more and making it a touch smokier. I think I catch a hint of the hay, which I'm not sure about. It comes and goes.

'06 version At first this is one of the most realistic tree scents I've ever smelled. Then the smoke starts to come out along with the rosewood and the barest hint of incense. I'm not getting too much of the spices and citrus, more like an impression of them. This is beautiful and there is something about it that's keeping it from turning into potpourri. It's actually a very realistic scent and I get the visual of a slient snow covered forest at night. I love this! I think I'm going to have to pick up this years bottle to see how it compares.

I love love love this one! I smell all the notes and they just blend beautifully together. There is something poignant about this scent. I can't wait to see how it smells on hubby.

Wow, at first I could've sworn there was grapefruit in here. It must be the bamboo giving it the sharp, tangy citrus vibe. As it starts to dry the wood comes out along with some slight powder from the snake oil. This is quite different from the other snakes blends I've and I think I rather like it. It's not my favorite but I definitely think I will have to pick up a bottle. I think this would be a great summer scent.

I have no idea why, but on my King Cobra smlls like a sweeter version of Hellhound.

I've oticed that it seems they send out international orders in bulk so there will be a wide order date range in there. I'm sure it makes it easier for them to send a whole bunch of internationals at once.

'08 version YUM!!! This is so wonderful! I was a little worried because in the bottle is was *strong* and super super sweet, but on my skin it immediently mellows out and some delicious spice comes out, but it isn't "spicy!". As it dries down further, the spice recedes and I'm left with one of the most comforting scents I've ever smelled. It makes me feel like a kid again, being wrapped up in a warm blanket, staring at the christmas tree, and sleepily eating my cookie before bed. I really have no idea how to else describe this other than just "perfect". It's not as sweet a I expected (luckily) and I think this will be a fanstastic holiday scent. I need another bottle. And for someone who doesn't like a whole lot of foody scents (except for Gingerbread Poppet & Trick or Treat because they are mostly spice on me), that's saying a lot. ETA: This has a hell of a throw, so a little goes a long way.

When I first put it on I wasn't impressed. It was ok, nothing really stood out and then it all but dissappeared from my skin. Seriously, I couldn't smell a thing. But then it just blossomed and out came a beautiful sweet incense. I have no idea how to describe it, it somehow manages to morph from a dark to bright and back and forth scent. I can't stop sniffing myself. I had intended to try another scent after this, but I think i'm just going to enjoy this one for a while. I think this would also work well on hubby as he tends to turn scents like this into pure sex.

mmmm....the perfect non-foody foody scent. This is just delicious spicy sexiness. It says "Come closer, you know you want a taste". This is easily one of my favorite scents.

This is so confusing. At first it was very green (pine? or something like it) and medicinal. Then it became slightly soapy and not so sharp. After a little while a sweet tropical floral came out along with something almost minty. It's omehow clean, dirty, green, and floral all at the same time. I really really like this. I didn't get as much smoke as I thought I would, but that's ok. I can't wait to see how this morphs on hubby, though I think this will be all mine.

I also have to suggest King Cobra. It is beautiful, though not overly strong. Also, somehow it smells like a sweeter version of Hellhound on me.

Very clean smelling manly soap. Not for me, but I'm looking forward to trying it on hubby. I might even use some of the imp to make him a scrub or soap with.

mmmm....this is beautiful and very unisex. I catch a hint of the leather, but it's soft, not sharp at all. I can also pick up some of the tonka and rosewood and smooth woods. I really love this and I'm so happy I was frimped it. I can't wait to see how this smells on hubby! I can see us getting a bottle to share.

hmmmm...this isn't very wrathful. On me it's almost all sweet floral with virtually no spice. I love clove and cinnamon and I was hoping for a truley spicy, wrathful scent. Sadly, no. It's pretty for what it is and I may or may not keep the imp, but I won't be buying a bottle.

Dirty hippie coconut. 'Nuff said.

I was so excited to try this, but sadly it didn't work on me. Hubby came home, sniffed it and said "Ewwww, play doh!". I don't think he has ever responded so negatively to a scent yet.

Oh I LOOOOOVE this. I wasn't even going to try it, but I decided to on a whim because it was such a good price. It is gorgeous. Seriously. Somehow on me it smells like a sweeter version of Hellhound. I have no idea why or how, but it does and I smell gooood. This is definitely in my top 10 and I need more. Oh so much more.
