Ugh, this is so lovely. Just perfect. Light, inoffensive, and so natural. A perfume for when you need to feel like you have it together.

It's from the Post, not the Lab, but I'm pretty sure Mischief hair gloss from the new CD update smells an awful lot like Harley Quinn. Or at least, that's what I was hoping yesterday when I ordered it Catwoman is either Bast from the American Gods line, or Whip from the GC, for obvious reasons. Totally agree! Here's my list: Gotham City itself: Streets of Detroit - Black musk accord, Ethiopian myrrh, and motor oil. (Seriously, every time I wear it I picture walking through the streets of Gotham, maybe down some alleys I shouldn't be in...) Bruce: Lawful - Rigid oak, blue chamomile, rhubarb, and fig leaf. (as if tiny Batman is going to smell like anything other than JUSTICE) Alfred: Black Hats - Gunpowder residue, patent leather, pomade, and aftershave. (Firing off guns to save Bruce while still being classy AF) Jim: Antony - The embodiment of Classic masculinity. A warrior’s scent: the green hills and grasses of the battlefields, the resinous incense from the prayers to his Gods, and a touch of the musky leather of his armor. Ambergris and frankincense with sage, and basil. (Jim Gordon, the ultimate MAN.) Lee: Embalming Fluid - a light, pure scent: white musk, green tea, aloe and lemon. (smells like a day of work and her soap at home as she has a bath with a cup of tea.) Harvey: The Center - peeling paint, faded wallpaper and threadbare carpets, flickering neon, candlewax, and a fading whiff of Jack Daniels. (aka his apartment) Fish: Follow Me Boy - 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. (this scent is pure sex and power, perfect for Fish!) Oswald: Wilde - A sophisticated traditional gentleman's cologne, with just the slightest taint of patchouli's passion, tonka bean's decadence, the philanthropy of bergamot, moss' cynicism, the sharp wit of lavender, and the hopeless romantic longing of jasmine and thyme. (Not only the name, it smells like at least the appearance of class and sophistication, with something darker under the surface) Ed: Villain - A classic Victorian men’s cologne: a lavender fougere, with hints of lilac, lime, and citrus musk. (I LOVE this scent, and it smells like a slippery guy that talks too fast) Ivy: Solanine, the Flower Girl - razor-thorned roses, vibrant bursts of oleander, drooping cascades of wisteria, sprays of white hemlock and lily of the valley, bruise-blue pillows of aconite, purple-veined henbane, and the snapping jaws of monstrously large flytraps, glistening wet with mucilage. Her clothes smell faintly of manchineel smoke, and her fingertips are stained green. (I mean, do I really need to explain it?) Barbara: Lady Macbeth - The essence of ambition, covetousness and manipulation: sweet Bordeaux wine, blood red currant, thyme and wild berries. (She's going to smell like fancy wine and perfume that empowers you to kill a man) Tabitha: Wanda - deep red merlot with a faint hint of leather, sexual musk and body heat over crushed roses, violets and myrtle. (Leather for the whip, wine for Barbara, and the flowers to give the appearance of caring that may not just be a lie) Butch: Fighter - Leather, musk, blood, and steel. (this man is constantly in a fight, what else is he going to smell like?) Jervis Tech: Mad Hatter (duh) - A gentlemen’s lavender-citron cologne unhinged by the feral pungence of black musk and a paroxysm of pennyroyal. (not only the name, this is the coldest perfume I have ever smelled. The guy who wears this is out for himself and his own pleasures, no matter how disturbing) Jerome: Lurid - Shocking, horrific, fierce, savage, sensationalized, luminous and hazy: black currant, Bulgarian lavender and white musk with a dollop of thick resin and a voltaic charge of ozone notes. (honestly the weirdest perfume I had ever smelled. It's vaguely unisex, but leans towards masculine, and I can only describe it as unsettling. It smells like a disturbance in the Force.) and for fun, my beloved Brigit Pike, AKA Firefly: War - Red ginger, black spices, patchouli, honeysuckle, and three blood-soaked red musks. (a real spitfire)

This is a princess scent. It's light, sweet, and fluffy. The strawberries are the top note, the jasmine is well-behaved, and the amber and musk are a nice base. Bottle!

This stuff is really sexy. Like a debonair man with some sort of glint in his eye and a sweet-talker. The lime and the lilac and the lavender are just delicious blended together, and I can't get enough of it, I bought a bottle halfway through my imp. Very unisex.

I really liked this, it was citrusy and fizzy, almost like a citrus Bon Vivant with some fig in there, but my skin just eats it. A pity, I like it. I'd like a hair gloss of it, maybe it would last longer.

When Villain dries on me, it smells like Ocean Salt face scrub, my fave

Musky-clean, that's how I would describe it. And let me tell you, this stuff lasted a shower with Lush shower gel, so that should tell you that it is long-lasting.

A very pretty aquatic blend, but I'll just stick with the imp for now.

Starts out nice and fruity with the apple, only to turn to soap after a while. I think the lily of the valley is doing that to me.

The jasmine overpowers the whole blend, to the point it clashes with the other notes. Not my thing, sadly.

Very lemony. Like a glass of lemonade with orange slices floating in it (you don't do that? it's the best way to drink lemonade.) I think it fits the name well, but I think it should age before I commit to a bottle. Like Lolita herself, actually.

Now this is some good stuff. I get a heavy wine undertone that goes a little cherry, which I like. The florals don't go soapy, and the leather is delicious. Bottle worthy.

Nope, nope, this is straight up Play Doh. Nope, not for me.

It started out a lightly spiced rose, but then faded far too fast for more notes.

A light jasmine scent on a cloud of fluffy vanilla. Very nice, but I'll just stick with my imp for now.

Oh this did not work on my skin at all, I think ambrette seed is my death note to end all death notes. I smell like I got sick in front of a tree. I needed to scrub to get it off. Not for me, sorry!

This smells like pomegranates and...laundry detergent? Seriously, I get a laundry note from this. But I don't mind, not at all, it's oddly intriguing. Clean with a little juice stain. I like it a lot!

Sooooo sexy. Musky and hot, sweetened by the undercurrent of blackcurrant and vanilla. But also there's this...grassy? note, so it smells like rolling around in a meadow with a devilishly handsome scoundrel. Yummy.

Smells like biting into a juicy Golden Delicious apple. Love it!

I'm starting to discover that I really like fruity patchoulis. This was a frimp that had been in my list to try, and I finally got around to it. Beautifully rich and deep. Sexy. It's the scent equivalent to smoky-eye makeup and and smoking a cigarette on a holder. Classy and sassy.

This month’s Lunacy winner was TEATIME IN ROSWELL Atmosphere Spray! But because Teddy loves you, and because he knows you love hair gloss, the Goblins are offering that as well! Weather balloon? No. An alien autopsy, A cover story. In July of 1947, the US Air Force recovered the crash debris of multiple alien spacecrafts from a ranch close to Roswell, NM. Several aliens survived, but many perished. Both the living and the dead extraterrestrials were transported, in secret, to Hangar 18 at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, along with the flying saucer wreckage. The US government performed a quick, efficient cover-up: witnesses were silenced, and a press release was issued the next day claiming that the fallen craft was a weather balloon. Aliens at high tea: Earl Grey, biscuits, Battenberg cake, and strangely-glowing cucumber sandwiches. Honest to god, this is exactly an alien tea party in a squirt bottle. There's lovely cucumber sandwiches, some tasty little cakes, and a healthy shot of Earl Grey. But then there's this...aura... around it, I swear. Like something glowy. It's really interesting, and I'll definitely use it!

Ahhh, this is heavenly. Spicy cider with a sweet wine undertone, and a delicious splatter of maple syrup. This survived washing my dishes so you know how long it lasts. Even though it lasts, it's not too strong. I will need a bottle or two.

Clean and smooth. Exactly what comes to mind when I smell this. A musky vanilla, as advertised. It's perfect.

Interesting. I get notes of deep greenery, but this other note that I can only identify as...steamy. And it's also a little sweet, like there's a touch of green baby powder. Did you know baby powder is an aphrodisiac for women, and also for some men? I hear it's because it's a clean, nostalgic scent that puts people at ease. So honestly, you know Poison Ivy from Batman comics? This is her perfume: earthy, green, exotic, and very sultry. A+

*gasp* this is my beloved Smite All Thy Borders with Frogges! With a lovely tinge of Snake Oil underneath!
