How about Monster Bait: Bloody Mary? I haven't tried it yet but I love Zarita and am hoping to get the same creamy feel from Bloody Mary.

I received a partial frimp from this machine! Imp: Sweet juicy berries. Smells a little like pink bubblegum. Wet: Musky berries but as it drys it becomes a little spicy and the amber starts to come through. Dry: The berries have mostly faded leaving a spicy warm amber musk. Not a sweet as I was hoping for but still lovely. Now and then I still get a whiff of berries. Nice but probably not for me. I don't think I'll be hunting down a bottle.

I find Sudha Segara, Alice & White Rabbit comforting. So sorry to hear of your loss

I was really keen to try this one as it features 'White Rose'. I can't wear rose without it taking over and turning to powder/burnt rose so I was interested to see if this would be different. Imp: Very light floral. Wet: This is a well blended floral which is not at all overpowering. I can just single out the jasmine, white rose and musk. Dry: The rose and musk become more dominant. A beautiful, feminine scent. It didn't turn to powder on me and the rose didn't take over completely but it did fade fast. I could barely smell it after a couple of hours. It's a lovely scent but not one I'd buy a bottle of.

On me O smells *exactly* like Lush's B Never too Busy to be Beautiful shower gel. It's all honey!

Imp: Oriental Floral. Jasmine Wet: Smells a little like vinegar at first. This passes and I detect mostly jasmine. Dry: The jasmine blends more with the other florals, none of which I can distinguish. It's a clear, fresh and airy scent. 'Crystalline' is an accurate description. Later: The musk and spice come through creating a nice balance to the florals. This would be a good everyday kind of scent. A sophisticated, light, feminine fragrance. I like it but for some reason it reminds me of toilet freshener. I might give it another try.

Imp: Sweet red wine Wet: Clove and red wine. The scent is so strong it makes my stomach turn. Dry: The clove disappears and the scent mellows. It becomes a very sweet vanilla, cherry, wine which gets muskier over time. A dark and sexy fragrance. This scent works well with my chemistry but I don't think it's for me. The dry down is nice but the initial wine and clove stage is really tough to get through.

This is a lovely scent. It's mostly honey and amber on me. I can only detect the vanilla in the imp and when it's wet. When dry it has amazing similarities to Lush's B Never too Busy to be Beautiful Shower Gel. I could still smell the honey on my wrists when I woke up this morning. I do like it but I might wear it a few more times before deciding if it's really 'me'.

Imp: Magnolia and mandarin. I love magnolia! My two favorite main stream scents contain magnolia and I was disappointed when Black Dahlia didn't work on me because of the rose. Wet: Spicy, creamy, magnolia. I could hardly smell anything at first and had to put a bit more on. Dry: A very warm and sensual scent. A little earthy and not my usual style. It's becomes quite musky, with only a hint of mandarin. The sweet magnolia remains in the background. I'm still undecided. I like this scent but wish the magnolia and mandarin would stick around a bit longer. It's the type of scent I'd wear out at night or to bed but not during the day.

Imp: Very Rosey Wet: Still detect mostly rose and a little musk. Dry: The jasmine starts to show itself but not enough to tame the rose. I can't detect any mandarin but it is becoming more musky. It's a very strong fragrance. The scent is wafting up as I'm typing, giving me a headache. A feminine floral that is mostly rose on me. It's not something I would wear but I recommend it to anyone who loves roses. Edit: After an hour it faded to a rose scented powder.

Imp: Jasmine and Honey Wet: Just gorgeous! Jasmine, honey with a hint of spice in the background. It's definitely a sticky, humid scent. Sweet but not at all sickly. Dry: I love how the spices come through and blend with the jasmine. I can now detect a hint of lemon in the background. I can't stop sniffing my wrist! This scent stays very true to when it was wet. An absolutely beautiful floral. I love it. Perfect for summer and I think this requires a bottle.

Imp: Sweet Vanilla Tea. Quite a light fragrance. Wet: Sugary vanilla tea. The scent is much stronger than it was in the imp. I feel a slight headache coming on. Dry: This is quite lovely. The vanilla is becoming more creamy and the musk starts to come through. There's a hint of lemon in the background. It's sweet, sophisticated and a little sexy. I like this and it works well with my skin chemistry but today probably wasn't a good day to try it. The weather was hot and humid and I found the sweetness of Dorian a little nauseating.

Bottle: Strong, sweet and a little bit green. I can detect the jasmine. Wet: Very floral and still quite sharp. The jasmine has taken a back seat to the rose geranium and juniper berry. The juniper berry is very intense and slightly sour. Dry: The jasmine comes through, the scent softens and becomes a little sweeter. It's quite lovely but not a scent I see myself wearing often. It's still mostly rose geranium and juniper berry on me, I was hoping for more jasmine.

I am so disappointed. This was amazing for about 15 mins before it turned to powder. At first it was all amber and apple blossom with a hint of spice from the carnation. An absolutely stunning, golden scent. It's quite light and not as strong as many bpal scents. Perfect for a warm summers day. Once dried it turned to a sweet baby powder on me. It's not an offensive powdery scent. It's quite clean and fresh but not really how I wish to smell.

In the Bottle: Sweet, sharp and a little smoky Wet: First sniff I get a strong whiff of magnolia followed by black amber. It then turns quite smoky almost like ash. Dry: The smokiness fades and the magnolia starts to shine through. I can smell the magnolia over the jasmine with the black amber underneath. It's becoming a beautiful blend of florals, a little sweet yet a little spicy. This is gorgeous - a lush dark floral perfect for a night out. Hours later: The rose came through and took over, as rose always does. It then turned to powder. My husband described it as talcum powder crossed with palmolive soap. I really loved the initial stages of this scent but rose and I just don't get along *sigh*
