Lucretia

at first I get sandalwood and lily of the valley (both of which I loove). Then I'm hit head on with opium and a hint of vanilla. Very light and airy, but opium make it a bit heady at the same time. I feel like I could get high just from smelling my wrist, which I seem to be unable to refrain from doing. I can totally see some elegant and sexed up, taudry yet glamorous, belle epoque era lady wearing this while living it up in an opium den or going to a tea party. It really has two aspects to it I think. The opium and sandalwood is a bit more sinster, while the lily of the valley and vanilla are very innocent. I love it, I mean really, this would be a perfect straight out of the shower scent for everyday use.

mmm mmm, I'm glad I overcame my fear of this being too masculine and swapped for it. It smells wonderfully cedary and peppery on me, which just a hint of citrus to lighten it up. It reminds of pencil sharpenings, and old musty school rooms for some reason. I, thank goodness, can't really notice the patchouli at all. I really like it, but then I liked Goneril too, I'm not sure what it is about cedar but it makes me feel relaxed and safe.

I was hoping this would be more earthy, but instead I get sort of a mossy and musty dried rose smell. I recognize some of the moss from hamadryad, but mainly it smells a bit like seance to me, very sad and lingering, but honestly this is not one of my favorite rose scents at all. I'm going to have to say I prefer London when it comes to a soft rose.

This smells like I wanted gluttony to smell on me. This one is a yummy butterscotchy caramel on me. Very warm and sticky smelling. I like it quite a bit, although I'm not sure I'd ever wear such a foody scent outside of the house cause it would make me hungry, plus it's a little too rich.

I like the honey note in here, it reminds me of alice and jezebel which I both like.. the amber however.. leaves me a bit iffy.. I sort of like, and I can sort of smell the "sex" of it. But honestly the amber smells sort of hard on me, like a hard liquer or something. I think for me, honey needs some sort of floral to tone it down, cause the amber just isn't really working for me. I like O, but on my skin I can't really see what all the fuss is about.

amaaaazingly beautiful... I put this one on my wishlist due to the name more than the notes, as nothing really caught my eye, but this is wonderful. At first warm dry cinnamon and then some sort of soft woody floral that reminds me of something that I have no clue what it is, but I love it! Sweet and soft and woodsy. I wish I knew what the floral notes in here were. Lasted me almost all day too. Definitly goes on the 5ml list!

obviously this reminds me of oneroi, except this one is a bit more tart and herby. I don't really get any jasmine, but lots of lavander and crisp. A little bit acrid maybe... Does it work? I put this on and at first whiff of it started feeling really relaxed and sleepy. I put on some more before I went to bed and I was out pretty quickly and slept deeply. I did have sort of crazy dreams though, same thing seems to happen with oneroi. Maybe I need to try the one that counters bad dreams...hmm..

i loved this one wet, sweet yummy caramel and chocolate and all things sticky and tasty! I smelled like a bakery or something, but sadly the dry down leaves me with only chocolate. I mean, I like it, it's a sweet friendly chocolate (not like kali), but it's not what I was looking for, especially after being tempted by all the glory of gluttony when it was wet. a good scent, but my skin seemed to eat everything but the chocolate

This is the cleanest, most crisp floral I've tried to date. It smells white and pure and sharp and very very clean. I would love to put this on if i didn't have a chance to shower, because it smells sooo clean. It smells cold almost it's so clean and white. There is no juicy sweet in here at all. This would have to be one of my very favorite florals. Nice!

hmmmn... I'm not getting really getting fruit here. I'm getting xmas tree that smells ever so slightly like cat pee. Maybe this is just cause my cat has a habit of peeing on xmas trees, so it's a familiar scent for me but hmm.. maybe I can detect a little pineapple.. a very curious scent, I can certainly see how it would remind someone of xmas. This is nice, once that cat pee has dried down, but not very me alas.

again, wonderful wonderful almonds at first and then POOF all gone! sniffle... the dry down is still nice though, I get a hint of jasmine, but it's really nice. After new orleans I was afraid of jasmine, was now I think maybe it was just that particular blend. anyway, it is very musky and spicy, smells almost peppery to my nose. staying power was so so and was completely gone by the end of the day. I think I'll use up the imp, but it's a bit too musky for me.

this one is so soft, and gentle. it smells like a milky warm soap, but not in that bad soapy way. It smells clean, and white. I like it alot! I think it may be a bit too soft for me though cause I like being able to smell what I'm wearing, but this one was really comforting and softly milky. Wonderful!

this was nice, and smelled like a deep floral mixed with a sweet brown sugary smell. I liked it alot at first, but it faded into something a little bit soapy, or maybe candley on me. A nice blend, but it didn't really steal my heart away from all the other wonderful blends.

amazing! it smells just like a leather jacket or old leather ottoman. Not my cup of tea, but amazingly dead on with fresh clean leather smell!

very rich and busrting with juicy, and with lots of, dare I say it, sex? The musks and all smell very sexy to me, however, this was not so good as a day scent for me as it was too stong and made me feel nervous. This would be awesome as a night time/going out scent though. I get vanilla, cherry, spice and what smells to me almost like pepper. Very heady and loong lasting power. It's been on 12 hours almost and still going strong. I like this one, but i think it would suit someone with a bolder personality better.

This is one of the most well blended scents I've tried so far. In the bottle and first on I get really sharp grapefuit but after about half an hour I get a very smooth calm, soft and fruity scent. It reminds me of something from my childhood by I have no clue as to what! This smells to me like what an emperor would wear. Very smooth, exotic and secretive. I like it alot! I like the lavander and chamomile. Very calming I think/ I don't know if I love it yet, but I may come to after a few more wears.

well, it smells like a gingery lake. Or wet cement. with flowers... This is my first aquatic scent I really didn't know what to expect at all. I think overall I am pleasantly surprised. It smells wet and dark with ginger and floral notes that I can't really put my finger on. I like it, but I can't really figure out why. It feels sort of mysterious on, like unchartered depths. I don't think I'd buy a bigger bottle just cause the ginger and water together are somewhat unfamiliar to my nose, but it really is an amazing scent in terms of capturing the scent of a lake out in the wild with all the flowers around the banks.

This is pretty much exactly like the description. Inscence mingled with a whole lot of purple scents. It's a very deep and dark scent, very smokey and very soft. I can get hints of the violet and some other flowers I really can't identify. Although it smells almost like a plum wine on me too. Very pleasant, but muted. This one definitly doenst jump out at me, but I find it very cozy and warm and reminds me a bit of coming into the warmth after a cold winter walk. edit to add that this one has really grown on me and I love the insence that it leaves on me. Very much a churchy old fashioned insence and not that patchouli stuff I hate..

I'm sorry to say that this is one of my least favorites ever. bleeh. cough syrup with a hint of clove. I don't even want to open it cause it will make my fingers smell like the stuff my mom would force into me when I was a sick as a kid. I guess it's the alcohol in it, but it certainly does not agree with me at all.

I don't get any pumpkin in here at all! My skin must be crazy! I do however get a really super creamy soft warm spiced vanilla and graham cracker pie crust smell. Yummy! I am a bit dissapointed at my skin not doing the pumpkin but I really love this one anyway cause the vanillayness is awesome.

on first impression this is very similar to march hare. Only somewhat less evil with the florals instead of the clove. I must say I prefer this one to march hare as apricot goes. It's a very bright scent although muted a bit by the florals. Very nice!

yum, i was worried about the tobacco and chocolate in this cause kali didn't like me, but this is great! I get lots of warm brown sugar and what I think is desert blooms all wrapped up a swirl of smoke. Very much a fall scent and very very lovely!

I thought this one would smell more juicy, but I still like it. It is isn't a ripe pear on me, but more a very dry wind that managed to pick up quite a bit of fruityness on the way over. It's sweet and peary, but still very dry smelling on me. My bf said it reminded him of what his 4th grade teachers that he had crushes on would smell like, and I can see that. It is sort of a frumpy yet innocently attractive scent. Nothing too exciting, but great to put on after a shower when you want to smell sweet but clean.

ooh, I like the spices in this, and this is my first carnation scent so I'm not quite sure as being able to pinpoint it, but I think I like it. I'll have to give this one another try, cause the musk leaves me sort of undecided. ADDED April 9: This smells manly on me! Very manly. Like some rugged, sweaty guy w/ a spicy cologne. I like the spices ok, but the musk is just way to masculine for me. In the swap pile you go.

At first I can't quite decide if I like this one or not, but once it starts drying down I can pretty confidently say that I don't like it too much. I can smell the chocolate, but it is a really bitter dry chocolate on me, I also get some sort of scent reminiscent of hard liquer, maybe sherry. The flowers and tobacco are there too, but they do not get along together on me. Too bitter for me, and maybe I just don't like tobacco.
