Crikey! I get a scent of amber, currants, almonds and ... gasoline?! VERY strong, almost unable to wear it out of fear? For a few minutes I expected it to burn my skin off. After a while it does soften, almost goes a little powdery and the scary gasoline smell disappears, the throw is not nearly as strong as I expected it to be once it settled on my skin. It's actually a calm, exotic, warm and enveloping blend, it has a very tight top note too. I can hardly smell it actually after 10 minutes. Hmm.

When I wear this I get a lot of men telling me how fragrant I smell. I ask them if it's bad or good and they say they love it. It's a really male magnet! Nothing else I wear gets the attention this does. I think it very much smells like a sticky, slightly spicey caramel. It's not something I would wear all the time but it's quite sexy without being too deep.

This did smell very spikey and strong in the imp bottle so I was reluctant to try it. I slathered it on today anyway because I thought it would be silly to avoid! At first it was a nice fir smell with an interesting touch of fresh shoots, well, that's what it reminded me of! And it REALLY cleared my head, I had a better focus after wearing this and I was impressed! It softened about an hour later and I could smell what seemed like vanilla or coconut underneath it, it is beaaaautiful. I really like this scent and I am glad the sweetness came through for me unlike it did on other people, I feel so lucky

Mmm! I got this frimp off the_witching_hour in a swap! I have been looking forward to trying it for a while, I love the name and the soil note is such an aphrodisiac for me, hehe. First on this smellt very green, herby and medicinal with a strong dirt note. It was wafting around me very very strong, almost had a clearing efect on my head. 20 minutes later it softened and sweetened now I am smelling a shiney soft incense-y berry scent beneath a dusty layer of pine with a hint of soil. It's quite warm and comforting now, a nice, warm glittering burgundy as opposed to the striking green siren it first started off as. I like both stages equally! Will need a bottle, I hope it doesnt fade too quickly!

I quite liked this but I did lather it on without realising such a delicate floral scent in the vial could be so strong! It is herby and floral and is very feminine but with a masculine edge. However, it does seem to sour after about 5 hours

This didn't strike me very much in the vial but it makes a wonderful transformation once it is on. I get the impression it would smell nice on clean, unscented skin otherwise it could go a bit foul.. HOWEVER, it is heavenly. A slightly sweet, gentle smokey spice. I get the colour bisque from this. It lasts quite a long time too! I wore it to a party last night and despite the smokey environment I can just about still smell it 18 hours later!

I need a while for this to grow on me. Usually I like my scents with a delicate sweetness or soft, sensuality running through but this is very UNCOMPRIMISING! It is sharp, violent and angry. In fact it smells vaguely like sandalwood which smells oh so masculine and strong on me so my first impression as I tried it on (not knowing what it was) was, "one for the boyfriend." However, it is beginning to get a bit incensy now I have had it on for 3 hours, it's still strong though! That means the wear on me is very long-lasting. This isn't firey like cinammon but dark and painful. It makes me feel protected.

I didn't think it was possible to like this more than Samhain but I LOVE this.. so much. It is cool, dark and eerie with a bit of a ghostly swirl of smoke whilst Samhain is very harvesty and orange. There is a sweet similarity to them. I have no idea what the notes in here smell like individually (besides the clove..which doesn't really pop out) but it's so gorgeous I can't handle it! I just love it when the wind blows and I get a whiff of my own scent. As for throw etc, it's not as strong as Samhain but it still gets the attention of people. Don't you just love it when your friends tell everybody to sniff you

My first Rose scent without the blasted Jasmine I think the lily is the most prominent note though and lilies remind me of my 18th birthday and the glittering spring time when I bought loads and loads of them to dcorate my house. (thank you for the frimp Beth!!) This is so soft and floral, it reminds me of soft pale blankets. But it is very ladylike, if it wasn't for that dark musk in the blend this would be more bby rather than lady. *Sigh* It's so romantic. I wouldn't have gone for this but most of the Love Potion blends make me react positively despite the ingredients being ones I would not go for.

First sniff! Citrusy tobbacco smoke. Well, it has the smooth, smothering elements of thick smoke but witha citrust bite. I don't think I can do a very good review because I just had a Lush bath with oily bath melts and I can still smell it on my skin. Anyway. I can definitely tell there is Sandalwood in here because my skin really amps that ingredient up; almost all sandalwood scents smell VERY manly on me but there is sweet mouthwatering juicy mango which playfully jumps through the sandalwood every now and again. I have a feeling Sandalwood will be the last note standing but that's the best I can do without Something Wicked confusing my nose. I think this is one I will do my best to swap with my manbeast for his Jazz Funeral, I bet this would really suit him because his skin doesnt fume sandalwood like mine does and ironically smells more delicate on him Fingers crossed.

I think this is so pretty. Neo-Tokyo is Gennivre's younger, airier sister.

Wow I love this! It is sweet and creamy but also quite musky. I have no idea what Dragon's Blood Resin smells like on its own so I'll have to give my Dragon's Musk a sniff to strike a comparison when I get back home. This is so beautiful though. I need a bigger bottle.

I Love this! I REALLY DO! It smells like currants and moss on me. Someone please gimme another imp or a bottle? I'll do anything

Wow, spice and fire! Red hot cinnamon! Hot tamales! And a tiny bit of orangey sweetness too. I like this. It's only just dried down on me and I put it over mata hari which I washed off in disgust earlier but it smells nice with it! This is interesting, I think I am amping the spices and I'll wear this when I want to get noticed.

Goodness. I was about to go nuts for not noticing the Jasmine note in the description and becoming overcome by the curiousity for the other notes by buying 5ml. Jasmine is overwhelming on me. When I first sniffed the bottle I thought, "Oh no another powdery floral!?" and the same on my skin. Very very overwhelming. I could not smell anything else. However, I sniffed the bottle again which is when I found the coffee and after applying on my other wrist I could smell a dark undertone. It's bitter but still POWDERY. NOOO! I should have ordered that 5ml of Dragon's Milk instead. I think giving this time to settle down and allowing my nose to recover.. I might stop smelling like an old lady. I wonder if I'd get compliments for this (edit: my mother says it smells of jasmine powder and my dad just insulted my fragrance. He doesnt like this but he likes how samhain smells and goodness my skin ITCHES I need to figure out if I have an allergy to one of the ingredients). Bah. Any takers...?
