    Black Forest

    This is a lovely forest scent, pine perfection! I've been looking for a good pine scent for layering with dirt to come up with the perfect woodsy smell. This has good throw though and is quite strong on me, so it may not work, but still one of the best forest scents ever!

    Worm Moon 2008

    Was dying to try, due to my dirt fixation! In the bottle: a chemically dirt, strange smell.. but I definately get the dirt. Wet: Oooo this is like my fave Premature Burial, but the floral is lighter... like springy floral instead of funereal floral. Drydown: The dirt is divine, and instead of dying down is slowly amping on my skin. The dirt is a little "wetter" than graveyard dirt. Love!

    Hunter Moon 2007

    wow strong! this is a powdery musk on me, the description notes had my attention grabbed but I'm really not getting them. Its like a baby powder and musk combined. Its pretty, as far as musky baby powder goes, but not something I'd wear often.

    Eleggua

    I cant believe I havent done a review for this yet! Eleggua is my wake-up scent, when I'm not able to get up (I have hypothyroidism and sometimes I just literally cant wake) hubby brings me the Eleggua and it brings me out of it. It burns a slightbit on the skin, but not in an unpleasant way, a refreshing kind of cooling minty burn... like cooling gels. The scent is mint/chocolate, a different kind, not a candy-ish scent, more sophisticated. One of my favorites! (and needed at times!)

    Geek

    Back in the days when I felt my "sexiest" (say 23/24 y/o) I had this obsession with this cinnamon incense I was able to get at a co-op. It was a natural incense, not a sweet, candy type. It was the most sensual thing, it made me feel like supervixen! I also had a bondage obsession, and did alot of d.i.y. bondage gear (we wont get into that heh) I bought this for hubby, imagine what that sexy leather/cinnamon combo did to me???? Wow this is SO sexy!!! Why oh why are the best so hard to come by??

    Les Anges Déchus

    I was definately intrigued by the mention of this being a "girly de sade" ... but on me it all turns incensey. It starts off very strong soapish, but drys down to a co-mingling incense smell... like what my bpal bottle box smells like. Nice for a general scent, but not the unique leather tobacco blend I was hoping for.

    The Deep Ones

    This started out being mandarin oranges, finished off Irish Spring. Not that thats bad! *Sniffs* Okay, a fruity Irish Spring, which is just wierd enough for me to like. Edit: I swear, I just looked a few reviews up and saw the same thing I said. I cant believe my body didnt make this all wierd on me as it does everything else.

    Mary Read

    I tried this without reading the notes or reviews (which I dont do often) In Imp: First thought, "oh this is different!" I could smell airy aquatics, A beautifully unique scent. Wet: This turns all high-hell floral on me. Very white floral. Read the notes to see what is in it, and was surprised to see the "salt air, ocean mist" because thats what I got exactly when I opened the bottle. Unfortunately that scent didnt transfer, and I have no idea what my skin is amping, because what I'm getting isn't in the notes at all! Soapy? I just cant put my finger on it. Drydown: still very floral and going strong Shame that this goes all floral and glad I got this as an imp, the notes all sound fantastic, just not on me.

    Perversion

    This is one sexy scent!!! I yelled out to hubby "oh this is definately perversion!" I could smell all of the notes, they at first put off a subtle licorice smell.. But dried down to rum, tobacco and leather in the background. I couldnt stop sniffing! Great throw and lasting power to this as well. 8 hours later I can still smell without bringing it to my nose. I LOVE this!

    Graveyard Dirt

    This was so hard for me to come by that I received it a week ago and just been eyeballing the bottle not wanting to try it and use any up! In the bottle: The best dirt ever! I love dirt, I have been on the huntdown of the perfect dirt scent, and while theres some good ones (premature burial is lovely) I wanted a singular note, and something that wasnt too "potting soil" flavored. This is pure dirt, with roots and moss, but theyre not "seperate" from the dirt, its a tangled mixture. It doesn't smell like bagged dirt, it smells like freshly upturned Pennsylvania shovel dirt. Which was exactly what I wanted. Wet: the same Drydown: I really hope this lasts forever on my skin. This stays the same from bottle to dry. Verdict: I dont ever want to even use this!! The most precious of precious. Best scent ever!

    Death Cap

    I a HUGE fan of dirt scents, I got this as a frimp and couldnt wait to try it out! In the imp: it smells like floral dirt, hoping for more dirt! Wet: Dirt!! Yay!! Its a nice dirt too, not like heavy potting soil dirt, that I still like, but I prefer this. Theres a papery powdery floral in the background, something very faint and very delicate. Drydown: The incence comes into play a bit, but I can still smell the dirt. I'm glad this isnt one that morphs the dirt away. I gotta get a bottle!

    Delirium

    Hubby and I were both sick last night so I needed something a little "pick me up" This sounded like the right scent for that. In bottle: I get a lot of rose, citrusy rose. Not bad. Wet: Roses and Lemon... this is a nice combination I woulnt have thought of, but the lemon doesnt stay long, and I dont get the apple at all. Drydown: Pure roses, A nice rose smell, but not what I was looking for to help quell the sick today. This would be perfect most other days, just a perfect single note rose.

    Incantation

    In the bottle: Oooo I love the smell of this, citrusy, woodsy... I can smell it all... Wet: The citrus stays but throws off a powdery scent (why do I get powder from so much?? I know its not the sandlewood) Drydown: Turns into a mens cologne, not a bad one, giving it to the hubby.

    Lysander

    In the bottle I thought for sure this was going to be another "hurry up and wash off" oils, But I've been fooled before so I gave it a shot... This is so nice on me!!! I smell Lilac, musk lilac, very faint lime... its powdery on me. Why don't I have more lilac?? I'm kinda glad the tonka doesnt come out on me, although I love tonka I think it would have ruined it. Nice lasting throw too... after 4 hours still get whiffs without sniffing wrists. I'm really glad I got a bottle of this!

    The Bloody Sword

    In the bottle I can really smell the blood tinged steel scent, with a hint of pepper so I was hoping that this would work well on me. On my skin however it turned to the most overpowering manly cologne smell... Drydown... a LONG drydown brought out the pepper and it doesnt smell as overpowering, but vaguely familiar, like a retail scent I've had before. this isnt a summer scent... holding off till winter!

    Nephilim

    Imp trial run.... Wet: I cant figure this one out, Its a chaos blend of scents, but at the same time something is oh so familiar. Its a powdery herbal almost alchohol smelling blend. astrigent? a little. Drydown: mentholy lavender and fig... I like it, makes me want a cigarette Nice chaotic smell... I like things that are hard to figure out!

    Upa Upa

    Trying this one out after I failed on another earlier.... In bottle: rotten fruits, in a good way. Maybe I'm getting a cold, god knows. Wet: Spiced rum. Heavy spiced rum. nothing but. Drydown: I'm getting cinnamon and spiced rum... was hoping for more of the coconut (very faint but there) *sigh*

    The Twisted Oak Tree

    Chemistry gone wrong!!! I wanted this to smell like the descript. Was happy to recieve the bottle bought from a forumite in the mail today, given an hour to dry down, its still horribly cheap perfumey on me. Jealous of everyone it worked on!!!

    October

    October is my favorite month because of the leaves, fires, all the smells that were described in this oil. Its strange, I dont get the notes in it, the leaves, the smoke, the sap... this dries to a sort of faded perfumey scent, BUT it does evoke autumn to me. Or maybe I wanted it to. *shrugs* Not what I expected or hoped for, but nice all the same.

    The Jersey Devil

    I love earthy smells so had to have this.... In the bottle: Almost like cough syrup, strong and tangy... Wet: Oooo strong, nice piney. Drydown: Cranberries!!! and Pine!!! what a nice combo! I cant pick up any of the other scents, but I like the combo I can smell. Glad I got a bottle

    Pumpkin II (2008)

    I was really looking forward to this from the descriptions. It smells lovely in the bottle, buttery pumpkin, I can mostly smell the tonka and pumpkin when applied... making it smooth and buttery. I very nice foody smell...like pumpkin cake. The lasting power is nil on me though... lasted maybe 2-3 hours before I had to really sniff wrists to get the scent. Sad, cause its nice!

    Burial

    Fresh from the lab today... In the bottle: dark and solemn. Wet: Dirt with a light floral.... .... let the morphing begin..... Drydown: Dusty roses... a really nice rose scent. Roses are strong on me and I usually steer clear of most but this is a nice one. And here is where my strange chemistry comes into play, it now smells exactly like burning frankincense. just as if you were to burn it on charcoal. It drove me crazy trying tio figure it out, but thats it. I love this.. although its not what I expected!

    Pumpkin I (2008)

    This was my first pumpkin. (Of many I'm sure) I loved this strange concoction!! In the bottle :Spicy buttery pumpkin Wet: FIREBALLS!!!!! This smelled like fireballs on me, EXACTLY like them. Hubby agreed, fireballs with pumpkins. Drydown: Just a pleasant spicy pumpkin now. Nice!
