So I figured it'd be better for me to ramble about my opinions here. I don't have money to order now, so most likely I'll order Monday. Sad, I know, but I am willing to wait!

 

MILK MOON 2007

A fertile scent, generous, life-affirming, and swelling with a sense of triumph, warmth, and abundance: sweet milk, golden honey, fig fruit, pomegranate, dates, and white grape.

 

YES. oh yes. I may even order two bottles. I don't know how this one could go wrong on me because I enjoy every single note listed.

 

MINOTAUR

The Bull of Minos, guardian of the Labyrinth in Knossos. A deep, swarthy black musk dusted by a dark, resinous blend of sacred bisabol myrrh, atramentous benzoin, tsori, balsam, and galbanum.

 

Sounds good to me. Sometimes black musk can be a bit musty smelling on me, but I think combined with these other notes it should behave itself. I really love myrrh and benzoin, so, bottle!

 

 

++ LIMITED EDITION: SUSPICIENDO DESPICIO

TAURUS 2007

Fixed Earth: the essence of possession.

Rose, daisy, apple blossom, violet, poppy, columbine, thyme, and mint.

 

yep. This year I want to collect all of the signs, so of course I am getting a bottle. I love thyme, so I am a happy girl. This may be a locket only weart since rose can go sharp on me, btu that is OK.

 

 

++ LIMITED EDITION: APRIL FOOLS

POISSON D'AVRIL

Not at all fishy; rather, quite Springy! Innocence spiked with a little bit of foolishness: Lenten rose, crested iris, Virginia bluebell, primrose, moss phlox, blue crocus, daffodil, and dewy tulip with a touch of sugar blossom and honey.

 

hmmm...I dunno. don't think this scent is for me....but the collector in me waffles. I really love iris, honey and well, sugar but daffodil has gone wrong on me before, and so has phlox. Perhaps I will try to get a decant first, but I am pretty sure this will not smell good on me.

 

 

MONSTER BAIT: TOKYO STOMP

Beckons all giant creatures from gargantuan reptiles and humongous moths! These babies are sure to crush everything from dollhouses to shopping malls! Can even be used to summon colossal robots in a pinch! A sweet and crisp vanilla mint!

 

Yes. Sounds perfect. I missed snowblind (that was the other vanilla mint, right?) so I have to try this one!

 

MONSTER BAIT: VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY

Menacing, maniacal, and slick with the one-liners … this guy does it all with a wink and a smile! Savage apricot, depraved dry woods, and psychopathic patchouli covered by a disarmingly sweet mishmosh of caramel, brown sugar, hazelnut, and butterscotch. Be warned: this oil will instigate possession in most puppets, including some marionettes and the occasional finger puppet.

 

This one seems to be the most promising to me. I love apricot, woods, aptchouli, caramel...hell, I love all of the notes! I am definitely ordering at least a bottle of this.

 

 

MONSTER BAIT: BLOODY MARY

Why waste time chanting her name in the mirror 13 times? Bedevil your next slumber party the easy way! Chunky, glistening red fruits with sweet cream accord, black clotted cherry, and powdered sugar!

 

This could be great. I loved Sugar Skull (it's one of my very favorites) but I am not sure about the cherry part of this. Sometimes too much cherry can give me a headache (like in Kabuki). I think I will look for a decant and then decide from there.

 

and...the dogs This made me smile, a lot. Although most of these seem quite masculine to me. We'll see...

 

A BACHELOR'S DOG

Soft musk, leather, and Brazilian cigar tobacco.

 

For me, leather + tobacco = headache, so no...

 

A BOLD BLUFF

Cherry tobacco, tonka, and hops.

 

This one could be quite good. However, I think I am going to wait for the reviews. Again, ti's the cherry scaring me.

 

 

HIS STATION AND FOUR ACES

Lilac fougere, white musk, and leather accord.

 

This sounds verrry masculine, in a cologne-y way. That's always been the kind of masculine scent that I can't wear, so I will have to pass.

 

 

KELLY POOL

Worsted wool, teakwood, and bois du rose.

 

I think I would like this one. I love teakwood and rosewood as well, so I am probably going to risk it and buy a bottle.

 

 

NEW YEAR'S EVE IN DOGVILLE

Flirty perfume, dapper cologne, and effervescent champagne.

 

This one's my favorite painting, but I think the notes would smell quite bad on me...

 

 

ONE TO TIE, TWO TO WIN

Dewy grass, summer breezes, and dandelion clocks.

 

This one sounds good. I love anything that says "dewy grasses". bottle.

 

 

PINCHED WITH FOUR ACES

Colorado Maduro tobacco wrappers, cinnamon bark, coffee bean husk, and dry woods.

 

annd, this is the one that seems like it has the most enticing notes for me. I was waiting for another coffee scent and here it is! After Priala, I am loving the sound of cinnamon bark, so this is an obvious bottle purchase for me.

 

 

RIDING THE GOAT

A rich Masonic incense coupled with mahogany wood, ebony, and pipe smoke.

The notes in this also seem great. Possible bottle, might just wait it out for reviews for my budget's sake!

 

 

SITTING UP WITH A SICK FRIEND

Tobacco smoke and leather bowled over by a powerful smack of heady, classic perfume and a whiff of rose water.

 

No. rose anything plus tobacco and "classic perfume" seems like it would give me a headache.

 

 

STRANGER IN CAMP

Evergreen, damp grass, woodsmoke, birch bark, cedar, and Terebinth pine.

 

Seems interesting. I have a tone foresty scents right now so I may try to get a decant of this and/or wait for reviews.

 

 

This was a nice update. I like that there were totally different types of scents from the last update, as well. I'm especially happy about Milk Moon and the new coffee scent in the Salon. So...that's that. I think I most likely will split my order in two since it will be big (save the ones that are around longer for later...).

 

Yay! Ok now it is time to take my icky, greasy self to the shower, so my day can finally get a move on...
