    Tempest

    In the Bottle: This smells exactly like walking near the ocean during a warm summer storm. It's not the fishieness of the ocean, thank god, but rather the deep wet. On me: wet, wet wet. I can kind of smell a bit of floral behind it, making me thnk of a stormy day or two I had when travelling. There is a definite chill in this one. It's very crisp, and very aquatic. Lovely, but too water for me. I am very happy to have given it a shot though

    The Raven

    In the Bottle: Something very familiar here. A mellow deep floral, with the musk sitting in the background On Me: The violet comes forward. I think this is what I found familiar in the bottle. It's a warmer scent than I expected. Honestly though, I love all things Corbae related, so I was bound to love this. Much more musky on the skin than in the bottle, but it's paired very nicely with the dark florals. It's definitely a night time scent. i see blue blacks, shimmering green and purple. The sandalwood is very light and gives it a bit of a powdery scent. Lovely.

    Three Brides

    In the bottle: Rose and orchid On me: Rose, Carnation and orchid. The florals just jump off of my skin screaming for attention. I was really hoping to smell more of the vanilla, amber, tonka and sandalwood, but so far, no. I'll give it more time and come back to it. Right now, it's too soapy for me.

    October

    In the Bottle: Leaves and smoke On Me: This is great. It is almost exactly like an October wind. Cold, with the warmth of leaves and sap, with the smoke in the background. I don't know how Beth does it.

    The Death of Autumn

    In the Bottle: Leaves, clove and some floral On Me: This is a favourite. I may need a 5ml of this. The clove and amber bring such a warmth. The leaves are subtle, but lovely, with the florals in the far back, keeping it alive. LOVE it

    Les Fleurs du Mal

    In the bottle: Wisteria, lilac and tangy rose On me: Wisteria and Lilac, with Ross in the background. Honestly, way too soapy for me. I don't think florals and I get along.

    Dublin

    In the bottle: Damp leaf and rose On me: Woods, some spice, and a bit of rose. This is so nice! I wish Glasgow had worked out as well, but at least my Irish blood is pleased I'm very sad that this has been discontinued

    The Dormouse

    In the Bottle: Tea, peony and some herbs On Me: Unfortunately, the tea sinks into the background. The peony and the herbs are loud and distracting in this one, making it a bit soapy and almost a bit swampy. It's sweet, but I think it's too floral for me. It's like taking a deep breath after picking a flower. There is the green from the stem, the full scent of the blossom and a little bit of pollen dust. I'm not sure though. I'll give it some time to decide.

    Fae

    In the Bottle: I don't know why it took me so long to review this one as I love it so. Bergamot, heliotrope, peach On Me: The bergamot rises to the top, like a grey big cup of Lady Grey tea. The Heliotrope and peach make it sweet and pretty, with the musk and oakmoss keeping it green and fresh. LOVE this scent. Love it. Need a 5ml

    Perversion

    In the bottle: Leather, tonka and rum On Me: Amusingly, the rum makes me think of my time in Cuba, though this scent seems to be more naughty than I was. Oh, it's yummy! The tobacco comes out and gives it balance. I think I love tonka. This is tasty and yummy and I want to roll around in it. It's bringing up thoughts of naughtiness from my past! Haha. This is great.

    Languor

    In the bottle: Lilies, and not sure what else. I'm not familiar with these notes On Me: Lilies, maybe the narcissus. Again, I'm not super familiar with these notes, so its hard to pick them out. It's a little smokey, definitely hazy, and definitely floral. I'm not sure that it's for me.

    Othello

    In the bottle: Musk, spices and a faint rose On Me: Sweet musk, lovely soft roses, with the faintest whisper of spices. Normally this has alot of throw on me, but today my hormones must be keeping it in check. I love this scent, and its perfect for bellydancing. It makes me feel sexy. It's definitely got an exotic aura to it. I was worried at first that it might be too masculine on me, but instead, I feel even more feminine and lovely in it. A definite keeper.

    Cairo

    In the Bottle: Incense On Me: Warm incense and skin. It's not the smoke of the incense, but rather the resins themselves, as they warm. This is a lovely scent. Unfortunately, not a lot of throw

    Lyonesse

    In the bottle: Butterscotch? O_o On Me: Oh my god, I love this. It's so yummy! The vanilla glows golden. The warm scents just mingle and dance on the skin. The florals bring life to this, and give it more dimension. So lovely! This is an instant favourite. I will need a 5ml

    Tisiphone

    In the bottle: Incense On Me: very soapy. I thought maybe this could work on me, but I guess not. I don't think ylang ylang and I get along. I'm disappointed. I was hoping for something really great with this one.

    Vice

    In the bottle: Holy dark chocolate cocoa batman! On Me: Reminds me of those wierd cupcake dolls of my childhood. You know the ones, where their skirts were bendy plastic that you fold out to make her a princess, and fold in to turn her into a cupcake? Chocolate with some kind of cream, and a hint of cherry and orange. Tasty, but a little plasticy.

    Three Witches

    In the Bottle: Cinnamon and cloves, and something sweet. Yum! On Me: Clove, pepper and a bit of sugar and cinnamon. Yummy and hot! There seems to be a faint musk or something underneath this one, so that it's not entirely spices. Something to anchor it all. It definitely softens on the skin after time.

    Snake Oil

    In the bottle: Sweet musk On me: Oh, I love this. Warm, vanilla, sort of ambery, just gorgeous. Glowing, sexy. Absolutely lovely. <3

    Samhain

    In the Bottle: Boozy, fir. On Me: Pure yum. Damp woods, clove, allspice, a bit of apple... perfect for it's name. Autumn and deliciousness in a 5ml bottle.

    Loviatar

    In the bottle: Amber, leather and musk. sexay On Me: This is a little strange to explain. It's sort of on the line for me: It almost becomes a cologne scent, and yet I feel it is feminine. Musk and leather give it bite. The amber and myrrh warm it up. This is such a sexy and strong scent to me. I wear it when I mean business, or when I need to borrow strength. A definite favourite.

    Alice

    In the Bottle: Honey, carnation and bergamot On Me: Such a comfort scent. All of the notes are strong in this one, though they blend in a very lovely way. Someone described it as "playing dress up" and I totally get that. It's a signature scent for me now.

    Anubis

    In the Bottle: Wow, this is so much more green than I was anticipating for an Egyptian scent On Me: The storax and balsam come to the front, with the herbs making everything seem very green and fresh. It warms on the skin with the myrrh, becoming more golden. A neat scent.

    Blood Amber

    In the Bottle: Dragon's Blood On Me: Yummy! Dragon's Blood and amber. I loves it It has the tang of "blood", with the warmth of the dragon's blood resin, and the glow of amber.

    The Lady of Shalott

    In the Bottle: A light floral, very aquatic, a little tart On me: Strangely, I have a scent/memory association with this one, relating to Sailor Moon. Wierd O_o Anyway, the description of this scent suits it perfectly, and I don't think I could describe it any better. It's very pretty. I do get a tiny bit of fruit out of this one. Maybe like a peach or mango.

    Shadow Witch Orchid

    In the Bottle: A beautiful aqautic floral On Me: Whoa, this gets strong on me. It's beautiful though. Very perfumey, but I like it. It's definitely a little dusky and ethereal, but I'm not so sure about subdued. At least not on me. It's a lovely blend of floral and green
