    Regan

    in vial:floral sweet and sour wet: wonderful vanilla with a bit of powdery floral. later: the blend of these notes has turned into the scent of a vanilla baby powder. While I love the vanilla, I am not a fan of the other.

    The Apothecary

    in vial:very herbal wet: sharp but not bad. herbal and mossy. this is getting darker as it dries. Now it is turning sweet and nicer. I really like this. later: This has gotten stronger. It remains herbal. I'm not sure where the sweetness comes from, it does not smell like a floral or fruity sweet. I may have to get a bottle of this one.

    Jack

    In Vial: Smells like pumkin butter cookies Wet: Whoa! this is really foody. Still buttery and pumkin but with a hint nutmeg. Later. Hasn't changed much but now I can smell the hint of peach. This is really great if you like foody.

    The Red Queen

    In Vial: Mmm. Almond oil and cherries Wet:Strong almond oil at first and then the cherries get sweeter. This is really good. Later: This gets kind of weird smelling. Now it is a type of berry scent that is more like plum but not in the usual Bpal way. I don't like the end result on this one.

    Nuclear Winter

    In Vial: clean, minty, light perfumey Wet: Slightly sweet mint and something like wet fruits. Maybe a touch of sinus clearing eucalyptus Later: The mint has disappeared along with the eucalyptus. I am left with a sweet wet fruit scent.

    Amsterdam

    In Vial: Whew! strong and green Wet: a little pungent. This remarkably smells like off spray to keep bugs away. I think this association might ruin it for me. Later: Well it still smells like Off to me. I cannot get past it

    Succubus

    In vial= green moss Wet-moss with vinegar. This is strong Later- this gets even stronger. Continues to smell mossy. To me this smells nothing like the notes listed. Smells very outdoorsy.

    The Flower Song

    In vial:sweet, sugary fruit Wet- something smells sour mixed with sugary fruit scent. Now it is getting better. This is a very light scent. Later: This is still light but gets a little stronger. It does not change much from first application after the sour smells goes away. It smells like wet fruits and sugar. Couple hours : this smells completely different now. Very berry.

    Lampades

    ... Their scent is the crisp, inviting bittersweet tang of cranberry with smoky dark lilies, heady, sensual musk, a tingle of ginger and a brush of Mediterranean spices. in vial: this is nice and sexy. wet:Yes, this is a very sexy scent. A deep, rich scent. Smells sweet. Musky. As this dries I can really smell the cranberries. later: this now smells like cranberries with a hint of musk (i think it's red musk). I really like this better than most blends containing berries. The musk is a very nice complement to the cranberry.

    Plunder

    The scent of a pirate's bumboat, overflowing with stolen wares: tea leaf, cassia, cinnamon bark, clove, allspice, sandalwood, tobacco, peppercorn, and nutmeg. in vial: strong clove with a touch of cinnamon wet: smells a little bit waxy but still clove and cinnamon with a slight bitterness from the bark. later: this scent is simple but warm and spicy. will be great alone or layered

    Moon of Ice

    in vial: pine wet: pine which always makes me think of men's cologne. Something creamy. This is nice but I think i would like it better on a man. This is starting to smell soapy but I don't mind with this type scent because I think of 'clean-ness'. later: couple of hours later this smells just like thunder moon. I never did smell the eucalyptus, it could be that it is just well blended in the background. This is not bad, soap and pine. Would love this on a man.

    Yerevan

    In Vial: mmm. Nice light floral and fruity. Fresh On: Nice, I like this. Sweet but not in a headache giving way. Its a fresh sweet, like cutting into fresh fruit. Now I'm starting to smell the plum and it is deepening a little. Wow the plum is really coming on strong. Later: This has turned into mostly plum with a little rose. It is completely different from what it smells like in the imp and wet. If you like plum you'll like this. I think my skin amps plum.

    The Spell of Amorous Love

    In Vial: Tangerine Wet: This smells lovely! I know it does not have citrus or orange but this smells like a light orange scent without being citrusy. Drydown: Now this smells a little perfumey and a lot floral. Its not bad but I liked it better wet and I like it enough to keep my imp and maybe get a bottle.

    Pele

    In Vial: Fresh floral Wet: This does smell like tropical flowers but I don't know which ones. Later: This is a lovely floral but unfortunately it is one of those that is super sweet and gives me a headache.

    Pinched With Four Aces

    In Bottle: Carmelized sugar and a hint of something fresh Wet: Mmm. Brown sugar with coffee. Not too strong though. As it dries it gets deeper, richer, less sweet. Later: This is not an overly coffee scent for those who don't like coffee. It is also not overly masculine like I thought it would be. It is not something I personally would wear because I like more feminine scents. With everything that it is not, it IS like no blend/perfume, here or elsewhere, that I have ever smelled before and I Love It! This is *almost* foody. I don't like foody, but I like this. It is sweeter than I expected but it is a brown sugar/carmel type sweetness. It remains sweet and yummy throughout with only a hint of coffee. I never smelled the cinnamon, but I don't think it matters, this blend is wonderful!!

    Phantasm

    In Vial: Lemon lime On Skin:MMM wonderful! Smells like green skittles taste, with just a hint of floral. Really lovely! Later: This is so light and citrusy. The citrus is the strongest note tea coming into play next and just a hint of floral. This will be great for summer. This is so wonderful. If you love citrus, you Must try this!!

    Lick It Again

    In Vial: Sugar and mint with a hint of vanilla Wet: Stronger, but still sugar and mint with a touch of creaminess. This is wonderfully yummy! Later:I have had this for a while and just forgot to review it. I am a BIG fan of mint, sugar, and vanilla so this is all win for me. This drysdown to a scent similar to cream soda after the mint dissapates. I love this one, all year round.
