    Hades

    incredible, i am completely astounded by beth's genious this is deep, woodsy, earthy, slightly floral, the floral is so very difficult to pin down, it is a wafting hide and go seek floral, the resinous evergreen type note is most prominent, followed by the ambergris, and what i thought was orris, but i don't see that in the description...huh? anway it is a gorgeous blend, i definitely will wear.

    Pele

    in the vila, and wet i can hardly detect anything. just a ery very faint clean scent as it dries it became a very strong floral, most plumeria, w/ a teensy touch of ginger.

    Regan

    this is almost all vanilla on me, there is a hint of something sweeter then vanilla, but i can't place what it is. i LOVE this one.

    The Hanging Gardens

    wow, i almost don't know what else to say, wow. this is truely an expertly blended gorgeous garden scent, the fruits and floral blend so gorgeously together it is hard to tell one one ends and another begins. this is sweet, juicy, beautiful garden, the kind i wish i could grow i want a huge bottle of this!

    Glasgow

    hmmm, i am wondering..... no blackberries, or even the slightest hint of fruit. this is very very green on me, and a touch of ozone. heather is there but barely it is a soft clean almost soapy but not quite scent. i was hoping for some juicy berries *sigh* my wonky chemistry is at it again

    Nuit

    in the vial it is a strong floral....not real sure about this one wet: jasmine, but as others have said it isn't the jasmine i am used to, it doesn't have that sharp metal edge. not bite. after maybe 5 seconds i get a very brief soapy scent but it passes after a second or two. as it dries: teh jasmine is taking a back seat, or atleast mingling w/ the other passangers, the incense is the note in the forefront w/ a nice floral background making things a wee bit femenine. all in all not bad, and by far the better jasmine scent i have tried.

    Graveyard Dirt

    hmmm the le graveyard dirt is somewhat like the twilight blend and yet nothing like it. it definitely smells like dirt moist, freshly turned dirt. but it is not a sharp and face slapping as the twilight version.

    Hetairae

    wow i hadn't read the description before swapping for this, i open the imp and bam honey, which is a good thing, o is my bedtime scent, it is sexy, relaxing, and perfect for a goodnight's sleep, but this is no o. wet it is all patchouli and honey, mostly honey as it dries the fig is very prominent, mmmmm honeyed figs, w/ a tough of patchouli to keep it from being sickly sweet. all in all this is gorgeous, it is reminecent of o. and le petite morte, but it has it's own thing goin on, the patchouli makes this incredible!

    Beltane 2005-06

    hmmm it is definitely a spring floral. i get alot of hyacith, possibly tulip? and carnation. wet it is alot of spring floral, fresh spring flowers as it dries it becomes very much carnation on me there is a hint of the bulby flowers still but it isn't as strong. it is very femenine and graceful smelling. all in all just simply beautiful (and i am not usually a huge floral fan other then some roses and violets)

    The Hierophant

    in the bottle it is very herbal, like a cousin to the lion as soon as it touches my skin it becomes very cinnamony, and cloves, and pepper, and possibly a hint of i think lime but almost like lime pith not the flesh i agree w/ holly, it is a relative of three witches altho it has a wee bit something else.

    Chaos Theory

    Each bottle of Chaos Theory is truly unique, a fragrant fractal, and exercise in the joy of chance and uncertainty! Each is a one-of-a-kind, utterly random combination of scents, the composition of which is based on whim, mood and gut instinct. Each bottle is numbered, and comes with a small parchment certificate. chaos theory CXIII in the bottle this smells sharply of cleaning fluid? on it becomes more herbal, although herbal w/ a bite i think there is a hint of floral here too, possibly jasmine, but there is also something going very cleaner like on me.

    White Light

    hmm this was very floral to me, possibly gardenia, when it was wet, as it dried it became a more herbal floral blend, it is defnitely a white scent, and very light and airy after drydown this is a beautiful voodoo blend

    Seven African Powers

    in the bottle...resinous one yes resinous, and some vetiver it seems a bit sharp, and green but not minty green more like leafy dark green i get mostly resins and vetiver, no mint, nothing sweet, there may be a hint of muskiness here too but it is playing a supporting role

    Fiery Command

    hmm in the bottle it is very much dragon's blood, it has a white floral back note, but dragons blood is definitely the prominent note on: spicy, but not like cinnamon type spice, possibly saffron? but sweeter then saffron that spice note is the thing i smell the most, i wish i could put my finger one what it is, the dragons blood is still there but very faint, and the floral is all but gone, it everyonce in a while simmers through but not in the forefront for sure, this is a beautiful blend

    Georgia Peach

    in the bottle this was fuzzy navel straight up....yummy as it dried it was not as intense, and became more of a peach smell rather then peach and alcohol beautiful

    King of Spades

    hmm on me it is mostly berries, and plumi get a swift breeze of vanilla wafting through the fruitiness, and oakmoss lingering faintly in the background, as it dries teh berry scent fades slightly leaving an earthy sexy scent, yes it is the perfect counterpart to QoS....sigh

    Storm

    strom smells just like lemon thyme i grow in my herb garden, it is fresh, clean, lemony, and a bit herbal, i expected alot more ozone, but am pleased it is not that.

    Verdandi

    in the vial: apples and spices on it becomes amber w/ an apple kick, there is definitely some spice here like spiced cider, and teh apple seems like a granny smith. this is gorgeous!

    Rapture

    in the vial it was myrrh and jasmine hits my skin and becomes MUSK w/ a hnt of jasmine, my hormones must be making everything w/ musk go haywire today this is so ultra musky

    Dance of Death

    i must concur w/ sarada. this is an excellent review the patchouli is the front man on me, but the myrrh sweetens it a bit, and it is very earthy. all in all a beautiful blend beth does it again.

    Satyr

    in the imp: cloves, a hint of pine, and civet ,,,ahh must be my day for civet on: was there anything in this besides civet? it is strong covet if i put my nose up to it my eyes water, but w/ my hands down on the keyboard i get a bit of the other notes w/ a drizzle of civet...hmmm
