    Marie

    Ah, my lovely Marie, you are what I have been searching for. A pure and true violet scent sweetened and made youthful. Poor Marie, locked away in the Diabolus section -- to me you smell like springtime and innocent young ladies.

    Cathode

    Wow, this is so beautiful! It's not what I was expecting at all. My mind caught hold of the name and the mints, so I thought this would be something sharp and electric, but the moss is really key here. It's very soft and green with just the tiniest hint of mint if I really look for it. If it's electricity, it's not the static shock kind. Here's an image: a roadside transformer humming beneath an encroaching mass of vegitation still damp with early morning dew. As a weird little sidebar, I completely hated the way this smelled in the vial, so much that I wasn't sure I wanted to put it on my skin. It was very sharp and strange, all I could get was a nasty mint. But as soon as it started to dry the moss rose up gloriously and the mint faded almost completely. I love it more and more the longer I wear it, and it LASTS all day. I might need a bottle.

    Regan

    I'm having a strange sort of co-dependant relationship with this oil. I sniffed it, and immediatly despised it, so, of course, it was the only imp I took with me on a weekend trip. Maybe I was just being perverse. Maybe I was hoping it would grow on me. But I wore it all weekend. I still dont like it. Not at all. But I keep wearing it. I'm not familiar with the notes in this except for the vanilla, so I don't know what it is that's putting me off. It's a sweet blend with something very strange underneath. I've been trying to think what it reminds me of all weekend, and the best I can come up with is that it's vaguely medicinal. Like flowers in a sick room - that's an off-putting description, I know. Really, I do think this would smell good to a lot of people, but it's doing something strange to me. And, as luck would have it, this blend lasts for hours and hours on my skin. I think I'd better swap this away or else I'll end up smelling like this strange, sweet, poisonous girl for the rest of my life.

    Brimstone

    This is my first reveiw, and I think I picked a hard one. I don't know where to start with this blend. I expected to hate it (received in a lot off ebay) but it turned out to be my favorite of the bunch. I'm still not sure I would recommend it to anyone. I think many people would smell this and right away thing "ew, burning plastic," but, boy, do I love it. That's LOVE with a capital LU. Burning plastic is only the very first impression when I open the bottle - as soon as I apply this to my skin the chemical smell dissapears and it becomes all camp-firey goodness. When I was a kid, we used to have bonfires out in the woods, and that is exactly what this smells like to me - a couple of kids on a warm summer night sitting around a bonfire telling ghost stories. It's wood fire and smoke and warmth - very comforting to me, but at the same time, I know it's going to be something that just doesn't work for a good number of people. I sit here sniffing my wrists absolutely in awe of the lab. Brimstone is the most unique perfume I've ever tried. (yes, I know, "most unique" is rotten grammer. Oh well...)
