    The Atrocious Attic

    This is everything I had hoped it would be. The lavendar is the most stand out note for me. I absolutely love this. My only problem is that after an hour or two I dont find it very strong. The wear time is very short, and I dont find it to have a lot of throw. Would be great to layer with a similar smelling lotion or something to prolong the scent.

    Pomona

    Very fruity and juicy, but with some warmth and woodsy tones. Im not sure yet if I completely love this or not. I am not finding myself reaching towards it, so it might wind up in swaps.

    Sugar Skull

    I get the sugars, but I get a little bit of spiciness and syrup. I dont get any of the tartness of the fruits like I had hoped. I'm still waiting to see if I 100% love this or not.

    Lich's Laboratory Atmosphere Spray

    The moss is over powering and this comes across smelling like dirty feet and just plain dirt. Its not something I would want my home smelling like.

    Exotic Bazaar Atmosphere Spray

    OMG this is amazing! Its exactly how I would expect a bazzar in India or Morrocco to smell. Its all spice, sugars and exotic flowers. I need to get this in a big bottle. It takes you away on an exotic adventure/trip by just closing your eyes and inhaling its intoxicating aroma.

    Aquae Massage Oil

    I didnt connect to this one as much as I did to Terrae, but I find it a very calming scent. I get more of the chamomile note than any other, with a little of the lavendar. I was hoping for a stronger lavendar note. I need to use it a bit more to see whether Im in love or not. I use it before sleeping and the oil absorbs quickly into the skin, and the next day I find my skin feeling very soft and smooth.

    Terrae Massage Oil

    I totally relate to this scent, and just connect to it. As it should be I find it a very grounding scent. Earthy, incensy, mossy notes that are comforting. I use it before sleeping and the oil absorbs quickly into the skin, and the next day I find my skin feeling very soft and smooth. The patchouli and myrrh are the notes that stand out the most to me.

    Samhain Atmosphere Spray

    Wow, I really love this. I spray it over the bed every night before falling asleep. Its a warm, comforting scent. After a bit, or the next day on the sheets it is a really soft powdery scent that lingers behind.

    The Lady of Shalott

    Definitely aquatic!! Its like clear, fresh blue waters. I was expecting it to be more floral given the notes in it, but its not overly floral at all. Ill keep this and try it out because I dont have anything like this.

    Gomorrah

    At first it had a very licorice kind of smell, but on the dry down you could smell more of the berry and fig. Its not bad, but not something I would find myself wearing very often.

    Unspeakably Evil Temple Atmosphere Spray

    I get pure incense and resins, reminds me of those Sundays at mass at Catholic Cathedrals. I like to spray the room and over my mat before mediation and yoga.

    The Phantom Wooer

    Very soapy when first applied, on the dry down the moss grew into the florals and it came out more earthy, but still soft and powdery with the floral notes.

    Tintagel

    I dont know why but this is pure cinnamon smelling on me. Its very spicy and smells a lot like an Atomic Fireball.

    The Robotic Scarab

    I dont know how the lab does the metal notes, but I totally smell metal in this. Not a fan, its up for swaps.

    Czernobog

    At first I didnt like this, it was very strongly smelling of metal, mint and lemon. Then on the drydown It started to grow on me. I then read the description and was suprised to see mrryh, musks, and vetiver. All my faves. Over all after it dried down it was quite lovely, I really love the combo of these scents and have never worn them together before so its something that I dont have in my collection. Its a keeper and might need a full bottle

    Baobhan Sith

    Very clean smelling florals, the grapefruit was very pungent at first and died down nicely on the dry down. The ginger came out more on the dry down and then I started to not love it at first.

    Cthulhu

    This is very fresh smelling, but sadly it reminded me of the Arm and Hammer Pet Fresh Carpet Deodorizer. Which is good for the carpet but not to wear.

    Brisingamen

    At first this was very strong, but on the dry down the amber came out a bit more and was warm and pleasant. The floral notes add something very nice to the ambers.

    A Countenance Forboding Evil

    I definitely got the patchouli right away but the ylang ylang was very sweet and strong at first. On the dry down this got more earthy as the ylang ylang subsided and the vetiver came out a little more. Im kind of loving this one.

    Black Cat

    Wet this was pure licorice smelling to me. I'm glad others mentioned that because I thought maybe I was crazy. I definitely dont get the rose at all though. On the dry down and several hours later it's definitely herbaly smelling. I can kind of see the Turkish Delight reference as well, kind of sweet smelling. The rose is not very apparent at all, thank goodness because I dont usually love rose scents. This is kind of nice though. I didnt notice anything enegetically. I'll have to wear it again tomorrow on its own and see what I experience.

    Aeval

    At first on me this smelled like fabric softener, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets. Very clean, flowery, powedery all in one. On the dry down and after a few hours its pure sweet pea. I dont get the tonka at all, or even the sage. It's very floral smelling now.

    Dragon's Tears

    Wet - very clean aquatic smell Drydown - amazing! It's defintely an aquatic scent. It's like sitting on the beach being splashed with sea spray during a tropical rainstorm. It's fresh, crisp, aquatic and a little green. This is not usually a scent I would go for but Im absolutely loving this one and will probably order a big bottle someday soon.

    Crossroads

    Wet - very soapy smelling Drydown - definitely getting more of the dirt and mossy scent that other have mentioned. I'm kind of digging the mossy notes of it, and the florals start to rise a little, but mostly mossy smelling on me. It's different, something I might keep and dry again but probably won't be a fave.

    Gobo

    Exactly as I had hoped - creamsicles! I swear I even smell the wooden stick! In the vial, wet and dry this is a creamy, sweet, bright, orange/grapefruit/citrusy scent. I love it and have nothing like it so its definitely going to become one of my all time faves.

    Mokey

    In the vial and right on the skin this was super soapy smelling. On the dry down more of the violet and lilac came out. It's definitely a creamy, powdery floral. Im not completely in love but dont hate it yet. I'll have to wear it a full day to really give it another go and see. It's so different than what I normally wear that it might be a good thing.
