    Punkie Night

    Mmm! Juicy ripe apples and cider, sweet and delicious. There is a boozy sweetness to it that blends well with the apple. My skin loves it, it eats it up with a quickness. This yummy scent doesn't last but a few minutes on me.

    High John the Conqueror

    I am surprised to read that this blend disagrees with so many. To me it smells clean and fresh, like soap. It's a very thick soap though, and is a little bit sticky feeling on the skin. It does have a bit of a grape smell to me, but it is very faint. Overall I like this one very much!

    Veil

    A soft, light lavender that mingles with the violets. Powdery sweet, the perfect scent for when you want to play innocent. The sandalwood is mild, and I mainly sense lavender from it on my skin. I am a complete lavender girl so this made me very happy! I think it's beautiful, and I am glad I have a bottle.

    Dorian

    Beautiful!! I am glad I have a bottle of this one because it is perfect for slathering. It smells like my Grandfather's sweet tea, with a splash of vanilla. It's light, but has a distinct presence which oozes elegance. It only lasts for a short while on my skin, but the reapplications are completely worth it. I have been complimented on this scent by three different people, and it has become one of my favorites.

    Bengal

    Mmm! Warm and spicy, I get more clove than cinnamon, but the tiniest touch of honey mellows it out nicely. It would be the perfect winter scent. A lot of cinnamon blends actually burn or redden my skin, and this one didn't. I would love more of this one!

    Highwayman

    I had high hopes for this one, the description was so romantic! It is a very alcoholic scent, I got none of the rose or cinnamon. The leather whips me, and then fades as quickly as it came. It reminds me of something my Grandfather wore, something a little Old Spice about it. I wanted to love it, but I don't. I will save it to try again later.

    Bess

    Elegance in a bottle. The perfect blend of sharp herbals, softened by grape and light rose. Rose is usually awful on me, but I think the rosemary and mint have it tamed well enough. The prominent note to me is the grape. Love this one, I could wear it every day.

    Anne Bonny

    Mmm! This is like dirt and red velvet that has been splashed with sea water and rum, and rubbed with incense. I love it. It's very womanly, yet full of smoke and bravado. Wearing this makes me feel strong, and independent and a little like a saucy pirate wench. I love it!

    Fire of Love

    This one was pure spice on me. A powdery sort of spice, and oddly a little sweaty sort of spice. Ginger and champagne-like notes tickle my nose and keep me sniffing at it. Overall I liked it, but the manperson didn't, so I doubt I will fare well on a love test with it.

    Block Buster

    In the imp, it smells like stale beer mixed with honey. On my skin it is interesting, a morphing of honey and something fruity. After a few minutes the apple comes out to play! This apple-honey-butter yummy is an intstant favorite. I am not sure if I've been more creative while wearing it, I will have to put that to the test and report back.

    Titania

    Fairy fruits and delicate flowers, this blend is soft and feminine with a gentle throw. The stand out fruit is peach, and the stand out floral is the sweet pea. I wouldn't have thought this one would be one for me, but the rose stays in place and the rest combines in to a beautiful orchard garden party.

    Saw-Scaled Viper

    Spicy hot cinnamon! It tingles and reddens my skin, but the scent is totally worth it. It's a woodsy cinnamon on, I'm not sure if that is the cassia...after it drys down a bit I get more of the snake oil scent. It turns to a slightly vanilla soft cinnamon. Beautiful! ADDED July 13: One of my favorites, but I just cannot wear it. It burns oh it burns! My skin is quite sensitive, so I get large red welts when I wear it. I adore the cinnamon and the ginger in the bottle, and I wish I could wear it. I tried it in a scent locket, but the effect just wasn't the same. Farewell beloved viper, farewell.

    Nero

    This one was an eye opener! The pine and rosemary are sharp and piercing, and dull out the lemon considerably. A very masculine scent, but clean and sharp. I like it, and will likely wear it when I'm feeling Nero-esque.

    Baneberry

    I love this one, and must have a big bottle. It is berry- but not obvious berry. Dark and green, sweet with a hint of darkness to it. It's almost sour berry. It is soft yet strong. A berry enigma!

    Grandmother of Ghosts

    A woodsy, faint floral. There is something dry, earthy and dusty in this one, very much like I imagine a ghostly grandmother to smell like. I love this one, the blend is quite beautiful.

    #20 Love Oil

    In the imp it smelled a little like herbal roses. On my skin it was eww eww eww cloying rose yuck get off me now! As it dried I actually started to like it. I am not a rose person, but it became so subtle that I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist. It smelled a little like those decorative rose soaps without smelling soapy. This one isn't for my chemistry, but I might try it in a scent locket.

    Love-Lies-Bleeding

    In the imp, it smells like a yummy slightly green, slightly floral chocolate. On, it becomes more soft velvet floral, with only a hint of that cocoa and earth smell. I love it and cannot stop sniffing at my wrist and hands.
  18. Calliope gets the most comments. My co-workers always think I am squishing lemons at my desk.

    Garden Path With Chickens

    Oh you adorable chicken! Your fresh grassy greens, and your lux gardenia and herbs send me into a happy spring dance. This is rich yet light enough for a sunny day. After wearing for awhile, the soft gardenia remains to linger on the skin.

    Calliope

    Lovely lemons and thyme are the prominent features of this blend on my skin. It smells fresh and clean. It also is good to give you a little wake up boost during the day. I am so glad I got a bottle of this!

    Siren

    Siren is a rich heavy scent, and while I did not like it on my skin I love smelling it. On the days I'm feeling naughty I wear it in my scent locket. The notes I most perceive are jasmine, vanilla and something akin to patchouli and it brings to mind images of a high priced bordello. The scent lasts forever on my skin and in my locket and while heavy, it doesn't seem to go much further than my skin. It is one of the few my boyfriend cannot detect unless he is right at the spot of application. Overall it is a beautiful fragrance.
