  1. I think it's so funny that every review is different, although there are some common themes. For me I didn't like the scent of it in the imp AT ALL, but on my skin this is soo good. I get chocolate, with a smokey honey scent, and a light floral underneath. Gorgeous, and definitely GRRR...girl power at it's finest! Love it!


  2. Wow, Just Wow! Initial wet this is very tropical, big lush flowers dripping with rain. As it dries, I get a citrus note with it, and on further dry down this gets sweet and creamy, very reminiscent of Angel (which I love - my pre-bpal days perfume). This is just purely gorgeous! I do get a mexican or aztec feel to it as well...for those of you who have been there this reminds me of my visit to Xcaret. Love this completely! :P


  3. Intially from the imp the only scent I pick up is the cypress which is yuck for me, but on this is really really nice. It's blended so well that I can't really pick out any individual notes but luckily cypress has died down :P I can pick up some fig, rose and ginger. This is really pretty.


  4. Fresh, clean, crisp. This is really nice for summer. Initial drydown is the bitter citrus similar but not quite grapefruit, but as it dries down I get a hint of the cherry blossoms and tea and it sweetens. This is really nice.


  5. This was a gift the lovely lab included in my last order. I never thought I would like something with black pepper in it because I can't stand it normally, in my food or even the smell of it. But in this blend, wow I'm in love. Dragon's blood gives it the sweetness, and the cinnamon and black pepper give it some oomph..there's the fire. I can't stop sniffing my arm. Love it, Love it! :P


  6. I know I'm very late getting on the bandwagon for Dorian, but better late than never right? In the first I'd say maybe 10 seconds, I get the scent of lavender, but it quickly fades to a vanilla, honey sweet tea scent with a slight slight lemon tinge. This is gorgeous!!! I want to cover myself in it. Big bottle purchase right away! :P


  7. When I first read the description with the update, I thought for sure it was a scent I would love, and I got a 5 ml unsniffed. I was looking forward to this one for quite a long time.

    This is really lovely, although for me I would prefer a bit more of the sweet notes than the green notes. I have the green leafy stage for the first 2 to 3 hours, and then the sweet fig, honey and coconut start to appear. This is quite long lasting too, which is nice.

    I have to say though with that particular order (including 13, elegba, ace of hearts, honey moon, strawberry moon) I was thinking Eden would be my fav. It is really nice but love others more than this. Will definitely use this though and enjoy it.


  8. In the imp and initial wet this is straight lavender with a bit of a kick to it. As it dries down, the lotus sweetens and softens this up to the point that it doesn't even smell like lavender anymore. This is a really nice blend. Not sure how often I would wear this but it's pretty


  9. I absolutely love honey, but my skin likes to amp up the "green" scents. This one is completely laurel and bay for me, and my honey has gone into hiding. As it dries down, the honey pops up slightly which is really nice but still a very biting green scent overall. I'm sorry, not a "green" girl


  10. This is an amazing blend. For some reason I didn't think I would like this one, but Beth and the lab knew better and generously included it in my last order. I can't really pick out any of the notes beyond pear. It dries down green, fresh, with the slightest creamy scent. I visited the ruins in Mexico earlier this year and this scent just brings back the feeling of awe standing there. Just beautiful!


  11. No words to describe this but Wow and Love it, can't be without it! Sweet, spicy, exotic, intoxicating, transports me to another country. I just love this. Perfect for fall and winter. I agree that it's similar to snake oil without as much vanilla. In the same sort of family as scherezade also, because of the middle eastern feel. :P


  12. Pear comes through as the predominant note. I can't smell much else from the imp or initial wet stage. When first applied the pear is very very strong. The initial scent is sweet, crisp and clean. It slowly softens and the Lily of the Valley and musk come through. Its nice but not entirely me. It will find a good home.


  13. In the imp this smells like fig and chocolate. Initial wet is lemon, or citrusy. On dry down, this sweetens again to fig and chocolate, musk and light rum. Initially I find this quite masculine smelling, but it dries down beautifully to something I would consider a unisex scent. This has great staying power too! I really like it.


  14. I'm so sad by this scent because I love it. I think it's gorgeously sexy, but something in it causes huge red welts no matter where I put it. It smells like cherries initially while wet but dries down to a creamy musky slightly cherry scent. Just gorgeous..unfortunately the welts aren't too gorgeous so I'll pass it on to someone who can handle it! :P


  15. I didn't really like the smell of this in the imp, but once on, it's much nicer. It starts off with iris as the main note but as it dries down, the amber and spices kick in. I don't really get much of a berry scent, and I'm not getting the pine scent others mentioned (which is a good thing!) This seems very light and while it does last quite a long time, there isn't much throw and I have to sniff my skin directly to pick up the scent.
