    Nocturne

    It`s violets sweetened by tuberose, the staying power is unbelievable on me, 10 hours until I took a bath, and yes, it reminds me of bathos. I loved Nocturne from the start to the end, it`s a calm and sweet floral that doesn`t become my grandma perfume as I feared. Elegant and dark as a magical night.

    Graveyard Dirt

    The soil after the rain covered by moss and mushrooms. It`s more real than reality.

    Gluttony

    Yes, you can scream toffee and caramel, but it`s not so so sickly sweet as I imagined. It`s totally wearable and lovely. I smell the coffee too, that gives an elegant shade to this little one. Slather it with no shame, please.

    Shub-Niggurath

    Spicy, warm, foody lemon ginger, just perfect. Even better than my loved Saw Scaled viper, I can`t wait to layer them and see this mega ginger boost! And the color of the oil is lovely, which is a plus.

    Diary of a Lovestruck Teenage Cannibal

    Delicious! The grapefruit is here, the ginger too, maybe a hint of lemon and some sugar, but... in the wet stage it was all popcorn and I was kind of scared! I love it in every caleidoscopic note it has.

    Lady Lilith

    This is wonderful and an unforgettable experience through mandarin, tea and vanilla! The florals really stay in the background and give depht to a gorgeous fruity tea blend. It`s golden and sunny like a girl full on energy!

    Gunpowder

    In the imp it`s all carrot and molasses. Wet the carrot and oat(meal) go out creating a unique fragrance, a breakfast hot oatmeal with carrots sticks for a chilly autumn morning. No apple for me. The throw is minimal, I slathered a lot and it didn`t become stronger. I can see a horse licking this bottle!!

    Tweedledum

    In the vial it`s dark and deep mango, wet the patchouli comes out, hello patchouli, to burn off quicky and disappear leaving the mango and the fig deliciously free. The green tea is in the background and I kept on smiling and sniffing my arm in the train, without shame. I love mango and figs and can`t be objective about Tweedledum, a fruity morning slatherer.

    Longing

    In the imp it`s herbal and it doesn`t seem right for me cause I have a strong rejection for any floral..I put it on my left knee ready to wash it in case of rosey appearance ( ) Instead to my delight I discover a perfectly blended bouquet of soft cinnamon, frankincense and musk that catch perfectly the concept of the longing for a beloved far away. I sniff my knee and feel nostalgic and mellowed out as never. Throw is average and it didn`t last long, but it was a wonderful afternoon experience of late summer. it`s highly suggested for floral haters that want some escape from the usual notes, and for romantic pals too!

    Tum

    Wet it`s herbs immerged in grapy wine with a hint of mint, on the drydown it`s more honey grape and it`s lovely, if someone has dirty socks like this, send them to me please Truly sunny and feminine.

    Chaos Theory IV: Edge of Chaos

    CMXXXVIII A light and sweet floral blend that tend to give a pink image. Quiet and calm like a spring breeze in the afternoon CMXIV Candy, yes, fruity candy, funny and sweet DCCCLXXIII Pink grapefruit meets a hint of juniper-verbena that fades quickly and live happily ever after as a fruity blend, a tad tart but delicious after all

    Chaos Theory IV: Edge of Chaos

    CMLXXX The tequila of doom married with some light floral. It`s like to immerge your arm in pure tequila and then smear it with a bouquet. It`s headache inducing and the boozy note is so strong that it doesn`t go away even washing it. A must for drinkers. I personally loathe boozy notes.

    Ogun

    In the vial it smells so much of honey that i thought immediately to a cousin of Mead Moon. Fresh on the skin it`s mainly herbal honey for a while, I don`t detect any tobacco and if I really concentrate I can feel a very faint juniper. After 20 minutes the delicious melon note goes out and stay with the honey. It`s a total ace for me but maybe it could be too cloying for honey haters. for the fans of mead Moon I see a perfect substitute in the years to come. Lovely

    Chaos Theory IV: Edge of Chaos

    CMIX The perfect popcorn scent I was searching for. My friend told me he can even sense the oily smell when they are popped out and are still piping hot with a touch of caramel coconut I only have one imp and I`m ready to search for weeks more of this Chaos!

    Red Lantern

    2008 version The rich coconutty caramel is sweet and strong on the wet phase, and on the drydown appear and disappear pulsating with the opium smoke and the tobacco. it`s bitter and sweet from time to time, that contributes without doubt to make it my fav blend and a extremely complex one. The throw and stay are very long, so I don`t have to slather a lot. I keep Red Lantern only for special occasions to keep its magic spell on me. The only problem is that all the other caramel blends look so poor to me!

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Can I humbly ask to see a TKO label? I searched for days and can`t find anywhere.

    Carnivàle

    Wet on the skin, for some seconds the dreaded cologne vibe appears, to go away soon and leave space to sweet berries and sharp carnations, slightely tinted by the musk. It`s delicious, dark and deep at the start and deep sweet in the drydown, it lives its name completely.

    Tanuki

    Living in Japan and loving all the flowers in the notes of tanuki I was eager to try this blend in spite of the fact i don`t get well with florals. The osmanthus note is real, believe me, I pass every october sniffing all the trees here and I catched it immediately inside this little one! The mandarin note adds freshness to the blend, and the bamboo note is more prominet in the imp than in my skin. Oh my, I feel all the seasons united together, I`m sure any Japanese girl would love this. For me it`s the essence of the 4 seasons concentrated, almost a miracle. Hello nice florals.
  20. The vanilla with teak and the tobacco is just simply and straight sexy. I can see it`s unisex but it`s gorgeous for a woman who need a little confidence for a night out. A perfect complement to a date in a smokey bar sipping whiskey! I gladly leave the whiskey to someone else and will use Antikythera with heavy make up instead . No for girly girls.

    Squirting Cucumber

    I knew I `d love this one and I do! It`s literally fresh and a bit sweet cucumber just cut and ready to be eaten on a sunday afternoon after swimming on the beach. it reminds me so strongly on my summer memories I can`t help slathering and feel refreshed and lighthearted. It`s slighly spicy too, like a touch of black pepper to your salad, delicious!

    Wulric, the Wolfman (2006)

    I never enjoy florals notes in the blends, but the lavender one is a rare exception, and what a lovely exception it is! Wulric is the CD I slather more often, before sleeping, before cleaning the house, before taking decisions, before any excuse! The herbal wet stage is stingy but truly enjoyable, and the cocoa-vanilla drydown that follow a true heaven Wulric unites like a miracle the green blends with the foody ones, standing as unique of this genre. Relaxing entertainment I would say!! 2 back up bottles please

    El Dia de los Reyes

    I have to beat myself not to slather me all over with El Dia every single day. It`s heaven in a bottle made of dark cocoa, deepened with delicious coffee and cinnamon. The best part is when the brown sugar amps in the drydown and it becomes the darker (thinking of cocoa color, lol) brother of Sugar Skull Wearlenght is unbelievebly long and throw is quite good too: I work with a glowing smile all day! Conforting foody choco espresso love.

    Phobos

    I love all the notes here so it`s no surprise I `m deeply enjoying this crisp, sour blend, perfect for summer. The lemongrass is amped like crazy and it`s refreshing like a popsicle smashed in your face at 12 in the afternoon on the beach! If you love You`ve been mangoed bath melt this is for you.

    Treat #2

    A figgy cardamon with some chocolate, very faint and sooo good. I detect pomegranate too even if it`s not on the list. For sure there is coconut, one of my fav notes, but I don`t know where is it . Such an euforic treat are you, little #2, I like you!
