Eden is a mix between foody and floral. It starts of sweet but morphs to remind me of tropical flowers. I'm not into floral perfumes but if you are, you might want to try it.

In the imp it smells buttery and dessert-like. First applied, it is a clean scent similar to dryer sheets with some kick because something reminds me of cinnamon and musk. I'm curious how it would smell aged past five years and I bet it is sexy with the right skin chemistry. I really enjoy this one inside the imp but it loses it's foody quality on my skin so I wouldn't buy a bottle.

Velvet starts off chocolately and after about five minutes a vanilla woodsy scent comes out to play. I really like this one but I don't think I would ever pull it out to wear or buy a bottle. It's kind of is sweet and delicate but also has a powerful edge that makes me feel like it would be a great out-on-the-town evening perfume for the right person.

The Dormouse reminds me of dryer sheets. If you like clean linen type of scents this might be for you. It's a little sharp and too floral for me.

Xiuhtecuhtli smells like a nice floral/clean scent with musk in the background. It isn't something I would wear but I could really see it smelling great on the right person. It feels kind of beachy.

Dirty smells like a strong detergent, kind of what most people want their clothes to smell like after being washed and dried. I do like some clean scents but this one is a little too floral to me.

After the initial sharp perfume scent of Antony fades away, it definitely smells like a nice masculine scent. It smells kind of woodsy and clean (like detergent). I wouldn't wear this but I'm interested in how it could smell on a man.

On my skin The Witch's Garden smells like a smashed first aid kit: it's all alcohol pads, betadine, ointments, gauze, etc. I only left on it for about fifteen minutes before I washed it off, so I can't give a full review on the dry down. Swap pile.

Amsterdam definitely has a bold tulip scent. If you love flower scents this would be worth checking out. If you don't like powerful flowery perfumes, you might want to pass on this one. It is too strong for me to ever consider wearing it.

Juke Joint smells like some cute old lady kept her baby powder jar next to her perfume bottle for many many years. Now the baby powder will forever possess some of the perfume scent. It's not bad, just not something I would wear.

When initially applied, Lysander smells like musk and berries from a distance, but up close sniffing of my wrists reminds me of a hamster cage. It definitely is a scent that morphs. On dry down it smells sweet and floral with some wood shavings in the background. Not bad. Overall, this scent has no throw and not what I would wear. Off to the swap/sell pile

Jolly Roger is a punch in the face of pine needles at first. Then cinnamon comes out and it smells like pine trees and cinnamon. Reminds me of December. Hours later that fades to the background and it smells like a nice light musky scent that's unisex. I'm not a fan of pine though, so this one wasn't for me.

Left His Nurse While in a Crowd starts off smelling like chocolate and sweets. Immediately it reminds me of a mix between Bread and Butterfly and Sprinkle Cake. It gets a little weird during dry down and it morphs to something else. I’ve tried this three separate days hoping it would grow on me. Off to the swap/sell pile.

Spare Change is a sharp perfume that morphs a lot. When wet, it reminded me of liquid body wash. When it dried it smelled back and forth from women's perfume to men's cologne and back. It's really too sharp to be anything I would wear. Definitely off to the swap/sell pile.

First applied, No. 93 Engine smells like a dark mildewy basement. On dry down it smells like a freshly emptied bottle of vanilla Coke. It isn't bad when it dries but not something I would wear.

Kabuki is a deep cherry scent with something kinda sickly-sweet in the background. On dry down the cherry scent seems to fade and the musk/star anise step forward. It isn't a bad scent, just not right for me. I could see this smelling amazing on someone else.

The Great Sword of War started out sweet - chocolate and oranges, I liked it. Then the dry down happened and other scents came out. Now it has a slight hint of incense and floral. Overall, it's decent but not a keeper for me. I could imagine this smelling great on the right person though.

At first Were Puppy is nothing but red-hots cinnamon candy on my skin. After half an hour that fades to the background and mint pops up. There is another scent that is very familiar to my childhood - but I can't place my finger on it yet. It's a cute scent but not something I would typically wear. I'm going to let a guy friend try it and see what he thinks (he's obsessed with dogs and werewolves, heh).

I just got ahold of a bottle of 2009 Trick or Treat. Sadly, I don't get any candy corn on application or dry down. To me, it smells like toasted bread with a lot of melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. It reminds me of Sugar Skull from 2008 but with red hots or cinnamon. I really hoped for sugary candy corn - but I'll try it a few more times before making a verdict.

At first Halfling smells like fresh cut fruit (nectarine, apricot, plum - somewhere in that field). An hour later, that fruit now has a piece of cinnamon raisin toast next to it. There is something in the background I can't figure out - though I can see how people think of oatmeal or porridge with this. It's a fun scent, reminds me of Eat Me and Bread-and-Butterfly. I'm not sure if it's a keeper though.

Freshly put on my skin Thieves Rosin smells like cinnamon, rose, and pine. On dry down it turned to burnt plastic with hints of cinnamon. This one is not a keeper for me.

Neutral has a sharpness on my skin that smells like a typical department store perfume. I can't remember exactly which scent this reminds me of, but it's possibly ck One. After dry down it gets less sharp but is still overpowering my nose. Verdict is this one goes into the trade/sell pile.

Initially the Temptaion smells kind of fruity on my skin but changes to floral pretty quick. I'm not a big fan of florals but this is a sweet floral and I actually don't mind it (not overbearing). However, it fades away so quick. I have applied it twice today and right now I can barely smell it. I wouldn't buy a bottle - but I am considering keeping the imp.

Dragon's Milk morphs a LOT on my skin. By the time it settles down and stays one scent - it reminds me of root beer flavored hard candies that I like, with a hint of milkiness. I'm not sure if I would buy a bottle, but I am curious how it ages and smells. I will keep the imp around to try in the future.

Eden is a pretty scent. I have worn it for three days now but I still can't decide if I would buy a bottle of it. It is really light and has almost no throw and I can't smell it unless I'm actually sniffing my skin. Overall I like it, but I'm not sure if it's a keeper. I might let this one age and try it in the future.
