    Czernobog

    Meh - I knew I wouldn't like this one - it was a murky colour in the imp and I just knew I wouldn't like it. It was too "green" I think its the vertiver (although I'm not sure as I've never smelled pure vertiver but the word reminds me of green so it must be that!). This will be on my swapsies.

    Cordelia

    This is a really nice light soft florally fresh blend! It is more of a spring/summer scent and it does remind me a little of Shanghai but its not as zingy as shanghai is. I think I would like a 5 ml of this but I have banned myself from buying anymore regular catalogue scents as I have too many! (But it's on my list of ones to get a bottle of!!)

    Black Opal

    This is a really really gorgeous scent - I knew I would like it from the description (I don't know why it just called to me!) so I was really happy to get a frimp. It is a really musky/creamy and soft vanilla scent, it is a dark scent but it flashes bits of light through it. I want no need a bottle of this

    Bewitched

    Bewitched - This is really nice actually, I didn't think I would like this one but it is quite fruity and fresh but its a creamy mild one instead of a having a sharp tang. This really reminds me of Hot Couture by Givenchy - This might have to be "yet" another 5ml!!

    Black Forest

    I thought that the initial smell was meh - its too green and foresty. It is a very dark scent and there is an undercurrent of something mentholly with it too. Hmm. No after about 5 hours it didn't really change - i was hoping the "mentholly" smell would come out more but it didn't - It is way too green for me!

    Blood Countess

    This was quite a bittersweet scent on me, it wasn't horrible but it wasn't outstanding (on my skin anyway). I think I might make this one into a body lotion though as it is too nice to swap!

    Blood Amber

    I was really excited about blood amber - I love dragons blood and I love amber - It shouldn't go wrong and I can't really say what did go wrong with it, it just didn't suit me at all. I might have to try it again just to make sure.

    Brimstone

    Wow this is a strong scent. It reminds me of Lush's middle earth turns to rock/waylander soap, its that muddy, smoky, soily scent. When I put it on in the office someone said 'ooh I can smell smoke'! Its very strong, but not very me! I just with my fave blends would be this strong!

    Bayou

    I knew I wouldn't like this one but I thought I'd give it a go before writing it off completely! I was pleasantly suprised - it is one of the nicer aquatics but I think that is because to me its half aquatic and half floral. Now that I've had it on for 10+ hours it is a nice but faint floral on me. I guess its going to go on the swap list though as it didn't grab me!!

    Bathsheba

    I wasn't keen on this when I first applied it - I think it was the plum that I didn't like as I know I like musks and Carnation. As it dried down it went better but it was a take it or leave it scent with me.

    Baron Samedi

    Meh - This smelled ok in the bottle, it was a sweet boozy smell - I thought it might go better on my skin but unfortunately it turned into a washing up liquid scent almost immediately. Oh well can't win them all!!

    Anubis

    This was a frimp from the lab (thanks!). I hadn't read any of the descriptions before I tried it but I was dying to try it from the first sniff as it smelled yum. Anubis on me is a sweet and golden scent, it is slightly musky but there is this (smoky?) sweetness that radiates from where I have applied it. I think that this might be another 5ml I need. Buy it its gorgeous! ...I almost want the lab to stop sending me frimps (not really) as all the ones they send are the ones I end up buying bottles of and I have too many bottles to get through and this never ending pile of imps!!

    Samhain

    2005 I haven't smelled any of the previous years Samhain so I wasn't really sure what to expect with this one - I was pleasantly suprised as I had it in my head that it was going to smell like Jack (Don't know why!). This smells quite woodsy and spicy on me - I think someone else said its like a wet woods and I agree with that (I am also getting a very slight mentholly undertone to it - that might just be me mixing up the names for ingredients though!) but there is this wonderful warm sweet spicy smell that is just amazing. I think I am going to order another bottle of this as I can see me wearing it to death when the weather starts to turn miserable.

    Devil's Night

    I didn't really know what to expect with this one. I expected it to be a lot heavier than it is on me, it smells like an autumn. I don't know why or how it just does, it is sweet and boozy and slightly smokey but at the same time its a fresh and clear scent - yes I know that sounds weird but its what it is like to me. I really like it - (Might have to sneak another order of this one in!!)

    Antony

    I like this one - It is a manly scent but I think it is quite girly too (its got a green herby smell that is really nice as I'm not usually a fan of green smelling scents). Mmm Very nice!

    Anathema

    Gorgeous, this is such an amazing scent - I don't go and search out floral blends as I seem to convince myself I don't like them but this is just fab. Beth I love you for this one!! Its going on my 5ml wishlist!! In the imp bottle I didn't like the smell much but as soon as it was on my skin it is just amazing - its a calming silky scent that is really smooth. Its floral but there is a sweetness to it that is just divine. I love it. I want it!

    Queen of Sheba

    I don't usually like the honey scents but this one is amazing, Its very spicy and incensy on me at first but then it mellows out to this amazing sweet (but not a foody sweet) smell that is just yum. I've been catching whiffs of myself all day and thinking "mmm that smells good, wonder what it is?" then remembering that it is this perfume. I think this might be a possible 5ml (Grr I thought I had all the 5mls I wanted!!)

    Viola

    Gentle tea rose, lilac, Calla Lily, and Somalian Rose layered over golden Peruvian amber, Spanish moss, red sandalwood, rosewood, and myrrh, with the lightest touch of Mandarin. I really wanted to like this one, but alas it just didn't go on my skin very well. It smelt yummy in the bottle though so I might keep this one to use as a room scent or a car scent rather than swapping it.

    Nephilim

    I don't know how to describe this one, I'm really stumped for words. Its quite heavy on me and it smells like its a deep foresty green scent, it is quite fresh at the same time as being heavy but it isn't an aqua or airy fresh. Weird.

    Succubus

    I don't like this when It is in the bottle - there is a sharp green scent that I just don't like. On application, I can still smell that "green" smell and it just puts me off it, the scents that are underneath seem to be quite nice but they are just competing to be smelt underneath the green!

    Arachne

    This is a soft and smooth melancholy scent - it was quite sweet and herby at the same time if that is possible! I did like this one but not enough to buy a 5ml - I think its one that I will keep in my purse until the imp has gone though. Or maybe I'll make it into a body lotion??!!!!

    Envy

    This one was nicer than I thought it was going to be albeit it lasted about 2 minutes on me before fading into oblivion! Minty scents usually just don't work on me but this one was quite refreshing and nice. Another for the swapsie pile!

    Dove's Heart

    I really liked this one - I wasn't sure at first as the lavender was a bit too strong on me. Once it had calmed down though - it calmed me down - I felt so relaxed and confident today, I had a really clear head. I think I will definately use this one when I am feeling down. I could smell it all day too which was a bonus!! Might have to keep my imp of this at work and order another one for home so I've got it for emergencies!!!!

    Block Buster

    I get cinnamon apple with this scent - I think I'm liking it a lot! It didn't do much for my concentration though as my head was all over the place this afternoon but that is probably just because it is me!! Nice

    Black Cat

    I've smelt this before - it is really familiar to me but I really don't know why!! I get the rose smell and I get a minty but not cool smell with it as well. Its really nice but I didn't excpect to like it...As it is I'm convincing myself that I don't need a 5ml of this as I can't stop smelling my wrist. Divine!
