    Lick It Now

    In the bottle - Very exactly a peppermint candy cane Wet on me - More like mint imperials now with the grainy powdery texture of the sugar and that sharp clear mint Dry on me - Ashes, stale ashes Overall - Sadly this just turns on my skin

    Krampuslaufen

    In the bottle - Rusty metal with a waft of mint Wet on me - Mostly mint with just a hint of something dark beneath it Dry on me - Something sweet and deep, I imagine the malted chocolate with a mentholly mint Overall - I quite like the dry down, but I could do with a little less mint

    Knight in Shiny Armor

    In the bottle - A white peppery lavender Wet on me - A smooth fougere with just a hint of clary safe Dry on me - A cool clean skin musk Overall - It was a little bland on my skin

    In the bottle - A green cool floral scent Wet on me - Washing powder Dry on me - Just washing powder Overall - Didn't work on my skin

    Helpful Crone

    In the bottle - I can't quite pick it out, but it's really like a perfume my mum wore when I was little Wet on me - It's quite faint, but mostly what I get is what I think must be the tobacco, but it is very round and berryish Dry on me - It disappears completely Overall - It's a pity this didn't last on my skin because I think that it would have been quite pretty

    Hell's Belle

    In the bottle - Green sap and an almost bubblegum sweetness that I guess comes from the magnolia Wet on me - A green waxy/peppery berry scent with an almost liquoricy undertone Dry on me - A soft clean slightly sweet floral Overall - I like this quite a lot, the only thing that puts me off is the waxiness early on

    Go to Sleep, Darlings

    In the bottle - A peary minty candyfloss Wet on me - A cool leafy green mint scent Dry on me - Ashes, dry smoky ashes Overall - Just didn't play with my skin chemistry

    Gingerbread Zombi

    In the bottle - Gingerbread and moss on a crumbling gravestone Wet on me - A dry leafy mulch overlain by the spice of the gingerbread Dry on me - Soft mulchy loam and a hint of dirt Overall - A mote genteel sort of Zombie, but the gingerbread runs away

    Gingerbread Villain

    In the bottle - A warm, lightly spiced gingerbread Wet on me - A raw, red ginger scent with a hint of butter in the background Dry on me - A faint fougere/musk skin note Overall - I was really interested to see how the gingerbread and Villain would play together; but they don't, I get gingerbread first and then almost like a separate scent the Villain comes through

    Gingerbread Troll

    In the bottle - Burnt gingerbread; really there's an acrid smoke note that is really quite unpleasant Wet on me - A clean, slightly green musk beneath the gingerbread Dry on me - A soft sweet gingerbread with a green earthy backdrop Overall - Considering how many death notes there are in Troll this is surprisingly nice

    Gingerbread Snake

    In the bottle - Less gingerbready than I was expecting with hints of a clean musk, not very Snake Oily either Wet on me - A dark gingerbread with a raw spice note and a hint of vanilla in the background Dry on me - A dark rich sticky gingerbread Overall - I would have likes more of the Snake Oil to come through, but as I'm a bit meh on fresh Snake Oil anyway I think this may be one to age

    Gingerbread Satyr

    In the bottle - Good thick gingerbread with a hint of something dark in the background Wet on me - The gingerbread seems to get warmer and spicier Dry on me - This is mostly gingerbread, there is a green bitterness beneath but always masked by gingerbread Overall - I like this a lot, which considering Satyr was fairly evil on my skin is impressive
  13. Ajila

    Eldritch Dark

    In the bottle - A dry new leather with a hint of sweetness Wet on me - Smooth warm leather with a rich almost incensy rose behind it Dry on me - Mostly leather with hints of sweetness Overall - I like it, but not as much as I thought I would, which means that my decant will be enough
  14. Ajila

    Braving the Ice

    In the bottle - Cookies and fruity yoghurt with a waft of spiky mint in the background Wet on me - Cookies overlain within a sour note that I presume if is the cream but it's not working for me at the moment Dry on me - A kind of sour milky ashy concoction Overall - This just doesn't work on my skin
  15. Ajila

    Bram Stoker

    In the bottle - A green smoky vetiver with a hint of aftershave Wet on me - A soapy brusque aftershave type scent Dry on me - Carbolic soap and Old Spice, warm dry masculinity Overall - Bram Stoker smells like my dad Or at least my childhood memories of him. Which I like, but wouldn't necessarily want to wear

    Blue Snowballs

    In the bottle - Tart blueberries with a zing of lime Wet on me - Definitely very sweet blue berries, but there's a dryness behind it that I associate with Beth's gin note Dry on me - As with Black Snowballs this just completely disappeared Overall - Vanished on my skin
  17. Ajila

    Black Snowballs

    In the bottle - Sweet blackcurrant with an undertone of liquorice. Like those boiled sweets that are blackcurrant flavour and have a liquorice flavoured toffee centre Wet on me - A dry almost musky liquorice with hints of tart blackcurrant Dry on me - A light cool musk Overall - Pretty, but it disappeared very quickly
  18. Ajila

    Almond Blossom

    In the bottle - Almonds and a touch of dry fizziness, I know this will sound odd but it's almost like Gin & Tonic Wet on me - Minty with a toffee like undercurrent and a touch of soap Dry on me - A soft cool mans cologne type scent Overall - It's cool dry and masculine I would have loved more of the almonds

    Thirteen (13): December 2013

    In the bottle - A surprisingly cool green scent with a hint of cereal and an after thought of coconut Wet on me - A somewhat watery almond cookie scent Dry on me - A warm baked coconut scent Overall - I really do like the dry down, the wet stages less so
  20. Ajila

    Capax Infiniti

    In the bottle - A clean, medicinal honey/wax scent Wet on me - A soft, cool lavender with hints of sweetness beneath Dry on me - A light, clean lavender scent Overall - It didn't really grab me
  21. Ajila

    Gold Phoenix

    In the bottle - It smells like a hair dressers; soap, hairspray and a hint of electronic heat Wet on me - Quite like Perversion as a sweet fruity tobacco with and undertone of leather Dry on me - A warm reddish amber with a pencil shavings undercurrent Overall - My favourite was the wet stages, but the dry down didn't grab me
  22. Ajila

    Und wir Dachten der Toten

    In the bottle - A sweet musky creamy scent with a sort if green/raw nut note that I presume is the raw coffee bean Wet on me - Again a creamy/milky musk with just a hint of spice Dry on me - A warm hazy musks with hints of spice and an underlying green patchouli Overall - Really, really lovely
  23. Ajila

    Sampaguita

    In the bottle - Properly screechy indoly jasmine Wet on me - A slightly green, slightly powdery jasmine Dry on me - A soft slightly powdered jasmine Overall - Jasmine and me just don't get along

    Tacitus' Phoenix

    In the bottle - Medicinal woods with a touch of citrus Wet on me - Something clean and airy with a woody background Dry on me - Smoky woods with a slightly vanilla undertone Overall - Different, but not really me
  25. Ajila

    Pliny's Phoenix

    In the bottle - Proper deep incensy churchy frankincense Wet on me - Again very churchy although veering slightly into furniture polish Dry on me - It disappeared surprisingly quickly on my skin Overall - It never really developed beyond the wet stages
