Bottle (Imp): This smells herby, and a little sharp, almost like it's peppery? But it doesn't seem like it's actually pepper. Just On: It's very herby, and still a little sharp. It makes me wrinkle my nose, not necessarily in a bad way, but not all that great either. An hour or two later: It's staying pretty true to the imp scent, which is herby and slightly sharp. It's very blended, so it isn't like I can smell notes in it, and it's a little bit less sharp than it was to start. Around 6 hours: The sharpness has faded more, leaving a well blended herb mixture. I like it well enough, but it's not something I'm dying to wear a lot. I'm very happy to have tried it though. 12 hours: I get the barest hint of herbyness when I try, but otherwise this one has gone away. Overall: I like it okay, but don't LOVE it. I probably wouldn't reach for this very often, so it's a swapper. After reading other reviews: I didn't get icy, I didn't get floral, I didn't really get murky or gloomy, I didn't get aquatics really, although the herbiness might have been just that.

Bottle (Imp): This smells rather sweet and a bit breezy, but just a hint. Just On: It smells much breezier, and still a bit sweet. An hour or two later: I smell flowers. Maybe a hint of sweetness. Around 6 hours: Now I can smell sweet flowers. I like the way this is fading, and if it would come with this first, it might jump very high on my list. There's something herbally smelling in there too. 12 hours: I can't smell this at all anymore. Overall: I actually rather like this, and between this one and Dragon's Tears, I will be trying more of the Ars Draconis scents. After reading other reviews: I really didn't get the vanilla part that so many others did, which is a bit disappointing. I sitill like it, so it's one I'd order.

Bottle (Imp): This seems thicker than most of theo thers I've tried in the imp. It smells pretty sweet as well. I can't really pick out anything specific, but sweetness is usually good for me. Just On: Sweet and vanilla are about all I'm getting right away. There's something else there, but it's hiding behind the sweet vanilla. An hour or two later: Mmmm, this has some spice in it. It's spicy and sweet. Around 6 hours: Hmm, there seems to be the slightest bit of plastic smell going on here. Could be a bad time of month or something. 12 hours: I'm left with a hint of vanilla on my skin, which I like. If it stayed this way all the way through, I'd love it so much. Overall: I think I can keep this, and not worry about the short time I get the plastic smell. I like it, it's sweet, and it's foody but not obnoxiously so. I can understand why this is such a favorite. I'd like to order two bottles, and age one to see if it's a drastic difference or not. After reading other reviews: This is certainly a talked about scent, and I can see why. I get the vanilla, and spices, and such, although I didn't get sex the way someone mentioned. This stays pretty well on me, and I'll likely buy some more at a later date.

Bottle (Imp): Citrus, not really a sweet one, and herbs. Just On: The same thing with some sweetness added. An hour or two later: I get a little sweetness, and some citrus. Around 6 hours: There is the barest hint of citrus left on my skin, but only if I put my nose right up to my skin. 12 hours: This went totally away by now. Overall: I like it well enough, but can't figure out what's in it. It smells just a bit like rock candy, but not so sweet, and a bit like something herby, but can't figure out what kind. After reading other reviews: I got NO flowers out of this one. Too weird, as flowers generally amp up on me, and make me feel ill. I'll give this a try on Monday for luck and see if I get any results.

Bottle (Imp): This smells fresh, maybe citrusy, and bubbly. Just On: As soon as I get it on, it starts to change just a bit. It's still fresh, and bubbly, but now it's much sweeter. I can't identify any specific notes, but it's very nice. An hour or two later: Yummy, sweet berries and citrus scents bubbling together. It smells rather like some of the homemade potpourri I used to make with all sorts of leftovers fruits in the house. It makes me smile when I sniff it. Around 6 hours: Very much sweet berries and some citrus mixed in. Maybe a grape-y smell as well? A lovely scent, and I can see why it's called Joy Mojo, as it does make me feel more joyful. This is gonna hit the big bottle list. 12 hours: I still have berries, a hint of citrus, and grapes on me, and I love it. This is lasting well beyond what I thought it would, being so light. Overall: This has popped right up into my top ten. It's very sweet, and extremely lovely on me. I may hav swapped the imp, but I"ll be buying a bottle as soon as I get past my CN excitement. After reading other reviews: Yep, it's similar on me to other folks... sweet and very happiness-inspiring. Whoever said you can't be depressed wearing this is right, as fas as I'm concerned. With the neighbor issues I have, I'm going to have to pick up more of this ASAP.

Bottle (Imp): I'm getting citrus out of the imp. Maybe with some crushed fresh herbs? Just On: Citrus, but mild, and something I can't identify. There's the barest hint of sweetness underneath it all. An hour or two later: There's a bit of spice in this, and I'm liking it. Spicy herbs. That's what I keep thinking. Around 6 hours: It's herby, and a little bit 'off', but not horrible. It's faded a lot, so it's harder to detect now. 12 hours: This left the barest hint of herbs at this stage. I like it well enough. Overall: This was surprisingly light and fresh, I was sort of expecting more spice than I got. After reading other reviews: The citrus must be orange, from what I read. The spice is likely cinnamon. I don't get dragon's blood from it, although that could be part of the spice that I can't really identify. I'm like a few others here, this is very soft and quiet on me, but nice enough. I haven't really tried it for results, but I may keep it around just in case.

Bottle (Imp): This smells sort of woodsy/smoky, and breezy. Just On: It still smells a lot like in the imp, but with something sweet peeking though. Almost like a sweet wood being burnt. An hour or two later: I smell the wood, but it's blended so well with a bit of sweetness that it's a whole new scent to me. I like the way this is morphing on my skin. Is that like coconut icing I smell? Around 6 hours: Sweet woodsy, but faded a fair amount by now. I'm not getting any more breezes. 12 hours: I can still smell a bit of woodsiness that's smoky and a little tiny bit incensy. It's nice. Overall: This is a pretty nice scent, and very well blended. I wasn't too sure I'd like it, but I do. If nothing else, I wanted it for the name. After reading other reviews: I never really got leather out of this, but I guess I can see how that might seem woodsy to me, so maybe that's it. I didn't get nearly the sweetness that others did, but I liked it nonetheless. I also didn't really get any wine or rum out of it.

Bottle (Imp): OoooOOOooooh. Sweet but darkly so. A woodsy note? Just On: Yes, dark, sharp, and some sweetness to it. When it first hits the nose, it's sweet, then the woodsy dark thing comes forth. If this stays true... I am *so* going to like it. An hour or two later: Delicious. It's somewhat sweet, spicy, a little bit dark, and it has faded a bit, but is still very lovely. Around 6 hours: Oh Gods I am sooo loving this! It is sweet, powdery, and lovely on my skin. Still a hint of spiciness, and a little dark (which is something like I might expect from Hecate herself). This is quickly moving up the ranks into the favorite scent list. 12 hours: The very last vestiges are almost detectable if I put my nose right on my skin and inhale deeply. Overall: I really liked this scent. It does remind me of Hecate, and feels true to her. Beth creates such magic with her blends. After reading other reviews: The powderiness must be the floral note others are getting. The almond was faint (though I didn't know what it was) and I get no butter out of it. Apparently my skin eats almond and takes it out of the mix.

Bottle (Imp): Fresh smelling. Clean and breezy. Just On: Ooh, watery. Fresh clean sea water. A hint of dryer sheet smell (in a good way). Like many other scents, I can't stop smelling it. An hour or two later: Dryer sheets and breezy. It's not too bad. Something not so nice is just barely peeking out. Around 6 hours: Dryer sheets, in a scent that I am not *quite* fond of, but that I'll deal with. It's not too bad, but it's lost some of the freshness it had, the breeziness. 12 hours: Faded dryer sheets (in the good way again). Pretty much that's it too. Overall: I rather like this, and between this and Dragon's Milk, I'm going to be trying more Ars Draconis scents. After reading other reviews: It seems like I more or less concur with others on this one. I get the saltiness, although I don't get a lot of Dragon's Blood from it.

Agony and ecstasy: black leather and damp red rose. Bottle (Imp): This smells a bit like animals. Not necessarily in a bad way, just like animals. Maybe with a hint of something else thrown in. 2nd Try: Animals and flowers. That's what I'm smelling. Just On: It smells like curing leather. And flowers. Maybe roses? (Remember, I don't read descriptions beyond seeing if I think I'll like it, so by then I've usually forgotten what's in it, and I don't read any reviews in the review section until I've reviewed it myself.) Hmm, not sure about roses. But it's curing leather and drying flowers to my nose. 2nd Try: I'm getting almost all roses this time, with a faint hint of leather. It's not so bad, but I really don't care for flowers. An hour or two later: Flowery. That's just about all I smell. I think it's rose, but I'm not very good and identifying flowers, as I have a thing against most of them. I smell like dried roses. 2nd Try: It's all perfume-y roses, and it's not agreeing with me much. It does smell like an expensive perfume blend, and a lovely one... for someone who likes roses. Around 6 hours: Now I smell like powdery dried roses. I wish I was getting more of the leather scent out of this. It's not the good sweet powder I get from some of the other scents, it's more like powdered up dried roses. I'm still sort of guessing on roses, but that's just what comes to mind. 2nd Try: All roses. Ugh, it doesn't like me. 12 hours: I don't smell much at all now, so it has faded away to a barely detectable hint of scent. 2nd Try: I'm left with the barest hint of roses. Overall: I think it's just too rose-y for my skin. I did look at the description again, and it's no wonder I smell roses. I'll have to try it one more time before I decide if it will be swapped. 2nd Try: I really don't know if I'll be able to keep this one. I just can't deal with that many flowers. After reading other reviews: Apparently I'm not the only one who gets all roses, all the time out of this one. Unfortunately, I can't deal with the roses on me, it's way too overpowering.

Bottle (Imp): Hmmm, I can't identify any of this. Something tart-y, and not really sweet, but sweet-like. 2nd Try: I think it smells a little citrus-y. Not terribly sweet, but there is some sweetness. Just On: Some kind of seasoning scent comes to mind. I have no clue at all. I keep smelling it over and over though, so it's not a bad scent. I have absolutely no clue what this is. 2nd Try: This time I get seasoned citrus. It smells a tiny bit like potpourri with lemon peels, but not quite lemon. Not lime or grapefruit either. Just something citrus. An hour or two later: This one faded a lot, but still smells very much like when it went on. Most certainly will have to be reapplied often. 2nd Try: It's pretty faded, but I can still smell it a bit. It's citrus with seasoning, some kind of mild spices. Around 6 hours: It's so close to gone that I can't tell if I can smell it anymore or not. 2nd Try: Not quite as gone as the first time, but still pretty faded. It's not too bad. 12 hours: It's definitely gone now. 2nd Try: It left this time too. I'm not sure if I'll keep this or not. Overall: Well, I like it, but it's certainly short-lived. I'm trying this again. 2nd Try: It's a nice enough scent, but it doesn't jump out to me as something I *must* have. After reading other reviews: I really didn't get pine out of this at all (which is good, for me, as I don't care for most pine scents). I'd like to see this released soon.

Bottle (Imp): This smells a little minty, and sort of sweet. Just On: I get some mint, and some herby scent that is laying very low in the background. Could even be citrus rather than herbs, but it's very low key. An hour or two later: This turned pretty sweet. Still a hint of mint. I'm thinking coconut, maybe something else sweet? Around 6 hours: Hint of sweet, not much else to it. 12 hours: All gone. Overall: I really like this one. I could see buying a bigger bottle for when I need a lift, the sweetness is nice, and that slight herbal edge is gorgeous mixed with it. All in all, this is probably my favorite Tarot so far. After reading other reviews: Well, coconut, lime or lemon, guess I was sort of getting to those. Apparently I'm not the only Star Lover round these parts, and I'm glad. I couldn't wear Spooky, but I can wear this!

Review Dana O'Shee Bottle (Imp): It smells like sugar and wheat. Just On: Ooh, sugary honey. And oats. An hour or two later: I can smell more crop smells, and less sweetness now. Around 6 hours: Yep, it smells a lot like going out into the fields and just smelling the crops out there. 12 hours: It went away, and I liked it. I would rather it had stayed. Overall: I can see getting more of this. It's not as sweet as many of the scents I usually like the best, but it's very nice, and evocative of laying in the middle of fields of grain. After reading other reviews: It looks like I pretty much concur with everyone else. It's hard for me when folks compare it to LUSH stuff, as I've never smelled any LUSH, and have no clue what it's like.

Review Black Pearl Bottle (Imp): Oh, this smells sweet. Just On: It's sweet, and smells like coconut icing maybe. I hope this one stays nice, as I am loving it big time right now. An hour or two later: The sweetness faded just a touch, and it still smells fairly nice. I can't ID what scents it has in it, but it's nice. It's smooth, rich, and creamy smelling. Around 6 hours: The sweetness has started to go away, and there isn't a lot left to this. I think I smell a bit of hazelnut? 12 hours: It's pretty much gone, though I once in a while get the faintest whiff of it. Overall: I think I like it. I'll be trying it a few more times for sure. After reading other reviews: Wah. It doesn't last on me like it has on several others. I do like it though, and I expect that I'll keep this one handy.

Review Zephyr Bottle (Imp): It smells pretty fresh, herby, a little breezy, and there *might* be a hint of citrus? Just On: There might be something sweet in this, but it sure isn't much. I still think that maybe there is citrus, but it's very faint. An hour or two later: It's still herby, but also some kind of wood note too. And I can smell flowers. That doesn't bode well all too often. Around 6 hours: I'm amping the flowers, and I don't like it. I can almost exclusively smell flowers now. There is a hint of wood of some kind, but the flowers are just too much for it. 12 hours: The flowers did finally dry down to a powder, but this was not a scent I'll be comfortable wearing. It's almost gone now, and I'm not complaining. Overall: It wasn't too bad, but it wasn't my style. The fresh herby scent at first was nice, but it doesn't last. After reading other reviews: I didn't get the strong lemon and vanilla scent (in fact, I'm not sure I was smelling vanilla at all). Since I amped up the florals, I guess this one is a goner for me. Too bad, I really thought I could like this one.

Review Sudha Segura Bottle (Imp): I can barely smell this one. I guess trying it out after cleaning out the back shed of 54 pounds of dust was a bad idea. 2nd Try: It's still a pretty faint scent to my nose. I can just barely pick up a whiff of it. Smells a bit like gingered milk to me. Just On: Smells like there is a little bit of wood here, but it's very very faint. This will have to be tried another time. 2nd Try: All I get is a bit of gingered milk on my skin. This seems like it isn't going to do much on me, except disappear very quickly. An hour or two later: There's the barest hint of wood, and that's all that's left. It's extremely faded. 2nd Try: It smells a bit like wood, not a terribly nice wood, but just kinda wood. Around 6 hours: Gone, gone, gone. 2nd Try: A faint hint of wood. Not much else though. 12 hours: Of course, still gone. 2nd Try: Totally gone now. Overall: If I can smell it, I might like it. 2nd Try: I like it, but since it isn't very strong, I don't know if I'll use it. I'll try it again and see how it goes then. After reading other reviews: This is a heartbreaker, because I think I'd really love it, if I could just SMELL it!

Review Bewitched Bottle (Imp): Hmmm, something fruity and citrusy? Maybe it's just berries and green-ness. I can't tell. Just On: I still smell citrus, but not the fruit itself. The peel. Maybe grapefruit peel? More citrus than other fruit. Some herby goodness in there. An hour or two later: I can still smell the fruit peel, though I can't tell which one it is, lemon or grapefruit. There's some berry scent with it, but that's it. Still a bit of green. Around 6 hours: It's almost gone, which shouldn't be a surprise, since citrus tends to go away fast. I wish the sweet berry scent I thought I smelled was still here. The herb scent ran away. 12 hours: Yep, totally gone. A very pleasant scent, and one I could see wearing when I'm looking for a bit of a lift. Overall: I wish it lasted longer, but it was nice while it did, and I can see using it. After reading other reviews: I don't get nearly the berry that others seem to be getting. I get much more citrus peel (which in and of itself is not a bad thing). At least I wasn't the *only* person to get something citrus out of this. Apparently my skin eats berries and doesn't let them smell pretty for long. The greenness faded quite a bit earlier than the rest. I like it, but can't say I love it.

Review Lampades Bottle (Imp): Oooh, sweet. Berries? Maybe tart berries. I like it so far. Just On: Ahhhh, that's sweet. This was quite a ways down my to-try list, but I'm *very* glad I got it, if this is what it smells like. It smells like crabapple jelly to me. Not sweet crabappple, but the way it smells before you add the sugar. An hour or two later: Mmmm, this is sweet and lovely. Not sugary sweet. More like berry sweet. Or crabapples, that's the only thing I can think to compare it to. It's really yummy. Around 6 hours: It's faded down, and not quite as sweet, but I get a hint of powdery, so I wonder what is making that. I still like it, and I wouldn't have bought it soon, but I am considering it now. Of course the lunacy blends are going to break me first... but this is very nice. 12 hours: There is the barest hint of sweetness left now. Overall: This is moving right up my list. Hasn't hit the top ten yet, but it's very nice. I can't think of anything else but crabapples when I wear it, which makes me think of Grandma, and I like that part of it. After reading other reviews: It must the the floral part that gives me the hint of powder. Maybe not top ten, but in the top twenty at least.

Review The Coiled Serpent Bottle (Imp): I really can't identify this. It's rather fresh smelling, possibly woodsy. Just On: Ooh, I get wood, and herbs. A sort of sharpish wood, but not sting-y, just some sharpness to it. Like it's fresh-cut. An hour or two later: Wood, herbs, and a bit of sweaty body odor? Not the good, just worked out body odor, more like the didn't take a shower and am stale body odor. Poo. Well, it was something I wanted more for The Mate to try. Or it can be a room scent. Around 6 hours: Mostly body odor scent, and it doesn't like me much at all. Will try it for The Mate. 12 hours: Ugh. Major body odor, the yucky kind. Overall: Well, it smells good for a little while, but fades into a really yucky body odor as it dries down. Usable as a room scent most likely, especially for chakra work. And I'll be trying it on The Mate to see what happens. After reading other reviews: I'm guessing the vetiver is what gave me the yucky body odor scent. I'm a little bummed that this dries down so horridly on me. I'll try to post if The Mate ever gets a chance to try this, but he's showing no interest right now.

Bottle (Imp): A bit boozy, a bit of sweet, fresh and crisp. Just On: Very crisp and clean, with a hint of sweet booziness to it. An hour or two later: I'm getting dryer sheets soaked in booze with the slightest hint of sweetness on me. Around 6 hours: It still smells almost exactly the same. Like dryer sheets soaked in booze. It has faded some, but that's all I'm getting out of it. I'm not complaining though, it's not too bad. 12 hours: I get these whiffs of the sweetness from this every so often. I don't have the dryer sheet thing (remember, it's not a BAD dryer sheet) anymore, but I can catch a hint of the booze if I press my nose to my arm to smell. Overall: I liked it, and will probably use up my imp. I don't know how soon I will buy a bigger bottle, as this didn't jump into the top ten list, but I can see getting one someday. After reading other reviews: I got the booziness like many others, and I certainly got the sweetness. I like it, but I have packaged it up to trade it away so I can try something else.

I ordered my Lunacies with PayPal. I prefer using it as it's directly debited from the bank account, and the money comes out right away, plus I have a PayPal receipt then. I'm in the US, but I don't see it being much different (except for the shipping part) as far as payment. You could check in the FAQ section, this might have been covered in one of the paying or international orders threads. If all else fails, perhaps you could arrange to PayPal someone in the US the money a few days ahead of the Lunacy, and then have them send it on to you. (I'd be willing to do this, I don't know that I'd order Peony Moon, but I could order it for you, and then send it on from here.)

Bottle (Imp): It doesn't smell too bad at all. I wasn't sure from the description. We shall see how it plays out. I'm not a huge musk person, except maybe the lighter ones. If my skin likes it, I won't complain though. Just On: Ahhhh something isn't happy right now. I'm going to guess the musk, because amber has usually been real good to me. It's smelling a bit sweet now. I'm not sure I get darkness or foreboding from it. It's kind of tickling my nose, in a maybe not good way right now. An hour or two later: I don't think I'm getting very much amber from this one. I almost feel sneezy when I catch a whiff of it, which doesn't bode well for keeping this scent around. I'm guessing it's the musk, and it may just be that I am so not used to it, because I do have a very sensitive nose. I'm not necessarily good at picking out notes or anything (mostly because I have no idea what they smell like on their own), but I can usually smell very clearly. Around 6 hours: It's faded quite a bit, but still not the powder I usually get from amber scents. I think I can smell a hint of lemon in here, and it would be so great if it would come out and really play. No Pledge scent, just a barest hint of lemon, perhaps the rind. I don't think this is a bottle scent for me, but it might be okay as an imp. We shall see. 12 hours: It's still here, still faded, and feels rather sharp. As in, I don't so much smell it as feel it when I sniff. It's like I'm standing at a crossroads, and one way leads to amber, and the other leads to dark musk... and I'm getting both scents, not together, but not seperate. It actually makes me shudder just a tiny bit when I go ahead and sniff it closer. I just stuck a bit of Hunter Moon over it to see if it will help it stay there and not bother me so much. With fresh Hunter Moon, I can barely smell it (but then again, it's been on for all day). After Hunter Moon is dry: it smells reasonably good, just the barest hint of Haunted with a mild dose of Hunter Moon. However, I'd rather wear the Hunter Moon alone, so Haunted is not MY scent. Overall: I got this as a frimp, and I didn't have it far up on my list at all. I just thought it would be awful on me. Instead, it's not so bad, and I could possibly wear it if I were to layer it. If it didn't give me a burny feeling in the back of my throat, I might say I really liked it. I think on the right person this could smell incredible, but unfortunately, that person is not me. I'm gifting it with a swap. (Pay it forward kinda thing anyway, so that feels good to do.) I just can't love it the way it needs to be loved. Poor Haunted, your name drew me, but your scent repelled me. After reading other reviews: Looks like this was a huge hit with a lot of people. That's awesome. I'm glad to know that this scent will be loved, because it deserves it, but I can't give it what it needs here. I love the name, but I was sort of right in that this will not work on me. I'm game to try more musks though, because I'm pretty sure there are some that work on me. I've gifted this in a swap.

Bottle (Imp): Smells kind of fresh and breezy. A hint of sweet. As with so many other scents, it reminds me of something but I can't quite figure out what. Just On: Some flowers maybe. Some citrus. I want to keep smelling it. An hour or two later: It's flowery, but it's not deadly flowers to my skin. I think it *could* be a scent to try on The Mate, when he isn't looking <g>. Around 6 hours: I'm wearing herbs and flowers now. It's not the flowers that hate me, but it's probably not going to endear this scent to me as a daily wearable. 12 hours: It's pretty well gone. I suppose someone with a fresh nose who hasn't been working outside all day might be able to smell it, but all I can smell is sweat (mine) and I'm going to wash that off. Overall: I think I like this one, but I'll probably have to try it a couple more times to be sure. It seems fairly fresh, and maybe a good scent to wear for a picnic or outdoor event. It might be one The Mate should try as well. After reading other reviews: I guess the reviews didn't tell me much more than what I knew or thought, so not much for comments here. I am going to try it on The Mate so we can see if it works.

Bottle (Imp): I have no clue how to describe this one. Maybe I'm not smelling right or something. It smells a bit like cologne, but I can't think of a brand or anything to compare it to. 2nd Try: Pretty much the same thing. It just doesn't smell too wonderful at all. Darn it. Just On: Ack used bandaids. And possibly cat pee?! Or maybe just peed on bandaids. Wow, I'm not enjoying that a bit. 2nd Try: Definately not good for me. Not so much cat pee as dirty old used bandaids this time. An hour or two later: WHEW total cat pee and a hint of bandaids. Way not liking this one at all. 2nd Try: Here comes the cat pee. It's not cat pee per se (I have 9 cats), but it's pee. Around 6 hours: Whew, powder with cat pee in it. Why do the ones I *want* to like always have some issue, but the ones I'm not sure about love me? Maybe if I stop wanting to like these, they will start liking me. I wonder if ovulating is making a difference. 2nd Try: Apparently it isn't ovulating that did me in. This one just doesn't like me. 12 hours: It did go away now. I'll give it a shot in a week or so and see how it works then. 2nd Try: Lucky for me, it did fade by now. Overall: We'll see on the second try. 2nd Try: With the same results, this one is off to the swaps. I can't even enjoy it as a room freshener or anything, because even out of the imp it just isn't working. After reading other reviews: This certainly does seem to be a love it or hate it one, and I guess I'd have to fall on the side of hate it. This is going off as a gift in a swap.

Bottle (Imp): Smells sweet. Not sugar or honey so much as sweetness in general. Just On: Oh, it is candy sweet when just on. As it starts drying, I think it smells a little bit like 'something' but I can't put my finger (nose) on just what. I think I like it. An hour or two later: It's still sweet, and morphing into a skin scent. I really like it. Around 6 hours: This has settled into a skin scent (You already know what that means, right?). It's still sweet, and staying true to the way it started out. 12 hours: Cherry Liqueur! That's what it smells like. No wonder I like it. Overall: I really like this scent, and can easily see it being something I would use for ritual as well. I'd certainly consider buying a big bottle of this, but it won't be at the top of the list like the LE's and such. It's up there though, and I'd wear this fairly often. After reading other reviews: I guess I'm not the only cherry smeller in the group. I like this, and will certainly see if it has the effect it should. I could really use a little prosperity.
