Mmmm. Musky fruit, heavier on the musk than on the fruit. The fruit is a sort of melony light scent, not terribly sweet. I definitely get a sense of traveling to another world with this one, a rare and wonderful treat!

Spicy, chocolaty coconut cake. Nice, but not quite my cuppa.
-
I had very good luck with Genivire this past fall. Cobra Lily was another one I wore a lot, but Genivire was what I wore to the interviews for the job I eventually got.
-
Mmmmmm...this is cakey, but with enough spicy, winey not-cake notes that it is totally wearable even for a developing cake-o-phobe like myself. I love this scent - it may be my fave of the whole Yule collection - which thus far is all love in my nose.
-
Oh but how I would love to love this. Oh but how the jasmine makes it impossible. SOB...
-
Swampy is really the only word I can use to describe this. I can see why it's appropriate, but it is really not me.
-
A dark, masculine aquatic - this doesn't quite work on me, but is gorgeous on my husband - the woody resins balance the water out perfect and the shot of tobacco is just lovely.
-
Wow, this is a beautiful blend - rich, full bodied, and tinged with just a hint of blood. Not sweet Dragon's Blood, but a real, dark iron rich blood scent, which blends perfectly with the musk and whatever else makes this so lovely.
-
Ummm, yum? I didn't really expect to love this one, as I think of myself as not inlove with food scented scents, but this is all soft vanilla and butter and is just the perfect light sugar cookie!
-
This is sharp and animalistic - there is a definite dark musk/vetiver in this, and a furry warm note that is similar, but not quite as...comforting as Coyote. I like this, and it has a lot more depth than I feared it might, but not enough to have hunted down a bottle.
-
Very rose, but a more complex rose than Rose Red, after a while this morphs into something that is more of a rose heavy general floral on me. It is nice, but a little too much for moi.

I don’t always have to be sinister, do I? Here’s to finally being able to hit the slopes again! Soft white powder snow with a touch of youthful girlie perfume. Piney with a sweet berry note. This was almost indistinguishable from mistletoe to my nose at first, but then got a little sweeter, and, well, girlier.
-
This is warm and rich and perfectly powerdy amber. I really like this. In a side by side test, I can discern almost no difference between the 2005 and 2006 versions, btw... They are both just gorgeous and golden and almost glistening...
-
The 2005 version of Midnight Mass was the scent that changed my entire view of incense blends - this is a sweet, soft comforting incense, the incense of hope and life. I really like this.
-
2005 Version - A sweet powdery musk with florals, but they are not overwhelming. This is definitely a party blend. Comparing this with 2006 - after aging a year, the alcohol comes out more in this - I think that new, these smell very similar, but there is more of an alcoholic haze in my year old decant than I get from the musky floral breathy smoke of the new bottle. I think that after slathering this on NYE, I shall cellar this for a few months, and see what time makes of Ms. Stardust...

Green, soft, watery. I cannot pick out any notes, alas...
-
Whoo is this jasmine. Like it starts to burn my eyes jasmine to the point where I cannot do a proper review. If you like the jaz, tho - this could be a winner.
-
In three words: citrusy, creamy, yellow. And yummy! Please re-release the astros Beth!!!!
-
(Based on original forumlation) This is an herbal woody mint scent. My notes on this scent indicate that I'd intended to buy a bottle of this when it was rereleased. Wonder what I was thinking that day.
-
I have tried both the original formulation and the revisited version - eventually I swapped for the revisited, which I failed to order the first time around, because I'm a dope, but nevermind that, on to the goods: This is a bright, spicy floral blend - very fresh and evocative of bright yellow...sunshine.
-
This review is based on a decant from the discon. circular swap, not the 2006 resurrection: I cannot wear the vast majority of heavy jasmine blends, and unfortunately, no amount of citrus/spicy/Oriential perfumierie magic can save Yuki-Onna from being heavily jasmine to my chemistry. Ah well.
