I was a little afraid of the generic "perfume" and "cologne" in this one, but they are really rich and wonderful - this is a light playful scent, with a touch of effervescent champagne, and a soft, almost vanilla floral perfume mixed with a more masculine leather/musk scent for the gents.

This is a very cleansing scent - lemony, herbal, almost astrigent.

To me, this is all incense and heady warm florals. I am almost afraid to look and see what other people thought about Muladhara, because the deeper I go into the Chakras, the more bizarre my interpretations... I should note that I can wear vetiver easily, but I'm not getting dark musky woods from this at all...

My initial impression of this is as rich and warm, comfortable. As I try to pick out notes, I get almost solely nuttyness. Looking over the other reviews, I am getting more and more convinced that the farther into the Chakras I go, the more bizarre my chemistry - or perhaps my Chakras - are...

My impression of this is as something fresh and warm, with just a touch of citrus. I actually don't get much floral out of this, which must just be a trick of my chemistry.

This is a rich herbal blend - mostly anise and possibly eucalyptus to my nose - I see I'm not alone. Being a fan of anise, this is not a problem for me. This is a strong blend, with lots of throw, that definitely can clear the senses.

This is a light sweet/spicy blend - it reminds me of the soft spiciness of carnations, with sweet incense.

Spicy incensey floral - I'm not a huge geranium fan, and the rose geranium is a standout in this blend. It is pretty, but a little too dusty/flowery for my taste.

I love the Lab's lily scents, but am less sure of callas and lily of the valley, so I wasn't sure how this would work on me. This is a lovely scent - the pepper and ginger work well with the already spicy-sweet tone of the lily, but this is just a little to floral for my taste ultimately. If you like the florals in this, though, this could be a must have blend.

Seconding/thirding Dana O'Shee. Also, Port Au Prince starts out very almond/ameretto to my nose.

I get very sweet, almost honeyed spring florals from this, with a nice sprinkling of the thyme and mint and a hint of fruitiness. It fades by mid-day, which is sad, but while it lasts, this is a lovely Bull...Ferdinand, indeed.

Mmmmmm. This is damn good. I adore the 2005 Milk Moon - I have two bottles and am almost out of the first. It is my ultimate comfort scent - what I turn to when I have a migraine, or cannot sleep, or am just sad. It is my pillow scent, my bedtime scent, what I want my teddy bear to smell like. This - this is MM 2005's sophistocated older sister. The base is virtually identical - I can smell the same creamy, buttery vanilla, but the fig and the pom and the dates and the grape combine to make this something much more wearable for, you know, day, and a suit and the office. This is ambrosia, baby, and damn it's good.

Wow, this is just gorgeous...there is a sweetness here that is just lovely - I'd have put money on this being "caramel tobacco" or there being tonka in this, but mostly this is just like it is pictured - a comfy leather chair, a slightly sweet cigar, and a light light musk. Damn, this is sooooo good.

This is a very chilly snow/pine/juniper blend. Gorgeous for that combination.

Wow, this is an amazingly gorgeous scent - dark and forboding husky woods and resins with a wash of sweet sweet orange and tea. I kept grabbing my wrist to get a better sniff of this one...just amazing.

Like Shellie back in the first review for this, I get a sweet, juicy scent from this, with a wash of musky incense. I have no idea where the ripe juice is coming from - almost a fruity honey sort of scent, but with the woody, incense, this is just absolutely gorgeous. A big bottle for sure.

Very very fresh effervescent sweet champagne and strawberry. This is a light berry, not a sweet candy-berry, wearable for me, even where I could wear say 2005's Pink and Strawberry Moons. This is lighter and sweeter than what I normally wear, but I can see keeping an imp of this around for the summer.

Attar of rose, violet, white pear, Queen Elizabeth root, and freesia. THis is a light floral with a lot of pear - I get mostly rose, which is one of my fave florals, something a little woody, and the pear, which make for a really interesting combination. I like it more than I would have expected and think I'll probably keep the decant around for awhile.

Energy, vigor, verve, strength, courage, balls. Sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, shea oil, coconut milk, ginger essential oil, witch hazel, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Elixir blend. Yummy spicy orange - much like Moxie oil. Even it its baggie, this bomb totally scents the room. I should note that Moxie was an oil that I tried, liked the idea of, but was a little overwhelmed by as an oil. But as a bath bomb, for a morning or mid-day bath, where you want a pick-me-up before heading out into the world - this is just perfect. It is bright, and effervescent and very highly scented. As for the bomb itself, it fizzed quickly and powerfully, and made the water soft, smooth and a refreshing bath all around. Moxie for everyone!

I almost ordered a bottle of this straight out, and wish I had - this is fresh light herbs on me - just lovely -chamomile, sage with a hint of vanilley incense and a breath of golden hay. This is such a lovely spring/summer scent.

Musky and spicy - I'm not at all sure what I expected from this - I don't get much chocolate cherry, to be sure. Unfortunately, cassia and caramel do a one-two bad chemistry pubch with me - with caramel getting burnt, and cassia getting sharp, this is alas not a winner for me.

Green and, well, lavendar. Very herbal with a definite floral pinge - this is very pretty, very light, a tad almost dusty.

Total cuke for me, folks. Maybe a sprinkle of fresh mowed grass, but this is 99% crisp, green cucumber, down to that almost peppery bite that some have when they are really fresh and cold.

Thanks ivyandpeony for the imp! This starts out very very berry on me - I didn't remember the notes in this one, although I remembered something about berries, but I didn't expect it to be so WOW, juicy berry! right off the bat. Not that I'm complaining. After a few minutes the pine and cedar and tomato leaf come out to play and ground those playful cranberries and blackberries. This is a really rich, wonderfully outdoorsy scent - I love it and need a bottle, stat!

This is bright, tart APPLE, with such an interesting undertone. I can't pick out notes, but while the apple is definitely predominant, and a must try for any apple lover, the poisons add a twist to this that make it more than an apple "single note".
