    Windward Passage

    Strong, acrid aquatic. NEXT. Out of 10: 1.

    High John the Conqueror

    Wow, I really like this! Like sweet laundry detergent. A very light skin scent. There's a little tinge of ozone, but I actually don't mind that note in this blend. It's really nice. I can see how it would be empowering. Out of 10: 7.5!

    Languor

    Not too bad..It's a soft florat, very indescript and ladylike. Just not very exciting. I get a hint of melon on the dry down. Weird. Out of 10: 2.

    Lear

    Cool, dry woods and something herbal but not sharp. It does feel like a scent for an older gentleman, but it's still very nice. I'd like to smell it on a boy! Out of 10: 4

    Aureus

    Meh. Drug store cologne. I don't HATE it, but it's nothing special. MEH. Out of 10: MEH.

    Tavern of Hell

    Wow, so many notes listed, yet all I can smell is WHISKEY. It's beating me over the head, and I can't put it on my skin. Anyone who has read any of my reviews or posts about boozey scents knows how much I LOATHE them. So I can't do it. Blurgh. Swap box. Out of 10: -23456. BOOZE.

    Loviatar

    Warm, snuggly boy. I don't know why this brings that to mind, but it does. It's very comforting and masculine. It almost reminds me of my grandfather. I'll keep my imp for that reason. Out of 10: 3 for scent, 7 for nostalgia. EDIT: Never mind. This is the sexiest thing I've ever put on my skin. I must like red musk! Whoda thunk. It's still androgynous, but that almost makes it sexier for me to wear it. A 10!

    La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente

    A fruity aquatic?! So strange! I really like it though. It's really unique, and I think it's going to grow on me. I don't normally like to wear fruity scents, but I'm starting to enjoy aquatics, so maybe.... Out of 10: 7

    Hunger

    Apparently orange blossom is made of fail on me..or maybe it's the narcissus I'm hating. Whatever it is, it's BAD. Out of 10: 0!

    Black Lotus

    Sexy candy. Very syrupy sweet, but with something darker grounding it. It doesn't feel like "me," but I like it anyway. I'll find someone it suits better, but I'll enjoy sniffing my imp in the meantime. Out of 10: 7

    Incubus

    Smells like beautiful caramel in the imp; on my skin, it's all celery (the way celery tastes, if that makes sense). BOO. Out of 10: 1

    Cthulhu

    All I can smell is seaweed..which I actually don't mind! Nice to have an imp at hand if I feel like smelling the ocean. I am a Maritimer, after all. Out of 10: 5.

    Hermia

    The pink pepper in this blend is DIVINE. A little high-pitched, but also sweet and spicy. Yum. However, something (honeysuckle?) goes a little too sweet on me and this becomes rather cloying. After a few hours, it smells much nicer, but who wants to wait that long? I'm definitely going to give this to a friend who I know will appreciate; hopefully her skin chem is less finicky then mine! Out of 10: 6 (Definitely give it a try, it's a beautiful scent in the imp).

    Inez

    Smells like bug spray in the bottle, but on my skin, she SINGS! Delicious creamy musk, non-powdery amber (a miracle!), sticky vanilla and a touch of spice. Perfection. This is one I think will get even more amazing with age. This might be my new clubbing scent! Out of 10: 9

    Under the Harvest Moon

    I so wanted to like this! Ugh! It's just too high-pitched and perfumey for me.. I'm not sure which note is doing it, but it gives me a headache. I'm going to let my bottle age a bit to see if it smoothes out a little. I want the perfection other people are getting! Out of 10: Inconclusive.

    Boo

    This. Dead on. I love it, it's a cleaner, fresher Midway. Delicious! I may need another bottle! Out of 10: 9

    Trick or Treat

    Wh..what? I've eaten candy corn many a time, it's delicious. However I have NEVER noticed any kind of "smell" that radiates from the little candies. So how does this smell EXACTLY like candy corn to me? It's uncanny! But how?! HOW?? I guess it smells the way they taste, if that makes sense. Anyway, I love this blend. It's quirky and sweet and FUN. It's gets slightly spicier and more "adult" after about an hour. I love it and will definitely cherish my bottle! Out of 10: 9

    Lambs-Wool

    Yum! This does smell a bit like an "Autumn Apple" sort of candle, but I love it! I get mostly the freshest, most succulent apple, with swirls of the nutmeg and cinnamon and a touch of sweetness from the cream. So comforting and delicious, great for fall! As it dries down, I get even more of the spices, and it becomes delicious apple cider. I'm so glad I found this; I haven't been able to find an apply blend that I love yet, but this fills that niche!

    The Girl

    Oh my goodness. This smells like the incredible vanilla musk drydown of Dorian on me. I can have that sweet, sensual smell without having to wait hours! It's a tiny bit "perfumey," but it's so amazing anyway. It IS a serpentine, white scent. Sweet and innocent, with something dark lurking underneath. I'm going to need at least another bottle of this one. (And I got the gorgeous color label, yay!) Out of 10: 10+

    The Isles of Demons

    BLACK MUSK NOOOO! My nemesis! Sour, powder, bad bad bad!!!! I can't get past the wet stage, I needed to wash it off. Black musk just goes too foul on my skin.

    Shadow Witch Orchid

    In the Imp: A nice, sweet floral. I actually like this, and I'm not a big floral person. It almost smells a bit fruity. Wet: Oh, it's a little too perfumey now. A heady, old-fashioned floral. Not as nice at all. Dry: A mixture of the two. I'll probably keep my imp, but I won't need any more. It's just alright. Out of 10: 5

    Morocco

    I love this. It's dry and sweet, with light spice and a vanilla that resembles Antique Lace. In fact, it's like a more exotic Antique Lace. Delicious, I need a big bottle ASAP. The throw is light but the scent lasts a long time. Out of 10: 8

    Hell's Belle

    In the Imp: Hmm, sour, smokey floral. Smells very familiar. Wet: A tiny hit of citrus, that same smokey magnolia, and maybe a faint breath of spice. Much better! Dry: Yum. Light citrus and magnolia, and a little more spice. Very subtle and lovely. I'd probably wear this to work, or somewhere where I needed to be taken seriously. Out of 10: 7

    Sugar Moon 2008

    First off, I love the label art. Jus' sayin'. I have a cold, so my notes might be a little off, but I'll do my best. In the Bottle: Syrupy sugar, berries, and some kind of light sweet floral. Wet: The same. It reminds me of the crunchy top of creme brulee, topped with berries and a little garnish of pale flowers. Very feminine. Dry: A little smoother, but still that same sweet sugar note with a background of berries and floral notes. After about an hour, it smells like sugared strawberries. It's lovely. I wish I got the blue musk though. Out of 10: 7

    The Apple of Sodom

    In the Imp: Ew, it smells like an apple soaked in perfume. BLUH. Wet: Slightly nicer, but still a very sour, bitter apple smell. Dry: The same. Not for me. Out of 10: 2
