    Against Idleness and Mischief

    Pollen-dusted honey, diligent tonka, steadfast chamomile, and goodly hyssop. There isn't really anything I can add that hasn't already been said, but I wanted to voice my love for this scent. It strikes me as being very strait forward and true to the poem it's inspired by. I smell a busy, virtuous bee. A bit of a disclaimer, I'm totally useless when it comes identifying any notes other than the obvious, in this case honey. So, I smell honey and something clean and powdery, but not like baby powder and not that powdery smell things sometimes get when they react weirdly with my body chemistry. It doesn't morph and it lasts me though a standard work day. I can't really comment on the throw because I apply things very lightly (if it escapes a 3 inch radius around me its too strong). For me, it has the hint that it could be headache inducing sweet, but never manages to cross the line. I guess it also kind of reminds me of the steampunk mechanic No. 93 makes me feel like only scrubbed clean and made presentable.

    Crowley

    Golly is this dam-blessed sexy. The best I can describe it as is it’s like a man took off his rich leather coat for you to wear and it’s still warm and has the lingering smells from his body. I'm still not very good with notes so I can only talk about the ones I know which are pretty basic. I can smell the lemon at first, but it’s gone instantaneously (it might just be because I seem to absorb citrus like a sponge). To me its mostly leather with a musky-cologney smell sweetened by some vanilla. I categorize it as masculine, but that doesn’t stop me from wearing it. I'd love to meet a man who smells like this, or maybe just a human incarnation of Crowley.

    White Chocolate and Strawberry

    This is delicious, its like eating chocolate covered strawberries or maybe strawberry truffles from See's Candy all day without all of those awful calories. To me, it it kind of wavers between milk and white chocolate, initially more milk, but as time is going on I'm starting to smell white. The strawberry is perfect, its not too syrupy and overpowering. Overall, yum .

    White Rabbit

    The first time I smelled this was at my first will call. In the bottle it was soured milk, disappointed, I shut it without testing it. With a little more experience I decided to give White Rabbit another try. I had really wanted to like it and Alice ended up disappointing me by developing into a powdery-flowery scent that reminded me of a cabbage patch kid doll after extended wear. I'm glad I did, because on it ended up being very similar to what I had hoped it would smell like. For me it doesn't go sour or powdery, it stays a creamy black tea over a light floral smell. With time, I start to notice the pepper a bit more, its a delicious touch. Note, this is a very faint scent. I personally prefer to only put on enough of any scent so that I can only smell myself vaguely if I move my head. I can achieve that with White Rabbit without making a conscious effort to dab very little on.

    Eat Me

    This is a delicious scent, its got a lovely, light sponge cake like quality without the calories. To my untrained nose, it smelled like it had a bit of sweet-candyish lemon to it, but reading the description its probably the currants (I've never had or smelled one before so I can't say for sure). Over time its gotten a little more powdered sugar, but is still very nice.

    Phoenix Steamworks

    The best I can describe the smell of this is sweet metal. For me its almost fruity, though in a similar way as how Fruit Loops has fruit in the title but doesn't smell like any real fruit I've ever smelled. I suppose I'm just using fruit in place of a more accurate, specific description I don't know. It's rather intriguing. At first I smell this sweet scent that would almost be off putting to me if not for the metallic tang I get after it that makes my brain go "huh?", then I sniff again and it becomes an enjoyable loop. It's bronze with a rosy hue (is that possible?). Its not as warm as No. 93 Engine, but not cold metal, something in between. All and all very nice.
