    Herr Drosselmeyer

    HERR DROSSELMEYER Magus, toymaker, and Godfather to Klara. An enigmatic man, seemingly somewhat sinister, but bearing a gentle air and a sincere love for children. This scent is dignified, refined, but dark, and hints towards esoteric mysteries and the secrets that tie mechanics to magick. Pipe smoke, sweet leather, woods and linen. Wow, I can't believe I'm the first one. ohhh the pressure. Anyway, I got to try this one at the will call. I mentioned how much I love clove and Forest suggested that I try this one. It doesn't have clove in it, but it has that same dark heft to it. Deep and dark are the best ways I can describe this one. I get the tobacco, tobacco - not smoke, but not so much of the other notes specifically. It really is deep and complex. mmmm I like it. It's not entirely masculine, but would smell nice on a guy. A dark, mysterious guy.

    Sugar Skull

    Sugar Skull '07- My first reaction is that I love this. It is so sweet and it isn't going bad on my skin like most sweet scents do. It's also a little smoky. Yummy.

    Al-Shairan

    Mmmm I love clove! I really don't get much of any of the other notes, but I do like it. I think I am also getting some other spicy notes, like cinnamon. It's a keeper.

    Glasgow

    All I am getting is the heather. It is soft, but I don't really like it. It's not my style.

    Frumious Bandersnatch

    This one is very much like the description on me. It starts out as mostly the spicy floral and then the plums come in underneath. It is nice, but I don't think I will wear it as much as everything else I have.

    Monster Bait: Closet

    Sweet. I am getting the blackberry note, but not the specific cake one. It is like a combination of tart blackberry juice with added sugar and something else that I can't place. It is good, but I am not getting any wear out of it.

    Lenore

    Dark! It gets very soft after just ten minutes. At first I wasn't so sure that I liked it, but now it is pretty interesting and pleasing. I really like the lab's patchouli. I don't really get any plum though. I was just going through my bottles deciding which ones I had to get rid of (I'm moving and need the space. I have too many unused oils.) This one was almost sent out, but now I have to keep it after one last try.

    Red Phoenix

    Red Phoenix on me is dark, moody, and spicy clean smelling. I've had this for a while and honestly have only worn it once. I think it is time for it to be moving on to a more appreciative owner.

    Pink Phoenix

    I like the fruity sweetness, but the vanilla is doing what it always does and it is ruining the prettiness.

    Monster Bait: Underbed

    Hmm I thought I had already reviewed this, but I guess not. Monster Bait: Underbed is very sweet cassia on me. Probably not my first choice, but I do like it. It's warm and comforting.

    The Death of Autumn

    Dead leaves and the dirty ground when I know you're not around. Shiny tops and soda pops when I hear lips make a sound, when I hear lips make a sound, Can't help thinking of this song for this scent. To me it is dead leaves, dirt, and old wood. It warms up later. Not sure I'd get much wear out of it.

    Purple Phoenix

    At first this was juicy wet. It was fruit. And yes, it was purple. After a bit the grapes took dominance. Then it was less juicy and more floral, but dark. Overall, I do like it, but I might layer it with some clove or something to take the grape down a bit.

    Litha 2006

    I love it!!! This goes on my new favorites list. The first time I wore it I got flowers, then sweet flowers, then soft honey. I wore it again today and the first whiff was orange peels and honey. Mmmmmmmmmmm Then it was floral and sweet and now honey. I love this so much.

    Temple of Dreams

    There is something in here that reminds me of a note in some of the more herbaceous voodoo oils. I can't place it though. The scent of this is herbal and a little sharp. Probably rosemary or lavender. It is dark green (the scent not the color of the oil).

    Whip

    ROSE! Rose rose rose, rose rosey rose rose. Rose rose roses. Rose rose, "Rose rose?" Rose. Rose rose rosely roses. Rose. Ok a little later a bit of leather came out. But rose amps big time on my skin.

    Lurid

    Wet this is spicy and airy and fresh. It's a little sharp. It gets darker as it dries. And then on my skin it is totally gone. It doesn't last on me.

    Sophia

    I can't think of what this reminds me of. Maybe birch? It's cold and peppery. It's a little minty and the lavender is coming out. It's definitely herbal. I don't think I'll really wear it much.

    Yemaya

    wow melon! This is fruity with a teeny bit of floral. Sweet. I like it. After a bit it calms down and gets much lighter. It's still lots of honeydew.

    Chaos Theory III: Strange Attractors

    MXII- I got this a while back and never reviewed it. It's about time I did. It is very woody on me. It is woody and fresh and clean at the same time. Very interesting. Last reviewed by storme

    Fortunato

    It starts out as bright, sparkly, orange. It is orange dessert wine. yummmm It mellows down a lot on my skin after a while. I wish it stayed as bright as when I first put it on, but I still like it.

    The Pit & The Pendulum

    This is very woody on me. There is also some incense in here. Someone else mentioned that this is like Al-Azif. I agree (from what I remember), but not quite as sweet as Al-Azif. Overall I like it, but there are other similar ones that I wear more.

    The Masque

    I just realized that I never reviewed this one. It is very deep and dark and heavy. On my skin the notes I like the best (honey, clove, and sandalwood) get a bit lost. As it dries more it gets more sexy. The smoke and incense burn off a little and the other notes get to breathe a bit.

    The Haunted Palace

    It starts out waxy orange with a little spice. It is warm and floral as well. Then after a bit, the rose starts really taking over (this happens on my skin) and then after a little longer it starts going weird (I just know it is the vanilla doing this). Grrr stupid vanilla.

    Vampire Tears

    I can't believe there's jasmine in this. Usually jasmine is terrible on me, but in this it's so great! It is cool and icy. I love it. In the imp it smells foody, but on my skin it's lemony and cold. I think I need a whole bottle. ETA: :'( It's a little later and now it's doing that thing that jasmine does on my skin. I really liked this one. grrrrr Maybe I'll try it with a carrier oil and see if that helps.

    Pirate Moon

    Wow. This is much prettier and softer than I expected. At first it was very fresh and green. Then bizarrely it goes to flowers and reminds me of the trumpet plant in my backyard. Then when it is completely dry it goes a tiny bit musky with the green. It fades quite a bit on my skin. I wish it was a little stronger after it dries. And I wish my skin let the musk out a little more. I do really like it though.
