    Blood Moon 2005

    I get cinnamon and...........bug spray? Something in this goes all wrong on me. Its so faint I can barely smell it. *sighs* Off to the swap pile

    Dirty

    Very fresh and clean. Its like diving face first into a load of laundry fresh out the dryer when its still warm. I can't recognize any individual notes. On another note, the sweater I'm wearing has a strong vanilla scent to it, probably left over from another blend I wore while wearing it. The vanilla goes well with this

    All Night Long

    Cinnamon and some sort of sandalwood undertone? Its definately cinnamon and something woody. I'll never know if it works or not because its burning like hell and I have to go wash it off now

    Juke Joint

    Sugary mint. There's a tiny bit of Bourbon, but not a lot. The bourbon is showing a little, but its starting to go all powdery on me *edit* FINALLY bourbon! Sweet booze. Mint Julep! YAY!........and its a little chocolatey?

    Gingerbread Poppet

    Last years Gingerbread Poppet quickly turned all cinnamon, then went on to smell like Hobby Lobby, and food scents in general don't work on me. so i was really in no hurry to try this. This is good! It smells the same on my skin as it does in the vial, and I'm getting a nice brown sugar vibe. A nice creamy brown sugar. I LOVE brown sugar. Very pretty blend!

    Water of Notre Dame

    This is very very green and aquatic. It is very soothing at first, but then it starts to trigger a headache *sighs*
  7. There's a bunch of different musks. White musk, red musk, civet..... Here's a thread that can explain it better than me. Musks stump me too http://www.bpal.org/index.php?showtopic=8651&hl= I hope you find an answer there

    Imp

    This makes me smile. Its all peach and amber, with a tiny bit of musk. I'm not a big peach fan, but this is fun. Its very faint and doesn't last too long. The patchouli is coming out and it changes a bit. The peach isn't so strong now and its becoming a scent thats more like something I'd wear.

    Jazz Funeral

    I bought a bottle of this, unsniffed. I'm glad I did. Its definately bourbon, with flowers underneath, but the flowers are wilting. I'm not getting any dirt (poo, i LOVE dirt) but this is still beautiful. Its very sweet and I agree with the comparison that Zombi and Penny Dreadful threw a drunken party and had this baby.....but thankfully, no roses. The florals are possibly magnolia and something else. I can't really pick it out.

    Wrath

    This kind of smells plastic like, but also like red hots. I'm definately getting the cinnamon and clove, with just a tiny bit of dragon's blood. i guess this smells the most like a cinnamon candle.

    Val Sans Retour

    In the vial, its all grapefruit. on my skin, it smells like christmas trees when you've just bought it and you are string ing up the lights. I still get the grapefruit too. This is a very light citrusy green

    Dragon's Hide

    I was wary of this one. I love smoke, but leather is always iffy on me (I'm vegan, so the smell is a little ehh)............The leather and smoke blend well with the dragon's blood, which isn't too over powering in this blend. Its very understated on my skin and not too strong. I'm glad I can add this to the dragon's blood blends I can wear

    All Saints'

    sweet, dusty resin and frankincense............I don't get any rose, and for that I'm happy

    Asphodel

    In the vial this is rather sharp. Sharper than I thought it was going to be. On my wrist, it keeps changing. It smells very familiar at first, but then it smells like pickles. Then it smells familiar again. Then it smells like bandaids. Then it smells familiar again. Then it smells very medicinal. Now its back to smelling familiar. Now I'm getting the same thing Gingersnapp got. Secret Deoderant. I think this is going to the swap pile

    Dragon's Heart

    This is mostly dragons blood. There's a tiny bit of resin and I'm getting the red musks, so thankfully not the red musk that went wrong on me in Dragon's Musk. I think I'll stick with straight dragon's blood or dragon's milk

    Al-Araaf

    Sweet! Its toeing the line between floral and herbal. It started out floral, then is becoming more herbal. OOH! I used to wear Venezia by Laura Biagotti and this is starting to remind me of that, only cleaner and better. I'm going to have to buy a bottle before it goes away

    Dreamland

    This is so pretty! Even though its florals and I don't usually like those, I love this. I can't pick out a lot of the individual notes, but this smells just like the gardenia bush in my back yard. When it starts to get warm, it scents the entire backyard. This is a very creamy floral scent. I'm starting to think I should have gotten a bottle of this instead of Lady of Shallot for my mother

    Hearth

    Hearth 2004 is one of my favorite scents, so I pouted when it was changed and said I wasn't going to try it. THen I grew up and got an imp. In the vial, its all buttery and I'm scared, because buttery notes go all vanilla candle on me. But I put it on and BOOM! Its pine! and nuts! and smoke! with a subtle underlying butteryness. This is very pretty. THe cedar comes out for a bit. This is definately roasting nuts in front of a fire. Tis beautiful
  19. Tarot- The Ace of Pentacles is a dirty, sweet Pine note. I just tried it today

    Ace of Pentacles

    Oh, this is VERY interesting. Its earthy, but sweet at the same time I'm getting pine, patchouli, and honeysuckle. Its sharp and woody, but very sweet at the same time. I'm definately getting a bit of almond in there. I smells like you dropped your candy in the dirt. I LOVE dirt and earth scents, so I'm really liking this.

    Gypsy Queen

    In the imp, it smells like.........pita bread?? when it dries, it smells like eating pita bread in a head shop. I had the same experience with Queen of Sheba, but it was eating pizza in a head shop. This is really heavy and perfumy. This is off to the swap bin

    Blood Amber

    This is almost all dragon's blood on me, but its like Dragon's Blood Lite. The amber is kicking in and making this smell like a very very sweet version of The Lion.. It seems to be triggering some sort of migraine today though. I'm not sure why, I can wear amber and I can wear dragon's blood.

    Snow Bunny

    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. It starts out like pine with a little bit of candy As it dries, it keeps getting stronger and sweeter till its screaming berries. Its making me quite nauseated and my head is hurting, so I'm going to go wash it off. It reminds me of a soap I had. This is very very strong, and very sweet, but its killing my allergies.

    Pulse Points

    This is dark and musky. This is the first scent where I can say "hrm....civet" Civet isn't bad on me. I don't get the bandaids or manure. This is a dark, musky, heady, perfumy scent. Its very strongly perfumy and reminds me of some commercial perfume I've smelled before, but can't remember what

    Talvikuu

    *sighs* The only oil that really popped out at me when the Yule order was announced was Drosselmeyer. But I've been snagging imps from forumites just to try and I've wanted to order every single one of them. This Yule update will be the death of my bankaccount! Fir and Pine can go really bad on my skin, so I was wary of this one. But this is sweet fir and resin, with the sweetness of snow. I almost get some sort of berry? Usually fir SCREAMS on me, but in a few minutes, this has softened up to a really subtle scent. This is very beautiful. Its bordering on a little masculine and I'd like to try it on a male soon
