    Jolly Roger

    this is a scent that contains rum that is actually pretty nice on me. it smells oceany but not ozone/aquatic. i get a salty feel and a slight rum scent...the leather balances it out nicely. i like to wear some more traditionally masculine scents, and this one is a nice scent, but it's just not 'me'. intriguing though!

    Phantasm

    this reminds me of embalming fluid with jasmine added, which is what it essentially is (i think?) as usual, my skin amplifies the jasmine, and i am not a big jasmine fan. i mostly smell the verbena + jasmine and the other notes are in the background. it does remind me of a softer lush flying fox as someone else said. i think i'll swap this one, it's just not very 'me'.

    The Wheel of Fortune

    when i first put this on, it reminded me of minty root beer. now that it's faded it just smells like straight root beer candy. it's kind of nice...i don't know how much i would wear this, but it's a really interesting scent!

    Smut

    ooooh this smells like mostly amber and red musk on me and maybe carnation? or at least something spicy, not sure what. everyone seems to be comparing it to snake oil...but i like this a lot better on me than i did snake oil. it's been so long since i tried it, but snake oil turned powdery on me. this is warm and sweet and lovely and i want a bottle right now!

    Mars

    i basically tried this just because i'm an aries. i cannot pick out any of the notes in this at all. i can smell a slight spiciness and something sweet, some sort of floral, maybe orchid (it reminds me of shadow witch orchid a bit). it does smell very red though, as others have said. it's the slightest bit perfumey too, and is more pleasant than i thought it would be.

    Hippiesh, spicy, musky scents - without patchouli

    i agree with the snake charmer recommendation. i'm not a big fan of snake oil on me, but snake charmer smells excellent.

    Shortcut to Exotic Places - Wanderlust Recs

    bengal, london and tenochtitlan are my favorite wanderlust scents. also liked, but not as much- dublin, amsterdam, silk road.

    Montresor

    this smells like a fruity woody wine scent on me. also it's so strong that i get a headache. i like wine scents, but fruit and wood is hit or miss and this one is definitely a miss.

    Two, Five & Seven

    i like some rose scents, but generally they are of the dusky/spicy variety. two five and seven is too...youthful for me, for lack of a better word. it's very sweet like rose candy, something i am not too keen to smell like. ETA: now it has a bubblyness to it, like if they made a bubbly rose water, this is what it would smell like. better than before, but still too sweet for me.

    Blood Amber

    this is the first dragon's blood scent that i like thus far. i really only went for this one because i love amber, and want to try anything with prominent amber in it. luckily, the amber takes over and smells lovely, and there is just a slight smoky-sweetness in the background of dragon's blood.

    Bess

    i was excited to try this because i love queen elizabeth, and that made me curious. i can't pick out many notes in this, but i can smell the grape mostly. it's more like sparkling grape juice than anything else. then there is something almost smoky-herbal in the background. perhaps it's the rosemary? it's not really what i think of rosemary as smelling like, but it's all i can think of. this is too sweet for me and that smoky note makes it smell weirdly off on my skin, so i don't think i'll be keeping this one.

    The Cracked Bell

    this is a beautiful dark, warm scent. i get a slightly floral-herbal musk from it...seems kind of like red musk, but i am not sure. i sense the slight herbal bite (which i guess is the metallic tang?) and it really adds to the incensy musk. looove this one and now i must find a bottle.

    House of Night

    in the imp it smells very herbal, once it fades it's a beautiful, slightly mossy floral. i swear i smell tobacco or something that reminds me of it in this, but i'm not sure what it is. i like this a lot better than i thought i would.

    Bewitched

    berries are hit or miss for me, but bewitched is thankfully a hit! i mostly get musk and berries-i can't really pick out any other notes, but it is musky-sweet and smells divine!

    Luna

    this smells like a white creamy floral on me. i was thinking jasmine, but now that i've seen ylang ylang mentioned in the reviews, that must be it, or a combination of the two. jasmine, honeysuckle and ylang ylang always smell generically floral on me, so this one doesn't really do much for me. this was the first celestial i've tried, i was so excited! alas, it's not really a 'me' scent.

    Blood Pearl

    hm. i have tested this twice and am on the fence about it. it does evoke the memory of black pearl, but since i love black pearl so much this one doesn't really compare for me. it does smell good, but red musk sometimes gives off a hippy smell, and this is one of the scents where it does. hm. i have tested this twice and am on the fence about it. it does evoke the memory of black pearl, but it's less floral and a bit spicy and more subtle. since i am a black pearl lover, this one doesn't really compare for me. it does smell good, but red musk sometimes gives off a hippy smell, and this is one of the scents where it does.

    Crossroads

    this has jasmine or honeysuckle in it i think (whidh i dislike), because for most of the beginning it's all i can smell. after it fades a bit the mossiness comes out more and it becomes more subtle. it's just kind of 'eh' on me so i will be swapping this one.

    Midwinter's Eve

    i get the plummy berry fruits from this and the florals are in the background. it reminds me of bordello, but without the wine and deepness to it that bordello has. it's a very pretty scent, but i am not into wearing the fruit scents so much. i was hoping the florals would be more prominent on me.

    Ephemera

    this is really pretty, at first. i think the calla lily and tea rose come out most on my skin. i dont sense the autumn leaves at all, and i am not even sure about the other notes. this turns to a shampoo-y scent on me, similar to that 'clean' perfume they have at sephora. so i get a hint of aquatics, or perhaps it is the lily, i'm not sure. not really me so i'll probably swap this.

    Rose Red

    this smells like roses and leaves and at the very beginning, i get the tinsiest bit of earth/dirt coming through, though not like zombi or anything. my skin seems to eat this right up though, within half an hour it has faded a lot. ADDED Nov. 2: i got a sniffie of this from someone. it's a nice crisp rose scent with a touch of greenery from the stem. simple and understated and pretty. i may have to track down more of this.

    The Star

    whoa this is a really interesting scent! i smell limes and something else from the imp, but on my skin it turns to citrusy-tea scent with vanilla/cake. i love this one, it's one of the more foody scents that works on me.

    Prague

    damnit, this smells really good now that's faded...lilies + something else familiar that i can't put my finger on... when it's first on it's a strong fruity smell, like a scented doll-strawberry shortcake, but not strawberries... something sort of citrus-peachy that i can't place. not bad necessarily, just not really me.

    Lust

    this kind of reminds me of sin, but i like sin better i think. even though they both have patchouli, which i don't generally like, the patchouli seems more prominent in this, and i am getting a hippie-headshop feel from this scent. when it fades it smells much sexier and less-patchouli to me, but i'm not sure i want to do all that waiting for it to smell good.

    Enraged Bunny Musk

    i don't get the lemon that many people seem to have gotten from this. it does have a bit of a sharpness to it. i think i mostly smell the clover, white musk and cotton blossom. i am not a big fan of the cotton blossom scent because it's too baby-powdery, but once it fades into the background, this is becomes a soft, pretty scent.

    Enraged Orangutan Musk

    this smells like ambery musk on me- the musk is a bit strong at first, but once it calms down it melds with my skin and smells warm and golden and beautiful. definitely a keeper.
