I approve. Really silky, good lather, same wonderful dark spicy honey scent as in the bath oil, and feels great on my skin. Yet another soap to add to the must-buy list.

I'm getting spicy smoky wood, with a bit of cologne. This just isn't for me, sadly, and not what I want my room to smell like.

I get cinnamon and florals in the imp, somewhere; on my skin, it's cinnamon and something greenish. Not quite sure.

Getting violet, iris, and dark musk in the imp, vaguely reminiscent of the Velvets for me. On my skin, it's more violet and iris than it is the dark musk like in Velvets, we'll see what it does.

I'm getting the peach, sandalwood, and osthmanthus in the imp, we'll see what it does. On my skin, it's peach and osthmanthus. We'll see what this does.

In the imp, I'm getting mint and dirt. ...Well. This should be interesting. On my skin, this is mint and wet dirt. I don't think this is gonna turn out well. Yeah, gonna pass on this.

Bold, bright mandarin paired with the sweet, sensual earthiness of fig. Orange and fig, really sweet and really interesting, both in the imp and on my skin. I likes.

So, so amazing. On me, this is dark, spicy, vaguely fruity/floral honey, and is absolutely wonderful. Need to tack on a bottle of this with the next order...

This is amazing. Smells like aged Snake Oil, goes on silky smooth, absolutely wonderful. Definitely getting a full bar.

'05 Blend: In the bottle, this smells like butterscotch schnapps. Oh, yum. On my skin, butterscotch booze cookies. I'm thinking this is gonna be going onto a second skin test. Second skin tests confirms that I like it, and hey, a bottle just went up on eBay, so away we go!

I'm getting white tea, ginger and grapefruit in the imp. On my skin, I'm getting the white tea and ginger, we'll see what this does. Eh, with the citrus, it's not quite for me.

In the imp, I'm getting a vanilla creamish sort of scent, vaguely reminiscent of Gothabilly. On my skin, it's very quickly fading cream.

In the imp, I'm getting the pomegranate, plum, raspberry, and a hint of the black pepper. On my skin, I'm getting rose, with fruits and pepper waaaaay underneath. ...Oh, come on! Seriously?!

In the decant, I'm getting cake batter, sugar, and cinnamon, almost like a coffee cake. On my skin, it's mostly cinnamon sugar, with a bit of the coffee cake underneath; we'll see how this goes. Becomes more cake battery-sugary with a hint of cinnamon underneath. Definitely getting a second test.

Oh, wow. Just got my sample of this today, and it is AMAZING. Champagne and vanilla orchid and magnolia and just wonderful. BRB, gonna roll around in this a bit. ~

Getting lemon from this. Bwuh?

Pure dragon's blood in the imp, which is expected. On my skin, the same; pure dragon's blood. Defintely going onto a second full skin test.

I'm definitely getting wax and smoke, eager to see how this is on me. On my skin, really faint wax and smoke, please don't let this fail on me, please. Well, either this or Enchanted Wood Florist got me a compliment, so, onto a second test it goes! Still not quite sure of this on the second test, may have to do with the goddamned heat. Going to hold it for a few weeks and try it out again.

In the decant, I'm getting florals, sap, and a bit of green, a cousin of Fairy Market, which is part of why I was interested. On my skin, it's mostly flowers and sap, we'll see how this goes. Seems good, and either this or Lights of Men's Lives got me a compliment, so we'll move it on to a second test tomorrow morning and see how it goes. On the second skin test, it's floral and sap, and I think I'm going to have to deathmatch this against Fairy Market to determine whether or not I'm keeping it.

In the decant, I think I'm getting the fig and the orange blossom honey; a very interesting combo. On my skin, it's orange blossom honey. ...Damnit. I don't think I'm going to be getting much else out of this, barring a major turnaround.

I'm getting the peach-neroli-honey, smells like the Gaoler's Daughter in the bottle. On my skin, I'm getting peach and neroli and patchouli. Prolly not going to turn out well. Pretty much the Gaoler's Daughter + patchouli, not appealing for me.

In the bottle, I'm getting pine and either vanilla or skin musk. Hm. On my skin, it's pine and patchouli. Hrm. Ends up drying down to a smoky skin musk vanilla honey, but it takes a few hours to get to that stage, and by the time it does, it's very faint. If I could just get rid of that initial stage, this would be wonderful.

In the bottle, this is jasmine and honey. Prolly not going to turn out well. On my skin, it's pretty much JASMINE!!! and honey. Urgh.

I'm definitely getting straightup honey in the bottle. On my skin, pretty much HONEY!!! with a hint of medicinal note coming out. We'll see what happens. Medicinal honey. Eh.

In the bottle, this is a faint greenish scent. On my skin, it's mostly that sharper green scent with a bit of honey wafting around underneath. We'll see how this goes. Ends up mellowing into... chamomile? oO I've got Door, so I'm fine there.
