This is a really sweet, almost sugary floral in the imp, can't pick out specific notes, but mmm. On my skin, it's sugary florals, with goldish incense and grass coming out, we'll see if anything happens from here. Needs a fuller skin test for me to decide whether or not it's for me. On the full skin test, I'm getting a balance between dewy grass and sugary florals and this golden edge to everything, just absolutely ethereal and wonderful. Definitely getting added to the bottle list.

Tried this before bed last night; ended up being lavender and lemongrass in the imp, which turned into Fruit Loops on my skin, and then faded within ten minutes because of the lavender. Didn't really seem to affect the way I normally sleep, so I'm gonna pass on this one.

I tried a tester of this, I remember really liking like, we'll see if it holds up on further testing. In the bottle, this seems like if Pepper grew up and got a lot more... mature, shall we say. Getting a combination of the ginger, spices, and the musk. On my skin, it's really, really sharp, and the same ginger/spice/musk combo. Ends up fading quickly, though.

In the bottle, I'm getting what I'm pretty sure is the the vanilla, honey, and the ginger. On my skin, it's seeming pretty much like the ginger, pepper, and the vanilla and honey remaining pretty deep underneath. We'll see what happens. Ends up being a spicy ginger/pepper citrus scent, not really what I'm looking for.

Out of all the scents I'm decanting out for my Good Omens circle, this is the one I want most desperately to work. In the bottle, I'm getting leather, wood, and I think honey and berries. If this goes right, this could be wonderful. On my skin, I'm getting leather, wood, and honey. Fingers crossed that this keeps it up. Ends up being a really sweet leather with honey and berries, a definite relative for Liz, and a definite keeper. Second full skin test to make sure I like it. Leather and wood and a honey/berry undernote, a very dommish and sexy sort of scent.

In the bottle, I'm getting very perfumy florals and herbs. On my skin, Jasmine Cottage is really herby and soapy, unfortunately, not a good sign for what might come. We'll see what happens. Ends up being a perfumy herbal floral, similar to Allison Gross. Not anything that works for me.

In the bottle, I'm getting the lilac and white musk aspects of this amping, almost to the point of powder. On my skin, Famine is that lilac and white musk with the tea note deepening it a bit. Hrm. We'll see what he does. Ends up amping into a powdery floral musk, and then away quickly after that, sadly. Not quite for me.

In the bottle, this smells very similar to Aziraphale, only with a tobacco note. On my skin, the woodsy cologne aspect is amping again, with the tobacco also being prominent, having a feeling that this'll be going the same way as Aziraphale on me. Tobacco and wood cologne here, not for me.

About to start decanting these boys; Aziraphale's already on the one wrist, and Crowley's gonna be on the other. In the bottle, I'm definitely getting red musk, wood, and patchouli. On my skin, it's red musk and patchouli first and foremost, we'll see if there's any changes. Ends up being red musk and leather and mahogany and patchouli, vaguely reminiscent of Krampus and Now Winter Nights Enlarge, but not anything I particularly need. Going to pass on this for now.

About to start decanting these boys, Aziraphale's on one wrist and Crowley's gonna be on the other soon. In the bottle, I'm definitely getting the woods and dusty books aspect of this. On my skin, this is woods and dusty books first and foremost. We'll see if this changes at all. Ends up being a woodsy musky cologne on me, pretty unisex and perfumy, not really for me.

In the imp, I'm getting tea and honey with a strong KICK of wasabi. Light application. Tea and wasabi, and phew, what a kick. We'll see what this does. Ends up being tea + wasabi, no honey in sight, have to get this off.

WHY HELO THAR VETIVER AND CIVET AND ANISE. WE MEET AGAIN. Light application because of the above. On my skin, it's vetiver and mosses and anise. Will this end well? Probably not, but I'll still keep it on until I can't take it. ...Well, that didn't take long. Had to get it off because it was making my nose burn.

In the imp, I'm getting dirt and moss, no sign of roses. Not having good feelings about this, therefore, light application. On my skin, it's dirt and wet moss. Not really something I want to smell like. We'll see if the roses come out to balance it at all. Nope, dirt and mosses and please get it the hell off of me now.

In the imp here, I'm getting honey and cognac, which hopefully won't be too bad. On my skin, I'm getting myrrh and red patchouli with the honey and dark skin musk underneath. And it's quite interesting. We'll see what happens. A really neat scent, because the honey mellows out the normally sharper myrrh and red patchouli, and I'm not entirely sure what's up with the dark skin musk. Either way, this one is in the qualifying rounds for a full skin test. On the full skin test, I'm getting a really neat scent, honey, myrrh, red patchouli with the dark skin musk and cognac. We'll see how this goes, but I'm inclined to say this might be a bottle. Definitely a cousin to Smut, and bottle worthy.

Getting coconut meat and shea butter straight out of the gate on the imp for this, which I am betting will foretell DOOM AND DESPAIR AND OTHER D WORDS. Light application because of this. On my skin, I'm getting shea butter and a bit of coconut, it's not doing anything funky just yet, which is good. But I've got my eyes on this blend. And wow, that didn't take long to go to rancidness on me. Argh. Stupid coconut meat interplaying with the shea butter.

In the imp, I'm getting the melon and the mint and the lime and lemon and grape, which makes for a very ...interesting scent. Light applicaiton. On my skin, it's a bizzare combination of melon, mint, and what I'm pretty sure is grape. Erm. We'll keep an eye on this one. My skin chemistry does far too weird things with this for it to be wearable for me. Going to pass for now.

I'm getting bright fruits, and a hint of flowers in the imp, kind of similar to Autumn Moon of the Mirror Stand. On my skin, the pineapple's starting to amp and take this... interesting places. We'll see what happens The pineapple fades quickly, though, and I'm getting this beautiful golden scent that's actually very reminiscent of L'Estate for me. oO Definitely getting the full skin test. On the full skin test, I'm getting the similarity to L'Estate almost straight off the bat, and the pineapple isn't there nearly as much. This may be becoming a bottle very quickly. However, it fades to nothing pretty quickly, and the seltzer and pineapple come out a bit more on the full skin test, so I think I'm gonna pass on this one.

Why hello thar, rose and lily! You're pretty much the same on my skin! And I'm not expecting too much difference in the drydown, either! Ends up being a soft powdery floral, generic, and not what I'm into. Pass.

A raven-haired Fairy Queen of Ireland. One of her eternal duties dictates that she must hold a midnight court every season and hear the pleas of married Irishwomen. The court serves only to determine whether or not husbands are adequately serving their wife’s sexual needs. A judicious yet powerfully sensual blend, a mingling of justice and sexuality: sage, sweet pea, bold pale musk and warm tonka. In the imp, I'm getting a really sweet, pale scent, the only note I can really pick out is the sage lying underneath all the sweetness. On my skin, I'm getting what I think is the sweet pea and the sage and maybe the musk and the tonka. We'll see how this goes. Ends up fading to light nothingness pretty quick. Gonna pass on this one.

In the imp, this is a really, really sweet scent; exactly where this is coming from, I'm not quite sure. On my skin, it's turning into a really sweet, spicy sort of scent, almost like honey. Hrm. This seems to be going well. It's really warm and sweet and spicy, this is going to warrant a fuller test, and possibly a death match against Mr. Jacquel, which is a similar scent to my nose (which makes sense, if you know American Gods). On the full skin test, I'm still getting that sweet, warm spicy scent that deepens out the more its on my skin. Will depend on how exactly this turns out, but I'm betting this one will be a bottle, along with a death match against Mr. Jacquel. Compared to Mr. Jacquel, this is a lighter, higher-pitched scent, so I'll be passing on the a bottle for this.

In the imp, I'm getting a really super sweet fruity floral. It's the same on my skin, and almost borderline bubblegum. We'll see what happens here. Ends up being a neat bright peach/grape combo, going to give this a fuller skin test. On the full skin test, I'm still getting that sweet fruity floral at first, only a lot stronger. It's definitely going to be a bottle.

An epithet of the Morrigan, crow-winged Celtic goddess of war, strife and fertility. Adoration of this Goddess is expressed both through the ecstasy of battle lust and the ecstasy of sexual regeneration. Black orchid, apple blossom, meadowsweet, and rue over Irish moss, hawthorn and red clover. In the imp, I'm getting apple and orchid, this could be really interesting. On my skin, it's pretty much the same, and I think the red clover might be doing a honeyish turn on me. Thinking this may go straight on to a second full skin test. Except for the part where it fades to moss and herbs in five minutes. Ugh. Going to pass on this one too.

In the imp, I'm definitely getting the booze and the dandelion, it's almost like mead. On my skin, it's pretty much dandelions and booze, with the former amping. We'll see what happens here. It's coming out as a really sweet booze scent, going to give this a fuller skin test at a later date. On the second skin test, this is still very much the floral booze scent. It turns into something that has this vaguely metallic/shampooish scent on the full skin test, but light application might keep that floral booze, so I'll keep the imp, but I won't go for the bottle.

Someone further up thread compared this to nail polish, and that's what I'm getting in the imp. On my skin, it's pretty much the same at first. Hrm. Blossoms into a hot, dusty cologne. Yep, gonna pass on this one.

In the imp, I'm getting wood, herbs, and citrus. Not an initially good start. On my skin, the wood and herbs are definitely amping. We'll see what happens here. Straight forward woods and herbs, ends up fading quickly on my skin. Not for me.
