    Nude Woman Reclining

    In the bottle, this is similar to Bearded Lady, only with a darker note and not as powdery. On my skin, much the same as Bearded Lady, a delicate floral only with a lot more depth due to the galbanum and ambrette seed, and no powder. Like, a Bearded Man, more like.

    Nymphia

    In the bottle, this is all coconut, lavender, and mango. And it's kinda triggering my gag reflex. Light application. On my skin, mango and coconut and apple and sugar. Not nearly as gag inducing on my skin, but still not my thing.

    Nikephoros

    In the bottle, this is WHY HELO THAR OAKMOSS AND GALBANUM. Very dark, with maybe a hint of fruit trying to break free underneath. On my skin, much the same, though the orange is punching its way through. Oh, and the mint. Which is an... interesting scent, to say the least.

    Kytherian

    Kytherian starts out as plum, grapefruit, and orchid in the bottle, very bright, very fruity. On my skin, the same plum-grapefruit-orchid combo. Hmm. I like. This may end up being a keeper.

    Kypris

    In the bottle, I'm getting a lovely, almost glowing cherry-vanilla-almond scent. Mmm. Now here's hoping the rest of it doesn't kill the blend for me. On my skin, cherry almond, and just absolutely beautiful. Please, don't turn on me... Ack, the lemon's starting to peek through. Don't do that! Sadly, for me, the lemon amps, which is just not my thing.

    Aphrogenes

    In the bottle, I'm getting orris root and coconut. Coconut is one of my DEATH notes, so this will probably not end well. On my skin, all coconut, all the time. Not betting on seeing too many changes to this, because my skin amps the fuck out of coconut. So, if you amp coconut, this may be all you get out of the blend.

    Arachne of Lydia

    In the imp, I'm getting dark black currant and clove. On my skin, mostly black currant, and kinda manly. Hrm. That edges off quick, though, and it's a gentle, clovey scent with and undercurrent of currants (lulz), very dusky purple. Hrm. May need to seek out a bottle of this.

    The Phoenix in Spring

    In the imp, this is light, dandelion and cherry blossomesque florals, and grasses. On my skin, watery florals, and maybe a touch of myrrh? We'll see what it does. Too grassy sweet for me, sadly.

    Großvater Tanz

    In the imp, this is dust, nutty baked goods. On my skin, the dustiness and an inexplicable orange note supah amps. Huh. We'll see what happens. Too nutty/dusty for me.

    Valse Finale et Apotheose

    In the imp, I'm getting honeyed apples, with just a touch of mint, possibly enough to, you know, not kill a blend like it usually does. On my skin, appley honey and a breath of mint. Delicate, and barring any changes, wonderful. Aaand it's gone.

    Bob Cratchit's Hearth

    In the imp, this is super fruity. On my skin, though? A smoky fireplace and plum cobbler. Absolutely spectacular. Have to find a bottle of this.

    The Spanish Dance

    In the bottle, this is chocolate and orange blossom: very similar to Vice, for me. On my skin, the orange blossom amps and whacks down the pomegranate and cocoa, save for a faint whisper. Dammit. This is not going to end well.

    A World of Fools

    Mmmm. Dark spicy foodie, what's probably the figgy pudding. I like. On my skin, much the same.

    The Little Wooden Doll

    Rose and strong wood in the imp, the same on my skin.
  15. Venneh

    The Witch's Repast

    Kvass, honey-drizzled bread, roasted meat, and wine. In the imp, I'm getting the honey-drizzled bread and wine, and a bit of smoke. On my skin, honey bread and wine. Hmmm.

    Madonna

    In the imp, I'm getting pomegranate, hyssop, and florals. On my skin, much the same. We'll see where this goes.
  17. In the bottle, this is a lovely gingerbread with a bit of musk and maybe a bit of rum. On my skin, it's musky, spicy gingerbread. Mmm. Definitely a keeper.

    Hairy Toad Lily

    Super sweet and tart, like floral sweet tarts in the imp. On my skin, it's a little less intense, and the lily comes out more. We'll see what this does.

    Red Lace

    Got to try this cause of a small leak that happened en route, a few drops, nothing much. In the bottle, I'm getting the sandalwood, the tobacco, and the vanilla cream cotton sugar type notes. And bizzarely enough, this smells like a darker, redder L'Estate to me. oO. On my skin, the tobacco comes back with a vengeance, and a dusty pomegranate and raspberry with it. The Lace base lurks underneath.

    Gingerbread Poppet Soap

    This is definitely pure gingerbread all the way, and I can still smell it after I'm down showering, which is rare. Wonderful soap, definitely glad I caught a backup. A quick heads up: if your skin is sensitive, then hold off using it a bit; I tried a first run when my skin was a little on the sensitive, raw side, and it caused a bit of stinging, which I've never had happen with any other soap. My skin's back to normal, now, though, and it's just fine.

    Cranberry Cookie Bark Bath Oil

    Absolutely amazing. Both kind of chocolate, cranberry, and cookies. So good. Need another bottle for a backup, as I slather myself in this.

    Urania

    Very florally in the imp. On my skin, I'm getting the moonflower, iris, and white musk, though the jasmine and benzoin and moss and ozone are starting to rise to the top quickly.
  23. Venneh

    Terpsichore

    Florally citrus in the imp. A bit spicy florally citrus on my skin.
  24. Venneh

    Empyreal Mist

    Crisp florals in the imp. On my skin, a sharper floral, can't quite place it, a bit watery, too.
  25. Venneh

    Bleeding Heart

    Definitely a light, feminine, watery floral. Very perfumy, very florally. Not quite my thing.
