    Azathoth

    This is really gorgeous. Wet it smells very vetiver (which smells like myrrh to me too), so if you don't like it (why not?) then might not be a fan like everyone else has said. I cannot stop sniffing myself, the more it dries on me, the sweeter/softer it gets and the more amber notes I smell. Even though it starts off quite masculine, on me it doesn't feel that way. I got this in an imp and mgiht actually consider getting a big bottle of this when it runs out!!

    The Lion

    This is so gorgeous - I didn't think I'd like the cinnamon but it dries to be more subtle and more grassy (hot dry grass) than cinnamon to me. Another scent I could wear and feel like 'me' in it.

    Morocco

    Having been to Morocco itself, I can't say that this smells anything like the place, but its a lovely scent. Very sweet and incensy. Definitley some vanilla in there somewhere or tonka perhaps. I thought that i would want to get a 5ml bottle of this but I definitely don't like it as much as Lady Una which I got at the same time... Yes THATS it... its a bit like those musky scents. definitely. Won't be getting a big bottle of it.

    Lady Una

    This is now my new favourite scent. I am so glad I went for it! I'm a big fan of Lush's 'Karma' and have been trying to find a scent that I love/will love as much as that as I've been using it now for 10 years or so. Lady Una is warm and spicy and sweet and gentle. Its very blackcurranty for me and with the honey and vanilla about equal to each other. It smells so great on mys kin i can't stop sniffing myself!! If I could buy a huge bottle I would!

    Scent Recs based on your PERSONALITY!

    Thank you so much Little Bird!! I've tried voodoo before i think in an imp and i remember it being very strong - i think myrrhy smell? or at least it was too strong for me. I'm liking the sound of persephone, but won't know till I try. I want to order a bunch of imps to try to find a new smell. Reading ravenous and hunger makes me think YES!!! really lovely. Glad you like the art!

    Scent Recs based on your PERSONALITY!

    Hey ladies - I'm a bit new too, was lurking about a year ago and nwo i figure i want to join in!! I have snake oil, but don't like it much - its too powdery on me, but its an old bottle (about a year i think), so that could be the reason. So, personality. Well, it can only be my own view of my personality as someone else might describe me as different!! But i'm going on what other people say too. I'll start by saying I'm an artist - i'm 34 and paint fantasy and horror art and also portraits and animals. I would say i'm a very opinionated person - i'm not the sort who will sit listening to people debate and not join in - i always have something to say. I'm very passionate. I'm extremely physical - have a very high libido (causes me no end of trouble as I can't find a man to match it!). I've been single six months and for the first time in YEARS i've felt happy about not wanting to go out with anyone whereas before I was always thinking about meeting someone special. Before my previous relationship (which lasted 18 months) i was single for five years - have been single in my life for more years than in relationships. After the last guy its not any surprise i'm not in a rush to get into the next (he was a bullying sociopathic control freak). The kind of men i like are big, broad, full of laughter and twinkling eyes. I have a huge appetite for life. I'm very silly with a strong sense of the ridiculous. I absolutely LOVE dancing (i'm a belly dancer in my spare time). I have a very very keen sense of smell - i can always smell things others can't. I don't drink much - but when i do, cocktails are the alcohol of choice. I'm about five eight tall, curvaceous and dark haired and fair skinned and blue eyes. Thats me there in the pic (doesn't tell you much i know). I smile alot. You might get more idea of waht i'm like by looking at my piccies www.artbymanon.com Oh yeah, and my 'go to' perfume for years has been Karma from Lush. I LOVE it. So anything along those lines would be great to recommend. I am just in heaven reading all the descriptions in here!! I burst into tears when i read the description for the last unicorn - soo magical. I'm a completely soppy romantic...

    Snake Oil

    Just put this on and it now smells of talcum powder. Not sexy. BOOO!!! Definitely powdery and incensey - its not got that thing i'm looking for. I think my pot is about a year old. Might have gone off a bit? doesn't smell off, but maybe its not singing like it used to?
  8. WHERE is the lovecraft stuff!?
  9. If any of you guys are losing your sex drive and happen to be on the contraceptive pill - stop taking it NOW!! I tried again after a five year break to go on the pill again (it killed my sex drive and made me depressed last time i tried) and it polished off my considerably rampant sex drive into the second blister pack of pills. By the end of that pack I threw away the rest and have after seven days welcomed my sex drive back! Its not just the sex drive that went either - it was all the bodily functions that occurred when one is meant to ge tturned on too that went. NO fun at all!! yeah, condoms are no fun, but I'd ratehr those than be dead sexually. Really scary stuff - but really annoying too, wish they didn't do this to me! I have had good responses to Velvet - really 'urrghh' reactions to it! I'm fancying a go at Hunger... anyone any tips on taht one? Oh and HELLOOO, i'm new!!
