    Ulalume

    I got this as a freebie and initially I didn't like the smell in the imp. I came here to read the description and notes and decided it wasn't something I'd like at all. I tried it again a few days later and found a strange attraction to it. It smelled woody with a hint of something mossy but altogether it was feminine and sparkly. It's a very comforting scent. I decided I liked to wear this after showering when I've had a emotionally/mentally tough day. I'm waiting for a big bottle of it as I type, but I will be saving it for the colder months.

    Lady Una

    Honey musk, green tea leaf, blackberry leaf, vanilla bean, and fae spices. This scent makes me want to lay on a blanket on the grass and watch the clouds on a sunny day. I love honey scents, and this sparkles with the addition of the blackberry and "fae spices". It reminds me of YSL In Love Again which always smelled like blackberry + grapefruit. Lady Una is blended so well and smells beautiful on my skin. The only negative is that it doesn't have all-day staying power.

    Bengal

    A sultry and unruly blend that emulates the ambient scent of the markets in ancient Bengal: skin musk with honey, peppers, clove, cinnamon bark and ginger. I got this as an imp when I purchased .5 ml bottles of Blood Kiss and Lady Una. I liked it more than anything that came in the box. It smells like a thieves oil recipe I made last year to fend off flu/colds. It's spicy with cloves/cinnamon notes, mellowed out with the sweetness of honey, which I truly love. I love putting this on after a shower and just lying in bed, reading or listening to music. I've gotten a lot of compliments on this perfume at work--from men too. It works well with my chemistry so I bought a whole bottle. Definitely my #1 scent. ETA 8/19/10: The cinnamon irritates my skin now. And it gets plasticky on the dry down. I'm so sad about this.

    I'm new (hi) and I'm not a pro at describing scents as eloquently as most of you but I'll throw in my two cents in my own way. I bought a full bottle of this after reading the reviews because I love the smell of honey. It definitely has that honey smell right out of the bottle but on my skin, I noticed the "skin smell" everyone is talking about...and I narrowed it down. (brace yourselves) It smells like armpit!! Clean armpit but it's the same smell. It really makes me think of sex right out of the shower. I can't stop sniffing my wrist, this juice is delicious and addictive. It's a sweet/clean/kinda dirty/sexy scent.
