Ack! Painfully sweet with a lingering, obnoxious lemon verbena note. Nothing sensual about this to me. This doesn't ring of Lolita... more like Tammy Faye Baker. Saccharine overload!

Sweet, earthy, but nothing special. I'm not a fan of dragon's blood so this may explain my dislike of Tintagel, because anything with dragon's blood smells like cheap candy to me. In the bottle it smells much more interesting, but once on it just turned into a somewhat green dragon's blood.

Sweet, a bit musky, and very spicy... like it should be. Doesn't last very long, and it is quite strong and doesn't spread much after being applied to the skin. However, it's a cheerful, bold smell and great to use in the wintertime, when one might be suffering from cabin fever and could use a pick-me-up. I think I'll keep this one.

Very thick, very heavy, very sexy! Right now it hurts my nose a bit, but I've been driving around all day in dust and dirt and may just be sensitive in general. The musk is divine, and I don't know what opium smells like (ah, innocence!) but whatever it is, it can't be too bad since Debauchery is a great blend. Almost reminds me of black cherry for some reason... It lasts a lot longer than some other blends. I like it, but not really a "me" scent.

Mmm... lovely and gentle! It turns a bit soapy on me, not sure what does that but it happens a lot with these light, floral scents. VERY romantic and sweet. I don't know what tonka bean and sweet pea smell like as notes, but whatever Beth put in this created an enchanting scent. I know this would be amazing on someone with the right chemistry!

Mmmm... absolutely divine! Reminds me a lot of Hunger. Sweet like Hunger, with a similar bite. Undeniably sexy! The red patchouli is so irresistable, and the orange blossom is so sweet and juicy that you'll just want to chew your own skin. But, although I love it, I don't love it as much as Hunger so I'll stick with that. Although by name ravenous would be the next level of hunger, I'd say Hunger is the more affective of the blends.

Sort of a spicy floral... soft and earthy. Bit too floral for my taste, but lovely nonetheless. I'm not sure what creates that somewhat sweet and citrus-y element to it... maybe the orange blossom? A very unique scent. I can't really place any of the ingredients individually but it makes a lovely perfume.

Yowza! Serious musk and patchouli. This is such a dry scent, and a bit harsh. All I can detect is the patchouli and musk. I wouldn't be able to wear it, nor would I want anyone around me to. Bone dry, a old desert dry, Janeane Garofalo dry. This stuff doesn't mess around.

I was going to go as a Djinn, but it didn't work out. So I'll be going as a Gypsy fortune teller/witch. I have a killer black wig, vintage brown boots, layered skirts, lots of jingle-jangles and jewelry to drape about, and of course hoop earrings and a bandana/headscarf. I painted my nails bright sparkly purple tonight and am getting so excited! I hope everyone posts pictures. I know I will! I'll wear my witchy Scherezade and maybe some Morocco underneath. All this week though I've been using my Jack lotion... mmmm...

Very dark scent. Hard, somewhat dirty. I don't like it, since it's a bit serious and has no sensuality to it. Fun to sniff, as pretty much all of Beth's blends are, but not a perfume for me. Heavy florals and sandalwood, thats The Raven on me.

Lovely! The peach and amber really go well together. Makes for a perfect summer or spring perfume. Sweet and light, but with the sandalwood it somehow stays fairly grounded and spicy. Very stunning scent! A little too sweet for my personal tastes as a perfume, but for those looking for something sweet but not *too* sweet, try Tamora. It's delicious and unique.

Mmmm... it's pleasant to sniff... but a little too fluffy for me. Reminds me of kittens. Amber is barely noticable in this one for me, however I am detecting some sort of floral in this, and I'm not sure I like it. Something sweet, too. Nothing ferocious about this scent to me at all. The Lion should be called The Wet-Nosed Kitten. I do like the smell, but not as something to wear as a perfume.

Boring, soapy, non-descript. Lightly floral, nothing spicy for me. Fades quick. Did I get a decant that was somehow corrupted or something? I have no idea! I had such high hopes for this one... definately do not like.

A truly fae nectar! Dragon’s blood resin and honeyed vanilla. Wow, lovely! Smells so much like Hunger, which I ADORE, but seems simpler. This is the only perfume I've ever liked, or considered wearing, that has dragon's blood in it. It's usually too fruity and sweet for my taste. This, however, is nice but if I wanted to wear a vanilla scent I'd go for Hunger. Dragon's Blood is very sweet, edible and last a long time. Reminds me of warm cookies! Thanks so much turbojenn for the gift!

Mmmm... sweet, innocent smelling. Applied, the amber comes out and warms it up, and gives it a more earthy feel. For some reason this scent doesn't last long on me at all. It seems to just seep into my skin, and doesn't radiate from me at all, which is something I look for in a perfume. It's nice... but I'm just not crazy about it.

On first sniff, a very strong scent; I'm going to guess it's the almond. Once it dries, however, it is much more pleasant to stick your nose into and get a good inhalation. It reminded me a bit of spiced rum, and I thought it may be a relative of Al-Shairan. Must be the cinnamon. I don't know what heliotrope smells like, but whatever it is can't be all bad since this blend as a whole really works out nicely. Eclipse is also slightly woody... not sure why. Could be me. It's complex, would work on guys, and not too sweet despite the vanilla. I like it, however I don't think I'd wear it.

Good lord, this is sexy! I'm usually afraid to try vanilla scents but this one was paired with a good floral and they even out so nicely. The orange blossom gives the vanilla a lightness. So charming! A very edible scent. So glad I got this one! Beth, you rock!!

Delicious! Upon first sniffing, it immediately reminded me of this wonderful (if I do say so myself), homemade Halloween spiced cider I make. It has spiced rum, lots of it, and when drunk warm is simply the most delicious thing your mouth has ever known. It has cinnamon and clove, as does Al-Shairan. This perfume is divine! I'd say it is a good Halloween/Samhain scent as well. The orange and peach keep this from becoming too "serious", but it is an earthy, sexy scent. Sweet, spicy, edible! I'm tempted to give my arm a nip when sniffing this one...

Meh. Reminds me of mall perfume or soap, very floral and invasive to the nose. Ylang ylang is one of those florals I can't wear, like jasmine which smells very similar to me. This smells generic and commercial, probably because I've been forever ruined by the Macy's makeup and perfume department, and associate these types of florals with terrible women with bad taste. I use to run through that department with my nose plugged, not hiding my disgust one bit. Chanel, Elizabeth Arden, Clinque? Bleck! Loralei isn't that wretched, of course. Nonetheless I can't wear it.

A little bit of amber, but more of the musk and myrrh. Very dark and brooding. Almost woodsy. Reminds me of Haunted a bit. Don't really like this one. I'd say more of a masculine scent.

Reminds me a lot of Umbra, but the lemon verbena distinguishes it. Cedar is something I don't like to wear as a perfume so be sure you enjoy wearing that smell. This is a very woody smell, a bit green, and lightly patchouli. Not a fan, really. More of a masculine scent as well.

Hmm... more of a masculine scent I'd say. Woody, a little green (I don't know why that is, the vetiver?). It does wear off fast though, at least on me. I'm not a fan, although it is unique. Reminds me of cedar mostly. I could not detect any cinnamon at all so cinnamon fans- beware! But hey, everyone has different chemisty so who knows...

Smells like cedar, burnt up to ashes and sitting in a tandorri oven. It has a pleasant dry smell, mostly woody, but nothing I'd wear. Reminds me a bit of Sri Lanka. Very dry, smokey, burnt. I was going to go as a Djinn for Halloween, too, and wanted this perfume to work! Oh well...

I'm not sure what note makes this sweet like candy but I really don't like it. It reminds me of candy sitting in the car on the ground, getting hot, drippy and dirty and stinkin' up the car. And as much as "hot, drippy and dirty" sounds like a good thing, I don't mean it in the good way! The musk or myrrh doesn't help either. Not sure what went wrong with this one. Wasn't fond of it sniffing from the bottle, either. I *really* wanted a perfume called Lust, too!

Jabberwocky is unlike anything I've smelled before. It almost smelled like it had vanilla at first, but the pine and orange create this sweetness that might be mistaken for that. Eucalyptis is something I could never wear but Jabberwocky makes it somehow more wearable. Playful, a spring and summertime scent for sure. Light, clean, and unique. Would be a nice scent for a diffuser but I couldn't wear it as a perfume personally.
