OK, I think I have to test this another day, it's going pouf right to incense on me, then vanishing. We'll come back to the Library another day then, it smells lovely, for a minute...

so, patience being a virtue that I am working on, I gave this about a week and it's turned into a very nice round incense scent. Actually nice for sleeping in, picking the kids up from school and not scaring the other parents, etc. I like this one a lot and will wear the heck out of it.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! So full of win, and who knows what else, I can't tell, but this is very rich, very lush, very Caterpillar to me.

Not for the faint of heart, but so good for the rest of us.

Possibly my favorite Weenie this year.

this is like Snake Oil and The Night Raven got married, and they had a baby but it could also have been fathered by Lot and His Daughters, stand by for DNA results...

So very good, red musky, incensey, very very good.

2012 Version : This is very heavy and dark, in the Smokey Moon/Schwartzer Mon family however there is something in it that really really strongly (and I like blends that are considered "boy" or "either") Gentleman's Scent to me, so it got pushed over to that side of the cabinet...

Just poking in here to say that Ira to me is very much like Vixen and both are orangey patchouli love

This made me think automatically of the Thirteens.

2012 Version : Not crazy for this, seems a bit flat. I prefer The Vine, this one may have to go...

OK, this was much better yesterday, more of the very fresh pear, I still think I will usually prefer the Vine.

This is very incense heavy to me, with some rich florals in the background, I love this, sigh, need some backups...

I know I am going to wear the heck out of this one, it's not too anything, not too head shop, not too flowery, not too sweet, it's just right, said Goldilocks. I can see this on a boy too, like most of my favorites.

This is excellent, resiny, very much like the Zebra, but a bit more "boy".

I am so loving Al Azif right now I am spamming my love for it everywhere, but coincidentally it seems really right for this weather, spicy but a bit creamy, gorgeous,.

Here's another one, Gothic Horror, and it's friend, German Expressionist Horror for resin.

Minty things work well for my ADHD, like Dracul or Cloister Graveyard in the Snow, also I find strong things like Sin to be energizing.

Anything with the "snow note" as well, Cloth of Gold, Onduris etc.

Yes, OK, I like this, it's fabulous, and I have it as a hair gloss, fabulous, but I don't really need this as an oil as I find it quite similar to Al Azif, and I love him so...

Reina, have you tried Al Azif? It's a creamy spicy deep thing, that would smell great on a dancer IMO.

Dallandra, what about Black Phoenix? It is a wonderful rich cherry, very dark and lush.

I like Al Azif or Kubla Khan for empowerment purposes, as they are sort of masculine, but I like wearing them. And I feel very awesome.

I received this one due to Mad Good Fortune, and I do like it. It is a morpher, it morphs from strong sharp and green to soft and wet flowers, so very nice.

It is a sweet floral, but very wearable IMO, will update.

Just wanted to add, this is AMAZING as a room scent, just gorgeous. Not too perfumey, flowery, my daughter said it smelled like being outside in a garden.

OMG this is GORGEOUS. Strong and deep, lush, just gorgeous. I was trying to hold out for Comic Con, but I must have this...now...

Heroine. It's fierce.

It finally came to me what this was reminding me of, the old Khiel's Musk Oil that I used to buy from the original store in the East Village, back when they sold perfume oils, like a hundred of them, in little brown bottles, like the Black Phoenix ones. You could get bigger bottles too as I remember.

Kheils, like so many other cosmetic/perfume companies was bought out a few years ago, now it is a "brand", sigh.

But I still remember the smell of that Musk...

The Night Raven. To me it's a cold stone with incense, it's just amazing. I love incense notes, to me this is The One.

I also love Al Azif, but it's much warmer and almost milky.

Dawn : Mourning Victory smells exactly like that to me.

Shoot me and kill me, this is so nice. When I first opened it I thought, whoa, hit me with a big candy brick why don't you, but after application I felt like I could smell something vaguely dusty, like under the sofa cushions? It's been on for about three hours and still has power. Very very good. You need this. Trust me.

What about AE Albopictus? Tomato leaf, very good...

Hermia? Anybody? help me?
