in the bottle it's very juicy and sweet - like an orange grove. On it goes a bit soapy, and stays very faint. It doesn't have the same bite the other scents with pepper i've tried do. The citrus must counteract that somehow. I like it, but not sure how much i'll use it. I'll probably just hang on to my imp.

a sort of generic sweet-bread smell, on me. in the bottle it just smells warm and foody. it's less obnoxious then the mosterbaits were, but I still don't like smelling like cake.

This is creamy vanilla with a hint of powdery floral. It's very faint on, i have to inhale my wrist to smell it, but it'd be a lovely spray or in a scent locket, or even in conditioner. I'll probably be getting more of it.

In the bottle it's a kind of nauseating jumble of foody smells. On, the pineapple comes out along with a buttery-popcorn note, and a hit of cherry-flavored medicine. It's not really my kind of thing, but i'll always imagine the potion tasting like this smells when I read alice.

Initial sniff: smells just like my Burt's Bees natural bug repellant - must be the lemongrass or the lemon verbena initial application: yup. just the same after a while: The grapefruit come out - it goes sort of powedery and warm on me, similar to amber but with more of a kick and a hint of citrusy goodness. After a while this fades some, but it smells very similar to the way Stardust did on me, but cooler. It doesn't have the warm-boozy bit that Stardust has. I like this one, although it's a bit to pungent on me to be used as a summer scent, which was my inital hope.

in the imp - sweet and smoky on me - cloying, leathery, still sweet (the champange?), but with something earthy. i like it, it has a nice throw on me, but it's a bit stronger than i like. i might wear it for a special sexy occasion, or i might bust it outmore inthe winter as it's a nice warm scent. the imps a keeper, for sure. but i probably won't buy a bottle...

lime / heliotrope / juniper orange / sandalwood I swapped for this on the forums,as it's my rising sign and i was very curious. In the imp it was crisp, citrussy and fresh, and surprisingly it didn't make me sneeze (heliotrope and juniper are both iffy with my allergies). On it was light, and faded fairly quickly but didn't morph too much, although it did make my skin itch something awful where i put it. The verdict - i'll wear it, but in a scent locket from now on, because i like lime that much.

in the bottle: spicy plums one me: spicy plums throw: very little duration: like 2 mintues what's will the mad tea party's? Do they share a similar base like the lunars? A lot of them have little to no simliar notes, yet all the ones I've tried so far (most of them) fade right away on me. The only exception thus far was The Lion, because I amp amber. This makes me sad, because I would to say "i'm wearing frumious bandersnatch". anyway, it smelled nice, but i won't wear it again since I can't be reapplying every five minutes.

When I was growing up we used to go to this Voyager reenactment in Lafayette, IN every october called "Feast of the Hunter's Moon". There were always bonfires and open fire cooking, tons of merchants w/all kinds of things - wood, and leathers/furs, clothes, and people demonstrating crafts - blacksmithing, candle making, dyework. It was a cacophony of wonderful smells. And lucky me, this smells just like it. It smells like fall and outdoors and working with your hands. I love it! I will be selling my soul (or what's left of it) to obtain mass quantities of this scent.

I was super excited to try this, becuase in the imp it smelled delicously light and refreshing - apply and minty and crip. after about 30 second on my skin it turned soapy and faint and w/in 3min had dissappeared completely. I might try putting it in a room spray for the summer, but beyond that, I will sadly not be using much of this one.

I got a imp of this from a 5 bottle Tal swap Brienze organized. I got it shortly after I got my own bottle of Temple:Norse. It was actually very good that I got this one second. While Norse reminds me of fall, this one is very spring/summery. green and sweet and cool w/ a bit of fruit. perfectly blended.

i got my bottle a while ago, and it took me a while to place the note, But it smells like crisp fall apples, w/a hint of berry and alcohol. Very comforting and sweet. Totally appropriate. I'm going to annoint my runes with it, and then I'll never want to put them down.

I had really high hopes for this one, but apparently apricot brandy on me = nasty rotten gummi bears. eeeeew. I guess i'm sticking to march hare for apricots.

In the bottle: smells like a more masculine version of Smut. must be all that musk. I also get wafts of sandalwood and vanilla on me: yup! musk! after a few moments the vanilla and sandalwood come out to play. and something else, some spices and something sharper....a tiny dash of civet perhaps? kinda like if smut and mercury had an orgy w/snake oil and torture king and satyr dropped in for a bit.....yeah, anyway.... rating: 8 out of 10. i like it a lot, and i can see myself wearing this with a lot black clothing and blood red lipstick, to go to a club or something, or for a naughty-sexy feel. Definately a reserve-for-special-occasions scent and not an everyday. but i am glad i have a bottle of it. You know, just in case i decide to become a vampire dominatrix in the future or something.

in the bottle: sugar! but it's not screaming "foody!" in fact, it smells like those candied popcorn balls people give out at halloween. those are my favorite! on me: The same, sweet, but with a salty tang and a bit of.....i'm not sure how describe it....crunch? over all: a foody scent i'm not afraid of. very good! i'll save it for fun outings and when i'm spending time with children. they behave lot more if you smell like sweets. cause then you might give them some. either that or i'm giving them another reason to gnaw on me....maybe i shouldn't wear it around kids after all.....

well, i wouldn't say i love the smut......but i do like it. in the bottle: booze and musk. no suprise there on: holy crap musk! it's a little overpowering,even for me. and i *like* musk. after about 30min it' settles into a lighter musk smell w/hints of sweetness and warmth (the burbon-y note perhaps?) it's nice, but not for everyday. this one's getting saved for a hot date or a special occaision. rating: 8.25 out of ten. I like it, but i definately don't need two bottles of it.....

A tribute to the opium den cum bawdyhouses of Shanghai in the 1930’s. Golden amber, blonde tobacco, Sudanese black coconut, rich caramel, black currant, white opium and delphinium laced with a sensual blend of Asian spice. in the bottle: caramel coated fruit. not sure how i feel about it. but i'm definately not getting any coconut, which is a relief, because one of my roomates would have run out of the house screaming if i smelled even a tiny bit like coconut. on my skin: caramel and more caramel. a bit of the fruity scent sticks around, but not for too long. after a while it stops being so sweet and warms up, a hint of florals show up too. It's not too foody, and it's warm so i'll probably wear it, but i'd hoped for more amber and tobacco. it's a great blend though. it all fits together really well. overall: about a 7 out of 10.

i don't know about the "thank you for your order page" - maybe a default/placeholder page? but the double quantities happen sometimes when a shopping cart site "remembers" what you put in the cart last time you added things. if you didn't put in credit card numbers and addresses you didn't actually place an order, no information was actually processed, and no one was pestered. make sure what you want for sure is in your cart in the right quantity (you can change the amount manually) and then finish the checkout process. yay order! or if you have a paypal balance you can order through paypal, be sure to type your order into the comments section of the send payment page. hope that helps!

i got this for friend as a suprise, but decided to try it on a whim. i was orginally terrified of the pine, eucalyptus and florals as all make me sneezy. I sniffed it in the imp and it didn't make my nose twitch, it's was sort of fruity and light, nothing to blantantly floral or piney. so i went for it. on it smells the same, sort of light and fruity, with a touch of powder, it does make my eyes a bit runny, but overall, i like it.

OMG! This is amazing. After two week of restless or nonexsistant sleep, this worked wonders. It didn't make me sleepy right away, but it made me calmer and more relaxed so i could fall asleep. And i sleep like a baby. The smell is lavender and something else, somewhat sharp, as someone said. But i was so worried about the lavender, as it can not bother me at all, or give me sinus headaches from hell. luckily tihs was the former. The smell reminds me of soap, but not unpleasant. I applied to my forehead and my collarbone before bed, and there is some lingering this morning, but just faintly. I will definately be purchasing a bottle.

in the bottle: um..not sure, a sharp smell, but not unpleasant on me: still sharp, but warm, and definately animalistic, but not icky like civet. I got no roses (thank god!) and it had a decent throw. effects: i definately felt a little perkier and more playful, as i had been having a mopey day. I would what effect it would have if i was already perky.... overall: i really like the scent and would consider a 5ml. I think it's one of the Voodoos i'd actually use on a regular basis.

In the bottle: nice and green, w/an underlying warmth to it. kinda smells like a soap i had once. On me: still green, but more soapy smelling. the warmth is still there. there is definately some citrus to it, but some green teas can be more citrusy, so maybe that's it. I wonder the warmth is the oude or the white tea, having never worn a perfume w/either. I think i'll keep it around for summer, when it would be nice and refreshing. It's a little to aquatic for me to wear now. I do wonder what that warmth smell is, because i love that more than the top notes in this one. Perhaps i'll experiment w/some aging. overall: about a 3 on a 1-5 scale. nice, but not an everyday scent for me.

Earthy and wonderful, except i'm allergic to about half the ingredients. one sniff and my nose started screaming at me. There is a note underneath that like, after braving a second sniff...insensce? and dirt? i'm still afriad to wear it though. le sigh. Can there be an earth blend w/o pine or eucalyptus? off to the swaps...

eeh. this smells like jasmine. nothing but jasmine. well.....okay, jasmine soap, like at bath and body works. That wouldn't be bad, 'cept it makes me sneezy. i can see where the idea of honeysuckle is coming fromthough. i think i'm gonna put it away and try agin in the summer. edited cause i can't spell.

has anyone asked about gc equivalents to Devil's Night? it's my absolute fav, and not to hard to find at the moment, but i worry about the future....
