The spreadsheet is beautiful, thank you so very much. Being a mom of a teenager, and working 60+ hours a week, I never have time to do more than sniff/slather/run...and I've so many imps I can't remember what half of them smelled like

Unfortunately, Spellbound does not like me very much. In the bottle there's this rich, deep spicy/sweet scent that was delicious, but there's this bitter after-scent (like an aftertaste?hrm) that curled my nose. When I put it on it got worse. Not only does it NOT like my skin...but on me it has an IMPRESSIVE throw radius...people 20 feet away were wrinkling their noses at me Alas, Spellbound, you break my heart.

I picked this up in a lot of masculine scents off ebay (only about 5 of them ... ), trying to find a good one to sweet-talk my boi into trying on. This one nearly bowled me over. Spicy/rich/sexgod smell wafting up from the bottle..I got him to get a bit very next day >:-)

Finally got to try this one after hearing so much goodness about it. First scent..whoa...strong, muskmuskmusk. Almost too much for me, and I love musky scents. Wet...turned a little babypowderish. Was about to cry...so much anticipation going down the tubes. Dry -- Oh...oh there's that lovely rich musk...and the spices are just a delicate tinge. Nothing strong enough to be seperately identifiable...but they're there. All in all I like this one alot, but I'm going to have to agree with what alot of folks have said. This is NOT a day-to-day perfume...this is my slinky black dress, heels, out to cause some trouble scent

This is the scent that proved the point of "NO matter what it smells like in the bottle, TRY IT ON" beyond a shadow of a doubt. When I first got this, it was in a bundle I purchased off Ebay to test out scents. Opened the bottle and was "UGH!!! EWW NO NO NO". I couldn't tell you what it smelled of..it was just nasty to my nose. Something about the raw scents didn't mesh with my nose very well at all. But...I was in a hurry and had no other imp to try on so I figured I"d put a drop on my arm and let it set for the drive from my house to work..Could wash it off there if it was too bad. oh. My. GOD!!! Was I wrong. It turned into something rich and almost edible..I ended up slathering it on and walking around sniffing myself ALL day long. This stuff was incredible. I could smell the deep chocolate notes, with the hint of cherry, and the orange just made it spark.

Finally got to try a bit of 2005's Samhain.....so here's my little bit of a review for it. When I first got it and opened it up, the very first impression was "Sweet!!". It was almost overwhelmingly sweet in the bottle to me for some reason. Then I put a bit on to try it.... omg. Pure deep sensual spice on me. The sweet totally vanished after the first 10 minutes, leaving me smelling of something that wasn't foody, yet carried all the rich spicyness of clove and cinnamon, without being too sharp. It was soooo delicious on me I had to go buy 2 bottles off ebay *grin* And thus grows my obsession

This is exactly what it smells like on me...I just need to slather it on by the handful (awwww *sparkle*) to get it to have any real 'throw'. It's a very skin-close scent on me, barely smellable even when my nose is right by the patch I put the oil on. Might be a really good one to make a lotion with so it's everywhere......

It sounded so good.....so much anticipation when I opened the imp to test it. Cinnamon apples. Hrm...not a bad scent.... Then it touches my skin. *sputter* I smell like a damn glade plug in. Not a "nasty" smell..but nothing I want to walk around smelling like

Bought an imp of this from the swaps, so I could try it before my 5ml got here....oh man am I SO glad I did... Wet/in bottle -- Sharp, astringent scent, with a deep muskiness underneath, very slight tinge of sweetness floating in the background…smells kinda interesting. Drying -- Heavily opium-scented….slight "edgy" tone under it I assume is the civet? So far….no nastiness to this. Smells rich, and dark, and exotic Dry -- Love love love love love this scent on me….Just sniffing my arm makes me think of candlelight, silk scarves, a blindfold, and fun fun fun *evil grin* This stuff is DEFINITELY something I will be possessive of, and wear very sparingly though. It isn't something the office would appreciate Edit -- Woops....so 'cited I can't spell

Got this today, so putting my two-cents in on this one. Wet/In Bottle: Clove smack in the face..very strong. Bout the only thing I CAN smell in the bottle in fact. Drying: WOAH, serious throw…barely scraped a hint on my arm with a toothpick and I can smell it strongly. Nice for when you wanna catch attention . The clove has started to calm down, becoming less glaring..letting the dark incense mixed with the orange come out...can't pick out other scents, but it smells really nice so far. *crosses finger* Dry: Mmm, seriously love this one. This smells like something perfect to wear to a full Grand Rite, deep spiciness, overlaid by the incense…wonderful!

Okay...time for my very first review Got this as a free imp from Brienze (thank you!). Wet : Whoa!! Serious floral/violet smell just smacked my poor nose…but not in a bad way…. Drying: Mm, tones down a bit, gets a more spicy note to it…smells really neat. Dry: Turns old-lady on my skin. But will work great in my incense burner…because away from my skin it's a LOVELY smell. Rich and deep and exotic. Edit:: Yes..in my burner it smells simply divine. My room smells like some kind of exotic greenhouse now. Edit2:: After letting it settle for over an hour, the old-lady part of it has faded, and now there's just this very soft, feminine floral...wonderful for those days I just wanna be a 'girlie' type.
