    Harlot

    I neither smell nor feel much cinnamon. Yay for that. The roses are lovely, and just this side of "so powdery they aggravate my allergies."

    Hemlock

    I have no clue what's in here. No idea whatsoever. I like the bright green oil and the herbal scent, but I can't be specific because my nose isn't very well trained.

    Opium Poppy

    Opium Poppy smells like baby oil. Exactly like I remember it, that is. Erk!

    Envy

    Green herbs slithering through mint, lime and lavender. The lavender in here is made sharp and medicinal by the mint. I don't really smell much lime. This one will need a few more tests before I know whether I like it or not.

    The Bow & Crown of Conquest

    This is such a guy scent! The leather makes me think of cowboys etc. I smell sage, but barely, and only a hint of lavender. The cedar is not at the forefront, but I can easily detect it.

    White Rabbit

    I smell tea, honey, and ginger. I bet this would be nice and comforting when you're sick (provided your nose is working). I also smell something akin to Honey Nut Cheerios. Even though this is a honey scent, it's not fading to nothing! Miracles do happen.

    Tombstone

    I'm confused by this. I definitely smell vanilla, and a scent that's naggingly familiar - almost like root beer, but not as syrupy. Apparently, that's sassafras. I love root beer, but I don't want to smell like it.

    Gomorrah

    Musty BPAL number 117. I wish I knew why my skin does such odd things to so many perfumes. The herbs are fairly strong in Gomorrah, but mustiness wins in the end.

    Lady MacBeth

    The berries, wine, and currant make this a very heavy blend. It's wonderful. While I wouldn't say that it smells like Venom, it is similarly mature, sophisticated, and sensual. Lady Macbeth fades quickly on my skin.

    Arachne

    This is a sweet, soft floral. Not very substantial, as I expected. It's lovely but on me, it's not anything special. Arachne fades quickly.

    Tempest

    Very heavy on the ozone. Smells quite a bit like Sea of Glass, though with less lilac. Awesome!

    Midnight

    This is a very dusty and fragile floral, like a sachet found in your grandma's attic. It's also soapy. Yay skin chemistry! Oh well.

    Baneberry

    I have no idea what's in this, but it smells like a great evil Christmas perfume. I know that's vague, but it makes sense in my head. Unfortunately, there's a faint tinge of plastic once it touches my skin, so no evil Christmas for me.

    Trick or Treat

    Burnt sugar. I have no idea what issue my nose has that anything even remotely foody smells scorched, but there you go.

    Evening Star

    This is too icy. I think it's the moonflower I loathe, because I have no issues with icy violets. It smells too sweet, as well.

    The Reaper and the Flowers

    This is pretty soapy. I blame white rose. The carnation is nice, but it doesn't hide the soapiness well enough for this to be wearable.

    Lampades

    Cranberries are great! This is a wonderful fall scent. The musk is just barely there. Gorgeous.

    Libertine

    Ooh, this is lovely! Light on the bergamot. Some rosewood, plenty of violet, not much musk or sandalwood, maybe some chamomile. Very delicate.

    Black Widow

    I swear I smell something like dragon's blood in here. I definitely smell rose and jasmine. The patchouli is not very prominent, yay! Nor is myrrh, which is usually too heavy for me. I love this. It's very sensual.

    Lex Talionis

    It's a good thing I like Lex Talionis out of the imp, because I dropped the cap on my laptop. Oops. On my skin, it's too dark and musty for my tastes, and it's not strong enough.

    Imp of the Perverse

    *blinkblink* This smells like musty dusty old latex and plastic. Usually it's gardenia that goes to plastic on me, and I still haven't figured out what note goes to latex. But, gah.

    Yesod

    Yesod is way musty and musky. Very dark, heavy, kinda gross. It smells like something died on my skin.

    Xiuhtecuhtli

    Vaguely floral. I don't really know what cactus flowers smell like, but from now on that's what I'm going to think. Unfortunately, as this sits on my skin, it takes on a tinge of latex.

    Silk Road

    I can't pick out any individual notes. This smells like really old but still somehow pungent potpourri that's covered in dust. Ew.

    Tintagel

    I smell mulled wine and rotting leaves. Or else burning leaves, maybe. It's very autumnal, if you're into that kind of thing. Unfortunately, I'm just not.
