    This stuff is goooood! So now I know why people were lusting after this one so much......it's gorgeous! I mostly get the coffee......I drink lots of coffee and this smells just like how I'd love my coffee to smell....nice and creamy and a little sweet . Don't get more than hints of the dusty tomes and oakwood halls though, but that could be because of my stuffy nose.....I can smell, but I need to sniff extra hard to get the whole scent, so I might be missing some subtle notes..... I'll test it again when my nose is all clear again to see if I actually hate it.....but I highly doubt that!

    Jailbait

    Innocence defiled. Sticky pink bubblegum and the thick, sweet scent of orange and cherry lollipops smeared over a breath of heady womanly perfume. Yes....bubblegum 'n' candy with just a little hint of something spicy....I don't know...don't think it's cinnamon or cassia, but something like it ( my nose, she is still a little...how do you say?...untrained ) It's not something I want to smell like all day, but yet I'm being stalked by the Jailbait....it seems to show up as a frimp very often. That's okay though, because although I don't feel like smelling like it myself.....the 5-year old boy really loves smelling like candy and I love it when he does, so he gets dabbed with it whenever he feels like it! eta: description

    The Lion

    This is a really light scent on me and I get more cinnamon than amber........sadly. I love amber and the combination with a little cinnamon sounded really nice......but it's the other way around.....my skin seems to amp cinnamon-type scents . Still a lovely scent, just not what I expected and I don't think I'll wear it much, but I'll use up the imp! ( maybe make a nice sugar scrub with it )

    The Mock Turtle's Lessons

    I've been meaning to try this and then I got frimped with it! *yay* Wet on skin it does smell like spearmint-something. But as it dries the apples come out, the mint gets softer and the aquatic notes emerge.......lovely! And I'm *so* glad this doesn't turn floral on me . It doesn't have a lot of throw on me, but that's okay.....I would wear this teaching gym-classes and then the whole room doesn't have to smell me.....I just need to be non-stinky when they come close to ask me something Don't know if I'll buy a bottle yet, but I'll definitely keep an imp around to use!

    The Organ Grinder (2006)

    Oy.....I can't stand this one........had to wash it off after 5 minutes.... So now I know that almonds and I are no friends.......unless they're über-sweet, marzipan scented, but even then I'm really picky......I think it's safe to say that if they don't smell like Dana O'Shee or Lush's Snowcake, they're not for me. It's sad really, because I originally bought this for the man ( he's a Robert Johnson fan and the artwork was based on him, I read Macha tell us ) but I don't think I'd want to be around him if he smelled like this...... Too bad.....

    Midnight on the Midway (2006)

    Lightning splits the sky, illuminating the skeletal skyline of the carnival rides: sugared incense and night-blooming flowers. I love how this smells......the flowers, the sugar, the incense.....they just blend in with each other beautifully.......but..... It gave me a headache must be one of those nightblooming flowers I guess...... ( and I was all ready to swap my Black Moon for a bottle too...... )

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    I love the Devil's Night label! And that Lucy Westenra label just creeps me out, but it's beautiful too (they're up in the community gallery....it'll be some time yet before I see them 'in person')

    The Bow & Crown of Conquest

    OMG *swoon* I don't know what I'd do to the man wearing this in my presence Absolutely gorgeous this is and I'm so glad to have been frimped with it by the lab, because it would've been a while for me to 've gotten around to ordering it........ It smells masculine to me, but not overly so.....I could wear it myself if I wanted to....the vanilla gives it a kind of softness and sweetness.... This will be passed on to the man, I think he'll be *very* succesful with the ladies wearing this

    Dragon's Musk

    Okay it's official now........my skin amps dragon's blood like nobody's business ..... And while I like the smell of it, for most of the Ars Draconis scents that means I might as well just wear the dragon's blood SN, because after 5 minutes that's all I can smell....... However.........my skin amps musks as well......so....*this* is the one that I'm able to wear without it being the SN and I happen to love musks as well so.... I think it has some of the same musks that are in Smut. My search is over.....this is the perfect Dragon's Blood blend for me!

    Schwarzer Mond

    I can smell that cola scent that's been mentioned before but it fades away within seconds after hitting my skin...... After that there's not much to say.......gorgeous amber/patchouli/resin goodness and I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve it!! very, *very* well done Brian!!

    Black Moon

    Mostly pear and cucumber on my skin.....this is a lot less floral than I thought, which is fine by me, because I'm not a floral kind of girl It has a floral background to it, but not in a WHOA FLOWERS!! way. It's just really fresh and crisp. I don't know if I'll reach for it much, but I'll keep it anyway because I want to keep the set together.....as I love how the two interpretations are so very different from each other. eta: After wearing her again I know we can never be true friends, so off to a more loving home she'll go......

    Brisingamen

    I love amber and my skin loves amber so I *had* to try Brisingamen! I'm not a floral girl, but I do like carnations for their spicy scents and I really don't mind apple blossom . Don't know what myrtle is supposed to smell like though. Brisingamen didn't disappoint me On me it's sweet amber goodness with the carnations giving it a little more spice and I like it very much.......I might even buy a bottle at some point!

    Olokun

    Ehm....yes aquatic.......and yes very 'ocean floor-y'........ I don't know what else to say about it, really......it smells fresh and clean without smelling like soap and I like it.......

    Ladon

    A beautiful, beautiful smell I absolutely love this ! At first it's all fresh, crisp apples and then......after it dries the dragon's blood and florals blend in with it en leave this wonderful, slightly sweet scent on my skin..... This definitely goes on my 'bottles to buy' list!

    Cockaigne

    Spicy cookies with sweet honey......I've never had gingerbread cookies, but I can imagine they smell like this I'm not getting any wine though.......but that's okay, I'm just glad it wasn't as buttery on my skin as it was in the imp. A little too foody for me to wear, but I'll definitely use this imp as a room scent come wintertime and I might replace it with another after it's all gone.

    Gennivre, L’Artiste du Diable

    I got a half imp of this to sniff, try and decide if I want a bottle........but I'm not sure yet. It's a very lovely blend: fresh, lemon-y and a little sweet, but I don't know if I'll wear it much. I would've loved for the mint to stay with me a little longer.....in about 2 minutes after it hits my skin it's gone I'll have to test it a couple more times, but right now I'm thinking it's too citrussy for me to wear on 'any-ol'-day' and too perfumey to wear to the gym.......

    Theodosius, The Legerdemain

    Ah yes Musky lemon tea! This is Dorian's older, more manly, I've-been-around-and-seen-it-all brother As much as I love this, I don't know if I'll wear it much myself.......I might pass some on to the husband....I *know* this will be über-sexy on him! Half the bottle stays with me though......'cos
  18. I can see how this scent is related to Snake Charmer/ Oil......but it's very different too. The patchouli leaf smells kinda sharp to me, a little woodsy, smoky..... I don't get much of the fruits or the vanilla bean. I guess my skin amps the patchouli. It's a very grown up, sophisticated scent and I'm getting another bottle just for aging purposes, because I just know this will get even better!

    Mouse's Long and Sad Tale

    Oh I hadn't reviewed this one yet.......glad I didn't, because the Mouse and me....well we got off on the wrong foot. I had wrongly accused the Mouse of being too floral, but later I found out that the huge bouquet of *very* fragrant flowers the husband got for his birthday was to blame but by that time I had sold my 5ml already. So.....after realizing there was no way I would *not* love this blend, with the amber and vanilla and all.....I got a 10ml to make it up to the Mouse . And a lovely scent it is! The sweet pea and amber give the vanilla just enough depth to be interesting while the sandalwood keeps it from getting too sweet..... For me this is very much an every-day scent......when I want something different than my ( now usual ) spicy, incensy scents.

    Chaos Theory III: Strange Attractors

    DCCXLVII(747): Well.....this starts out as a very buttery, cakey kind of smell.......then after a while when it starts to dry it becomes this sourish, cherry candy smelling concoction, which is very nice....but......I'm not sure I can take the initial stage to get to the candy....... Will have to try this one a couple times more and if it doesn't grow on me, I think I'll try to swap it..... DCCXLVIII(748): Yog-Sothoth 's all I have to say......... So this one will be passed onto the husband who already has a Yog-Sothoth spray I made for him.......and this will be his back up bottle this also means he won't get to share my 10ml of Dorian I have coming

    Alice

    Ooooooow......I love Alice more than I thought I would This is so well blended on my skin that not one note really stands out.....I can detect every note because I know what to sniff for, since I have the description right in front of me, but I have to concentrate on each note to find it.........if that makes any sense... What more can I say......a lovely blend Alice is

    Eat Me

    A little cake in the wet stage and after that lots 'n' lots of currants! With just the tiniest hint of vanilla....... It's really lovely actually, don't know if I'll wear it as a perfume though ( thought I was much more of a foody kind of girl, than I turn out to be ) but it'll make a great room scent, so I'm gonna hold on to my imp!

    The Hanging Gardens

    Very fruity indeed.......I like it, but I don't love it......And I know why: I don't care very much for peachy scents and this ( while I don't think it's listed as a note ) smells *very* peachy to me... I think I'll hang on to my imp for a while, but it won't be a bottle purchase for me.

    Scherezade

    On me, this is Smut minus the booze and the sugar note..........and with less musk.......Yes this is Smut-Light Needless to say I will be ordering a bottle of this! It's just spicy goodness and I can't stop sniffing the back of my hand

    Penthus

    The salt and the incense make it so I don't wash it off within the hour.........but it's still way too florally for me. Still....if you're a floral kinda girl/guy.....it's really nice.
