    The Soldier

    Wow. This is freaking amazing!! Eagerly anticipating my decant, I was sad to see the mention of licorice/anise in some reviews. I was worried that those notes of doom would ruin what sounds to be one hell of a blend. Thankfully, The Soldier has just the barest touch of black licorice. The black pepper and licorice add spice to the tea, red musk and leather. All the notes combine together, and not one is dominant. It's creamy, slightly foody, spicy and full of naughty leather. The red musk to my nose is barely there, it only adds depth to the leather and tea. Instant Love.

    Klara

    Just stunning. So simple, yet so damn pretty. Klara is just the slightest hint of honey that mingles with tea rose and carnation. At the end of each huff, I detect a whisper of mandarin. I can't make out iris or ylang ylang, as rose and carnation are the standouts here. It's creamy, spicy and sweet. A little powdry (I love powdry) and very girly.

    The Waltz of the Snowflakes

    Minty vanilla with fir and pine. Not one note dominates, but meld together beautifully. It kinda reminds me of Snowblind with bit's of any of Lick it's and Beth's perfect snow note. I am another that couldn't do Snowblind, and I was fearful of the vanilla laced snow note, but this is not a WHAM in your face vanilla. It's soft, gentle and very creamy. This will need to be hoarded. It's just that beautiful.

    Snow Moon

    Somehow this always translates to spicy snow and fir on my skin, and while it's utterly ridiculous to think of snow as spicy that's what Snow Moon is to me. Chrysanthemums to my nose is a spicy floral, and it is also a very dominating scent at that. I can barely detect any of the other flowers, and even with a heavyweight like white rose, this is all chrysanthemum - all the time. Fir and birch meld together so seamlessly, that it is hard to pick out their individual scent. Together along with spiciness of the mums and the icy cold, snow and woods, this is one the best snow blends ever. Now if only it would snow more...

    Moon of Ice

    Pine, snowy florals and the barest hint of eucalyptus that smells like mint. When I first apply, it's a loud frosty floral. Once dry however it becomes this delicate scent with the flowers moving firmly into the background. The crisp pine and lunar oils mingle together ever so softly and the whiffs of mint morph every now and then.

    Goblin of Yuletide Past Atmosphere Spray

    I Goblin of Yuletide Past atmo spray. This is Snow Angel and Sugar Cookie with one of Beth's best notes ever...SNOW! It is lemony and spicy, with juniper and pine in the background. One squirt of this and it lasts all day.

    Trinket

    Hmmm. This is absolutely stunning. Amber, honey and a purple fruit of some kind. Possibly plums? I also get hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, maybe some cloves but not a lot of cloves. Trinket is incredibly sexy, very warming and comforting. The perfect scent this time of year.

    Horse Chestnut Honey

    Nutty, rich, extremely sweet honey. In fact it may be too sweet. It really does have that fresh O honey feel, and I prefer O aged. So I will hang on to my imp, and review this at a later stage. It's just way too fresh for me.

    Pink Moon 2005

    The name of this moon refers to the color of wild ground phlox, a primary component of this Lunacy Blend, which is one of the most widespread floral signposts of springtime in North America. This Lunar blend is soft with phlox, tulip, daffodil, dogwood and muscari, dusted with pink sugar, carnation and honey, and a touch of the first strawberries of the season. Soft florals sweetened with honey and sugar and just the barest hint of strawberries. The sugar is pretty dominant and sometimes sugar can do two things on me. Sometimes it turns to brown sugar and other times it can smell like celery!! However, the sugar in Pink Moon '05 behaves and I believe it's because of the honey. This isn't that sweet on me thanks to the florals and the greenery of the strawberries. Overall just a beautiful girly soft blend.

    Pink Moon 2007

    A sweet and silly compliment to the first breath of Spring! Sugared carnation and phlox! Spicy, sugary carnations. They feel velvety, lush and really smooth. Such a pretty spring scent, and with age this has become stunning.

    Cold Moon

    Cold Moon is like the best of all of Beth's wonderful snow blends in a bottle. It's as if she interpreted parts of Cold Moon into future blends. It's girly like Snow Bunny, cold & icy like Frost Moon. It has that beautiful slushy snow scent touched with a bit of resins (Shivering boy) and soft flowers & slight greenery (Snow White). It's a little aquatic and has a minty note (minus the vanilla thank gods) like the Lick It series or Nuclear winter. It goes on with a bang and then it just completely mellows out into this stunning perfume. It's calming and breathtaking. Just like the cold winter air. I am ridiculously excited that Beth has brought back Cold Moon.

    Yule

    Lemon, resins and holly berry with a smattering of herbs over wood. It has a definite spicy lemon note throughout due to the verbena and juniper. Frankincense and myrrh add a Midnight Mass vibe. The woods are dry and cool, and the wild thyme adds a medicinal feel. However, this is mainly resin and woods with hints of spicy lemons.

    Snow Angel

    Cherubic spun sugar with a hint of lemon, sparkling peach, and floral tea. Snow, snow and more snow with hints of lemon and pine resins. It's cool, astringent and simply beautiful.

    Goblin of Yuletide Present Atmosphere Spray

    I Goblin of Yuletide Present. Ridiculous spicy oranges. It's refreshing and sooo delicious.

    Tombeur

    I kinda have a love/hate relationship with Tombeur. Some days I can rock the scent, other days the scent wafting off the wand makes me gag. It's the blood musk and vetiver, which really only last for about a minute until they almost disappear right into the background. Then sometimes it's the bitter almond that wants to ruin it. But most of the time it's this freaking awesome blend full of notes I love and meld together so seamlessly. It's sexy and masculine and just frigging gorgeous.

    Tobacco Honey

    Like others this is almost straight up tobacco flower with a side of sweet, golden honey. It's pretty powerful and very long lasting. As it dries down, I do get whiffs a sweet, honeyed smoke, but mostly this is tobacco flower. Kinda of a let down, but I will hold on to my imp and see if aging helps it.

    Muilearteach

    Cold, black musk. It's dry, kinda sweet with hints of ozone and pine. I wasn't feeling it at forst, but the longer I have it on, and the more I smell it is kinda growing on me. Not particularily bottle worthy, but I'll enjoy my decant.

    Bogle

    I had high hopes for this blend, and was a little scared of the vetiver note going in, but Bogle completely surprised me. It starts off slightly foody, with whiffs of fruity warm pumpkin. It's creamy and spicy and really pretty. The pumpkin isn't overworked with spice and it is also slightly buttery. Frankincense and vetiver help cut the sweetness and adds depth and a smoky resin feel. Overall a really stunning blend.

    Licorice Bats

    Hmmm, not my cup of tea. First off, I really don't like black licorice or anise and although the both are combined with cacao (which helps to temper it)it just doesn't meld with my skin chemistry. I have to admit that both anise and black licorice are usually LOUD notes, this blend was a softened version of them.

    Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple

    Yummy, sweet and tart green apples with loads of sugar, a touch of buttery spice with vanilla. Unfortunately the apple smell kinda goes wonky on my skin and ends up smelling quite plastic-y and fake.

    Nut Crack Night Atmosphere Spray

    Stunning. Warm roasted nuts with touches of spice. It's foody, but not overly foody...meaning it's not sweet at all. It has a hint of wood in the background. I think I will have to spring for a bottle of this. My decant will not be enough.

    Ginger Skulls

    OMG so good. It's tart and sweet, juicy and spicy. Love. The pear, quince and ginger really meld together.

    Slaugh

    Creamy but tart sassafras. The tea note is definitely present, while the tonka adds creaminess. While the scent does resemble root beer, it's a tart, spicy kinda root beer. There is also a slight medicinal vibe going on, which I adore. It's also a little woody.

    Marshmallow Pumpkin

    Dry baking spices with sweet marshmallows and the tiniest amount of pumpkin. Kinda bummed. I was really hoping for less spice and more pumpkin and marshmallow. The spices really eat all the other elements.

    Bedbug

    OMG. It smells like one of my favorite teas. Gingerbread Orange Rooibos. love it. Thanks to my bedbug fairy.
