    Playing with Dangerous Toys

    As the previous poster said...chocolate, resin, hint of wood and tobacco absolute. Not a big fan. This really is kind of flat.

    Chewing Little Bits of String

    Wet: Marshmallow, Lemon, and Honey. Dry: Marshmallow, lemon, and honey and the honey is turning on me and turning to cat pee. So it's now marshmallow, lemon, and funky honey catpee. Gotta Go.

    Noisome Clockwork Tin Locomotive

    wet: Straight up mint/peppermint. Dry: Peppermint with something funky. Pass.

    Left His Nurse While In a Crowd

    Wet: Tea, chocolate, cream, and berries on the first whiff. This almost knocked me silly from the strength. Dry: Chocolate cake with red raspberries and sauce with a dollop of cream with hint of lemon tea on the side. I don't know how Beth puts all of this in one scent but she sure knows what she is doing.

    Deathly Pride

    Licorice. Fresh black Licorice with the barest hints of freakin incense. God bless america I can't stand this. Must. Wash. Off.

    Dreadful Lies

    Amber and cognac with hints of powdery dry alcoholic cleaner. This is the first amber that has ever gone powdery on me. I love the powder note and the amber and tagette are really smooth. Quite nice but the cognac is too much it smells clean yet boozy. At least I don't have to try and track this down.

    Evening Cicadas and Red Peppers

    No tea. No Cicadas. Just hints of red pepper + generic commercial perfume smell on my skin. *sigh*

    Evening Star

    I don't know what made me think this was for me. Generic, commercial, perfumey florals. Not a fan.

    Dreamland

    Wispy Iris, with powdery floral notes. It smells overly perfumey and clean almost commercial like. But it's not. Maybe this is the stuff dreams are made of in the world of Edgar Allen Poe?

    Queen of Clubs

    Wet: Red currant...fruity pomegranate with rose and a hint of vanilla. Dry: Red fruity incense with a hint of dirt. Not earth...fresh soil. The fruit and incense are the main stays but the earth keeps switching out with Myrrh. This is the strangest scent I have ever tried But I do love it. I am so glad that I have some.

    Josie

    This started out as lush honey drizzled on peaches! And then came the magnolia.... It has taken over and that's all I smell. Which makes me very sad as this was the first honey and peach scent that actually worked on my skin. *sigh*

    The Darkling Thrush

    I will never understand Beth's winter notes. Sometimes they are minty, sometimes medicinal, and now in this it's just darn fizzy. This smells like a cold slightly medicinal fizzy violent soda that is slightly dry. But definitely soda and fizzy like, cold and fizzy. It's not for me but I am so glad I was able to try it.

    Black Lace

    Black Lace: How do I love the new formulation let me count the ways.... 1. MUCH Less tobacco and incense.... 2. MUCH less vanilla cotton... 3. The perfect blend of tobacco, cognac and vanilla, with just the barest hints of cotton. I just love this bottle and I am so glad that I could fall in love with this scent again!

    fizzy, sorta carbonated, sparkling blends?

    I would also say that the Champagnes from last year were all fizzy/ginger ales on my skin vs. Alcoholic Champagnes. These definitely had fizz to them. Also, Spinning Multicolored pinwheel, orange phoenix were also fizzy and carbonated like.

    Spooky

    I tried aged spooky and it was meh on me. Fresh...it's just perfect. I would have never thought that this would work. The rum and vanilla keep the peppermint from being to strong. It's absolutely delicious. Damn it...I now have to buy a bottle.

    Iron Phoenix

    This just smells off. It smells like a metal pipe with sticky fresh blood rolled in basil. Do. NOT. WANT! Going to wash off now this disturbs me only on the olfactory level, but it invokes images of violence, pain, and blood as I sniff it.

    Gold Phoenix

    This smells like bright oranges, perfume, and Gold metal. It's also making me itch. I am hoping that it's just interacting with the lotion I just put on b/c I do like this. I just don't know if it's bottle worthy.

    Lead Phoenix

    wet: Metal..Lead in particular with hints of blood, cypress, and styrax. Dry: Metal with a cypress tree. For pete's sake I smell like Cypress trees. Of all the phoenixes I had such high hopes for this one. *sigh*

    Silver Phoenix

    Most jewelry I wear is silver or white gold. And this oil truly reminds me of silver. the mugworth comes through...no pear in sight...but there is definite hint of softness and sweetness to this. I truly do enjoy this and I will have to track down a bottle.

    Manila

    I have never smelled banana incense before. But now....I have. It's interesting. I think I will keep this and wear it on days when I am in a fun mood.
  21. :wet: There is no red sexy musk in this. Just fake cherry cough syrup. Drydown: Very HERBAL cherry flavored cough syrup. So not a fan of this. Going to swap this one off now.

    Whoso List To Hunt

    Wet: Brown musk single note. Don't ask why but it is all that I can smell. It's soft and feathery with a little hints of powder. Then out of nowhere the sweetness of the rose comes through. Not harsh...just like watching a red rose fall on a pillow. This is interesting...and is definitely worth keeping my decant. I just know if it's enough for a bottle.

    Peach Moon

    This smells like the fuzz on a fresh peach! Not quite fruity but slightly floral. Peach blossom with fuzziness. AND then the Jasmine comes......And ruins everything. I smell like a fresh bouquet of jasmine and gardenia soap. Must wash off now.....*sigh*

    Snowball Fracas

    Eucalyptus and mint. No dirt, no true ice, no nothing! Maybe my skin is revolting since I am getting over this cold/sinus infection thing. Somehow I doubt it though. *sigh*
