    Dead Leaves, Pineapple, Patchouli, and Vetiver

    For some reason..the weirdest notes work on me.This blend is no exception. The pineapple is crisp and mildly sweet and balances out the damn vetiver and the leaves smell like dead leaves...not cologne. This is beautiful. I need a bottle. Damn it.
  2. This is warm tuscan leather with Too much cologne note in the dead leaves with a sweeter mimosa blossom. So not a fan of this. It's just too much man for me. Good thing my soon to be brother in law stopped by, tried it, and is in love. Off to a new home as I figure this one would be a hard sell/swap.

    Lakeside Atmosphere Spray

    This is absolutely fabulous! Clean water, with hints of coolness with a bit of green. I used my little 4ml spritzer up today. I need to upgrade to a full bottle.

    Black Pomegranate

    Wet: This smells like I have bitten into a juicy, sweet pomegranate. Dark, seductive, sweet. Dry, candy sweet sticky pomegranate. I don't know how I feel about this yet as my skin eats it up so fast!

    Eve's Big Apple VII

    Source: Tester from NYCC. This was apple spice cardamom coffee cake from one of my favorite local bakeries..Sugar Bakers. I wanted to eat it and my arm. I am glad I passed on this one as it was too foodie and made me want to eat coffee cake.

    Broadway

    Faint red musk, patchouli and caramel. I amp caramel to the nth power and this does not disappoint. The vanilla oddly softens the sweetness of the caramel making this bareable until the Damn LILAC comes stomping on my skin. *sigh* This had such promise until the stinky lilac took over.

    Eve's Big Apple I

    I tried to put it on...but cherry blossoms took over. The apple does smell like it is mixed with a bit of pear. ..still overall too sweet and floral. Glad I got to try it!

    Mannahatta

    High end men's cologne from wet to dry. Honestly, it was the amber that attracted me but it gets eaten up by the fouregere zankou describes above. Not for me.

    Eve's Big Apple III

    GInger apple champagne from wet to dry. I WANT TO DRINK THIS. Just not wear it. It was nice to try though!

    Lilith's Kwamie Cotton

    This was dragon's blood and cotton on me. It was so faint though! Lovely to try, but I am glad I was able to eliminate this from my potential buy list.

    Single Note: Burning Book

    Wet: paper, ink, with a smoky note! Drydown: gorgeous brown leather with paper, a touch of ink and smoke! This is love...true love!

    Solanine, the Flower Girl

    This is what Poison Ivy smells like. A supervillain in her own right, champion of flora and hate of man kind, she smells seductively of green things, lily, roses, carnations and other flowers. At first this scent is wet and heavy. Like walking into a flower shop. Dry: It becomes very light, and inoffensive. This is something I see wearing in the cooler months as well as the spring!

    Morocco Bath Oil

    MOROCCO The intoxicating perfume of exotic incenses wafting on warm desert breezes. Arabian spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia. Thank you to Shollin for adding this! The scent is softer more muted version of the perfume while mixed with the bath oil. I can wear this as perfume solely or I can create a gorgeous Moroccan cloud and wear it as a moisturizer with the perfume itself. Both the oil and perfume have the same scent and can I say that it is heavenly on its own or if mixed with the perfume.

    It Sifts from Leaden Sieves

    It sifts from Leaden Sieves – It powders all the Wood. It fills with Alabaster Wool The Wrinkles of the Road – It makes an even Face Of Mountain, and of Plain – Unbroken Forehead from the East Unto the East again – It reaches to the Fence – It wraps it Rail by Rail Till it is lost in Fleeces – It deals Celestial Vail To Stump, and Stack – and Stem – A Summer’s empty Room – Acres of Joints, where Harvests were, Recordless, but for them – It Ruffles Wrists of Posts As Ankles of a Queen – Then stills it’s Artisans – like Ghosts – Denying they have been – White frankincense, pale dry patchouli, white sandalwood, and a tuft of coconut-white snow. This is lovely. Soft frankincense, wood, with the barest hint of patchouli...it definitely makes this dry. The snow is not prevalent at all...it's it's just snow...with barest hint of coconut. I hope this will age well.

    Jiaolong

    Low throw sexy coffee, with sexy sugar, and a hint of black musk. I love it. NO CREAM! Heavens Rejoice!

    Blóðughadda

    This is very subtle. So far, it amber, with bare hints of clove (white clove is cleaner than black on my skin apparently) and the patch is non-existent. The saffron..yeah..she is still here mucking up the place and taking over the other notes. I think with some age and time, it will be beautiful.

    Blacklight-Reactive Zombie Hand

    Dry: It is beautiful. It sings on my skin. Wet: It makes me want vomit. There is something with the oude and mate that don't mix well with the currant. These are all notes of win for me so I am going to let this settle and retry it in a couple of weeks.

    Solstice Lace

    This smells like apple wine sipped on a cool fall night (my brain smells fall air!!) It is amazing!!! Looking forward to using this in October and November!

    Sweet Orange

    This is freshly peeled orange. There is nothing sweet about it. Just orange...like fresh orange juice.

    Only a Sip

    The rosemary doesn't go funky on me! The peppermint and clove are subtle with a nice blast of orange that my skin eats up. Mainly rosemary, mint, and clove. It's simply lovely.

    We Cared About Such Different Things

    This amber, the stripped down black musk from Streets of Detroit, with a nice clean white musk. Not headache inducing. It's light and dark. Warmth and cold. And beautiful.

    Laura

    I love this. Strawberry daquiri, with hints of violent and dirt. It's pretty and disturbing all at the same time. I will wear this more in the fall due to the bug attraction factor with the strawberry note, but it is quite lovely.

    Gold and Tears

    Glittering, ductile amber wet with carrot seed and bittersweet grey musk. Get this. Get it NOW. The Carrot seed makes this seem like champagne on my skin...but not the nauseating kind. It's slightly effervescent. The grey musk is slightly sweet but not overwhelming and the amber...maybe this is the glittering part...is amazing. Subtle and not overwhelming. GET THIS NOW...you need it. If you love amber and grey musk...you will love it.

    Fuck You, Said the Raven

    This scent is perfect. Dark, sexy and soft as a raven's wing. The violet and myrrh just purr in this and the patchouli is smooth. This is definitely a court scent. I am so glad that I have it!

    Eat the Strawberries

    This is super nauseating. I am officially resigning myself to no more strawberry stand alone scents from the lab. It smells like fake strawberry syrup with a touch and I mean a barest touch of real berry. *sigh*
