    Twenty-One

    That is a martini alright a good junipery (is that a word?) gin martini, I love it. I think I could get drunk of the smell of it It is so clean and fresh with out being sweet. My wish list is starting to get quite long, this one is most definitely going on it.

    Lust

    Like smut is sex in a bottle this is lust in a bottle. I am getting a lot of musk and only a little patchouli. It is a dark, sexy and hot scent. I like it quite a bit, I don’t think I would wear it to work, but would be great for a night out. Another one for my wish list.

    Death Adder

    My first thought when I put it on was an evening on a beach with a fire going, after spending the day in the sun. There is a slight sun tan lotion smell that is mellowed my the smoky note, which I am assuming is the opoponax. I must like it as I can’t keep my nose of my wrist for long. It is a bit on the masculine side, but that doesn’t bother me at all, this will be going on my wish list. ADDED 6/7/08: mmmm…coconut. Vetiver doesn’t always work on me but it is in this one. The added vanilla makes the snake oil come out much more that the other snake pits. It is pretty yummy.

    Mad Hatter

    I do not like this one at all! I think I am objecting to the combination of pennyroyal and citrus. It is turning very sour on me.

    Marquise de Merteuil

    It is a peachy and flowery scent that has some maturity to it. It isn’t a girly scent it is all woman. It is going on my ever growing wish list.

    Seraphim

    The wisteria takes over! it is too sweet for me. I can’t smell anything other than the wisteria. I had great hopes for thin one, oh well.

    Hurricane

    I can’t figure out what note it is, and it is probably a combination of notes but something in this smells like cooking beans. I keep smelling it hoping the bean smell will go away, it isn’t.

    Harlot

    This is a very sexy rose. The slight cinnamon in the background gives the rose some spice. Yum I like this one a lot, I see a big bottle of this in my future.

    Aglaea

    I didn’t expect the peach to be so prominent. I like it, it smells like peach tea. I think the ambers are warming it up so it feels more complex.

    Asphodel

    It is very flowery but unfortunately very soapy too. Not working for me at all. the soap is overpowering the flowers.

    The Hesperides

    Very apple! It smells just like a golden delicious apple in the sun, picked right off the tree. I feel like I can smell the orchard. I like it and the more I smell it the more I like it. I am keeping this imp and maybe putting it on my wish list.

    Twilight

    The first thing I smelled when I put this on was the lavender. It doesn’t take long for the jasmine and the honeysuckle to make their appearance. I think I will keep the imp, but I don’t need a big bottle

    Gluttony

    I feel like I am buttered popcorn wearing this. I was hoping for some of the chocolate would come out, but it seems like it is mostly buttercream. I guess I don’t really love the foody scents and this one is way to foody for me.

    Tweedledum

    Fruity! I am getting lots of mango and fig. It is funny I don’t really like patchouli all that much but it sure goes nicely with fruit, who knew. It is a very bright and sunny smell that I can see wearing during the day, but not for a night out. This one is going on my wish list.

    Malice

    Sniffing the imp all I smell is the clove, really strong. I put it on anyway and I am happy I did. I am pretty sure that I say this about half of the scents I review but I am saying it again - it mellows into a very well balanced perfume. I can now smell all of the listed notes and none are over powering. It is beautiful and I want a big bottle of it.

    Skuld

    It is a sleepy musk scent, that is warm and comforting, with a touch of sensuality to it. It is like a warm bed on a Sunday morning. The strongest notes for me are the honey and the two musks. I don’t think it is particularly masculine but it would work well on a guy. I think I will keep the Imp, and think about a big bottle.

    Hellcat

    It starts of really sharp and almost acidy on me, it takes a while for it to mellow and blend, maybe an hour or so. Once it does it is quite a mischievous scent. I am getting a strong rum note with buttercream in the background, the nuts are there but so faint I have to concentrate to smell them. I like it but not enough to wait an hour for it to mellow.

    Lolita

    I pretty much only smell the lemon verbena and maybe a bit of the honeysuckle. I wish the orange blossom showed up more. I think it is too sweet and lemony for me. Reminds me of a tart lemon candy, not something I want to smell like.

    Golden Priapus

    Okay, so I know it is one of the more masculine scents, but I love it and I think I am pretty girly. The vanilla and amber makes the juniper, rosewood and pine slightly sweet. I can’t stop smelling my wrist, this is going on my wish list.

    Debauchery

    The first thing I smell is the musk and the opium and it smells great. Then the dry down happens and something goes sour on my skin, I am only guessing that it is the civet. Unfortunately this one is going in the sale pile.

    Nanshe

    There is no way I could wear this to bed it is instant headache in a bottle for me. I can’t quite figure out what note is doing it, but it isn’t working for me.

    Two, Five & Seven

    I really wanted to love it, but it goes all soapy on me, It is old grandma soap, ick. I love roses, one of my favorite notes, why oh why didn’t this work for me.

    Dirty

    The lab described this one to perfection! It is so clean and crisp, with out being soapy. I love the simplicity of it. This smells just like clean laundry in a summer breeze. I love it! I need a big bottle!

    Temple of Dreams

    All I can smell is the lavender nothing else. I love lavender so this isn’t a bad thing. It is very restful and calm and I can see how this could help someone sleep. I can’t see myself putting this on before bedtime so to the sale pile it goes.

    Lyonesse

    It is hard for me to pick out the separate notes, I get the vanilla but everything else is too blended. It is a quiet scent it is very mellow. It doesn’t have any through at all, I have to stick my noise right up to it to smell it at all. I like it but I think I can live with out a big bottle of it.
