This Goddess. As truly stunning as any amber, opulent and wearable. Mesmerizing, as the millions of decades of amber have been in existence, glowing with sensuality and beauty. As true to its essence as amber can be - a perfectly resinous amber absolutely without any harshness. I see this as a companion scent for Shadow, opulent, rich and voluptuous, it makes me feel exquisitely womanly, exotic and alluring. Magnificently blended, the notes come to the surface in various ways, giving me little whiffs of ecstasy. Effortlessly sexy, this is hot, warm skin in a bottle that makes you want to get closer, all wrapped up in a cashmere embrace. It has a vintage vibe, a deep, sensual hippy vibe, deep and seductive while it works it's swirlywhirly magic. Full of emotion, of lust, love, bliss, mystery and LIFE with all of its dimensions. Don't be afraid to embrace her with all of your being. She will give you back more that what you ever dreamed.

"Many a scrubland have I wandered and came across a honeysuckle vine and under it alone I sat and cried, tears of honey and wine." Jitterbug Perfume, Tom Robbins Sweet and whimsical, vulnerable, yet playful I can almost hear the Goddess laugh. Fresh and clean, imagine a crisp, white-eyelet ruffle petticoat, drop-and-roll down the green grassy meadow. This is such a sugary pleasure to my nose. It opens wild and absolutely amazing, sweet, but still somehow creamy which delights me very much. Here the jasmine is not "heady" or "too much". It is divinely well blended and never overpowers the composition. I find this to be extremely feminine yet youthful, romantic, cheerful and inviting. Perfect for a humid, summer night filled with drinking, dancing and a bunny romp or two.

I’m not sure if I can fully describe just how amazing this brown cat is. The bourbon vanilla comes round and envelopes the smoky cedar, becoming a cozy warm bubble of delicious warmth. All of this surrounds me and becomes a musky, better than skin...and meow hiss~ purrrrrrr, almost forbidden, private and exclusive scent when skin close. This is like sinking your face into a friend's fur collar in a wooded grove, or taking a long-haired lover by the fire. Extremely intimate, meaningful and special.

Dark, almost muddy patch upon application, it's really earthy and I'm left looking for the "midnight raven" I was hoping for. Thankfully, the dank wood settles down into smoky resins, while the dark, gloomy sweet, violet resins warm up to float atop. After a couple minutes, the drydown is all glistening blackest purple notes. Simple, yet great. Dry, yet slightly sweet, rather silky, and smooth. There's a palpable, silky, mellow woody feel at the very base. A black floral opaline scent, the smell of feathers and dusty wings, luminous and decadent, and so nicely resinous-almost silvery. The violet is there, although much restrained, just a drop of color. After a while it gets velvety like the night sky, quite unique in its own way and wonderful on my skin.

Oh, dazzling Zorya moon, how illuminating you are. Full of lunar rays, glowing in the neverending darkness with your chilled, silver light. When I wear this, I wake up the whole world with me! It truly shines too bright and euphoric, but what a glorious, wild shine. It is slightly metallic, like the scent of crystals, glass shards and tilted frozen moonflowers under the thin, spring ice. A very celestial scent indeed.

SWEET orange-banana bwak-bwak! I remember eating WAY too many circus peanuts as a kid. This takes me back to sticking my nose in the bag and going to town and back with a tummy ache. Banana candy bottle sniff and after application, the tang citrus note amps on me first then blends to become a sugary, childlike dreamsicle scent overall. It's a super fun, giggles and sunshine pretty scent. I could see wearing this to an itty-bitty bikini party in Malibu, you know the kind with the paper umbrella drinks and smooth beats. If only this chicken could magically transport/transform me and my winter chunky-monkey bod. Yep, this would be perfect for wee tiny kids, and it seriously fades fast, 30 minutes tops on me, if that.

My package just arrived, but wanted to share first thoughts before the next release hits. The label makes me grin it's so dang cute! Bottle sniff is pretty much some kind of red fruit jelly, but i'm also getting a little bit of purple grape too. It does have a tiny bit of greasy fried donut in the background. YUMMY Wowza, this is amazing I'm still kinda looking for the snake oil because it's barely there giving it an exotic rattle, but yah this gives me so much joy and I just want a mountain of warm, oozy donuts now. This makes me HUNGRY ~ Where are my elastic waist pants?

Expansive and bizarre, i'm getting a great big coffee note along with swisher sweets and creamy sundae notes. This smells like sitting in an ice cream parlor, eating a melty sundae while drinking coffee and someone is smoking sweet tobacco outside. It is very exotic and mysterious, all the strange notes meld together and become a magnificent incense blend that is really quite wearable like the darkest, gothic purple smoke cloak. Reminds me of a darker, dirty Dusky Shroud and the only thing the goat note adds is "delicious"

This must be crafted from the finest of components, because it is richly divine. Just after application, the delicious bay rum and opulent amber appear first, with something I can only describe as smelling "charcoal grey" from the oudh that grounds the sweetness. Seductive and addictive, it finishes with a caramelized vanilla sugar cozy smell that warms me all over, like nuzzling with lover by the fireplace. Please have your way with me sexy Shadow.

Unfortunately, this takes me back to the time when I drank WAY too many vodka cranberry orange juice drinks and found myself hurling the night away. There's a twist of an acidic note that keeps this going like the warm, fruity quiff it is. Also, even though I put a tiny dab on, it seemed to expand and grow into a mess of notes and cloying, musky warmth. It's got some serious throw and even after several hours, the tangy mess was still hanging around, making me feel ultimately nauseous. I'm sure this would be glorious, fruity red musk patch on most, but something about it sucker-punched my scent memories in the gut.

What a delight this is. Big, soft droplets of rain while the sun is shining, mist rising up from the ambrosia and CRASHBOOM! Cloudbursting. Really, this absolutely smells like dancing naked in the grass during a hot, rolling storm singing for Heathcliff. As it dries, I am intrigued - it's like smelling poetry. Amazingly balanced and blended, the airy notes go back and forth between the musk, the mist and the sweetness. Sexy, fresh and fairylike enchanting.

Cardinal water: moonlight dancing on the dark waters of a brooding, fertile river. This blend refines your intuition, sharpens your wit (perhaps too sharply?), and expands your emotional breadth. It is a scent of tenacity and eloquence, wry humor, and profound loyalty. Spring violets, white sandalwood, star jasmine, and cucumber with drops of lemon balm and mugwort. Blind Bottle Purchase from the lab. I'm a moon child Cancer and had to have it. IN THE BOTTLE: Water, cucumbers and unidentified flowers, but they "smell" bluish-light-purple. WET: Bitter floral. I'm not liking the wet. It reminds me of the water from a week old Tuberose vase. Pretty sure this is the Mugwort. Oh-no. DRY: After 15 minutes, the bitterness completely fades and Cancer turns into a breathtaking, watery floral. The blend of the floral with the cucumber squirt keeps it dewy with it's aquatic magic. I can also detect the smooth woodiness of the Sandalwood, giving it sweetness and depth. NOTES: While wearing this I am transported. Just now I was back in a bright, rocky northeastern shore. Walking along the crashing surf looking for shells. Starsign Cancer, represented by the Yin-Yang cannot exist without a balance of light and dark; goodness and sorrow. The harsh beginning of Beth's Cancer is a bitter blast of the beauty that is to come: after wearing this for a short time, it turns into the most beautiful, silver-blue jewel. I'm not sure if anyone but a water baby would understand the story this Starstruck fragrance tells, but it's definitely worth including in my collection-forever. It is a rare silver blossom floating in a crystal-blue-green sea. "Little Green", a song about a child born under the star sign Cancer always makes me cry a little when I hear it. "Just a little green Like the color when the spring is born There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow Just a little green ​Like the nights when the Northern lights perform There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow." Joni Mitchell - Little Green

A medicinal camphor hits first and then transforms into something just a bit like long ago smoked cigarettes. The incense notes have a dark resinous, sappy tone that transforms this into a deeply earthy scent, almost like the ashtray was made out of an old log covered with drippy resins. I'm also getting loamy notes, along with something like rain and creosote that grounds the whole thing and gives it sharp teeth. This is way too smoky, crumbly burned wood charcoal for it to be big-bottle worthy for me, but if you are a fan of darkly cloaked romantic scents, it's definitely worth a try and might even blow your mind.

Check out Luper- Entertaining the Heian Court Maiden because Comedy Queen dried down to practically the same scent on me. Also, the honey in Womb Fury is very similar along with the Swift as Light, Krysee and O mentioned above. Honestly, any of these are BETTER than Comedy Queen but I totally understand chasing something because of the notes In terms of GC's and/or things in stock: Pandy, Katharina, Jiggery Pokery, and kindof a stretch but similar, Hollywood Babylon.

Take the fair face of the Pageant Queen (AKA Buckhead Betty) and decorate her with flowers, diamonds, and a splash of glittering fougeres. That's right, this queen is all beautiful glitter, and rhinestones in the spotlight. Ethereal, iridescent and echoing some of the lab's most sparking scents, this queen is mysterious and smiling with innocent joy.This is totally taking a stroll through the Neiman Marcus perfume counter. Where's my crown?

Silver champa smoke swirls through this. Clean, clear and ringing like a holy temple, it's very much like gong meditation when the sound and the vibration reverberates through the body, pushing out cobwebs and clutter. Exotic and sweet, it becomes a sulty second skin scent on me, a bit like I've just been scrubbed down by sacred white light. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1X6jFIrPrk

This smells a bunch different than other strawberry scents i've tried and only slightly like the '12 Strawberry Moon I used to have. I'm getting summer days in the sun-warmed woods, pulling tiny, barely pink strawberries from my pockets, tearing off the fuzzy caps and eating them by the handful. Much of the time strawberry scents can go dollhead, gourmand or just too "pink", but this one grassy, dandelion sappy and green, I-just-rolled-in-the-forest scent, not a hint of soap or anything unnatural.

Regal with notes of creamy primrose and honeysuckle nectar glistening within a sweetly scented aura. I'm making some wild guesses at the notes here, but it is definitely sparkling, glowing and illuminated. This is relaxed elegant femme, floating through the air, as clean and completely effortless. Soft and welcoming with lots of airy musk, it exudes seduction with a slightly hypnotic presence and HAUTEDAMN perfect for the Texas heat. I'm crazy for sparkling florals, but MEDIA is a shining star that is softly enveloping, addicting and makes me dance in the spotlight~

Rich, sublime red musk wafts swirl around me, along with a sweet, deep incense type smokiness that I adore. I'm not getting much, if any metallic blood musk or entrails thank goodness. It's very "regal" in a way and has a poise and seductiveness which makes it sacred, even incandescent overall. This is by far, my favorite of the Idus Martiae, elegantly encapsulating the atmospheric realism of the event while being incredibly sexy.

Sharp and strong weird apple at first! Ruh-roh Shaggy. I cannot wear apple. I've tried SO many apples and finally gave up. I just had to try, one last time because I adore all the other notes here--besides apple. After a few minutes, I can tell, this just might be my HG of APPLE. The patch moves forward, lifting the herbal lavender along with it. Then, the fluffy vanilla cream steps in to pack a great big PUNCH of SMOOTH. YES! Oh, this is really divine. Almost another version of TKO with more spice, apple musk and fluff. MINE!

Sex Toys for Women's Pleasure ~ Soft, sueded, sweet champa coconut on my skin. Warm, glowing and golden, i'm transported to a magical shop filled with ringing chimes, crystals and floating smoke. This is very much like a sister to the other PP scent Fake News, except the highlight here are the glittering, Champaca resins. Wearable and elegant, this makes me feel like a bell ringing, scarf twirling, sun-kissed gypsy with a strap on.

Back in the stoneage, I was well known for my black clove cigarettes. My gawd they were smelly I'm pretty sure a cloud of clove followed me around everywhere, and I even remember a few complaints. I was also seriously goth (still) but scent wise, my heart belonged to Snake Oil. Fast forward to now, smelling this queen it's very much spicy clove up front, but I also detect the deep, swirling menacing patchouli in the background. The sweetness of the clove is reminiscent of my dark, smoky days that drift in and out of midnight laced memories. This is definitely dark and sultry, but after complete dry down, I'm also getting a BUNCH of absinth now. This would be the perfect dark concert scent - deep, exotic, bewitching and ready to move you to black, stained tears.

Big, fluffy spun sugar honey wafts at the start of this Queen. The floral is in the background on me, mostly giving the honey a delicate thread of orange blossom. I could SWEAR there's some jasmine (pee-pee) lurking in here! Very reminiscent of Womb Fury, except the dry down is total PINK cotton candy instead of smoky, sugary Snake Oil. It's also reminding me of Entertaining the Heian Court Maiden, so it could be the honey note that is a common thread. It's really sexy, warm and just a tiny bit woodsy, I can actually see this deepening with a bit of aging and possibly going spectacular.

Mysterious and heady, Witch Queen is sexy, epic "NOIR", and quite possibly my favorite within the Gaiman collection. This reminds me of walking into a magick shop full of crystals, wind chimes and purple smoke. The drydown is haunting, sultry, and adds a bit of overall mystic to this twilight jewel. An Oriental fantasy, she is the beautiful Witch who tempts you with sweet smelling berries that after one whiff transport you into velvet lined caves with amethyst caverns. Perfectly balanced and stunning, the notes swirl together: you are either dancing inside the circle in unison with the Queen, or you are crushed by her spell. This fragrance makes me feel powerful and yet playful, glamorous, witchy and beloved.

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, pink columbine, delphinium, pink carnation, peony, and muscari, dusted with pink sugar and honey, bourbon vanilla and a touch of the first strawberries of the season. Just after application, I'm getting a wonderful mix of mostly peony and spicy carnation. This is a gorgeous blend of some of my favorite girly florals with a tiny bit of strawberry which I would call more of a tart berry blossom. It's sweet, but not in a candy sweet way which makes this pinky more mature than some of the earlier, candy sweet versions. Imagine sinking your face into a big bouquet made of perfect spring with just the right amount of spice to make it sexy. The honey is barely there, and seems to be mixing with the daffodil to warm things up. I'm also getting the silvery moon lunar note when I smell up close. It's really nice and makes it all crystalline and illuminated. The dry-down plumps up and takes on a bit more of the pink sugar, but it's balanced by the spiciness of the carnation and remains like the sweetness of a nectar filled flower, rather than cloying cottoncandy. I'm looking at the moon through heart-shaped, rose-tinted glasses and it smells like happiness.
