My first try of Bruja was delightful! The myrrh was very pronounced and kept the lilac tempered. A second application (a few weeks later) produced a sour flower smell on me. Maybe it's a hormonal thing, but I keep finding the floral too overpowering -- and just a tad bit "off" on me (but not in the bottle). I'll put this one up for swap.

What a sweet sniff! Sadly, this is not the sort of smell that I like to wear at all. Hamadryad is about the "lightest" I am willing to go. I smelled the champagne throughout, and the fruit note was stronger in the vial than on me. Maybe my skin picks up the sweeter notes and "ups" them? Too sweet for me.

After reading the reveiws of smelling like a hot, sexy night out, I could not wait to try Kali. In the bottle: sticky, overly sweet honey hit me. On my skin: too much of the honey remained, and not enough of the "darker" notes came forth to balance. It was quite nice on my skin, but I want something heavier and darker.

On me, I don't smell any of the cinnamon, but I do get the woody/mossy scent very strongly. I love it. There's an aquatic note there as well. It smells (on me) exactly of Demeter's Wet Garen, which I love. This lasts so much longer than Demeter's scent, which is a bonus. I will purchase this in a 5ml.
