    Sunflower

    Sunflower bouquet, black amber, creeping black moss, wilted greenery, and scorched, dry stems. Unfortunately, I get nothing from Sunflower except a soapy floral scent. Not for me.

    Kathmandu

    On me, Kathmandu is mint, spice, and wood, like a really fancy toothpaste. Definitely not me.

    Malediction

    On me, Malediction is more patchouli than vetiver. It's a very deep, dark scent and while interesting, it's not me.

    Vixen

    On me, Vixen is mostly patchouli, with the other two notes in the background. Unfortunately, I keep getting whiffs of coldsore medicine (the same thing happened with Egg Nog) so I'll have to pass this on.

    Athens

    In the imp and on my skin, Athens is honey single note. It even has the consistency of thin honey. This one's definitely not staying.

    Isaac, the Living Skeleton (2006)

    On me, Isaac is caramel and booze (I'm not sure if that's the rum or the bourbon) and cologne. It's sleezy but still a little sexy. I suspect it'll age beautifully.

    Phantom Queen

    On me, Phantom Queen is just apple blossom over orchid. This is really pretty, but I'm hoping age will bring out more notes.

    The Phantom Wooer

    Wet on my skin, The Phantom Wooer started out as a clean floral. As it dried, the honey myrtle and tomb mosses took over. This is interesting but not me.

    Bat

    On me, Bat is moonflower, phlox, stock, and honeysuckle. Very pretty and feminine, and my new favorite Salon.

    Penumbra

    On me, Penumbra is lavender, neroli, pomegranate, and moonflower with a little musk. This is very sexy and a new favorite.

    Irrelevant and Disturbing Surreal Crawdad Dream

    In the bottle, Irrelevant and Disturbing Surreal Crawdad Dream (I love that name) is just blueberry, and very yummy. On my skin, it's tea, currant, and blueberry, in pretty much that order. This is nice but I'm hoping age will make it better.

    Chaos Theory IV: Edge of Chaos

    CLXVIII 168 As I feared, I'm having a hard time identifying what's in this. I think it's ozone-aquatic-fruit juice. In any case, it's a really nice scent and I'll keep it around.

    Chaos Theory IV: Edge of Chaos

    CXXXVIII 138 In the bottle, this is fruit and sugar. I can't really call it sugared fruit -- the two are definitely separate. Wet on my skin, it's fruit and cotton candy. Maybe fruit-flavored cotton candy. Dry, the fruit takes a backseat to the cotton candy, plus white sugar and powdered sugar have joined the party. Seriously, this is sweetness to the extreme. If I were to give this blend a name, it'd have to be Sugar Rush. It's a great scent, and I'm definitely keeping it.

    Lear

    In the bottle and wet on my skin, Lear is just cedar. By the time it dries, the cedar is gone, leaving behind the bay and sage, which are very strong. It's like sniffing a spice rack. Interesting, but not me.

    L'Inverno

    On me, L'Inverno is pine, plum, and flowers. It's gorgeous and a new favorite, but I'll save it for when winter comes.

    L'Autunno

    On me, L'Autunno is apple potpourri, not what I was expecting but still really good. After a while it starts to burn, so I'll use this as a room scent instead.

    The High Priest Not To Be Described

    On me, The High Priest Not To Be Described is just cinnamon (which I don't think is listed) and incense. It's an interesting combination, but not me. Someone else can have this.

    Brown Jenkin

    On me, Brown Jenkins seems to be the coconut husk, musk, and incense. I like this a lot more than I thought I would. If scents had colors, this would be orange-brown. Definitely a keeper.

    The Ghost

    On me, The Ghost is a clean (though not soapy) floral. I think the delphinium is the strongest. This one's definitely a keeper.

    Al Azif

    On me, Al Azif is maple syrup over incense resins. It gets even sweeter as it dries. If I liked maple syrup, I'd probably love this but since I don't, I'm passing it on.

    Thaleia

    In the imp and wet on my skin, Thaleia is mostly gardenia and very pretty. As it dries, a bubblegum note starts to show. Did lotus blossom crash the party? Dry, it's just orange. This is nice but I'll pass it on.

    Kurukulla

    In the imp, Kurukulla is a sour tea rose. On my skin, it's lotus-turned-bubblegum over the rose. Not horrid, but definitely not worth keeping.
  23. taramarie

    Kali

    In the imp, Kali is dark chocolate and something else, maybe wine. On my skin, however, it quickly changes to bubblegum -- the lotus morphs and amps to the point where that's all I can smell. Someone else can have this.

    Oh, the strawberries, the strawberries!

    I also agree with those that suggested Maenad, and Mania's a good strawberry blend too.

    Eden

    On me, Eden is just honeyed almond milk (accent on the almond) and toasted coconut. I'll age it and see if the fig comes out.
