    Frederic

    Wet on my skin, Frederic is rum, musk, and woods. Dry, there's also a hint of tea rose and currant. This is gorgeous.

    The Raven

    Wet on my skin, The Raven is violet with a hint of sandalwood. Dry, it's just violet. While I love violet, I think I'll let The Raven age and see if the other notes come out.

    The Passionate Shepherd To His Love

    Heather, clover, Irish moss, English ivy, tea rose, and carnation. On me, The Passionate Shepherd is ivy and moss over carnation with a hint of tea rose. It's very pretty. While it's not my usual scent, I do like it and I'm glad I bought a bottle.

    Smut

    Wet on my skin, Smut '08 is a lot of booze and a little sugar. It reminds me of a GC, Grog maybe. Dry, it's musk and booze and no sugar. I love it.

    Her Voice

    On me, Her Voice is a very green plant smell. I think I can smell floral notes, but they're way in the back. It's like someone handed me a bouquet stems-first. It's not a bad smell, but definitely not what I'm looking for. Someone else can have this.

    Queen Gertrude

    On me, Queen Gertrude is mostly violet with some wisteria. It's a deep violet, closer to Saturnalia than Faith. There isn't much throw -- I had to apply more than usual to get the level of throw I'm used to. Still, it's very pretty.

    The Flower Song

    On me, The Flower Song is just pomegranate wine. It's note the same pomegranate note that's in The Fruit of Paradise or Persephone, but it's hard to say how they're different. I love it, though, and I'm so glad I have a bottle.

    The Ragged Wood

    On me, The Ragged Wood is just soapy pine. I dearly hope age will improve it.

    Valentine of Rome

    On me, Valentine of Rome is cypress, incense, frankincense, and myrrh. It's a neutral scent that's very sexy. I'm so glad I got a bottle.

    Rapture

    On me, Rapture is rose, jasmine, and a little neroli. It's pretty but I was expecting more. Maybe age will improve it.On me, Rapture is rose, jasmine, and a little neroli. It's pretty but I was expecting more. Maybe age will improve it.

    Perversion

    I'm a little amazed by Perversion -- it's a blend of more than three notes where I can actually smell every note that's listed, instead of my skin eating half of them. And it smells pretty good on me. I'm getting rum and chardonnay the most (booze loves my skin), but the tobacco, leather, and tonka are there too, in the back. It's neutral, bordering on masculine, but not so much that a woman can't wear it.

    Salomé

    Wet on my skin, Salomé is sandalwood single note. Dry, the sandalwood is replaced by jasmine over a little musk. This is lovely.

    Bordello

    On me, Bordello is a juicy, sugary plum over booze. It's definitely a cousin to Midwinter's Eve. I love it and I can see myself wearing it often.

    Whip

    On me, Whip is just the damp red rose. The leather isn't showing at all. I'm hoping age will bring it out.

    Bat-Woman

    Wet on my skin, Bat-Woman is a soapy white floral. Dry, all I think I'm getting is moonflower and lavender. And the soap. I'm blaming this one on my hormones, so I'll try it again in a week or so.

    The Death Of Sardanapal

    On me, The Death of Sardanapal has a top note of honey, a middle note of red wine, and a base note of myrrh. It's very sexy and heady. Unfortunately, it started to burn so I had to wash it off. Someone else can enjoy this one.

    Queen of Sheba

    I love the way Queen of Sheba smells. Honey, almonds, and spice, so good. Unfortunately, it burned, so someone else can enjoy it.

    Oblivion

    Wet on my skin, Oblivion's a sexy, spicy woods and musk scent. Unfortunately, it started to burn. This may be one worth getting a scent locket for.

    Parlement of Foules

    On me, Parlement of Foules is just tea rose. I think the resins might be hiding, so I'm hoping age will bring them out.

    Suspiro

    Wet on my skin, Suspiro is mostly jasmine with lilies in the background. Dry, the plum is also present. This is lovely!

    The Black Tower

    Wet on my skin, I get red wine wafting from my neck, but on my wrist, it smells like tobacco, which I know isn't listed. Dry, The Black Tower is wine, tobacco, maybe some leather, and woods. It's very masculine on me, but I love it.

    Spellbound

    On me, Spellbound is roses and amber, no musk. Up close, the roses smell fine, but the waft is a little soapy around the edges. This is nice but not what I was hoping for. I'll age it and see if it improves.

    Loup Garou

    Wet on my skin, Loup Garou is juniper and eucalyptus. Very nice. The eucalyptus vanished as it dried, but the juniper is still amazing. A new favorite.

    The scents that get you the most compliments?

    The only scent I've had multiple compliments on so far is Moon Rose. I love that one and I'm glad others do too. I wish more people would ask me what I'm wearing.

    Maiden

    Wet on my skin, Maiden is carnation and rose over tea. Dry, the carnation is gone. This is nice but I preferred the wet stage.
