    The Red Queen - Cherry and dark wood, sitting at my Granddad's eating cherries off miniture rapiers. Aizen-Myoo - This one doesn't stay still enough to pin down (but is always scrummy) Freak Show - Oh so comforting and relaxing, just right on a stressful day. The Winter of our Discontent: Nutmeg, sitting in a Starbucks sipping coffee liberally dusted in nutmeg and cinnamon. Caliban: Standing on the prom looking out at the sea as the tide comes in on a day when there is a slight breeze.

Astrology

  • Astrological Info
    Sun in Leo, Moon in Pisces The combination of your Sun and Moon sign brings together influences of very different natures. The confident majesty of Leo and the more regressive, fluctuating and variable traits of Pisces blend to produce what is usually a very kind-hearted and likable personality. You are genuine in your attempt to make those you are close to happy and secure. Tuned in and very aware, you have the time and sympathy to listen and try to help those around you. Emotional and sentimental, your advise and counsel comes straight from the heart. It's really hard for you to remain cool and aloof. It's also hard for you to say no to almost any sincere request, a fact that can sometimes drain you physically and emotionally. Your makeup includes a good deal of intuition, and you know well your abilities, and try to live up to your high personal ideals. You are a very honest person and find it very hard ever to fool others. Fortunately, it may be equally hard for others to fool you, for yours is an exception understanding of human nature and motives. Outwardly, you can seem aggressive and forward, a bubbling and vigorous exterior, while inwardly, you are so sensitive and sentimental, perhaps brooding and philosophic. Subject to deep thoughts, and sometimes fits of depression, you need many true friends and companions to keep your spirits up. You are likely to be a very serious person with motives that are usually the highest.

    Different smells/colors, same perfume

    I had an imp of The Red Queen which I fell in love with, so I ordered a bottle from the lab. Now when I put the imp on, I get no reaction - just the lovely cherry/woody smell. From the bottle I have a nasty allergic reaction (I put it on one morning and next thing I knew my arms, chest and neck were red and lumpy). Bah humbug!

    Catherine

    In the Bottle: I swing between liking the smell of this in the bottle and hating it - I'm not certain about the combination of rosemary and orange. I get a nice smell of the rosemary and the rose and then the orange raises it's ugly head and I hate it. On Fresh: Mellowed and then the orange hit me. Yuck! Gonna stick with it and see what happens, but for now yuck! Later: Orange! Orange! and Slightly rotten orange! Overall: Don't like it, don't want it, Bleurgh! Swapped it almost instantly

    Dragon's Musk

    In the bottle: I think my first reaction to this was "I don't want that anywhere near me," it just smelt so musky and strong I was afraid it'd overpower me entirely. On fresh: The distaste is gone! The musks have all mellowed and I have a lovely rounded smell on my wrist. Can't name anything in particular other than instead of looking slightly worried when I sniff my wrist I actually smile.

    Phantom Queen

    In the bottle: num-num-num, I smell the apples and the moss and then a tang of something else. Made me just want to put it straight on. On fresh: Dreamy and sweet, the smell you have when you lie on your back in a field and pretend the world doesn't exist anymore. Apple blossom, Meadowsweet and the hawthorn are the strongest scents. This doesn't change at all wet or dry. I love it!

    Eve

    On fresh: Baby Wipes - must be the rose and old associations with that smell. Later: Apple comes out and feels like a summer day, however every now and then the rose plays up and I get babywipes again. Overall: Uncertain, I like it when I get the apple smell combining with the roses, but when all I can smell is the roses all I think of is that I smell like I've just changed a nappy.

    Bliss

    In the Bottle: Chocolate, but chocolate that has sat out and melted in the sun. On my wrist: chocolate that has been melted and has boiled. If I hadn't accidentally spilled this on me during school I would have washed it off straight away. YUCK!

    Morella

    In the Bottle: Sage, musk and flowers... odd mix, but not unpleasant. On my wrist: A herb and flower garden. It has a musky smell, but after wearing Smut it's not unpleasant and I actually really like it.

    The Red Queen

    In the Bottle: I smell Cherries, lovely nice smelly cherries. On my wrist: Cherries! Cherries! Cherries! As it dries the wood comes out and mingles with the cherries. I just want to sniff my wrist all the time. My Cat also likes it, or at least that is my interpretation of her rubbing her head against the back of my wrist (not where the perfume is, the other side). I love this Just after writing: Wah! No more cherries! But woods, lots and lots of woods, freshly chopped wood and freshly waxed wood. I love this. Even when the cherry goes it's lovely.

    Freak Show

    In the Bottle: Lemon, Vanilla and Chocolate with a little hint of musk and fruit. On my Wrist: Vanilla and Musk, with a tang, unlike other chocolate scents this one has disappeared in preference to the Vanilla. Later: Now the chocolate starts to come out, but it is tempered by something which smells a bit like cinammon, and there is still a musky smell. (In later wearings the smell has always been slightly different, but the chocolate has never appeared until about 2 hours into wearing it - which is good for me). Overall: I love this and have taken to wearing it when I know I have a stressful day coming up at school, simply because catching a smell of it makes me smile.

    Pumpkin Patch I (2005, 2006)

    In the bottle: Apples but the smell you get just as they are reaching the gloopy stage and just as you add the spices when making apple pie (which I hate to eat but love the smell of) On my wrist: There's the apples and the spices with the pumpkin peeking in and rounding off the smell and stopping it from being too sweet. Later: I want to eat my wrist. It smells edible and gorgeous and I just want to keep sniffing it. The pumpkin has mingled with the apples and a tinge of spice, and it reminds me of sitting by a fire drinking mulled wine, whilst someone else eats apple pie and we have just eaten squash (which whilst isn't pumpkin is the closest that I have ever got to it) Overall: I love this smell. Just a pity it was a limited ed. Will keep my eye out at Halloween though and try rescue myself a bottle if they re-release it.

    Fire of Love

    A catalytic, potent love oil used to spark (or rekindle) the flame of desire between lovers. In the Bottle: I can't really pick anything out. On my wrist: Grass, lemon and cheap incense. Later: Arggh! Cheap Incense ahoy! I smell like a place that is burning 32759843 sticks of incense all which are a slightly different scent. Oh and mix that with dried on sweat and you have what I smell of. Going to wash off now. Overall: Erm.... I could cope with the cheap incense to begin with, but when it reared its head properly it was so incredibly horrible.

    Oblivion

    In the Bottle: It's green. I actually smell nothing. Nothing at all. It's like the absence of smell. On my wrist: Still nothing. Nothing stands out and I smell nothing. Later: Okay so I have a smell now. Smells like the dregs of incense after it has finished burning and is disappating, but without the earlier stronger scent. Overall: I smelt nothing at all, and I don't really want to smell of nothing. I suppose it resembles its name, but on the whole, I'd rather smell strongly of something than wear perfume and smell nothing. The musk never raised it's head once, nor did the saffron or wood spice.

    Vice

    In the Bottle: Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. I had greater hopes for this with the orange and cherry tempering it, but I can't smell them. On my Wrist: Chocolate comes first and strongly. I can just smell a bit of orange, but not a lot, the chocolate was just far too strong. Later: Still Chocolate, and it's still stronger, even the orange has given up the ghost and given up. Overall: I don't like smelling of chocolate thank you very much. I had hopes for this of cherries and orange but they just gave up and paled into insignificance.

    Lump of Coal

    In the Bottle: Ugh, chocolate, hot molten chocolate. I smell no fudge! Where is my fudge? On my Wrist: Chocolate is overpowering me, I hates the smell of melted chocolate, it just makes my stomach turn. Overall: This leapt straight into the post and was sent to a friend who likes chocolate.

    Tiresias, the Androgyne

    From the bottle: Cinnamon and caramel with a fading whiff of black currant. At First: Oooh... cinnamon, caramel and tobacco, this actually smells good. Later: Behind the bike sheds, the ash from the forbidden cigarettes swirls in the wind and the goth girl is leaving after getting off with her boyfriend. The combination of the smells swirl together and combine with the discarded carton of blackcurrant juice. Overall: I don't like smelling like behind the bike sheds. Tiresias is getting firmly put into the swaps box. It's giving me a headache.
