    Milk Moon 2005

    I got my bottle last week and was thrilled when I sniffed it in the bottle. Milky and creamy, and vaguely reminded me of Dia de los Muertos (I love that for the "creamy" scent). So I was greatly looking forward to wearing something like this. On application though, things got dicey. I quickly picked up a scent I could only describe as musky, but that didn't quite cover it. Within ten minutes, I could only describe the smell on me as milk going bad, very quickly. I scrubbed it off as much as possible and left for work. Such a shame too, that I have to put the lovely into my trade/sell pile.

    Decadence

    I got this in my order yesterday and decided on a whim to wear it today. Love the spicy and almost citrus scent and got very excited to see it was NOT out yet. (Awww, my first unreleased in an order.) I wish I knew what was also in here aside from the cinnamon, because normally I am not as big a fan of the scent. It's only been on me for about 20 minutes and I want to put on more just so I can smell more like this!

    De Sade

    Received this as a freebie imp. This is one dead on description. In the bottle and on my skin it smells like leather. I can't imagine actually wearing it though, seems too strong for my tastes.

    Crossroads

    I received an imp of this in the order that I got yesterday and decided on a whim to try it today. And I can't stop smelling myself, I've fallen hard and fast in LUST with this scent. I couldn't even adequately describe what I smelling, but it just smells so earthy without being the smell of dirt. I definitely will be picking up a bigger bottle of this.

    Santa Muerte

    In the bottle and first application: Ooooh, honey! And a slight baby-powder undertone Drying: Some kind of exotic flower I couldn't tell you the name of. Very nice, not overpowering. Dry: A lesser scent of the exotic florals. Ah, if only it lasted longer. I do enjoy this scent!

    Chimera

    I put this on this morning to test it out, and it's just not working for me. It seems to have a nutty scent, which I suspect is from the honeysuckle. I have a fairly high aversion to nut smells, as I have an asthmatic reaction to eating nuts. I actually like honeysuckle, but I find it can be very overpowering. Shame.

    Dragon's Musk

    I'm wearing this today and am falling in hard lust for this scent. I adore both dragon's blood and musk on their own, and they do wonders on my skin. So to have them mixed and on my skin... it's like heaven to me. They blend so well and smell obscenely wonderful.

    Eidolon

    In the bottle and first application: Very citrusy, along the lines of lemon or grapefruit. a tone underneath I couldn't originally identify but is likely the verbena. While I like the scent on its own, it's not a scent I can see myself wearing with any sort of regularity. I wound up scrubbing much of it off before I left the house this morning. EDIT: Even though I scrubbed, some scent lingers, and as it does I am picking up more of an herbal scent underscoring the lemon scent.

    Kabuki

    in bottle: cherries galore on application: more cherries! Oddly, when I wore this yesterday, I was reminded of cherry cough drops and syrup. Could be the whole start of winter thing. Drying, the cherries linger, but the anise and musk are starting to come out. I am very curious to smell red musk on its own sometime to determine how it really is interacting with the other two notes. This one ranks very high on my favorite list so far, and not just because I am a little nuts for things Japanese.

    Yggdrasil

    It almost seems cheesy of me to say this, but the best description I can find for both in-bottle and on skin scent is otherwordly/etheriel forest. However, I find it quite fitting for the World Tree to smell as such. I can't identify what the woods and herbs used are (though I could take guesses after a few more tries), but the effect is not at all overpowering. This is DEFINITELY an oil to get if you're Heathen/Asatru, ESPECIALLY if you're close with Odin. (Nothing like a blue and black shirt, valknut pendant and this scent to start off a Wednesday.)

    Frost Moon

    I got mine in the mail yesterday, and after my squealy joy and letting it warm, I took a whiff. In bottle: Heavenly and heavily peppermint scent, reminds me of the homemade peppermint patties I got when I was a kid. Underlying note of woodsiness from the eucalyptus. Put it on today Wet: Wow, something about me makes the mint smell poof (or perhaps it smelled so minty in bottle thanks to the cold temps), picking up hard on the lotus and "aquatic scents." Drying: This one wins an award for being easy to smell without having to put skin to nose. The lotus is coming out more and more, good thing I ADORE lotus. Dry: Still keeping the lotus smell after over 5 hours, and there's a hint under it that I can't place. It reminds me of the smell of being indoors in a warm place when it's very cold out. I am SO hoarding this!

    Bliss

    Chocolate? I have to confess, this morning I opened my imp of Bliss and was hit with a hard scent of nuts. So hard that almost two hours later I STILL hav a headache. I'm allergic to tree nuts, they set off my asthma. I encounter them so rarely that I am very sensitive to their scent and taste now. The imp instantly went to my give-away pile. Damn shame, as I've become a total brat for chocolate. I just didn't smell it at all.
