In the imp and wet: Rose, rose and more rose... Dry: The rose is toned down with a bit of gardenia. I didn't think I would like this very well, enough to buy more since I have a lot of rose fragrances, but the gardenia gives Marguerite an edge over all the other rose blends. I do think I have to be careful though, because I think Marguerite wants to give me a headache. I'll put her on lighter next time. But I WILL put her on again.

No booze at all for me. I smell vanilla and tobacco and leather. The vanilla is steady and the other two pop in and out, weaving and competing to be the last note I detect in any one sniff (and there have been many since I put this one on this morning). I also get a little spice with that tobacco now. LOVE.

Oya most beautiful! Cherry almond concluding with a sour bite both in the imp and wet. When it dries, however, it turns softly sweet with a hint of musky incense. I think Oya is magnificent.

I have to agree with fairnymph on this one- it is very heady and warm. I detect jasmine and carnation (two of my absolute faves). There's also a bit of orange that cuts into the super sweet floral and tones it down a little. I do believe I will have a bottle of this.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! This is dark and heady and incense and deep floral. No bright or white anything here. Gorgeous.

No lemony goodness for me. All I get from Murder of Crows is herbs. Not bad but definitely not what I would have expected.

Lemon and mint. Definitely clears the head. I find that I DO need more than one dose because my head is filled with such extraneous chatter. One good whiff is enough to get me back on track for a while longer.

Magdalene starts out on me very sharp and grassy. But that hint of sweet floral is right there too, almost like an aftertaste (aftersniff?). When it dries, the grass vanishes and I am left with soft floral. This scent will not be in my top ten, but it is comforting and pretty.

Definitely musky and a lovely scent for a man. Not for me.

I agree that this scent is hard to pin down. And my untrained nose is unable to pick out anything as far as particular notes. I wouldn't know ozone if it hit me in the butt with a lightning bolt. All I can add (which has already been said and said and said again) is that it is dark. I don't detect anything remotely citrus. Maybe an incense. A powdery incense.

I wouldn't say that I dislike Masabakes, but she definitely is not terribly fond of me. In the imp: Sharply sweetness- currant and mimosa? I have no nose to speak of so I am just guessing on these. DAMN I wish single notes were still sold. I would love to have references. Wet: Why am I smelling grass? Dry: Mildly sweet and powdery. If I squint slightly, I detect play doh.

This started out incredibly sour and turned grassy/floral pretty quickly. Incredibly long lasting. I can still (16 hours later) smell a soft powdery floral.

Super-sweet floral, drying down to a more manageable bouquet. Nice, but not outstanding.

Just gorgeous. I love dragon's blood like nothing else. It is sweet but powerful. NOT a slathering scent but one to use sparingly or it becomes overpowering.

In the imp: Lemon cleaning product... Pledge maybe? Definitely artificial and almost chemical in nature. Wet: Lemon candy... OK, this is getting better Dry: Sweet tea. The lemon is gone. S'okay but not incredible.

Ophelia is a raving card carrying ROSE on my skin. Just rose. All rose. All the time.

I find that Paris screams LAVENDER!!!! Since I am quite fond of lavender, this is not necessarily a bad thing. I could have sworn (before reading the description) that I smelled bergamot in there too. I suppose it just either the lotus or the spices playing with my nose. It was not terribly long lasting on me, which is sad...

In the imp and wet, I found this to be a very clean scent... lemony goodness abounding. Dry: The lemon moves into the background and amber comes to the fore. Shame that this did not last very long at all on me. It is a lovely scent.

Sweet sweet sweet!!! Akuma reminds me of Kool Aid wet. After the dry down, it reminds me of a cologne I had as a child. But after a few more minutes, it settles into raspberry and orange fizzy. Wow. What a blast from the past. I loved to watch the tablets fizz but never wanted to actually drink it. This might stand a better chance with me.

Beautificous. I love this scent. It goes all spicy musk on me. I look like an idiot walking around with my nose glued to my wrist. Ask me if I care. LOVE.

Just beautiful- that's what this scent is. Warm, musky powdered honey. The myrrh and ylang ylang are lovely together. This is definitely bottle-worthy.

Lovely. In the imp and wet: I smell the calla lily and sandalwood. Dry: The sandalwood warms up and the frankencense steps in as well. It is, IMO, a cool weather fragrance as it is sweet/spicy.

To the untrained nose *points at self* this is Snake Oil set at 11. In the imp and wet, I don't get salt or bayou or aquatic anything. Just snake oil. I can taste it in the back of my throat when I get a whiff. That is how strong it is. Now that it's drying down, I am picking up playdoh, which I know is my version of vanilla. And something mildly sweaty. And something that reminds me vaguely of iodine. Salty? Maybe. Bayou or aquatic? Who knows.

In the imp: Cleaning product smell. Wet: Lavender... the cleaner is gone and lovely lavender remains. Dry: Gone. Nothing. Vanished. Where'd it go? Will say that I took a nap and it was totally dreamless. YAY.

In the imp and wet: MOLASSES!!!!! Dark, sticky and sweet. Dry: Burnt sugar. My teeth just might fall out.
