Frimp. I can smell sticky sweet syrupy wine and currants. I don't think this has aged well. It still smells the same when dried, something has turned, or it's just not agreeing with my skin. Off to swaps.

Frimp. In the bottle it smells like a green, slightly piney menthol.As it dries I am getting a slight ghost of a smoke scent. Like I am walking through a pine forest and someone has a campfire going in the distance. A leather note is coming out as it dries (assuming the buckskin). I amp leather, so I feel like it may take over, which will be a shame! It's now dry and the leather isn't too strong. It's a wonderful scent. It reminds me slightly of De Sade, but less dark and moody, more woodsy. I can't tell if I want to keep it or not. I may hold onto it to see if I have an occasion to wear it.

Frimp. In the imp it smells like something in my food cupboard. A hidden chocolate stash maybe? Looking through others' responses, I can now pick out the almond. It's not too sweet or foody, which is nice. A soapy note is starting to come through now it's drying. It's getting softer as it dries, it's not unpleasant at all, but I was expecting a bit more of a WOW factor from it. It's gone slightly powdery now. I think this will go to the swaps as I don't wear powder scents any more.

I bought this purely for the bottle art as it is one of my favourite paintings. I think the frankincense is going to dominate the scent for me, but hopefully it will be wearable as I would hate to have to part with it! The bourbon vanilla is coming out to soften the frankincense as it's drying. It's turning a little soapy on me, so I'm not entirely sure when I'll wear it, but I do want to keep it.

Frimp. In the bottle it smell like a car air freshner. I know there is no rose scent in there, but it really is quite rosy. Maybe the violet has turned funny on me?! It smells too artificial on me. I think i'll pass.

Frimp. This smells like a clean scent. Looking at the notes, I am slightly dubious about the florals. It's currently drying, and it really does smell like an honest and truthful scent. I don't know how else to describe it! I can't work out if i like it. The frankincense is getting stronger though. It's definitely not an unpleasant scent, but I can't work out when I would wear it.

Frimp. I hardly want to try it. Florals are not my friend, but on it goes. Floral soap when wet. Floral soap when dry. SWAP!

Frimp. It contains my dreaded vetiver, I'll see what it does, but this is usually a note of death for me. Well, the leather is coming along but vetiver is still hanging around. It smells like a grunge club. But not in a great way. Pass.

I bought this to wear when celebrating Litha, so am not hugely bothered about the smell, as long as it isn't horrendous. I can smell heavy florals in the bottle, and something that is almost soap, but not quite. It has a good throw. When on and wet, the florals die down, and I can smell something citrusy. Nice, like the sun It's really fun and full of sunny energy

I bought this to wear when celebrating Mabon, so I am not hugely bothered about the smell (unless it's horrendous). If it's great, fab, I'll wear it more often. If it's meh, eh, at least it's only once a year. Bottle smells slightly syrupy but with a sweet medicinal tang (hops?). When on, the tang dies down nicely and is leaving me with herbal syrup. It's a lovely scent and the perfect balance of power between Lammas and Samhain!

Pumpkin spice that brothel! I've never tried Harlot before, so this will be a completely new scent to me. On first sniff I smell alcohol and spice. When on and wet t is very gourmand which isn't my cup of tea but we will see what happens as it dries (while I look up Harlot reviews). I see that rose is a main note of Harlot, but I am not getting much which is strange as I amp rose like crazy. I am just getting a cinnamon cookie smell. I can taste the cinnamon when my hand is nowhere near my nose! The spice smell is calming down, but I am still not smelling any rose.I don't think I will be wearing this one. Fine for foodies, but not for me.

Frimp. I don't like lily or florals so am scared to try this! It doesn't smell straight-up floral in the imp which is promising. It's kind of citrus-alcohol. On my wrist it smells of straight-up soap. Shame! No saving this one.

Frimp. Someone gave me a lily selection, but I hate florals. Reluctant to try this given the description. It's got quite a throw and just smells like generic floral to me. Will see what happens when it dries. Nope, need to rub it off! Old lady.

Frimp. This smells like a toilet freshner. You know the ones in white plastic that you peel the sticky label off to release the scent gel inside? This needs to do some major morphing to impress me. As this is drying it's becoming more powdery. I assume this is the cherry. I adore cherry in the bottle but it always turns to powder on me (Blood broke me). Nope this isn't doing anything for me. Off to the swap pile!

I've never tried any snow notes, or Wintery scents, but I adore honey so took a gamble on this. I was not expecting a floral The honey hides for a few hours then makes a slight appearance, but this wasn't really what I was hoping for. I bought a bottle though, so I am going to see how it ages and hope for the best.

Frimp. Smells like marzipan on me. It's drying down and a green note is coming out, maybe the fig leaf. This just keeps on morphing, I am now getting a spicy smell coming through, patchouli I think. And now floral soap; that'll be the jasmine and lilies. Almond has disappeared in under 5 minutes. It's pretty much gone in 10 minutes. Not a fan.

I think this was a frimp as I wouldn't normally order anything with vertiver in it. This smells like a male shower gel.

A welcome for the home-coming dead: an incense of dried ivy and maple leaf with honeyed fig, black cypress, and grave dirt. 2017 version. It smells really green in the imp. Once on I can smell a tiny bit of smoke as well. It reminds me a bit of vertiver, which I hate, so I hope it dies down. There's something oddly nostalgic about this, emphasis on the odd! I'm not sure I can get past this eerie feeling, it is perfect for the name of the scent though!

I love Perversion, it reminds me of an outrageously sexy/smutty dark chocolate, cherries and whipped cream. I am intrigued to see how the pumpkin spice will affect this. Wow, it's making it even better, how is that possible?? The sweetness is making it more feminine (both me and my partner are able to wear straight-up Perversion). I would totally wear this for a dirty night out. I need more than an imp of this!!

I have high hopes for this one. Don't let me down! In the bottle it smells amazing! A slightly warmer and spicily-edible snake oil. It smells a bit foody, but I am hoping that calm down. It smells like a foody snake oil. As someone above mentioned, it's not as sexy as straight-up snake oil, but beautifully warm and cosy. I want to lick my wrist, but I'll refrain.

2017 version. I have the 2016 and adore it, it is perfect for the month of October. I am intrigued to see how this differs. It smells a bit sweeter and warmer. 2016 smells like a cold, crisp, misty day in October. 2017 smells like a warm, muggy day in October. It smells quite medicinal in a sweet way. Another keeper. Very similar to last years, but better suited to a slightly warmer day. Brill!

I am slightly nervous about this, it could be great, or it could be awful. In the bottle I smell leaves and what I'm assuming is oudh. When on the plum smell comes out. It is smelling a bit like church incense when drying. I really hope that passes. I have tried 3 out of 5 bottles so far, and none are keepers as yet There was a faint urine note there for a while and I am very glad it has passed! I can smell the bitter clove now. I was hoping the plum would be more prominent in this, but it looks like my skin amps incense over fruits. I'm not sure when I will have a use for this, but I may try to mix it with some sweeter scents to see what happens.

2017 version. Ugh, I had forgotten I bought this last year, didn't realise until I saw my review! I am hoping there is enough difference for me to like it. So far so good. It reminds me of "Plum Rain" shower gel by Lush when first applied, but is now starting to mellow. Oh no, that sharp note is back. Assuming it may be the amber. Go away! It smells like generic Lush soap. I think I prefer it to last years and will keep it to see how it ages.

Smells lovely and green upon first sniff. October is my favourite month so I had high hopes with this one. As soon as I put it on I smelled soap. I sniffed my wrist at different times throughout the day, hoping the scent would change. But it didn't The soap is a lovely masculine/neutral scent, but still not what I was hoping for. Disappointed.

I can smell the pomegranate, someone mentioned a dark purple smell, which is exactly right. Like a dark, alcoholic berry syrup. I'm starting to get a soapy note and the syrup is disappearing. Not keen on this, it's a bit sharp and is leaving a chemically taste in the back of my throat.
