I'm getting a slight licorice vibe at first, not very much though. After a bit, it's a mild patch and licorice. Further on, less licorice, medium patch and more fruits come out. This is quite nice, it reminds me a bit of a little sister to Mme Moriarty. It's got a different patch, and different fruits. I quite like this, it's bright and sultry/sexy at the same time.

Very 'green' at first, in a weed-like sort of way. Dry, totally different. I'm getting mostly mint and something tart, must be the red currant. This is so well blended, not what I expected at all. I thought that this would be a fruity blend, but not so. It's a fresh, minty, tart lovely blend. It kind of reminds me of a mojito. I really like this, I may upgrade to a partial.
eta: Whoops, I'm detecting fungus after a bit.
Sometimes certain bpal blends do this to me. No upgrade necessary.

I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what this reminds me of. Hmm, lots of black musk and resins. Why I do believe this is very much like Panther Moon! It may be a teeny bit less musky, but very similar indeed. I really like this, but rarely wear scents like this out in public. I may hunt down a partial or another decant.
-
Dark and spicy indeed. Black leather at first, kind of aggressive and manly. Pepper then comes out, and I find it to be a black leather mostly with non sweet spice. Aggressive and dark. May smell great on the right guy, but this is not for me.
-
Kind of a mild mint at first. Dry, the ambergris comes out, and the mint fades to the background. It ends up being ambergris with a touch of something dusty. Not getting any berry, moss, or kelp. This is kind of nice, but fades fast on me.
-
Really strong mint at first, it is pretty much powering over everything. There may be a bit of musk in the background, I'm getting a teeny dusty vibe which white musk sometimes does. This reminds me a lot of Lick It Vigorously on me. Mostly mint, don't need anymore as I already have LIV.

First sniff, kind of like Tattered Lace only fruitier. Drier, I knew this reminded me of something, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what. Then the reviewer above me mentioned Red Lace. Yes, this is very much like Red Lace only slightly fruitier and less musky and resinous. I like this, but have Red Lace and Tattered Lace to fulfill my lace needs. This one also smells a bit metallic, whih is kind of off-putting for me.
-
In the imp, kind of smoky. Reminds me of vetiver. Dries to a floral incense to me, only just slightly aquatic. It's almost fruity in a way. I don't mind this, it's quite nice, but fades fast.
-
I'm getting strong incense, kind of like poppy. This blend reminds me kind of Arachnina from the CD, only there is rose. After a bit, the rose dominates, so it's an incensey, resinous rose with the sandalwood poking it's head out. The whole effect is kind of reigns on soapy territory, though an expensive soap. It is kind of sensuous, but it's just a bit too soapy for me.
-
This smells exactly like those hard lemon candies. Dry, different story, kind of like a lemon lotion with baby oil. I really like lotion scents for some reason, they are soft and comforting to me, especially this one. It is definitely not masculine to me, it is soft, feminine and womanly without being sexy. Something how a mother would smell like holding her brand new baby. I like this.
-
Whew, this is STRONG on the jasmine. A little dab'll do you! Not getting much else, except for a bit of sourness, which I'm guessing is the rose. After a bit, there's something chewy and candylike, maybe that's the fig. This is definitely a jasmine heavy blend on me though.
-
This is kind of astringent and evergreen-like with a touch of smoke. This is really vile on me.
-
This is the 2013 version. Quite similar at first to the previous incarnation, but less fruity lavender and more florally lavender. Dries to a soft, powdery lavender. I still like this, but I still have a bottle of the previous version. (I did go through one already). Similar enough not to bother with a new one.
-
Musky apples and drugstore perfume. Not for me.
-
Woody and mentholated at first. I'm getting the fresh, green smell of leaves as well. After a bit, kind of soapy, slightly manly, still astringent and mentholated. I'm not really digging this, but I bed it would smell great on the right guy.
-
This pretty much smells like lavender and jasmine to me. Not a nice combination.
-
I thought this would be sweet and flowery, but tis not the case! Right off, this is a woody blend, with a bit of sweetness, probably from the honey. I still find it more masculine than feminine, but it definitely smells sexy. I probably wouldn't wear this, but may pass it on to a guy. It kind of reminds me a bit of Antikythera Mechanism.
-
Seems to be a balance of red currant and ginger at first, with a touch of honey. After a bit, no ginger, mostly red currant with a touch of honey. This is a little too fruity to me, I actually with the honey and ginger were more dominant and the red currant was in the background.
-
Dark, sweet and sexy this one is! Thought it was an incensey berry, but must be the fig. I love honey, and it loves me, so this one is quite nice on me. There's a bit of tang here as well. Not really getting any clove or floral.

King Mandarin is a refreshing, tart, opulent citrus oil. The scent is uplifting and cheering and creates a strong sense of well-being. It is a relaxing fragrance that promotes sensuality through delight.
Oh poo, there's nothing in the imp. http://www.bpal.org/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/icon_sad.gif There's just a bit to swipe on my wrist, and it does smell exactly like a mandarin orange, right down to the pith. Quite refreshing, I wish I had more. -

This really smells like night blooming jasmine to me. I'm wondering if it is the combination of notes that is making me think this. Quite heady, floral, light and womanly. Not really for me, but I do enjoy these types of scents on occasion. Especially in the middle of winter.
-
Holy vetiver at first, along with the licorice. They are fighting, but the vetiver is winning
Pretty much all vetiver with a hint of licorice. I'm not a big vetiver fan, but I do like it for it's medicinal properties. Pretty harsh, green and smoky.
eta: after a bit, the two seem to be more equal. Nice masculine scent.

What I'm mostly getting first is ginger, capital G! Gradually a foody note creeps in, so it's like gingerbread now, extra spicy. After a bit, I'm getting coffee, now where did that come from?? Kind of like enjoying a latte (yes, there's a creamy quality), along with some gingerbread. Not my cup of tea..(bad), but foodie lovers may like this one.

White musk usually doesn't play nice, but I thought I'd give this a try. This ends up being a candied lemon verbena, slightly herbal and dusty. Not for me, as I like my citrus blends clear, fresh and sharp, not dusty herbal.
