    Cupidity

    I really like this one! It's a cheerful, fruity scent to my nose. When it dries down it is a fruity, clean scent. Very nice. Too bad it just sold out! Maybe it'll be on Etsy...
  2. I tried this one out yesterday. I like it! It's pretty and musky. I don't really get "sex" from it like it sounds like a lot of others did, but I just like it. My husband thought it smelled like baby powder, but I really didn't get that at all. It's a bit powdery, but I find it stays mostly musky. It lasts quite well on me, too.
  3. I feel the same way about Serenity Potion. I'm holding out for now but I doubt my resolve will last long.
  4. Wheeee! My order came today! I love the pretty, St. Patrick's Day-esque (or is it spring? Or both?) green bags, too! One is green and one is like a goldy green, and I love them both! Oh, and the little star one is super-cute, too. And I love the sniffies! Thank you so much! I actually forgot I ordered all the other stuff besides the spell potions! I have tons to go through now. I haven't even gotten to the spell potions yet...I sort of want to prolong the excitement, lol.

    Eve of Darkness

    I really like this one! It smells different in the vial than it does on my skin. I like both. In the vial, it just smells sort of feminine and mysterious to me, but on my skin, it smells like Christmas! It smells so much like Christmas to me that it felt sort of strange to be wearing it in March. But oh well! It's a very pretty scent. I was a bit concerned because of the cloves, but although I think I amp them a bit, it still works. And all day, until I could get home and check the notes, I wondered if it was clove that I was smelling, which made me think of Wendylynne's post about cloves. It lasted well, too. Most of the day. I'm just noticing now that I can't smell it much anymore, but it's only in the last hour or two that it faded.
  6. I love this one! I tried it yesterday and it just made me happy every time I smelled it. There was a note that was very intriguing to me, which I couldn't place but now think was the bergamot. I love bergamot. This scent is clean--very clean--smelling. I found it a little bit soapy, but once again, I enjoy soapy scents. I could pick out what I think was the lemon blossom, and of course the bergamot. Those give it the "happy" feel. I didn't think this scent was "me" (even though I did like it) when I first smelled it in the vial, but I think it became a "me" scent yesterday. I like it very much.

    Esther

    I love this one! It smells feminine and regal. It's sweet and juicy, and a little musky after awhile. I seem to like most scents with fig as a note, and I like that in this one, the honey is very light. Just enough to lend a touch of sweetness. I might need a full bottle of this someday.

    Espiritual

    I wore this yesterday. I was unsure about the scent at first, but it quickly grew on me. Sometimes scents with smoke as a note give me a headache, but this one didn't. I like it! It smells mysterious and spooky, somehow. To me, it's more of a "fall" scent. Maybe. I don't know; it's just really different and cool. It started out smelling rather masculine on my skin, but then it just went to that mysterious place and stayed there. Now what's this about ancestors? Should my deceased ancestors have been hanging around yesterday when I wore this? Dangit, I didn't realize, so I don't know if they visited me or not!
  9. I tried this one the other day, and I like it. It smells fresh and spring-like to me. On my skin, it turned a bit perfumey after awhile, but still nice. So yes, this one is a definite "like" for me.
  10. I like this one a lot. I tend to like any of the rainy/watery/green scents, so that's no surprise. I also love the label. I feel like this scent really evokes that almost magical feeling you get when you watch The Wizard of Oz, and you see the Emerald City in all its glory. One thing that makes no sense to me is that I smell roses plain as day, even though there are no roses in this one. I am not sure why that might be.

    The Empress

    This scent is one that is not my usual preference, but I found it warm and comforting and kind of addicting on my skin. I detected the honey and I suppose that's what my nose interpreted as musk.
  12. On my skin, I find this scent very light and soft, like I bathed in scented water. I found it pleasant.

    I think I'll just keep my mouth shut from now on.

    Elfin Plum

    Mmmm, this is very pretty and kind of unique! I would never have guessed it had nutmeg in it. That would have scared me a bit if I had. Must be very subtle. I find this starts out as almost plum candy, and then it gets musky...almost dusty, but in a good way. There's the slightest suggestion that it could go plasticky on me like peach does, but thankfully it doesn't. I find I tend to like a lot of scents that have fig in them. I didn't know this one had fig in it, either. But yummy! Very pretty indeed.
  15. Mara had said there was some Atomic Mandarin left...I ordered a bottle. Sold out on the site and just not listed on Etsy yet. Although I don't know if there still is or if even that's sold out now, but I thought I would mention it so you don't miss out if it is available!

    I'm just kidding, Luna.

    Ohhhh...uh, must just be my nose, then. Some of us just have no taste.

    It's true! I know--I never thought I'd like Don't be Afraid of...the Dark!, but I did once I tried it out.

    This is not a review, as I haven't tried this one yet. I'm terrified of this one. I sniffed it when I got it and it is soooo not me that I couldn't understand why people were raving about it. I really still don't get it. I guess I'll have to see once I try it and it dries down. But I would be surprised if my opinion of it changes.
  20. This is a unisex/men's scent? I never would have guessed. MY nose didn't get anything like the rest of you! My nose got lemon-scented cleaner at first. Then on drydown, it was sweet and powdery, with still a little hint of lemon. No idea where that's coming from! I kinda like it and yet I kinda don't. I don't know. I'm happy to have tried it but I don't think it would ever be a favourite.
  21. To my absolute astonishment, I actually kind of like this one. I ordered it from the trade board out of sheer curiosity, convinced I wouldn't like it. I don't seem to like chocolate scents in most perfume. I am not a big fan of raisins. Chocolate-covered raisins are one of the few chocolates that I'd have to be really desperate to eat. When I received it, I sniffed it and thought, well, I was right. It smells harsh and bitter and not my kind of thing at all. And then one night I was up late and for some reason, I sniffed it again. And I thought, well, that's not too bad. But I still can't say I was looking forward to trying it out! But on my skin, it mellowed right out into a warm, comfortable, grapey/winey scent. It reminds me a little bit of a more subdued, less musky Vampire Cabernet. The bitterness and harshness went away. I actually like it quite a bit. But I am so confounded that I like it, that I don't trust it. I don't really trust my nose on this one! Or my skin chemistry. What is going on? I'm going to have to try it again sometime and see if the same thing happens.
  22. I've been using this one for the past few days (yes, it's lasting quite well). Mmmmm, it's so relaxing! To me, it smells powdery and like a good "bedtime" scent. Very comforting and warm. It makes me happy to have this scent in my house. I can smell it all the way down the hallway, too. I considered moving it to my bedroom for that reason, but I have nowhere to put it. Definitely a good nighttime scent.
  23. No, I just got it in today...but thank you so much! I will try that. Any suggestion on a good sugared to go with it?
  24. I want to love this because I adore the description and the name and the pink label, and the notes sound great. Unfortunately, all I can smell on my skin is curry for some reason. It hates me. Whyyyyyyy does it hate me??? Every now and then I think it's settling down, but then nope--back to curry. I can't imagine what's doing it other than the cayenne. Maybe I'll give it one more shot on another day, just to see...or maybe it has travel shock or something, idk. I did just get it today. But if not I think I will have to sell it.
