Even more reviews!
I have more imps to review. Yahness!
Tamora: Amber, heliotrope, golden sandalwood, peach blossom and vanilla bean.
In the bottle this smells fruity and sweet, but I can't pick out individual notes. On my skin it's all about the peach; very bright and sparkly. With time, the amber note slowly emerges and it settles into a gentle, fruity scent that is extremely pretty and feminine. This is the kind of scent that I'd wear ALL the time in the Spring. :)
Samhain 2005: Revisited! Truly the scent of autumn itself -- damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein.
Reading the description, I worried that this wouldn't work for me due to the disaster of the Pumpkin Patch scents. However, I was pleasantly surprised!
In the bottle this is spicy and warm with just a hint of foodiness. On my skin it's all about the mulled wine and a warm note of apple. The pumpkin is VERY subdued, so instead of making me want to throw up, this makes me think of curling up infront of the tv, watching Practical Magic, whilst slurping a huge mug of mulled wine or spiced hot chocolate. Definitely a winter/autumn scent, and absolutely beautiful. There's even a hint of smokiness in this, which reminds me of bonfires.
Old London: Venerable Victorian Tea Rose… twisted, blackened and emboldened with wickedness.
Another surprise, I bought this one for the name alone, not the description. ^^;
In the bottle it's sweet and flowery. On my skin it's the freshest rose. It's distinctly reminiscent of rubbing rose petels across my skin; it has that pale, fresh scent. On the drydown it's incredibly sweet and pretty.
I do like it, but it's not really a "me" scent. I'll either keep it as a room scent, or throw it in as a frimp on my next sale.
Eden: At the center of the Garden of Eden stands the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Though modern interpretations of the Bible claim that it was an apple that the Serpent of the Tree offered to Eve, it is widely believed that the true Fruit of True Knowledge was, in fact, a fig. This oil contains the innocence of the Garden, coupled with the Truth and Erudition found in the fruit of the Tree of Evil: fig leaf, fig fruit, honeyed almond milk, toasted coconut and sandalwood. (Gender neutral)
In the bottle: *sniffsniff* It smells like freshly cut plant stems, maybe even a little grass. On my skin it's gross. eeeuuk! I'm not getting any of the honeyed almond milk, the coconut, or fruit; I'm just getting this overpowering, bright green, sweetness. It really is a deadringer for the smell you get when you cut a ton of flower stems all at once; that acrid, green, flower-blood kind of scent.
I'm positive this would smell divine on someone else, but on me it simply doesn't work.
And an add-on to my old review of Snow White 2005: I said the scent is sophisticated, and it really, truly is. :) I'm travelling today and decided to look presentable, and Snow White is the perfect scent for when you're trying to look smart and capable. As weird as this sound, it goes SO well with my outfit!
