The King of Hearts (Rosewood and black cherry with white musk, red rose, red musk and a spark of lavender.)
In vial - quite aggressive, almost almondy which is probably the cherry
on me - strong aggressive slight off chemically cherry, Eventually goes to a musky lavander which isn't too bad but nothing I'd wear especally as I'm not a cherry fan.
On Tom - Ekk. Nasty get it off me.. really unpleasent on him.
definetly one for swapping, sure someone will like it 2/10
Cheshire cat (Grapefruit, red currant, dark musk, Roman chamomile, delphinium, and lavender)
In vial - fruity, grapefuit
on - grapefuit but with a twang underneath, oily feel to it think it's lavander..Wakes you up but at the same time you want to go to sleep. Very weird effect. Goes sweeter overtime, might be the current coming out? What to try it again as it may grow on me 6/10
White Rabbit (Strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen)
In vial - sweet, smooth, tikkle of ginger
On - crisp, almost lemony but not quite. Clean, can just feel the spices but as a backdrop. Warm and homely. The pepper comes out quite strongly later. It layered nicely with Dorian which made titsweeter and knocked the edge off the pepper which I found quite strong. Will try again to see if i always get that as the rest is very nice 6/10 on own but more when layered.
Mad Hatter ( A gentlemen's lavender-citron cologne unhinged by the feral pungence of black musk and a paroxysm of pennyroyal)
In Vial - Peppermint sweets
On - Minty with a dusky undertone, can just pick out the lavander. Would be very good when you have a cold defintely clears the nose. Almost extra strong mints. Can see this being good in the right mood. 7/10
All from the Mad Tea Party.
On a related note I got some empty vials so can do decants from the bottles. Plus I found a box I've had for ages which is specifically desigend to take bottles the size of the 5mls. I used to use it for a previous LARP characters alchemy kit. So the bottles are safely in there. It holds 12 so I'm not sure how long it wil last me but enough for now. I have made a box for the imps from card which will again do for now.
