More Black Phoenix reviews. I owe them at least half my soul by now. Yes.

Below the cut are reviews of Fortunato, Monster Bait: Ventriloquist's Dummy, and the four following Dogs Playing Poker LEs: Riding the Goat, His Station with Four Aces, Pinched with Four Aces, and A Bachelor's Dog.

That's a really, really popular one. It's HARD to get hold of. I have one imp, too. I hoard it.

[naamah_darling]

I wouldn't have a bottle if not for a friend's partial de-stashing, and her kindly offering it to me before it went up for sale. I always seemed to catch auctions that ended for ridiculous amounts.

It's nice to know that other folks like it; it's such a powerfully stinky blend!

Thunder Moon! It just came, and while the initial throw is rather like dryer sheets, it's vibrant and unique and I am forcing myself to ration it until I can save up and buy more off those who didn't care for it.

[naamah_darling]

I really liked Thunder Moon. Not enough to embottlefy myself, but I did like it.

Have you tried Thanatos, Lightning, or (I think it was) Nyarlathotep? Those were all, to me, rather similar, especially Thanatos.

[sanat]

Not tried Thanatos (damn, another for the list!), I was debating Nyarlathotep (the Arkham scents have been pretty blah on me so far), and I just got Lightning in a recent swap, and it's pretty good, not quite as sun-scorched.

(I don't know WHY I like the smell of burning so much--I love Brimstone, too--it's not exactly pleasant, just fascinating to me. I could be secretly demonic and pining for the pits, but how on earth did I survive baptism, then?)

Pinched With 4 Aces.

I got a full bottle. It smells like fresh angelfood cake out of the oven to me.

I split it in half for half a bottle of the Crumpet's Rebellion (unsmelled) and found out that I do *NOT* like CR.

So now I only whif a bit out of the bottle every now and again.

[naamah_darling]

Oh NO!

:O

Hopefully you can switch out the CR for something you really do love!

*giggle*

Considering the number of people here who friended me for ranting about my period, I'm really, REALLY hard to offend!

Welcome! I'm weird. Hope you're weird too.

I loved Creepy.

I'm having the same reaction to the Dogs Playing Poker series. At the last minute, I joined the same decant circle you did, for half-imps, just to see what they were like. Wood notes have not done well for me in the past, and I was really wary.

I love them. All of them. No way in hell I would have managed to buy all of them outright, but now I'm scrounging through swaps/sales and trying to come up with more.

A Bachelor's Dog is the big one--I am utterly in love with it.
