Somehow I just KNEw you'd love that rose-infested scent, LOL.
Oookay so I want to place my order, but it says they only ship to the US... Allie, how did you place your order?
Here's my list:
O -The scent of sexual obsession, slavery to sensual pleasure, and the undercurrent of innocence defiled utterly. Amber and honey with a touch of vanilla.
Snake Oil (I figure since it's so popular it's got to be a safe bet) - By far, our most popular scent! Magnetic, mysterious, and exceedingly sexual in nature. A blend of exotic Indonesian oils sugared with vanilla.
Eos - The Rising Sun. She is Ostara, Easter, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of fertility and the dawn. She is a protector and friend to all children. Her scent is that of softly glowing skin, jasmine, buttercup and honeysuckle.
Juliet - Sweet pea with stargazer lily, calla lily, heliotrope, honeysuckle, white musk and a touch of fresh pear. (Matt hates lily, so I'm worried this might not go over well with him, but oh well it sounds good!)
White Rabbit - Strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen. (It was a toss up between this and The Unicorn from the Mad Tea Party collection, I'll probably order The Unicorn later too.)
Paris - Sensual, decadent, and enigmatic. Lavender, softly underscored by lotus and spice.

They have instructions on this page on how to place an international order. Basically, calculate your total plus shipping (the Canadian shipping rates are on that page too, I think it's $12.00 for orders under 20 items), place the payment through PayPal and put your order list in the notes on PayPal.
Today's scent is JULIET (From the Illyria collection).
Description: Sweet pea with stargazer lily, calla lily, heliotrope, honeysuckle, white musk and a touch of fresh pear.
Imp nose: I can definitely smell the flowers. It smells like a bouquet of lillies to me.
Wet on skin: Again... All Lillies. I smell like i'm surrounded by lillies.
Dry on skin: Love it. The musk and sweet pea is starting to shine through and i can smell a bit of the pear. I do still smell like a bunch of lillies, but hey i like lillies as long as they're not molesting my nose.

Today's scent is DRAGON'S MILK (from the ARS DRACONIS collection).
Description: A truly fae nectar! Dragon's blood resin and honeyed vanilla.
Imp nose: Exactly as it is described. I smell vanilla, a bit of honey, and something like cinnamon, which I'm guessing is the "dragon's blood."
Wet on skin: Almost pure vanilla. I like vanilla, but I'm not fond of this. It's kind of overpowering, sickly sweet, and fake smelling.
Dry on skin: WTH? I smell like jasmine? Seriously, I smell exactly like jasmine but with a tiny hint of sweet vanilla.
I checked some of the reviews and no one said anything like jasmine. This is a perfect example of how these can change drastically depending on who puts them on. I had to ask someone to make sure I wasn't just crazy, but they agreed. It's jasmine. And I like it a LOT.

Today's scent is BLOOD KISS (From the Bewitching Brews collection).
Description: Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk.
Imp nose: I smell vanilla, cherry and wine. Strong but not bad.
Wet on skin: Hello cherries. I smell a little bit of clove.
Dry on skin: Still very cherry with clove but now with wine... I can smell a hint of vanilla but not much.

Today's scent is Veil (from the Bewitching Brews Collection)
Description:A quiet scent, soft, calm and enigmatic. A perfume of mystery, of whispers, and of secrets behind secrets. White sandalwood, lilac, gardenia, violet, orris, lavender and ylang ylang.
Imp nose: Gardenia is the most prominent smell closely followed by the lavender.
Wet on skin: Ew. I smell like dish soap.
Dry on skin: Much better. Now I can definitely smell the lilac and the gardenia is still wafting in the background. This is more of a subtle scent on me once it is dry. There is also a bit of a spicier scent lingering. Perhaps the orris or ylang ylang? (I have no idea what either of these smell like)
Not one of my favorites, but not repulsive like the Jezebel was.

Today's scent is THE NIGHT-RAVEN (from the Marchen-The Elfin Hill collection).
Description: Indigo musk, wild plum, rose geranium, benzoin, night-blooming jasmine, and patchouli.
Imp nose: I smell rose and a lot of patchouli, and there's something sharp in the background. Not my favorite so far, but that doesn't mean much since they never smell the same once they're on me.
Wet on skin: Ick! Pure patchouli. I really hope that fades because that is the one scent that I was hoping wouldn't come through.
Dry on skin: Well, that's unpleasant. I smell like really cheap potpourri that was soaked in patchouli.
I had to wash this off. NOT a fan. I checked the reviews (I like to wait until after I write mine up), and it seems I'm not alone.

I haven't replied in awhile, but I'm loving reading everyone's reviews! Even the oils that aren't so great. It's really interesting to see what works and what doesn't, and it pretty much never works as expected (like Jess's jasmine, wtf!)
I'm eager to place another order, probably closer to the end of the month. I've been enjoying my imps. GRAVE-PIG smelled less figgy and more soilish on me yesterday. So strange.
