rec'd today, all listed below, PLUS:
MOON ROSE
A crisp, pale, almost translucent rose dusted by moonflower and
midnight dew.
[my first impression: too sweet & girly for me. I bet Holly would
like it.]
and Old Madrid. Which, I think Is MADRID:
MADRID
Swarthy and vibrant! An elegant, full-bodied scent that ignites all
the darkest passions. Bold red wine, mimosa, and a trickle of clove.
[it smells like candy at first, but then you can smell the wine &
clove. kind of interesting?]
===================

crystallized

[some sort of cleaning fluid, interesting color, though]

> BLOOD KISS -- 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.
[cherry-vanilla]

> LEX TALIONIS -- The law of retaliation and perfect reciprocity: an
> eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, an arm for an arm, a life for
a
> life. The essence of blunt justice: dark myrrh, vetiver, cardamom,
> violet, black pepper, sage, cedarwood and black patchouli with a
> clarion note of sharp white grapefruit.
[more cleaning fluid, slightly pepper ish]

> HELL'S BELLE -- Sweet, smoky and sensually wicked. A thick, steamy

> wet, sweet mandarin, lush magnolia, a rush of deep musk and a touch

[cedar & orange]

by
> vanilla, fig, tonka bean and mahogany, spiced with a drop of coffee
> bean.
[tuberose for sure. not much else.]
> PERVERSION -- The perfect scent to wear to your next bondage ball,
> dungeon adventure or sojourn to your favorite pleasure dome. Smoky
> rum and black tobacco with a whisper of steamy leather with a
splash
> of crystalline chardonnay, layered over a sensual, sweet, and
> deceptively magnetic base of tonka.
[smells like vanilla, and rum a little]
