The Dark Side of Earth: deep, brooding forest scents, including juniper and patchouli. The scent of upturned cemetery loam mingling with floral offerings to the dead.
One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following diabolical device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of one hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it. The Psi function for the entire system would express this by having in it the living and the dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a “blurred model” for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.
A paradoxical scent experiment! – tangerine, sugared lime, pink grapefruit, oakmoss, lavender, zdravetz, and chocolate peppermint.
No cats were mistreated during the formulation of this paradox, or in the process of creating this perfume.
A brace of loaded pistols
He carried night and day;
He never robbed a poor man
Upon the king’s highway;
But what he’d taken from the rich,
Like Turpin and Black Bess,
He always did divide it
With the widow in distress.
Stand and deliver! Vetiver with gardenia, blood red rose, night-blooming jasmine, a dash of cinnamon and a faint hint of leather
This haunting, exotic scent is named in honor of the shapeshifting demons from Hindu mythology. Sandalwood with rose and patchouli.

This scent is very lovely! It is delicate, a bit mysterious, and very feminine. The words “shy” comes to mind. At first, it smells like violets and lilac. I don’t get much lavender at the start. As it dries, the sandalwood becomes more prominent with lavender and violets in the background. Overall, a wonderful scent and one of my favorites.

Oh, I love Veil so much! It smells nice enough in the bottle, but it really comes alive on your skin. One small dab is enough.
It’s a beautiful, mature floral on me. There’s a lovely lilac sweetness and a touch of orris keeps it fresh rather than heady. The sandalwood isn’t overpowering, but it definitely becomes more noticeable with time. The gardenia isn’t noticeable at first, but it also comes out to play later in the day.
There is also a lovely “clean, fresh skin” quality to this that I absolutely love.
The fragrance itself is evocative of peachy skin, long lashes and ripe lips close to your ear whispering secrets. Mysterious and enigmatic indeed.

Since perfume is so subjective, my 5 stars is based on the scent staying with me throughout the day and not irritating my sensitive skin or giving me a headache. When I first put on Veil it reminded me of a perfume I used to wear years ago, Poison. I eventually stopped wearing Poison because it became too sweet and cloying for my tastes. But Veil was a lovely, less cloying reminder of that scent, with a forward nose that brought candied grapes to my mind. It mellowed and became more pleasing throughout the day.

Laaaaavenderrrr.
When still wet, this is quite tangy, actually! But it dries down to a very soft floral. Very feminine and pretty.

In the imp all I smell is the lilac, lavender and violet, so I initially assumed this would just be a light floral. However, after about an hour on my skin the sandalwood took main stage. For the rest of the day the Veil became a powdery sandalwood fragrance dominating over a bed of soft florals. It had longevity, but this is not the scent for me. However, lovers of sandalwood for probably really like Veil.

Veil is one of those sleeper scents, I’m not sure about it in the bottle but as soon as it dries on the skin I’m in love. Veil is an apt title. Its a hard to place scent that delicately floats around you. There is a powdery quality from the violet and lilac while the gardenia and ylang ylang give a fleshy earthy feel. It is defiantly a your-skin-but-better kind of scent.
