Plunder - The scent of a pirate's bumboat, overflowing with stolen wares: tea leaf, cassia, cinnamon bark, clove, allspice, sandalwood, tobacco, peppercorn, and nutmeg.
In the vial, I get spice and a weirdly medicinal note. Colorwise, the distinctive rust brown of ground spices.
Wet on my skin, Big Red gum! Ok, that's funny.
10-15 minute dry-down - Now it's all clove. This one's going to take some settling, I think.
1 hour dry-down - I smell like pie. :-) This isn't what I expected, but I still smell yummy. I doubt I'll order it, though.

Hecate - Magnificent three-faced Goddess of Magic, the Dark Moon and the Crossroads. She is the Mother of Witches, and the midnight baying of hounds is her paean. Her compassion is evidenced in her role as Psychopomp for Persephone, and her wrath manifests as Medea's revenge. Deep, buttery almond layered over myrrh and dark musk.
In the vial, can we say amaretto? The almond almost overpowers the myrrh... almost. Colorwise, doeskin - that butter yellow doeskin.
Wet on my skin, it's sweet almond with something dark keeping it from being cloying. So far, I quite like it.
10-15 minute dry-down - Guh. That's all I can say. The almond keeps the myrrh at bay but it's still noticable. *drool*
1 hour dry-down - Still guh. I can't say much else other than I'm in love.
