The ones that didn't work

Ho Hum
Anne Bonny - don't remember
The Coiled Serpent - kind of earthy and dry, but just not doing it for me.
Coyote - dry grass; just not for me
Haunted - cozy warm with grey skies; pleasant, but not interesting enough
Incantation - an unremarkable light lemon nothing
Vixen - vaguely grounded ginger white flowers
Sudha Segara - so light and faint, it's almost not even there. Why bother?
Thanatos - I can smell the rose… and I don't want to. It doesn't smell bad… just not what I want.
Villain - light and kinda not really there. reminiscent of Saint-Germain in its not-there-ness.

Just Didn't work

Bastet (cry!) too warm
Bewitched - faint blackberries with soapy quality
Black Forest - cypress high note
Burial - cypress?
Catherine - high, clear florals; pretty, but not for me.
Dragon's Bone - Dragon's Blood resin oil is just too sweet, which is too bad because this would otherwise be a good scent for me.
Fenris Wolf - it got weird on me; felt like I was wearing men's shaving cream
Freakshow - sweet cocoa; tried to rub off and then got yummy mandarin scent; maybe try again?

Sri Lanka - nice and woodsy, but cedar stands out too much. Makes me feel like I should be a werewolf.
Tintagel - initially too sweet with pungent forest undertones; morphs into bayberry candle
Wilde - herbal bug repellant; too masculine.

Get It Off! Get It Off!!
Belladonna - evil herbs (headache-inducing)
