Tombstone - Wanderlust

Notes: vanilla, balsam, sassafras, cedar

Wow – a tarted imp! This is the first one that I’ve come across (courtesy of the GC swap and Ancilla!) so this is rather exciting.

In the imp: cedar, sassafras, sweetness

On the skin: cedar & sassafras, sweetened with vanilla.

I’ve only tried this scent once or twice, so it’s good to try it again. I don’t know if the age of the imp is affecting this any, but this is wonderful. I’m going to have to try a more recent imp to compare. But back to the review, initially this was most strongly cedar with an undercurrent of sassafras. The sassafras is not overwhelming but nicely supports the cedar and vanilla.

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed Tombstone. It’s warm, sexy, yummy & spicy. Very nice!

Ephemera: Bewitching Brews

Notes: violet, chamomile, muguet, white geranium, calla lily, tea rose, autumn leaves

In the imp and wet on the skin, this smells like soft florals with a hint of spice. This is a soft, quiet scent, pretty and refined. The flowers are soft – I can barely smell the rose but it’s there. I have a love-hate relationship with rose and I’m happy to say the other flowers temper the rose so there is just a whisper. There’s a herbal aspect to this scent and I’m having a hard time identifying the other flowers. It doesn’t last long and remains soft, gentle and sweet. It’s nice, not something that I’d reach for on a regular basis, but I’ll hold onto any imps that come my way.

Rose Cross - Sin and Salvation

Notes: rose, frankincense

At first I was bit hesitant to try this as the rose blends are a crap shoot for me. Sometime they work and oftentimes they don’t. Well, I’m glad I tried this. It’s a lovely greenish red rose and blends beautifully with the frankincense. Very pretty.

Similar roses for me included Rose Red and Séance.

Jack - Bewitching Brews

Notes: pumpkin, nutmeg, peach, clove

mmm. pumpkin and spices. This is delicious!
