I had previously decided I didn't like Dana O'Shee because it smelled like marischino cherries. But I wore it to English class and it smelled pretty good, like toasted almonds. Once the cherry settled down, it was really nice. I'm glad I gave it another chance.

This is exactly what the descriptions says, musk, tea, and vanilla. It's a very pretty combination, but quite faint and nondescript. I'm going to age my imp and see if the throw improves.

Snake Oil did not live up to all the great reviews, imo. I wore it one day and developed a headache. It was extremely incensy. Headshop, playdoh. And I couldn't smell the vanilla every else was talking about. I've gotten so that I can identify more notes now, and appreciate scents that I haven't before. But I guess it all comes down to personal preference.

Wet, hazelnut. Dry, chocolate brownie, milk chocolate. Really sweet. Like, sugar has GOT to be one of the notes. I appreciate the novelty of smelling like chocolate because I can. So I bought a bottle. In the future I'd like to try chocolate scents that are perhaps more true cocoa-y, darker, richer, and less sweet.

Alice is spicy and sweet at the same time in the imp. Kind of a weird combination. I didn't really like it.

Light ginger and citrus smoothed with milk. One thing about Sudha Sigara is that it's really really light. My skin just eats it. It's refreshing, but imperceptible on my wrist. I'm going to age it a bit and see if that helps any with the throw.
