    Lolita

    I got this as a frimp, but I was really happy because I was planning on ordering it eventually. Imp: Lemony with a pinch of honeysuckle. Wet: Mostly honeysuckle, but there's a lot of lemon, as well. It definitely has a sting to it. My friend said "It smells like a baby. But in a good way. Like a baby prostitute." Hmm...I guess that's ok. Dry: Yum! Lemony floral scent. I can smell the heliotrope now, but it's not overwhelming. It reminds me of summer. I think it would be good for a picnic or a bright summer morning. I like!

    Dorian

    Inspired by and created for my beloved Tedwin: my eternal, beautiful, wicked Dorian Gray. Refined, elegant, and lovely, with a noble bearing and seemingly gentle air. This blend is an artful deception: a sweet gilded blossom lying over a twisted and corrupted core. A Victorian fougere with three pale musks and dark, sugared vanilla tea. Dorian didn't really work well on my skin. I'll have to give it another shot, though. Imp: For some reason I smell pine trees. Like the smell of a really sweet pine tree. Hmm... Wet on skin: Same as in the imp. However, I now smell the vanilla. Dry: It definitely smells like the description, but with a soapy undertone. I think I need to give it another try soon...

    Snake Oil

    Ooohhh man. FANTASTIC! Imp: Spicy, vanilla, and patchouli. Wet on skin: Mostly patchouli. I smell some musk, too. Dry on skin: *drool* Lots of vanilla and a little incense. Delicious! I think I must buy a larger amount, seeing that I only have an imp. Hooray!

    Morocco

    I am in love! When I opened the imp, the first word I uttered was "WOW!" Imp: Vanilla, spices, and incense. Wet on skin: All incense now... Dry: Ahh!! I love it. Smells the way it smelled in the imp but with more depth. I ran up to my mom and made her smell my wrist. Her reaction, like mine, was "WOW!"

    Vampire Tears

    Frimp. It smells like lemon cleaning solution on me. Yuck. I do not like this. Kind of want to wash my arm...and my sweater...

    House of Night

    In the imp and wet on my skin, the oil smelled like apples, cinnamon, and other spices. However, when it dried, it smelled flowery, with hints of apple and spices. It grew on me throughout the day. It's definitely a nice fall scent.

    Black Phoenix

    In the imp: Almond and sweet. Wet on skin: Still almond. Dry: Almond and cherry...much like the scent of Jergen's Original Lotion in Cherry Almond. Hmm... Edit: The scent has definitely grown on me. I even got a complement that I smelled good!

    Desire

    In the imp: Sweet with a hint of musk. Wet on skin: More musk now. Dry on skin: Smells like a fire burning in the distance! I also smell patchouli now. Interesting. When I first smelled it, it made my sinuses go crazy and I had a sneezing fit. Then it mellowed a bit and my nose could handle the scent. Not sure I'm crazy about it now that I smell my pulse points a couple hours after applying it. I'll have to try it again some other day...

    Velvet

    In the imp: Milk chocolate. Wet on skin: Chocolate and vanilla. Dry: Sandalwood, vanilla, and a little chocolate. I was immediately turned off by the sweetness of the chocolate when I first opened the imp. I knew before putting this on my skin that I wasn't going out today, hence the reason I chanced applying it. However, I do like the way it smells on my skin now that it's dry. It's a different type of scent than the ones I usually choose. I'm sure it would be very nice if I wore it on a date.

    Wanton

    Wet on skin: Roses with a slight hint of patchouli. Dry after about three hours: The rose is still going strong, but now there are strong notes of sandalwood and patchouli, as well. It's a nice, incensy blend of scents!

    Tintagel

    Hmm...I wasn't crazy about this one. In the vial: Strawberry On my skin after two hours: Smells powdery...a little like heliotrope. There's a hint of musk as well. Overall, the scent kind of bothered my sinuses. I gave it to a friend who absolutely loves the way it smells on her skin.

    Belle Époque

    Second BPAL oil ever! It's quite different compared to the oil I tried yesterday (Loviatar)! Within a minute of applying: It smells very citrusy and sweet on my skin. Very fresh... Within two hours: The citrus notes faded mainly into opium, with a whif of lily of the valley. I like it a lot!

    Loviatar

    Wow. My first six imps finally arrived in the mail today and I was so excited to try one. When I opened the Loviatar vial, I was instantly drawn to the depth of the scent. First five minutes: smells very woody on my skin. Within an hour: woodiness melts into notes of musk, leather, and myrrh. This is a great fall/winter scent.
