    Bengal

    In the imp gorgeous spiced honey, but then it hits my skin and it's gasoline, yuck. I think it's the combination of the ginger and clove with my chemistry. This one will be a good room or locket scent but it must stay away from my skin.

    Blood Pearl

    Ohhh I love this one, in the imp I get musky coconut, yum, I love me some coconut. Once it hits my skin it morphs into a musky voilet, WTF!!!!! I had to look at the list of whats in this one then I googled orris since that's the one I didn't recognize and this is what I found: Orris is harvested in Italy and has been a traditional fixative for scent since ancient Greece. It's great for smoothing out the combined scents when you are making infused oils. Many consider that its essential oil, which is locked in these roots and which develops its scent over time, smells like violets (and orris is usually the real source of "violet" perfume). Found at Alchemy Works

    La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente

    In the imp I get wild rose and pomegranate, totally lovely. Once it hit's my skin all I get is peaches. Totally reminds me of P.O.T U.S.A, now I have the Peaches song stuck in my head!!!!!

    Black Opal

    In the imp nothing, once it hits my skin WOW, it imbodies the scent of nothingness, if that makes any sense!!! It's the darkness of the void where nothing exists. As time goes by this actually gets stronger on me, there's musky vanilla now. A must buy bigger bottle.

    Velvet

    In the imp minty chocolate, not quite a peppermint patty but close. On my skin this smells like the hot cocoa I make in the winters, while sitting in front of the fireplace. Hersher's syrup, warm cream and a dollop of Baileys Irish. This is going onto my big bottle list, yummie!!!!!

    The Hanging Gardens

    Juicyfruit bubble gum, in the bottle and on the skin. I like it, but I don't want to smell like bubble gum.

    Ultraviolet

    WHOA!!!! Icy nose on 1st whiff. This smells more like spearmint to me mixed with the eucalyptus in the imp. On my skin the mint and eucalyptus tone down and I get metal tinged violets. I like and it actually last on my skin.

    Ephemera

    In the imp straight up chamomile nothing else. On the skin the chamomile tones down and is replaced with the violets, after about 10 minutes I get a blend of voilets and lilies with a chrispness of fall in the background. This is a very pretty and light scent, something that I'll have to try a few more times before I decide on a bigger bottle or not.

    Versailles

    I want to smell what everyone else does, but as normal the citrus notes take over. In the imp I smell spicy sweet oranges, on my skin red mandarin and oranges. That's all that's there for me, while I like it, it's not something I would wear, maybe as a room smellie, this would be a good one for that.

    The Black Tower

    Old English Gents Club, book lined cedar shelves, heavy wine, leather chairs, velvet covered teak tables, cigar and pipe smoke. When I smell this I can actually hear the dice roll and the glasses clinking together. This is a very intriguing scent, I may have to buy more!!!

    Asphodel

    In the imp it smells like Spokane, WA in late May early June. Lilacs and honeysuckle, in early summer right after they've bloomed. On me, it starts out the same then morphs into something very green and airy, on drydown it's now grey misty florals. I can't place any of the notes while it's on my skin they just blend so well together. This will be a 10ml purcase very soon.

    House of Night

    Just got an imp of this yesterday: in the Imp cypress with something green and smokey. On my skin the cypress really stands out, and then fades down another resiney one came out but I'm not sure if it was sandlewood or not. Now after about 20 mins I have florals, smells like jasmine and lillies, with a deep green background too it. It stands out too, no fading for me and has a really far throw, someone just came in and asked me what that smell was, they where about 15 ft from me!!!! I really like this one and will be getting a bigger bottle.

    Somnus

    Named after the Roman God of Sleep. This blend helps bring on deep, restful, natural sleep. I got this as a frimp today! In the imp total lavender with a bit of a sharp tang to it. I put it on about 15 minutes ago and I do not want to get out of my chair now, I feel all floaty and relaxed. Smell wise I still smell lavender, but also a hint of jasmine and I'm thinking the tang to it is clary sage. I'll have to put some more on right before bed and see what happens, I know everytime I've ever used clary sage I get the oddest dreams. Edited to add: I used this right before bed last night, and I was out cold, I don't think anything could have woken me up!!! I know that I dreamed but I can't remember them, the only feeling that I had about them this morning was that they where strange ones, not bad though. So this is one that I will be buying a bigger bottle of for those nights that I have trouble sleeping.

    Numb

    Just got my bottle of this in the mail today. In the bottle it reminds me of something from my childhood and I just can't place it. It's a pleasant sensation, just not sure the what or why for the nostalgia. On my skin it reminds me of laying out in the yard on a hot summers day in Easter Washington and my Mom just hanging the laundry out to dry, getting splattered with wet wash as my Mom tossed towels on us so we'd move from under the clothes line. All in all I like this one.

    Shill

    Unlike everyone else I smell dirty buttered popcorn in the imp I received. Then on the skin it does change to salty buttery popcorn which I love. I'll keep my imp, but I don't think I'll be ordering a bigger bottle of this.

    Buck Moon

    Ok gonna try this again since it got ate a few minutes ago. In the bottle the scent of a fresh breeze of an Indian Summer above the tree line in the Cascade Mountains, I can smell the forest and mountain lakes in this one. On it's a spicy musk with hints of the lunar oils and mountain meadows. After 30-40 minutes the spicyness goes away and I'm left with a soft musky meadow and hints of lunar oils. This is a must keep and if it comes back next year I will be ordering more of it!

    Love in the Asylum

    In the bottle I get spicy rose's, which I love!!!!! Wet on the skin for the 1st minute burnt plastic, yewwwww, I don't like it. But then the plastic disappers and I get the spicy roses back, after about an hour I get a very soft vanilla rose. It's a keeper as long as I don't smell it for the 1st minute!!!

    Carnivàle

    I really like this one in the bottle, it's a spicy berry, very yum. Once on my skin though it goes to cherry cough syrup, you know the really icky kind, and stays that way. Oh well at least I can sniff the bottle.

    Thirteen (13)

    My 1st review! In the bottle, chocolate oranges. Which I'm not fond of!!! On skin: Wet creamy chocolate for a total of 1 minute the next minute is then chocolate orange, but then it's a British Tea, in a warm sunny garden with a very gentle breeze lifting the fragrance of flowers around you, with orange chocolate biscuits. It really starts to fade after about 10 minutes on me, which is not nice since I could really love this one. 20 minutes has gone buy and I now smell currents, to be exact Twinings Black Current Burst tea. I love it, it brings back so many memories of the 1st time I met my husband, he's the one who got me hooked on Black Current Burst. Almost 40 mins have passed and it's now faded down to a vanilla white tea which is very faint on my skin. I'll give it another20-30 mins to see if it comes back or not. After an hour it all but disappears, kinda disappointing it doesn't last longer then that. Update after 2 hours it's actually come back, it now smells as if the tea was spilt on crisp white linen in that garden. I really like this one!!!
