    White Rabbit

    In the bottle: honey and pepper. I've never tried anything with pepper before. Wet: Wow, this smells exactly like tea. I shouldn't be surprised, because it's SUPPOSED to smell like tea. Dry: Still tea, the pepper is barely there, and I can pick up a little bit of the ginger now. I like this quite a bit, but I'll have to wear it a few times before I decide if I want a bottle or not. I'll certainly enjoy my imp.

    Eat Me

    This was a frottle. I never would have tried it on my own, and that would have been sad. In the bottle: caaaaaaaake. Fiance wants me to try this one asap. Wet: I smell a lot more currant than anything. Cake is still there. Dry: Wow, I usually don't like desserty scents at all because they are too cloying, but this smells like gourmet vanilla cake with a hint of currant. My mouth is actually watering. I keep sniffing it. I'm sniffing it right now. I love. This makes me wonder if I should consider more BPAL foodiness in the future. mm. still sniffing.

    Juke Joint

    In the bottle: Smells like bourbon for sure. Wet: bourbon and mint, just like the description. Dry: More mint than anything now. It smells almost woody. This is okay, but I don't need a bottle. I prefer Roadhouse's booziness to this booziness.

    Archangel Winter

    This was my first bottle purchase, and I think I did well. In bottle: flowery and cool. Reminds me of the Fresh Air scented crayola. Wet: Much the same, I'm a little worried this will be too light for my taste. Now I know what "ozone" smells like. Dry: Its not too light, not too strong, but not as cold as I was expecting. I tend to amp floral notes so its probably cancelling out some of the iciness. Its a nice, clean smell that I will wear often. Yay.

    Snake Oil

    In the bottle: Spicy, alllll spice and patchouli Wet: Same, but vanilla starts to peek out. Dry: Now there's quite a bit of vanilla. Still a lot of spice. Getting sweeter as time passes, and I can still detect the patchouli but it isn't too strong. I usually don't care for that note. I don't know what I think. At first I had no idea why this scent is so popular, but the longer its on me the more I'm starting to like it. Its definitely something that would make me stand out in a crowd.

    Zombi

    I SO wanted to like Zombi. I love the scent of dried roses and earth individually, and one would think that the combination would only make it better. In the bottle: Strong rose with a mossy undertone. Wet: All rose. Dry: It looks like I amp the rose and ONLY the rose, with better than average throw! I like rose well enough, but I want something with a bit more personality. After several hours I could smell a bit of the dirt and moss, and it started to resemble a bit more of what I had hoped for. I will try this one more time when my scent locket gets here, and hope it goes better!

    Dragon's Eye

    In the bottle: It reminds me of a shower gel I had and liked in high school. Wet: Lily of the valley, which I adore. Dry: Still mostly lily, with decent throw, at least in wafts. There's something underneath it that cuts the sweetness and makes it a floral I could wear on a daily basis. I assume that's the dragon's blood (this is my first time with the Ars Draconis family). Fiance loves it. Bottle buy, most likely. I'd like to see how this goes over in my scent locket. I think I need to try Dragon's Tears next.

    Roadhouse

    In the bottle: Dandelions, mostly stems. Wet: Still dandelions, but with some sweetness mixed in. Reminds me of bourbon but is probably something else. Dry: Dandelion has faded a lot, and its mostly tobacco and the bourbon smell now. Not pipe tobacco though, it smells like that stuff used to hand-roll cigarettes after its been left open for a day. I don't detect much of the hemp at all, maybe it contributes to the dry, dusty smell of the tobacco. Overall: I love it. I want to wear this in the summer while I'm driving around with the windows down in my car. Maybe in the winter when its super cold and I miss the sun. Bottle buy for sure. Awesome frimp, and I'm grateful.

    Eden

    I usually don't like foody scents, so I have no idea why I ordered an imp of Eden except for the name (which will be my last name in the near future, so I guess I had to try it and SEE). In the bottle: Sweeeeeeeeet. Fig and coconut all the way. Wet: Still super sweet, honeyed fig. I can smell the almond and coconut a bit now. I knew this would be too sweet for me. I feel like a dessert. Dry: Quite a bit better. The sandalwood has come in and neutralized some of the sweetness of everything else, and every now and then I can detect a tiny hint of green from the fig leaf. I do like it as a smell in general, and I will keep my imp. I wouldn't wear this to the office. Maybe something to sniff on a day off, or when I'm feeling like being snuggly with a book.

    Shoggoth

    In the bottle: Musky with a hint of lime. Wet: Lime! but not overpowering. I like it. There's a sharper note underneath that my fiance thought was "almost minty." Dry: More musk, and the green coconut is the perfect undertone. The florals add a hint of sweetness that is a nice balance. The lime seems to come and go, but now that its been on an hour or so I think its mostly gone. That's too bad, I liked it. Overall: A scent I could easily wear to work. Its light, but distinctive. The musk seems to have a lot of staying power but the florals add just enough sweetness that I don't get sick of it. This will probably be a bottle buy. (P.S. this is my first ever review. woohoo!)
