Coldfire

Lab frimp Imp: Jasmine first and then sandalwood Wet on Me: more sandalwood now, then comes the jasmine and then that touch of musk Drying Down: Sweet now. sweet floral with incense to my nose. Dry: More 'incense' than floral now. And I can almost detect a trace of spice in there. Throw/Stay Throw is short and stay is decent. This is a good scent to wear when you don't want to stick out scent wise. Like work, school etc.

Imp from a fellow witch friend Imp: Chocolate over tropical floral Wet on me: Chocolate & tobaccow now with the barest hints of floral peeing thru Drying Down: Chocolate floral now, deep & lush and heady. Dry: Deep sniffs I smell chocolate floral with traces of rich tobacco. This is dark and shadowy. Throw/Stay: Very nice. Just enough. This is to be used sparingly and with reverence, much like calling on Kali Ma herself.

Imp from Marared. Imp: Citrus & sandalwood Wet on Me: Floral now. Jasimine, water lily & wisteria Drying Down: Still Floral. Citrust has gone now Jasmine, water lily and wisteria draped over the red sandalwood. Dry: Citrus went bye-bye. What remains is a lovely jasmine fronted blend with hints of the sandalwood Throw/Stay: Fairly decent. This is nice. I may not reach for this imp that often but I would not kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

Got this frimped to me: Imp: Initial hit of bergamot over floral. 2nd sniff I get the sweetness of jasmine and lavender. Wet On Me: More citrus comes thru now, even with deep sniffs. Drying Down: Citrus over very light floral. But I get a total masculine vibe on this one. Which is good because I like wearing some masculine scents. Dry:Clean citrus yumminess. Sharp and clean. Barest trace of thyme. Nose now attached permanently to my wrist. Last night I tested on the Bird...OMG he smelled of yumminess and my nose was attached to him for the night! Throw/Stay:Absolutely divine. When Bird moved last night I could smell it when I move my wrist today I get divine scent trails in the air. Tried on Bird last night and total keeper. In fact many bottles MUST be ordered as I will wear this and Bird needs to wear this. OOOOF!

Bottle that is gift from friend destashing what she did not like to me! Bottle: Jasmine fighting with patchouli and cedarwood. Wet on Me: Lemon! Lemon over woods! Drying Down: More lemon, less woods. Barest trace of Jasmine if I inhale very close and very deep. Dry: Strong Lemon Cedarwood. Has a post rain sharpness about it. Almost aquatic. Throw/Stay: both are very good. I like this one. Not sure what mood I might wear it for, but I like it!

Got a bottle unsniffed at the lunacy. Bottle:Lemon Cookie. Lemony Sweet but to me very sunny! Wet on Me: lemon sweet, clove and then honey Drying Down: Now there is spices over sweetness with a hint of lemon. But all of that is over honey! Dry:Honey sweet with barest whiffs of lemon and spice. Stay/Throw:Not too long. But I get the occaisional whiff as I move my arm. I like this. I'm not married to it. I think I found my first item for my first swap or sale posting.

This was a frimp from a friend. Imp: Mint on the intitial sniff, then a minty herb. Wet On me: Mint grass! Drying Down: Fresh cut grass and mint. Kind of herbal-y Dry: Grass now. Mint if I sniff deep enough. Throw/Stay: When I move my arm during the course of worki, it throws a cut grass scent that stops me and makes me think a door to the outside is open. Then I remember I'm testing a BPAL. This will probably find it's way to the re-homing group. I like it, I'm just not going to marry it.

Frimp from a friend Imp: Initially a sharpness and then a rose softness. Wet On Me: Now powdery white roses Drying Down: The sharpness is inthe background now under the soft rose and powder Dry: Went to powder on me very quickly. It's nice but I'm not fond of smelling like powder most days. Stay/Throw: not very long for either. I think this will go in the re-homing pile.

Imp: I smell red currant & musk and the barest hint of grapefruit. Wet On Me: Musky Red currant now, then the herbal from the chamomile. Drying Down: Less grapefruit now and more of the musky red currant and now barest hint of lavender Dry: Musky herbs with a sweetness. Pretty but no sharp grapefruit for me Went to powder after a while. Throw/Stay: Too short. ADDED March 12: Imp: grapefruit, currant and lavender with whisps of the Chamomile Wet on me: more Lavender and then grapefruit now Drying down: the lavender and chamomile are blending and giving such a soothing vibe and the musk whisps and dances around it all playing peek-a-boo with my nose. Dry: The grapefruit and current have run away leaving a ring around the rosey of the lavender, musk and chamomile. Very nice. A keeper.

In the bottle this smells of deep thick patchouli and the deep red musk. When I put it on I could smell the black currant, and orchid and mimosa layering over the red musk into a nice dark nummy goodness. As it was inthe drying down stage on me it was just Oooh La La red musky sexiness on me with loads of lovely sweetness. AS it dried this was a black current red musk. This made me feel so sexy wearing it. So womanly...like a Goddess!

Another decant from Shackjj Imp: Green! Green with leather threatening to pop out! Wet On Me: Green leather. I can't stop sniffing on this! Drying Down: This scent reminds me of my local Renn Faire. All that green...all those men in leather! Dry: FAB. U. LOUS! This would be amazing on guys too! This is green leather love for me. Throw/Stay: Throw is good but stay is better. This is what I imagine my lair to smell like...now must buy and hoard many bottles

Got this from a decant circle from Shackjj Imp: Wax and leather, and with a 2nd sniff the salt peter comes in. (being a witch I recognize that SP scenting.) Wet On Me: Leather first, then the wax and then the salt peter and then the barest hint of nutmeg. Drying Down: Sweetness over leather and salt peter already nose wants to attach to wrist Dry: This is warmth, this is something that makes me want to just snuggle into this. The sandalwood is finally coming to play, but I'm not detecting any black pepper in this. This is sweet and old and woody and leathery and lovely. This is your grandfather's favorite old sweater you swipe and wrap around you on a rainy day. Throw/Stay: Throw is personal but the stay is forever! I'll need a bottle of this before it goes away.

Not sure HOW I could top Shackjj's review. FTW! This was a from her decant circle: Imp:Pine and.....something I can't quite put my nose on. Wet on Me: Sweet Pine. I can smell more of the Vanilla and patchouli Drying Down: Fabulous deep richness with a touch of sweetness. It's everything. Dry: I can smell everything but as rotating scent glances. This is rich, complex and deep but not overpowering The throw is perfect and the stay beyond my wildest dreams! This is so good my wrist is glued to my nose! Well done!

Bottle: Benzoin first, then the hint of frankincense. Wet On Me: I smell WOOD! and the Sweetness of the plum and fruits. Drying Down:This is rich loveliness. I smell the patchouli and the frankincense and lovely fruity sweetness. Dry: Lush and sweet and incensy. Spring time in the head shop. Very nice and well done. Totally a keeper. Might have to order my own bottle.

This was a frimp from a deal I did with LunaSea: Imp: Rosewood! I love the rosewood. Barest hint of the other softwoods and some tonka. Am not catching the leather. Wet On Me: Masculine but I love it! Like an old cedar chest you found in your grandparents attic. I detect a slight tang...tonka? Drying Down:more woody goodness. now reminds me of my late daddy's old wood workshop. Smells ancient and mysterious. Dry: Total love and bliss. I want to slather it on me and my fiance. Woody goodness with a hint of incense to cut it. To me this is nirvana! MUST. BUY. BOTTLE! That is all.

Bought this off LunaSea. THANKS! Bottle: Pillsubury Cinnamon Buns. Wet on Me:Cake batter and cinnamon buns. Drying Down: Cardamom now and a woody scent but the cinnamon bun has disappeared. Dry: MUSK! a very musky kinda musty musk. And the scent of nut shells. Don't ask me where that came from. This is veddy veddy interesting. The label is adorable!

This is a partial bottle I got from a newbie pack I ordered Bottle: Chocolate first, with all the other notes all pushing to be out and smelled. Wet on Me: Starting to smell like chocolate powder with fruity undertones Drying Down: it smells muskier now to me. Fig & powder then faint lemon and bergamot Dry:Powder now with a dark & musky scent to it. I smell the fig and tonka. Throw/Stay: slight throw and decent stay to it. Glad I was able to try this scent. Not sure if I'll move heaven and earth to grab all I can of it.

Frimp from my last order: Imp: Very very thick and sweet smelling. Smells ancient. Like I found a treasure Wet on Me: I thought I caught an almond-y whiff but still very sweet in a non-sugary way. Drying Down: Still more of that old ancient heavy sweetness Dry: Thick lush and ancient on me. Still sweet but not cloying. I feel very 'mysterious woman' when I wear this. Frimps Rock!

A frimp from my last order. Imp: Definitely aquatic notes. bare hints of florals Wet on Me:beachy, salty sea spray, total aquatic with barest hint of floral Drying Down: lovely aquatic with stronger florals that I want to swim in. Dry: This is summer at the beach. Crisp, clean, aquatic, and sweetfloral without being overly sweet. I can get raft and float in this? Throw/Stay: Freakin awesome. I would catch vapor trails of scent as I moved my hands here at my desk and my nose would hungrily sniff after them for more. Lasting quite the long time too. Totally on the bottle list!

Got this in an imp pack from my last order: Imp: Sweet and Grapefruity citrus! Yum! Wet on me: defined plum & grapefruit. each sniff I take is different on me as to what note takes the lead. Drying Down: Now more plum and amber and the grapefruit seems to be going away Dry: All amber and plum now and no grapefruit Throw/Stay: Throw is minimal and stay is okay when you get close to your wrist. Pleasant scent. Wish there was more grapefruit when dry. I would not say not to a bottle, but not high on the bottle acquisition list.

From an imp pack from my last order: Imp: First I smell the Jasmine and then the Lavender. Wet On me: Now I smell both the jasmine and the lavender, equally on me Drying Down: Reminds me of summer jasmine nights w/ hints of Lavender in the darkness and honeysuckle peeping from around a corner. Dry: Honeysuckle gets over its shynes and comes out to join hands with jasmine and lavender and play ring around the posey! Throw/Stay: Nice. not to strong or too weak. Just right. This is definitely an old fashioned scent. Very nice. not sure bottle worthy

Got this in an imp pack from my last order: Imp: Sweet clean flowers and summer rain Wet on me: More rain & Flowers. Daffodils? Right now my nose has embedded itself into my wrist in happiness Drying Down:More aquatic/rain than flowers but that is okay with me. This is the LURVE! Dry:Okay now I want to wear this in every rainstorm I get to be in. This is deeeevine Throw & Stay: FABULOUS! I can has full bottle now? Must put on full bottle acquisition list!

Got this from Carmentcita this past weekend at the Faerie Fest when we had an informal M-n-S. Imp: Fresh. I can semll Cedar but it's not overpowering. Wet On Me: Lilly, cedar, and a hint of the white geranium Drying Down: A flowery cedar. Very nice, light Dry: More Cedar now....and some Orchid coming thru. It's nice, not unpleasant but Not something I'm going to go hunt down I think.

Very glad I got a bottle of this. Bottle:Flower-y. I can smell hints of the lily and wisteria Wet on Me:Well blended and soft flowers. Touches of light musk here and there Drying Down:Still a very lovely and light floral. Of all the flowers tho, the lily is strongest. Dry:Soft powdery Floral. Very sweet and nice and lovely. This is a lovely lil summer evening flort of a scent.

Imp from my latest order: Imp: Sage & Musk and hint of berry Wet on Me: Berries come out to play! Then the sage comes out with the musk Drying Down: Green. Green tea and sage. The musk heads out of town. and Berries again! Dry: BERRIES! Lovely lovely berries! I smell like summer berries! Throw: Good. wish it was stronger Stay: Good but also wish this was longer I like this. Probably bottle worthy down the line.
