Imp: neroli and verbena
Wet on Me: ahhhh touches of lavender, and verbena with rosemary waiting in the wings.
Drying Down: lavender and rosemary and the neroli and verbena keep them from being too sharp. faint resin traces of the frankincense waft shyly all about.
Dry: this all smooths out to this herbal floral resinous love. -
Imp: heavy heavy dragon's blood and vetiver
Wet on Me: still heavy dragon's blood and veitver. hoping that as it dries I get more than that
Drying: getting the musk now and it's mingling with the dragon's blood and vetiver to become this heady cloud. really overwleming
Dry: mostly the red musk and never got any patchouli. Which is weird because my skin loves patchouli. thank heavens the vetiver faded.
Glad I got to try it, but it is not for me. Off to the trade pile! -
Aizen-Myoo
in Excolo
... Yuzu, kaki, and mikan with cherry blossom and black tea.Imp: aquatic white flowers
Wet on me: heady aquatic white flowers
Drying Down: still heady flowers, less aquatic. Seems like the tea cut that out.
Dry: this is pretty but too heady for me.
Off to the Trade pile -
Imp: GREEN!
Wet on Me: Green. the scent of green grass and green leaves in the spring
Drying Down: soap-y booze
Dry: green soap.
Interesting. Don't hate it. but probably trade it. -
Imp: definitely getting deep green faint traces of fruit and something...."dark"
Wet on Me: more dark fruits trying to get all heady on me but bumpin into that green
Drying Down: soap. dark fruity green soap.
Dry: kinda of a fruity soap.
Think I'll put this one on the trade pile! -
Imp: peach and wood and the osmanthus
Wet on Me: more peach and osmanthus
Drying Down: mostly sandalwood and light floral
Dry: pale and faint. delicate sandalwood
Pleasant but probably will trade the imp -
Imp: musk and amber and almond
Wet on Me: that cherry almond note with the amber hiding in the wings
Drying Down: creamy now. less of that dratted almond note and more of the cardamom and saffron warming up the amber and musk
Dry: creamy and sweet but not sugar sweet. like a chai sweet. the amber and musk keep it from going too sweet. just warm and sunny and creamy. -
Imp: light, happy, clean, citrus-y with a powdery under note
Wet on Me: clean. light white floral, bubbly sparkling happy citrus with no charpness
Drying Down: the citrus is fading to a heady white floral. Kind of swirling under my nose remind me who is in control of my scent experience.
Dry: this is a powder-y tropical floral scent. it kinda reminds me of that old old Avon scent White Hawaiian Ginger. -
Imp: Apple with a slight touch of herb
Wet on Me: sharp crisp apple. almost tart but not full tart
Drying Down: okay less sharp apple and more opium and herb. almost spicy
Dry: addicting apple and herb with opium. very pleasant -
-
Imp: bay and honey
Wet on Me: mostly honey now
Drying Down: honey. this smells like one of those sweet soaps you find in the hankerchief drawer in the attic of your great auntie's house.
Dry: nice....sweet but not my bag of tea. -
The spirit of temptation, the essence of lost innocence. Apple blossom, rose, ylang ylang and golden honey.Imp: ylang ylang and apple blossom
Wet on Me: ooohhh apple now
Drying Down: heck. rose is doing an appearance under my nose. this means all other notes are pushed to the rear never to be smelt again
Dry: Rose? why you doing me a hate? -
Imp: mmmmm juniper and patchouli to start
Wet on Me: still juniper and patch and loving so far....I have hope
Drying Down: okay getting the myrrh note now. has an old ancient forest type vibe.
Dry: mostly myrrh now. all the lovely patch and juniper got scared and ran off. -
Imp: dark red wine
Wet on Me: dark red wine but more 'grape' than alcohol
Drying Down: leather? not good leather but old dank worn hard and put away wet leather
Dry: old sweaty salted wine spilled leather. It's something alrighty. -
Imp: really dark heady old floral
Wet on Me: powdery dark floral
Drying Down: powdery and sweet from the sandalwood, musk and amber. the floral has faded a touch
Dry: this is definitely giving me 'male' vibes. sweet but deep and woody/resin-y. -
Imp: overly sweet cherry
Wet on Me: Vicks 44 cherry.
Drying Down: oooooo something went evil bug spray smelling. I'm getting a Raid note now
Dry: nope. can't do it. Cherry Raid over honey. nooooooooooooooo -
Imp: stright up red patchouli and vetiver
Wet on Me: more patchouli than the vetiver. crossing fingers because vetiver does not do me a happy
Drying Down: the patch is working hard to keep that vetiver at bay.
Dry: yay!!!! Patchouli saves the day!!!!! -
I can't believe it has taken me until NOW to test this imp!
Imp: Cedar? why am I getting cedar
Wet On Me: sharp, almost medicinal cedar
Drying Down: finally getting some of the patchouli notes...but it smells like it's been wrapped in cedar....could that be the sandalwood and frankincense tag teaming?
Dry: resin, incense, patchouli and the inside of a cedar chest. Not a bad thing, a comforting thing. -
Imp: musk and sandalwood
Wet on me: this is dark swirling headiness, all musk and incense
Drying Down: rapidly turning into baby powder incense. i tend to turn amber notes into baby powder.
Dry: the baby powder notes faded to a smooth incense scent. -
Imp: light dusty musty floral like you would find at your Great Auntie's armoire
Wet on Me: still a dusty musty floral
Drying Down: okey dokey now. air freshener rose, lilac and bandaids.
Dry: yeah. Rose and Lilac teamed up to become bullies on my skin. -
Imp: okay. cake. sugary cake
Wet on Me: cake cake cake. Cakeity cakes. I think I amp sugar scents. But we will find out!
Drying Down: less cake. slight vanilla. no currents....yet
Dry: vanilla cake. the currants finally came out of hiding but are only a shadow that adds a slight sharpness under the vanilla cake. I'm really not a foodie scent person. at least a baked goods foodie scent. -
Imp: powdery musky rose
Wet on Me: ugh. man rose does not even wait 30 seconds before starting the full blown hate on my skin
Drying Down: yup. rose
Dry: still rose. still rose that hates me. I'll keep trying. -
Imp: rose and jasmine are fighting to the death under my nose
Wet on Me: now I get that 'cat-pee' note people mention about and rose.....
Drying Down: Why does rose loathe me so? it's like I'm a red-headed step child
Dry: yuppers....I keep trying with rose and it keeps hating on me -
Simply cool, the essence of Lounge: the scent of a crisp pomegranate martini.Imp: oh hello lovely pomegranate! your color is sultry and sexy and lux. Your scent is the same
Wet on Me: oh lovely dark tempting pomegranate I do love how you love my skin
Drying Down: this pom is wonderful! really not getting the booze but dayum honey you wank!
