In the imp: Floral
Wet: Jasmine, ginger, and tropical flowers.
Dry: Green and bananas with some moonflower. Add a little spice.
Overall: This kind of smells like Lush's Jungle conditioner to me, which I like.
-
In the imp: Spicy, cinnamony, and a hint of musk.
Wet: Dragon blood resin, cassia, and a very subtle hint of pomegrante.
Dry: Spicy and smoky with a deep note of musk and myrrh.
Overall: Too smoky and musky for me.
-
In the imp: Leathery.
Wet: Leather with dragon blood resin.
Dry: Smoky with dragon blood resin and a hint of leather.
Overall: I don't like the smoky smell on the dry down, but I like it while it's wet!
-
In the imp: Honey with a soapy scent.
Wet: Vanilla with a hint of honey and dragon blood resin. I also smell cherries.
Dry: More of a dragon blood resin scent with some sweet-smelling vanilla.
Overall: This was a frimp, but it was a nice one. I like this scent.
-
In the imp: Grapefruit, lavender, and chamomile.
Wet: It gives my skin a lovely aroma that I didn't think I'd like with the grapefruit or the lavender.
Dry: I can smell more of the musk and the red currant now, but the grapefruit lets its presence be known in any phase of this scent. There's also a little linger of lavender.
Overall: It's refreshing and it has long staying power. I may have to get this in bottle-form!
-
In the imp: Medicinal
Wet: I smell faint berries, but mostly the overpowering scent of heather.
Dry: Heather
Overall: Not my cup of tea.
-
In the imp: Candyish, but nice.
Wet: A bit of prickly pear and quite a bit of amber. Some floral notes that I can't identify as well.
Dry: Clean-smelling and flowery with a hint of sage.
Overall: This was a frimp and while it's unique, it's probably not a scent I'd really chose for myself.
-
In the imp: Nice ambery scent with a little bit of fruity strawberry wine.
Wet: Heliotrope and amber blend nicely together and then I get the faint smell of vanilla strawberries. It smells playful right now.
Dry: The red musk makes its presence known and the strawberry and vanilla scents fade away quickly. It was nice while it lasted. The musk gives the amber a more sharp edge to it. I don't really smell any black cherry until quite awhile later.
Overall: It's a mixture of good and bad, just like Hollywood. It's sweet and innocent, flawed and secretive like me. I guess I like it then, ha.
-
In the imp: Smells like aged perfume you'd find in your grandma's closet 50 years later. Ick.
Wet: Mossy and earthy with lots of incense and a lavender quality to it.
Dry: *cough* Lots of incense and lots of earthy overtones. Soapy.
Overall: This is one of my least favorite scents. It actually made me cough. The name makes me think of that awful movie so I kept thinking it was going to smell like bubblegum and sunshine. Alas, this was a frimp, and I do think I know of someone who'll appreciate this scent more than I have.
-
In the imp: Bitter cherry and musk.
Wet: Smells sort of like licorice root to me for some reason with a hint of rose.
Dry: More of a lavender scent now, with musky overtones. And a hint of cherry.
Overall: I guess I'm not that much of a fan of lavender unless it's in a candle or something. I do like the smell of cherry, though, but I think this would be more suited on a guy.
-
In the imp: Spicy sort of like Dr. Pepper, but with cinnamon.
Wet: I can smell the red musk and the sugar cane with a hint of mango.
Dry: The mango faded into more of a lemony scent and I can smell woodsy scents that are more fruity than earthy.
Overall: I was hoping to smell more mango, but it's an all right scent. It's not on my top 10 list, though.
-
In the imp: It has a sort of neutral odor to me. Clean.
Wet: Awh, yes now I can smell the lilies. They're lovely.
Dry: I smell more of the honey now and it compliments the lilies in a pleasing way.
Overall: Tiger Lily is a nice, summery scent that I adore.
-
In the imp: Minty, but with a musky overtone.
Wet: Musky lavender with a citrus background to it. A twinge of pennyroyal.
Dry: Lavender is the main scent when it dries down with a bite of lemon. It has a deep earthy tone to it overall that I find sort of icky (on me anyways!).
Overall: It's not my thing. I tried it on my husband and it smelled a lot better on him than it did me. I think he has a new scent now, ha.
-
In the imp: Creamy and a little floral.
Wet: Carnation with a bit of rose. A hint of bergamont, but not very much. Very creamy, but the honey stands out more than the milk.
Dry: Lots of rose and lots of honey. Very powdery. Very.
Overall: Seems more suited for a child, but it's a cute, playful scent that I'll experiment more with (I'll let it age and see what happens with her).

-
In the imp: Pear and lily of the valley.
Wet: Delicious pear with a bit of white musk. The rose kicks in a little bit later and there's a bit of lily of the valley.
Dry: I mostly smell the rose and the white musk now.
Overall: I wish the pear would be more dominant in this blend and the rose is a bit overbearing, but it's still pleasant.
-
In the imp: Exotic and a bit spicy. Different.
Wet: Warm. I detect amber and musk. Can faintly smell vanilla.
Dry: Smelling more vanilla now as it balances out the spices.
Overall: I got this as a frimp so it's something I probably won't wear normally because I'm not that big of a fan of vanilla.
-
In the imp: I smell apple and bergamot with spicy patchouli and a bit of vanilla.
Wet: Musky and sugary and I definitely detect the blood red rose in this.
Dry: Nice blend of musk and patchouli with a hint of vanilla and fruit that dries to powdery goodness. It's also woodsy and mysterious.
Overall: It's definitely desirable, heh. I like the powdery finish.
-
In the imp: Wow, lots of toffee and chocolate!
Wet: I can definitely smell the vanilla and the buttercream and it's delicious. It's also very sugary! I feel like eating my arm now, haha.
Dry: The caramel appears stronger now and it smells like hazelnuts with dark chocolate.
Overall: Sinfully good!
-
In the imp: Roses with a hint of lilac, but sort of bitter.
Wet: Spicier than I thought it'd be... I thought it'd be more girly. I was wrong, heh. I can definitely smell the roses and it smells soapy.
Dry: It balances out a little bit better and I can now smell this wisteria. Still soapy, though. =(
Overall: Not my kind of scent. I got it because I really like lilacs, but I can't really smell them on me in this very well. Darn!
-
In the imp: Definitely smell the dirt and a hint of floral. It doesn't really smell like roses to me, though.
Wet: Still really smell the dirt, but getting a hint of moss now.
Dry: Mostly smell the mosses now, but the dirt is still lingering. I can now smell the roses a bit better now.
Overall: I got this as a frimp and while it's not a scent I'd probably wear, I do like smelling it out of the bottle, though. It's definitely interesting!
-
In the imp: Strong, ocean notes with a tangy scent (ozone, I assume). Mmm, electric!
Wet: Oooh, this is interesting. I like it a lot. I smell the sharp rain while the ozone scent blends with the ocean, making this a really interesting combination that's hard to describe.
Dry: It dries down to a lovely scent of mostly rain and bit of tangy goodness.
Note: This is a scent that I had to get in bottle-form. It's one of my favorites!
-
In the imp: Warm florals and citrus.
Wet: It reminds me of sunflowers and lilies for some reason. Nice and pleasant.
Dry: It smells more like ginger and citrus to me now. A little spicy, but relaxing.
Overall: It's probably not a scent I'd wear all the time, but it's nice.

In the imp: Melons
Wet: Smoky melons with a blast of alcohol. A twinge of juniper.
Dry: Burned melons and pepper with a very notable scent of tobacco.
Overall: I would probably love this a lot more without the tobacco in it.
