Ceri

In the vial: Spices and something dry, smells like oolong tea. Wet: Cardamom and rose? Dry: I'm not sure if there's any roses in this blend, but on me, this is thick rose syrup. Overall: I'm not too fond of rose scents, not for me.

In the vial: Citrus flavored cream. Quite yummy! Wet: Citrus and...burnt plastic. Dry: Burnt plastic. Overall: I had high hopes for this! Bummer. Not for me.

In the vial: Slightly sour vanilla Wet: Mmm, smell like peppermint candy. Yummy. Dry: Saffron & vanilla. Overall: I am definitely keeping the imp!

In the vial: Woodsy and green. Wet: Very woodsy, green and soapy. Dry: My skin eats this right up, less than 5 minutes into the scent, it has faded. I have to sniff right at my wrist to catch a very faint whiff of...the sea on board a pirate ship! Overall: A pity the throw was weak on me when it was the nicest! Not for me.

In the vial: Sweet, slightly powdery and musky. There's something fruity in this. Wet: I close my eyes, took a sniff and saw dried leaves and baby powder. This is the first time I can literally smell dried leaves! Wow. Dry: Baby powder. Overall: The reviews sound wonderful, but on me, this is all baby powder. Not for me. ETA: After around 2 hours, this has become quite a soft lovely vanilla. But I still can't get over the fact that there's still baby powder lurking in the background.

In the vial: Creamy current and honey. Wet: Black currant flavored baby powder. Dry: The baby powder is still going strong, but the honey and currant notes are getting stronger and now there's a tinge of sandalwood. Overall: This blend turns very baby powdery on me, not a good thing. The honey is also making the blend way too sweet for my liking. Will keep the imp to age and pray that the currant might win over both notes one day!

In the vial: I'm not very good with notes and all I can get from this is a lemony soap with musk. Wet: This is what I get from aquatic blends that went wrong! Lemony soap that's slightly aquatic. Dry: Creamy, soapy floral. The soapiness fades after about two hours and the sugar cane and honey becomes more evident. Overall: This is the nicest of all the blends I've tried that ended up soapy. I don't like smelling like soap, but this has grown on me. I quite like it. Will keep the imp! ETA: There's something in Giant Vulva that seems so familiar and I've finally gotten it! I dab a smudge of Kumari Kandam on my other wrist and realized that they smell quite similar on me after they have dried for a hour or so but Giant Vulva continues to morph into something more delicate.

In the vial: Spicy, musky orange. Wet: Musky cardamom, tea and tangerine. Dry: Lovely floral and tangerine tea. Wow. The notes have blended into a soft, warm and inviting scent. Overall: This is gorgeous! I have no other words to describe this! I absolutely love it! Now, I just need to hunt down a bottle!

In the vial: Fruity patchouli. Wet: Musk and patchouli. Dry: Oh my, what a change. This has morph into a gorgeous blend of fruity, musky vanilla with just a hint of patchouli. Overall: I love it! A bottle or two for me before CD leaves town!

In the vial: Musky pine. Wet: It is heavy on the smoky incense and musk. Quite earthy and there's definitely a wee bit of patchouli. Dry: Resins and incense overpower everything else, I can definitely smell honey and vanilla, but they like to play peek-a-boo. Appearing and disappearing as and when they like. I am not sure I like this much resins but the honey and vanilla balance it well when they are around. Overall: This dries down quite nicely, I am still not getting most of the notes I like but I know they're there. I will definitely be getting a bottle before the CD leaves town.

In the vial: Creamy incense and musk, as some others had mentioned - it does smells like cologne. Wet: Smoky incense and musk. Dry: Lovely vanilla with a hint of incense. Very nice! Overall: Incense tends to go powdery on me, but I'm glad that this has remain a lovely smoky incense instead of becoming baby powder. Overall, this is quite lovely, I'll definitely treasure my imp. I'm dying to try this side by side with antique lace for a comparison between the two.

In the vial: Creamy vanilla, there's a sweetness from it that should be from the date (I'm not too good with notes as I'm new to BPAL) and a tiny bit of spiciness from ginger. Wet: Sweet date (?). Vanilla has disappeared on me. Dry: Powdery, earthy and woody from the oud and/or oakmoss. A total difference from the creamy sweetness at the start. Overall: Quite nice, but there's something in it that doesn't quite agrees with me. I'm still not good at figuring notes out but this particular note adds something to the sweetness that really smells weird on me.

In the vial: Zing! Lemon and ginger. Wet: This is really bright and fresh! I feel like I'm eating a lemon candy. There's a hint of ginger in the background as well. Dry: Soapy lemon and ginger. It starts to get medicinal after awhile. Overall: A loud, bright, 'wake-me-up' scent. Somehow too cheerful and lemony for me but I'm glad to have gotten a sniffie.

Thanks for looking!

In the bottle: Creamy coconut and a slight bit of floral. Wet: Coconut and the smell of rain (?) I guess this is the 'Crisp Winter Wind' Dry: Coconut and floral. Overall: I'm not too fond of coconut, but this is surprisingly nice. However, snow white does not remind me of anything snowy or cold, but instead reminds me of a tropical island where there are coconut trees and blooming flowers.

In the bottle: Orange Blossoms and amber. Strangely, this reminds me of a medicine I used to take. Wet: I'm not sure why, it may be the combination of orange blossoms and amber, but this smell exactly like the medicine I used to take. Not good at all. Dry: Powdered Soap. Overall: The description sounds wonderful, but alas, my chemistry is playing a trick on me again. Floral never work well on me. This is off to a new home.

In the bottle: Just like a freshly cut rose, slightly green but still screams rose. Wet: It's a very green rose scent for the first few minutes, all sharp, green and crisp. Smells like grass for a minute or two before morphing into a sweet rose syrup. Almost artificial smelling but I can definitely see a red rose when I smell my wrist. Dry: Still sickly sweet like a rose syrup but with a very faint green edge. Overall: Rose scents are not for me as they make me sneeze a lot, but this is quite a nice scent.

In the vial: Crisp, floral and citrus. Wet: A light, sweet floral - it's not overly strong or cloying like most floral on me. Dry: A gorgeous light, sweet floral. There's a hint of fruitiness that gives the scent a bit of depth, juicy and not all flowery. Overall: A very gorgeous scent, the only con is that it fades fast - I can barely smell it after 10 minutes. I love it and will consider a bottle.

In the vial: Sweet, lovely peppermint. Quite yummy. Wet: Crisp mint and herbs. The sweetness totally disappears on my skin. ): Dry: Powdery mint and herbs. This is what happens when the musk appears, everything turns powdery. Overall: I like the scent, but the powdery finish (thanks to the musk) is holding me back from loving it. Will keep the imp!

In the vial: Orange blossom, nutty and woodsy. Wet: Woodsy incense. I'm new to BPAL thus I'm not sure where these notes are from. Might be the ginger and patchouli. Drydown: Sweet, woodsy incense. Overall: Not a bottle, but I'm keeping the imp.

In the vial: Amber, floral and lemony. Wet: Floral with spices. Sweetness that has a spicy and citrus aftertaste. Drydown: Amber and floral. A very sweet, warm scent. Overall: I can't see myself having a bottle, but I'll keep the imp!

In the vial: Florentine iris. Wet: The iris is overpowering the other notes but there is still a touch of creamy coconut and a hint of white musk. Drydown: It dries to musk, coconut and a very faint scent of iris and nuts. Overall: After wearing it continuously for a few days, I've grown fond of the scent. It's wonderful as a everyday scent and I'm definitely getting a bottle after I finish my imp!

In the vial: This is all aquatic and floral. As much as I love aquatic blends they usually turn soapy on me. Wet: Citrus, aquatic, floral. It's masculine yet it's also too floral to be masculine. I'm not sure if I am making sense here. :/ Drydown: I get a lovely mix of incense and aquatic here. The floral is well balanced by the two, not overpowering like most floral on me. This is beautiful. If this scent has a color, it will be the blue. Overall: *EDITED* About 30 minutes into the scent, it turns soapy and sickly floral. A disappointment, but will try it again and see if it's a keeper.

In the vial: A sweet fruity drink. Wet: Green. Most floral turns green on me at this stage. Drydown: Sweet floral, quite smooth, like a well mixed floral flavored drink. The rose is appearing slowly and soon that's all I smell. Overall: Strangely roses make me sneeze. That's what happened in the end. Not for me. I wished I could get the notes of 'deep aquatic notes and a twirl of melancholy autumn breezes' but they were not present for me. I will give this another try soon, I really had high hopes that I would love this. -Edit- After half an hour of wearing the scent, the pomegranate and peach decides to pay me a visit and the overall scent is quite nice - if I can forget the rose. At this point, the rose is faint (or it might just be my blocked nose from all the sneezing), and that leaves me with a nice juicy scent (minus the rose).

In the vial: Floral with a green edge, I think it's orchid but I'm not too sure. Wet: Sharp, green orchids and something else. I'm not very sure I like the smell of orchids but there's another note that is keeping it in check and makes the scent quite pleasant. Drydown: This dries to a soft lovely floral and currant scent with a underlying darkness to it that is quite gorgeous. Overall: I like it and will definitely keep my imp! Have to give it a few more tries before I will consider a bottle.
