    Daiyu

    In the Bottle: Berry tea, but mostly berry On My Wrist: Pure, sweet acai berry. My skin amps any berries so one little drop on the inside of my wrist almost drowned out the other scents I tried. Verdict: Sweet and fun. Definitely a summer scent Not for me because I'm not to found of pure berry scents and that's what this is on me.

    Gennivre, L’Artiste du Diable

    In the Bottle: Lemon and mint. On My Wrist: A cup of honey and lemon tea with a hint of lemon and sweet flower. Light throw and fair lasting power. Verdict: If I wear this too often the amount of tea I drink is going to increase. This is the first big bottle I ever bought! Now I just have to make it last

    The Torture Queen

    In the Bottle: Sharp green smell One My Wrist: Perfumey gardenia, resin and musk. Soft throw but amazing lasting power. Verdict: Beautiful! I'm definitely going to order a big bottle.

    The Mock Turtle's Lessons

    In the Bottle: Aquatic mint pure and simple. On the Wrist: Wet its aquatic mint tea. Dry down of strong floral with a bit of the aquatic mint remaining. Overall: I was hoping for something more purely aquatic. I like the scent but its too strong for me. I could probably stand it better if I diluted it.

    Snow-Flakes

    In the Bottle: Soft mint with a bit of ozone On My Wrist: Barely there mint with the cool scent of winter and a hint of something floral? Overall: I love it! I was looking for the scent of a cold morning and this is exactly it. It lovely and soft and now I have to start a search for a 5ml.

    Tweedledum

    In the Bottle: Sweet mango On My Wrist: Dries down to patchouli with a hint of sweet mango and fig. No tea. Overall: Light throw. I wish the fruit was more obvious on my skin but apparently my chemistry amps up the patchouli.

    Bliss

    Pure milk chocolate. I keep sniffing my wrist and the best part is it doesn't make me crave chocolate! It's chocolatey enough on its own that it satisfies the craving, this will a must when PMS hits:) The funny thing is my sister can't stand it she says it makes her "nose gag." I didn't know noses could gag. All I can say is she must be crazy, how can you not love the scent of milk chocolate!

    Love and Pain

    A half imp was included in a swap as a frimp. I love lavender, but unfortunately my skin amps up the tobacco so its all I can smell. My sister loves it and on her the tobacco is softened and you can actually smell the lavender.

    Et Lux Fuit

    Wet: Wonderfully sunny & warm flowers Dry: The flowers have disappeared and all that left is the ylang ylang and neroli Verdict: I had high hopes for this but unfortunately my skin amps up either the ylang ylang or the neroli completely hiding the florals, vanilla musk and honeycomb.

    Gluttony

    After a sniff from the bottle I almost past out from the sweetness. Dabbed on my left wrist it smells like caramel and maybe a bit of coffee, I'm sure though. However, its so sweet I don't think I could wear this regularly. Instead I'm going to save it and try it again when Aunt Flo visits me

    Dragon's Eye

    This is the very first of the Dragon's Blood scents I've tried and when I saw the imp was surprised by just how red the oil was. But I didn't let the color stop me and dotted a little on left wrist so here's my review. In the Bottle: Sweet/astringent flowers. Is that even possible? Wet: A bouquet of pure sweet flowers! Dry: Sweet flowers but with a hint of what I'm assuming is the resin. I don't smell the dragon's blood right away but after a deep sniff just as the scent of a spring bouquet is starting to fade a smokey scent wafts into my nostrils. I wasn't sure about that part at first but I can only smell it when I stick my wrist right underneath my nose. Otherwise the overall scent has good throw, although I don't know how well it last. Verdict: Definitely a keeper and encourages to try the rest of its kin.

    Shattered

    In the Bottle: Sharp mint Wet: Same as in the bottle, sharp mint that immediately warms my skin. I actually didn't like this at first, glad I waited for the drydown. Dry: Sharpness of the mint is beginning to fade and and the champagne come out and then the floral and citrus. An hour later no one note was dominate instead they all blended perfectly into a cool and invigorating scent.

    Snow, Glass, Apples

    Absolutely lovely! It reminds me of the very first perfume I ever fell in love with, the Disney Snow White body splash that I found when I was about 8 or so. I never got my hands on that perfume but now I have something even better. I smelled pure crisp apple nothing else, of course that might be because I'm suffering from a bit of a stuffed up nose. SGA's wearstength is pretty impressive, it lasted through a 2 hour work out and I can still get a whiff of it now. I just wish the throw was better. Other than that I am absolutely thrilled and will definitely be on the hunt for 5ml.

    Mag Mell

    When I first put Mag Mell on I wasn't sure, all I could smell was verbena and I already have quite a few oils with verbena in them. But I didn't put the imp in the discard pile immediately and instead chose to wait for a while. Boy am I glad I did! As I waited the "yellow" sharpness of verbena faded, it was still there but hint of a more "green" sharpness began to come out, the sage I guess. Now that its dry I get a quick whiff of verbena which is quickly followed by and hidden under, what I'm guessing is, the warmth of amber. It smells sort of warm-fruity-floral to me. Not a summer day but a summer evening, when you're settling down at the remains of a picnic and waiting for the fireflies to come out. Even though its sorta cool you soak in the warmth of the day from the grass. (I'm getting more poetic the more I try BPAL)

    Swank

    I got this as a surprise scent, wasn't even on my wishlist and I've fallen in love.My favorite of all the imps I've tried so far. I cannot express just how much I love this scent! I'm definitely going to have to get a bottle of this. One whiff and I can't help but feel more awake and happier. I don't smell anything "boozy" just crisp, wonderful pomegranate Plus, it lasts for hours I put it on 10 hours ago and its still there, faint but there. It definitely lasts!

    Coral Snake (2006)

    In the Bottle: Wet Apples Wet: Cinnamon, which surprised me because my tried it an it smelled strongly of apple, but on me it was spicy cinnamon, what really surprised me was that this cinnamon did not lead to sneezing or a headache for me. Usually I avoid cinnamon scented things like the plague, as they're basically just migraines in a bottle for me. Dry: Still cinnamon, but apple is starting to push through and maybe a but of the flowers. Verdict: Doesn't work with my skin The cinnamon remains the top note. I'll give it some more time but this will probably end up as a swap.

    Searching for a Peony

    My mom loved Bath & Body Works Peony scent, however it's been discontinued. I'm wondering if anyone can think of a BPAL oil that resembles it. Her birthday is coming up and I think it would make a pleasant surprise. Thanks in advance! Liz
