As per Ouch's review, I'm not sure on which kind of Hellfire my imp is, since it feels like none of the two!!
Imp: as I open the imp I smell a very warm honey, with a slight hint of metallic in the background
Wet: on, it reminds me of old, humid and rundown houses and mossy stones. It's somewhat green and wet but still resinous and honey.
Dry: it's still green and wet with a resinous and powedry note. It smells like antique furniture's wax and beeswax. Could it have an amber element?
Overall: I like it and it's quite lasting on me. It kind of remindes me of something pleasant and warm. I would like a bottle.
Again, I cannot detect leather. Must be my veganness rebelling agains it !!

When I recieved the imp, I went to read the description and was really curious to try such a strange mix of ingredients.
In the imp: I smell a very green perfume, something like pine, but with something metallic in the background. I assume this must be the anise.
Wet: still very green but the metallic has morphed into cinnamon and spices, becoming warmer.
Dry: Frankincense comes up to make it more warmer. After a while all I can smell is rubber and smoke, very pleasant.
Now I know that my skin kills leather tones, because I couldn't detect them and the same thing happened to me with Dragon Hide.
I like this smell, even if it's slightly masculine, but I think it's very sexy.
As usual it's not very long lasting (I have still to find a perfume that lasts on me more than 2 hours - the only exceptions are Avignone by Comme de Garcons and Eau Lente by Dyptique).
Have to have a bottle - NOW!!!!

This is a new imp I got and, after reading the description, I was really curious to try it.
In the imp: the first sniff is very sweet and fruity, with something dark lurking behind. I guess it's the amber.
Wet: the amber is really recognizable now but there's something more powedery, like orrisroot, that comes up and makes it become more complex and less fruity.
Dry: amber is sweetened by a new vanilla-ish note; the powder is gone - now it's only a sweet amber.
It's a loveley scent, very "adult", but unfortunately, my skin (as always) makes it disappear after 1 hour!!!
I also think that the name is quite appropriate: you have the fruits and the darkness, the neverending circle of nature.

This is an imp I've recieved.
I haven't smelled Dragon Blood (I have another imp of Dragon's Heart that I have yet to test) so I cannot refer to it.
In the imp: it smells veeeeeery sweet and flowery, with a hint of warm and metallic tones
Wet: very, very flowery with a vey light touch of spice.
Dry: still flowery. No leather and smoke detected. On me, it's just a flowery perfume. It did't last very long - after a couple of hours it was completely gone. From the smell I couldn't relate it to a dragon.
I think my skin kills everything tha's interesting in this oil and so it's not my kind.
I'm curious to try Dragon's Heart and see if it reacts like this!

This is the first imp that I recieved and I had to try it on, since i know that all scents change once on the skin and you can have some pleasant surprises.
Opened imp: I got a horrible whiff of almond (I hate almond...) but after a second sniff I realized it was a very twisted strawberry.
Wet: it felt like a strange and juicy strawberry but with a darker background note, which could be the poppy or the carnation.
Dry:I could only smell the strawberry, all the other notes were gone.
I cannot associate this scent with the name; it's a very young perfume to me, something that a teenager might wear. I cannot feel the madness, extasy and wilderness.
It's not bad but it's definetly not a perfume for me.

I was a bit disappinted with Dragon's Hide but Dragon's Heart is a whole different story!
Imp: the first impression is very flowery, with a metallic and resinous background - slightly verging on Chinese soap!
Wet: oh hello musks and fig, where where you hiding? Now the spiceness is comung out without the actual spices. The Chinese soap has luckily gone!!
Dry: sweet, powdery and sticky. Very musky, but not aggressve.
I really liked this one, it's yummy and sexy and it LASTED nearly 5 hours!!! It's a record for me!!!
