Bottle (Imp): Oh, yummy sweet! Some spice to that as well. Just On: Oh. My. Gods. I LOVE THIS. It's sweet, spicy, and beautiful. An hour or two later: Less sweet, still some spice, and gorgeous. Around 6 hours: It's starting to fade away to a soft sweet spice. I'm so in love. 12 hours: It's almost gone, with the barest hint of it's sweet spiciness left on me. Overall: I adore this scent. If this comes out, I'll be in heaven, and will certainly buy it as soon as I can. This captures it's name beautifully, and I want MORE. After reading other reviews: The almonds didn't overwhelm me at all, in fact, I didn't really smell them that much. I know I should totally pass this on to others to try, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to use it at least a couple more times first, and then surprise somebody with it. It doesn't really remind me of any holidays, it's just decadent, and rich, and wonderful.

Bottle (Imp): Very herby. Just On: Herby, green, and the tiniest bit of sweet. An hour or two later: This starts to turn a bit bitter because of my skin. Around 6 hours: It's starting to fade, but still green, herby, sweet, and a little bitter. 12 hours: It's mostly gone, I can only smell it when I really try now. Still the same, just very faint. Overall: I'll have to test this out for usage, but as far as a scent, it's not the best I've come across for my skin. After reading other reviews: I didn't get the soapyness out of this that so many others seemed to have, but that's perfectly okay to me. I'm going tro try this out at the next munch and see if the guys give me any extra attention (beyond the attention I already get because I'm obnoxious heeeeeee).

Bottle (Imp): This smells musky to me. I was totally expecting some pretty sweet smell, and this is dark and musky. Just On: The muskiness lessens, and it gets a bit of sweetness to it. It's still far less innocent than I figured it would be. An hour or two later: It's kind of a musky sweet, and almost neutral to my nose. I don't know how to describe that, just neutral is the only word I can think of. Around 6 hours: It's fading away, but staying the same. 12 hours: It's all gone now. Overall: It starts out pretty musky, then starts to turn into fruit as it wears. It does better and better until it's gone, but it kinda creeps me out just a little. I may have to try this one again later and see if it changes. After reading other reviews: I didn't really get any flowers or citrus out of this one. And I see I'm not the only one who ran into a muck or dark smell, so it wasn't my imagination.

Bottle (Imp): Chilly and a bit herby. I get this picture of a stern older gentleman sitting in his parlor, looking down his nose at a wayward youngster. Just On: It gets a bit different, bit still seems more chilly than anything. There's something else bubbling there. An hour or two later: I get more sweetness out of this now, and a little bit of smoke. This gentleman is a Master, and he has been smoking his pipe. Around 6 hours: It went away! 12 hours: All gone, still <g>. Overall: Oh, if this were to last longer, I'd love that. It's one I like a lot. Good thing, I have a couple imps of it, and I'll probably hang onto at least one. After reading other reviews: I'll definitely have to try this layered with O, and maybe a couple others and see what I get. If I could wear Whip, it might be the perfect bolend, but my skin ruins Whip in about 30 seconds flat. Maybe with De Sade. Muahahaha. I would trade my left boob to try some of the old Hellfire, but I'm happy with this one as well.
-
Bottle (Imp): Ooh, spicy roses. Just On: Spicy roses, and my skin is already trying to turn this to soap. An hour or two later: Yeah, it's really great in the imp, and then my skin destroys it. Around 6 hours: Still a bit of sweet soap. 12 hours: It's gone now. Overall: I'm not so sure about wearing this one, but I would love to use a scent locket, or perhaps use it as a room scent. It's gorgeous until my skin wrecks it. I so wish I could wear roses, but so far it's just not working. I'm not giving up yet though. After reading other reviews: I never got the wine out of this one, and of course no grapes or fruit either.
-
Bottle (Imp): Oooh, beautifully sweet. Must be the lotus. Just On: Yummmm. A candy sweet scent. An hour or two later: Hmm, it's still sweet, but something else seems to be coming out. Around 6 hours: Oh no! My skin seems to be making this into soap! Ahhhhh! 12 hours: It faded down into soap, so this looks like a room scent for me. Overall: I loved the way it started, but my skin ruined it, so I guess this is one of those ones I'll buy as a room scent. It's awesome, just can't be something I wear on my skin. After reading other reviews: I didn't get the cherry scent, it was more of a candy sweetness.
-
Bottle (Imp): This smells smoky and a hint sweet to me. That's the dragon's blood, and I guess the amber as well. Just On: Oooh, it's kind of smoky still, a little more sweet, and a hint incensy. An hour or two later: Sweet smokiness and incense. I like it. Around 6 hours: It's starting to fade away, and still smells very much like it did at first. 12 hours: It leaves just a trace of incensy sweetness on me now. Overall: I like the sweet part of it, and the incensiness, but I'm not so sure about the smoky part. It's a little burnt on me, so I may have to try this one again. It's on the like list though. It never went powdery as amber often does on me (which would have been fine too). After reading other reviews: I like the way this plays out on my skin, and it's so well blended that it's hard to separate the scents in my head. It's like one gorgeous scent. I really never got cherry, almond, or flowers as some other folks did.
-
Bottle (Imp): Ooh, another sweet scent. Just On: Mostly sweet with some green to it. An hour or two later: This gets greener as time goes by. Around 6 hours: Yummm, Jester is yummy. 12 hours: It's gone now, and I miss it. Overall: This is a wonderful scent. It makes me feel bubbly when I wear it, and I like that. It also morphs into a lovely sweet green scent. After reading other reviews: Picture me in jester clothes, and you have how I feel when I wear this. Muahahahaha. I'm not sure where the green comes from, but it works, and it's lovely. I didn't quite get the candy scent that others did, but this is still headed for the big bottle list (you know, for when I win the lottery and can buy one or two if everything).
-
Bottle (Imp): This is sweet and a little bit flowery. It's a very pleasant scent to my nose, giving me the impression of pastel sweetness and vivid yellow flowers. Just On: It's sweet, a little spicy, and flowery. I get a little red mixed in with the yellow, but not to make orange, they aren't necessarily blended. An hour or two later: Still about the same, though starting to wear off. Around 6 hours: I am getting a hint of soapiness now. 12 hours: It went away now. Overall: I like Alice (I keep thinking of the song Go Ask Alice for some reason). It makes me feel content when I sniff it. After reading other reviews: I didn't really get the milk part of this, but the rest was awesome. Apparently these flowers like my skin.
-
Bottle (Imp): Oooh yummy sweetness. A red juicy sweet. Just On: Bursting red juicy sweetness, and oh so lovely. Almost fruit punch-like. I LOVE this. An hour or two later: There's still some sweetness, but not as much, and it's not so juicy. Around 6 hours: It's almost all gone, leaving just a faint hint of fruit. 12 hours: This pretty much faded away, though I can smell the barest little bit of it now. Overall: This heads for the big bottle list. The berries fairly burst on my skin, and I am so tempted to go berry picking right now. After reading other reviews: Plums! They smell like berries to me, and I love them. This isn't just plums, or I'd probably have known it, but it's delicious, and wonderful.
-
Bottle (Imp): Green and minty. More mint than green. Just On: It starts to get more green than mint right away. An hour or two later: It's almost all gone already. Around 6 hours: It's mostly gone now. 12 hours: All gone. Overall: This was yummy. I could see ordering more of this, it feels like an uplifting scent. Somehow it seems to fit it's name as well. After reading other reviews: I got the green herbs, and the mint, but I really never got lime or lavender. Add me to the folks who love this scent.
-
Bottle (Imp): Green, fresh, and a little bit foody. Just On: A little stronger green, and fruity. An hour or two later: This gets sweeter with time. Around 6 hours: It's mostly faded into a sweet skin scent. 12 hours: It's all gone now. Overall: I like this one. It is certainly similar to KoD, but sweeter. After reading other reviews: I didn't get a lot of flowers out of this one at all. I like the way it fades down on me.
-
Bottle (Imp): This smells earthy and a bit pine. Just On: Yeah, I get evergreen, fresh evergreen. An hour or two later: This fades to fruit sweetness replacing the evergreen thing. Around 6 hours: It's pretty well gone. 12 hours: All gone now. Overall: This is a nice scent, and I could see wearing it when I go out camping. It makes me think of long walks through the woods. After reading other reviews: I didn't really get any citrus out of this, but I did get fruit. It's a nice scent, fairly masculine, and a really nice complement to the Queen of Diamonds.
-
Bottle (Imp): Evergreen, a bit sharp. Fairly fresh. Just On: Oh, something else comes forth right away to play with the fresh evergreen. An hour or two later: Whatever came forth at first is getting stronger, and the evergreen scent has faded away. Around 6 hours: It's a very pleasant calm scent for me, anyhow. 12 hours: It's pretty much faded away. Overall: I like this scent. It's another that reminds me of the woods, but with that other thing coming out to play, it made me smile several times over. After reading other reviews: It must be the moss that came out to play, now that I've read other reviews.
-
Bottle (Imp): A little bit sweet, and some nice spice to it. Just On: Yummy spice. An hour or two later: This has a gorgeous spice to it, but has started to fade. Around 6 hours: It's almost gone already. 12 hours: It's totally gone. Overall: I like this scent. I can see dabbing a bit of this on to lay out in the sun. After reading other reviews: I didn't really get citrus or pine out of this one. I liked it nonetheless, and would buy more if it were available.
-
Bottle (Imp): Oh yes, it smells like apricots to me. Just On: Wow, really strong apricots. Yummy. An hour or two later: Gorgeous juicy apricots. Around 6 hours: Wow, this turns into dried apricots. I have some, and I love to munch on them.. 12 hours: It's pretty much gone. I like this. Overall: This is truly yummy, and was worth every penny I paid for it. I would love to layer this with other fruity scents and just smell like fruit all day long. After reading other reviews: I have to agree with the others who posted that it smells like dried apricots, though it starts out much juicier to me.
-
Bottle (Imp): Nummm, minty. Just On: Definitely minty. Almost like after dinner mints. An hour or two later: The mint has faded, and left some sweetness on my skin. Around 6 hours: A little bit of mint, and some sweetnes, and it's starting to be a skin scent. 12 hours: It's left me now. Overall: This smells wonderful, and I can see going for more of it. After reading other reviews: I never got the boozines out of this that others did. I like it anyway, that's not so important to me.

Aunt Caroline's Money Draw
OriginalWacky replied to lavinia's topic in Prosperity, Success, and Good Fortune
Bottle (Imp): This smells pretty crisp and green. Just On: Very crisp. Green, and a bit like money. An hour or two later: This has some spice to it, and is still pretty crisp. Around 6 hours: Hmm, it's settled in as a skin scent, and is mostly gone. I'll be trying this out in ritual very soon. 12 hours: Quite faint, and I would think it was my own skin were I not wearing anything else, and can tell the difference. Overall: This is a nice scent, and I certainly will be using it for ritual work. At the same time, I could see using this as a perfume to give myself a little extra ooomph when I'm trying to deal with financial things. After reading other reviews: Goodnerss, my skin must have eaten the oranges and cinnamon, as I got none of those. It's going to take a bit of time for me to do any ritual with it, but I'll keep track of that and see how well it works there as well. -
Bottle (Imp): Very green and crisp, and the herby scent I would expect Mistletoe to have. Just On: Oh, this is an evergreen scent for sure, and Mistletoe does smell like this. An hour or two later: Sharp evergreen scent. Around 6 hours: A faint bit of evergreen scent, but it's pretty faded. 12 hours: It's pretty much gone, there is the vaguest hint of green left. Overall: This is yet another awesome creation by Beth. Every time I think there just can't be anymore that impress me so much... another one comes along. Althogh this isn't the kind of scent I wear, I'm just so impressed in general that I squee with joy every time I get my hands on something new. After reading other reviews: I would have to agree with those who said this isn't complex, but a lovely simple scent.

Bottle (Imp): Oh yes, this is a rose. A beautiful rose. Sooo wonderful. Just On: My skin immediately starts to ruin this scent. It's still okay at first, but it starts to turn kinda icky. An hour or two later: Powdery soap. My skin always ruins a rose heavy scent. Around 6 hours: It's more powdery flowers than soap now, but it's still not nearly as gorgeous as it was in the imp. 12 hours: It's pretty much gone, but there is a hinty of soapy powder left. Overall: This is an absolutely beautiful scent, and my skin wrecks it. I figured it would, but am so happy I got to try it anyway. After reading other reviews: I agree that it's a freshly cut rose, before you've even left the bush you've snipped it from. I'm not a huge rose fan (scentwise) besides real ones, and this smells real. If it worked on my skin, I'd probably be hopping to find some.

Bottle (Imp): This is flowery and maybe a little woodsy. Just On: About like in the imp. An hour or two later: It's got some soapiness to it, but not a lot. Around 6 hours: This has pretty much disappeared, so I can't really say that it smells like anything anymore. 12 hours: Totally gone. Overall: This isn't too bad, and while it does get a bit soapy, it's not much. It fades very quickly on me though. After reading other reviews: I didn't get food-y or buttery out of this one. It's a nice scent, beautiful in the imp, but my skin rather mucks it up.

Bottle (Imp): This is slithering and dark and wet. Just On: Definitely aquatic, and dark. An hour or two later: Mmm, creepy. Around 6 hours: This has mellowed down into a murky aquatic scent. 12 hours: It's all gone. Overall: It completely fits it's name, and is exactly what I might expect out of this scent. Very lovely, though not my type. After reading other reviews: This wasn't that masculine to me, but then again, I used to wear Old English or whatever my Dad had, so I've always worn whatever I liked regardless of gender. I like it well enough, even though I'm not much for aquatics in most cases.
-
Bottle (Imp): It smells kind of crisp and blue-ish. Just On: Still pretty crisp, and it reminds me of incense in a way. An hour or two later: It gets a bit bitter. Around 6 hours: It's a tiny bit bitter, and a little bit gritty. Smells a little better than it did after the first hour or so, so my skin is tolerating it better or something. 12 hours: There's a tiny bit of gritty dirt left, and not much else. Overall: I like this, but can't really identify anything in it. After reading other reviews: I got no lemon, no anise, pretty much nothing the other reviewers had gotten, except for incense a bit.
-
Bottle (Imp): Oooh, citrus! Just On: VERY citrus. It overpowers any other scent that might be there. An hour or two later: It fades to the smell of toilet water?!? How very odd. It seems my skin hates this one. I mean it smells like a toilet after it's been flushed, not with cleaner, just toilet water. Around 6 hours: It left already. The toilet water thing wasn't necessarily bad, it's just the only thing comparable. It smelled like clear fresh toilet water. How odd that my skin would do that to it. 12 hours: Way gone. Overall: This wasn't to bad, though it probably wouldn't give me any extra moxie. After reading other reviews: Apparently I'm not the only one who gets citrus on this one. But I am the only one who found toilet water in it. I have to say, I liked the scent, either way, as the citrus was great, and the toilet water did remind me of a CLEAN toilet, which is a goood goood thing.
-
Bottle (Imp): Smells like fruit. Just On: Fruit, with evergreen. It goes pretty bitter on my skin. An hour or two later: It mellows down to a sweet fresh fruit scent that is quite lovely. Around 6 hours: Much more like fresh fruit than anything else, and it's starting to fade away. 12 hours: It's pretty much gone. Overall: It starts out with some bitterness... then it turns to a lovely sweet scent that I could sniff for hours. After reading other reviews: It wasn't really strawberries that I was smelling per se, but I'm gonna bet that was the fruit I got.
