At first it is pepper and tea, but after the first 30 seconds there is orange sneaking up outside.

It dries down to a nice orange tea scent. I think it will be perfect for the summer.

 

This is all spicy clove and with the cigar smoke peeking out and around every once and a while. Very little wood. This is a comfort scent to me. I loves it.

In the bottle it is absinthe and florals...

Wet: On me it is sugared lilacs and sweet rose water...

Dry: True blue absinthe with swirls of lilac and rose.

 

This makes me insanely happy.

This is like cherry starburst filled with sugar dipped in vanilla cream with strawberry sugar.

It is bright perky and pink.

on first sniff I get licorice and rum.

Wet it is cigar smoke and alcohol still.

Dry I get cotton candy smoke and whiskey.

It really is like the circus. I like it. But the clown on the bottle is freaky to me

In the imp: caramel and butter

wet: Buttered popcorn

Dry Buttered popcorn

I really like it but it makes me want to go to the movies just to get the popcorn.

 

In the imp: florals and musk

Wet: Holy red musk all red musk all the time

Dry:Musk and roses.

It's actually quite nice now. Will have to try again to see if its a regular issue with the red musk amping in this.

In the imp this is orris root and honey. Once it hits my skin there is more honey the currant and patchouli. The orris fades into the background. There is enough patchouli in the to tame the swwetness, and enough sweetnees to make the patchouli behave and not go all dirty hippie on me. it really is a velvetty scent too.

This is really good. It isn't too masculine for a woman. On me it is a light lemon tea sweetened with honeyed vanilla.

In the imp this is berry and cologne.

Wet it is cognac, leather, paper bag and a little bit of berry.

Dry More berries and cream, mixing with the others.

Oh my I need More of this like ASAP.

In the imp this a soft tissuey type of scent. Wet on my skin it is honey and gardenia. Dry it is a sweet honeyed gardenia. I have trouble finding the rice paper. But I think I like it. More testing needed.

In the decant this is a nice creamy plum. Once it hits my skin it is PLUM PLUM PLUM all the time. Once dry it is a nice creamy plum again with swirls of nutmeg. This is a definite bottle for me.

This is heavy with vetiver and coconut to my nose. This adds a smoky aspect, and the coconut and the vanilla that comes out later add extra creaminess. It is sexy, and dark.

I really like this one. It is vanilla amber with soft whisps of orange blossom. It is sexy without being too crazy sexy.

In the imp chocolate buttercream

Wet wow this is good it is chocolate and a rich think creamy scent.

Dry: this is a really thick creamy chocolate buttercream frosting.

In the imp this was like creamed strawberries.

Wet it is white chocolate and strawberry.

Dry it is true to its name.

On me initially the throw is all chocolate, and the strawberry clings close to the skin. But as it wears it becomes a nuch more balanced blend.

In the bottle: lavendar fresh and green

Wet on my skin it becomes a sweet vanilla marshmellow with lavendar underneath.

Dry much the same as wet.

I ordered this because I have anxiety issues that cause issues sleeping. Well with this I had no trouble sleeping, but I di have trouble waking up. I think I will have to try the rest of the panacea blends.

In the imp this is musk and currant
Wet it is a creamy currant and honey.
Once it finally dries completely it is all musk and sandalwood with honey very incense like...
I think my imp of dickhead and I will get along.

In decant: whoa there lavender it is strong

Wet: the lavendar has bent the bergamot over and told it who is boss...

Dry: It is a brighter lavender. The bergamot finally made its presence known by taking away some of the heaviness of the lavender.

Nice but not an all the time deal. I will keep my decant.

This is for the ressurected version. In the bottle it simply smells like a carnival food area. On me first there is a buttery scent with some sugar (funnel cake I assume). Then as it dries the cotton candy becomes easily findable, and so does the caramel from the caramel apples. I am a foody so this is made of win for me.

In the imp this is poppy an something green and sharp. Wet the honey comes out and makes it a poppy with red berries in the background. the popy and berry and honey blend together beautifully with just a hint of green.

This is the 2008 version. In the imp it is amber and incense. Wet it is sweet golden amber with resins peeking through. As it dries it is a beautiful golden amber resin, with what ssems like vanilla peeking though(assumed to be the tonka and/or benzoin).

Apparently dirt is not my friend. When I first sniff it in the imp it is cherries and dirt.... when I put it on the first hour or so is all dirt or mud. But it seems as if the cherries and plum and jasmine were in the corner plotting a sneak attack, because as I was sitting at work I later went Hey, whose perfume smells so good. Only to realize it was me. It turned into a beautiful blend of jasmine and fruit with a touch of musk and dirt. I will have to try in my locket to see if it morphs faster.

Tea Rose, citrus and leather combine to make a really pretty scent which seems evocative of a London from the past. I will keep my imp, and wear it in my locket to make it last.

Cinnamon and rose. An interesting combination. It winds up being all rose and something green. It burns off quickly....Okay for a light floral but not a me all the time deal...
