    Hamadryad

    From the imp, and when I applied it, it was veeery woodsy, I could see the dark soil and brown bark and thick leaves, and it made me a little weary... But when it dried down, it was all cinnamon on my skin. Not the sweet cinnamon I´m used to, more like some cinnamon tea or something, it has a watery feel to it. Overall a very nice and quite uncommon scent for a perfume, I like it!

    Bliss

    Woooooaa! This is chocolate! Shame, it sticks very close to my skin and I almost feel like my wrist is attached to my face now. I would have loved it to whaft a little more, so that others could enjoy it too Bliss smells similar to Spooky on me, minus the mint. I really like Spooky, and I think the mint is what makes it kind of special. That said, I will be using my imp and I think I will wear it when I go to see Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka Hmm, I think I´m gonna have to raid my fridge now, in the hopes that I might find some left-over chocolate...

    How much does it cost to ship internationally?

    I´m not Canadian, but there were a few posts on this towards the end of a thread called international shipping info+questions, you could check there. Or, I guess you could find out by searching the web, that´s what I did, but then again, I´m in Norway and don´t have many fellow forumites here You could probably just try to pm some canadian if you can find one (they seem to be all over the place!), I´m sure most of them would be happy to help

    How to make a paypal order.

    Well, if you want to, I think you should. Even though they are busy at the lab, you shouldn´t have to worry about something like this, and I´m sure they don ´t want you to lose any sleep over it either Personally I´ve always recieved my mail (as far as I know....) and I´ve seen my share of different takes on my address. Once a friend sent me a postcard not knowing the name of my street, so she wrote "the white house on top of the hill, next to the newsagent´s" and I got it.

    How to make a paypal order.

    Thanks Inkstone, that was überhelpful Yeahbutnobut. I have the same problem, but I think I included my address when I placed my lab orders. (at least with some of them, one can never be too sure when my memory is involved...) I haven´t recieved any of them yet, but I wouldn´t worry too much. While the postal service can be a bit f*cked up, I don´t believe they´re that useless. The way I see it stating London twice should really be more helpful to them Anyway, I´ve started to state that I don´t want paypal to add my address and then just type it in the comments field. Cause I have enough to worry about as it is

    How to make a paypal order.

    theshapeshifter, I wish someone would answer your question, cause I´m curious as well.... I only have cc paypal and I set it up recently in order to buy me some BPAL, and I don´t really have the first clue as for how to get money from sales or how bank account stuff works... And that limit is giving me nightmares!!! As for the address (I know this-yay!!), when you´re "closing the deal", paypal asks whether you want to include your shipping address or not. You can also add more addresses and then choose which one you want to include in the particular transaction. Hope that´ll help some of my fellow noobs

    Gluttony

    When I got this in the mail, it was my very first imps (from a kind forumite ), and as soon as I opened the envelope, I went "eww, what´s that???". It was Gluttony. I´m a chocaholic, but this did not work for me. At all. I was actually a bit put off to all the imps at first, cause it was so difficult to tell which one the smell came from. But okay, I decided to try it on after a while, hoping it would change, but it still smelled very bitter, and like burnt chocolate or toffee, so I had to wash it off. I have since put it in TWO plastic bags, both sealed shut, waiting to swap it for something else. Too bad, I like to sin

    Spooky

    Yaaaaay! Mint chocs!! It´s just like After Eights, which used to be my all time favourite chocs when I was a kid, except this is milk chocolate, not the darker one. Something weird happens when it dries down on my skin, but it´s barely noticable and I´m gonna keep wearing it anyway cause it´s so niiiice. I´m so happy I got to try this one and will plea for a return so a newbie like me can get some more....

    Maenad

    Disappointed! I didn´t get any fruit or sweet candy, all I got was INCENSE... and a strong one at that. Just to make it perfect I can´t stand incense and it gives me a headache. I had to go scrub it off, and the positive aspect of Maenad would be that it was veeery stubborn and long-lasting

    Dilution and Carrier Oils

    Ok, so I tried to dilute one of my imps, cause my nose is such a fragile little thing. The only thing that happened, as far as I can tell, was that it didn´t last very long on my skin.The smell was just as strong, or at least so close that I couldn´t tell the difference. And after about half an hour, I could hardly smell it at all. This is weird, concidering that almost any scent seem to last very long on me. And, of course, I curse the thing, cause what I liked about the oil in the first place, was the way my skin smelled after a while, when the fiercy notes disappeared. Have any of you experienced this? Or is it just me? I should add that I´ve also diluted a non-bpal oil once and same thing happened, only this time it was much more noticable.

    Black Pearl

    Ok, this is my first review. I´m slightly nervous. At first it´s some flower, maybe it´s the iris? I have no clue what iris smells like, but his reminds me of something orchid, some tropical flower. Very soon it turns *sweeeet*, very sugary, I think caramel would be the closest word. I keep sniffing my wrist, it´s so yummy! But then... floral again... I´m not too fond of that flower, I want more caramel!!! It last for hours (but then again almost anything does on my skin), and when I go to bed I want to snuggle up to myself It´s all musk-y now and makes me think of a white musk perfume I used to wear when I was 13 or so, which is weird, but nice-weird. And, sniffing the imp again a couple of days later, it´s caramel again!!! Yay!!! I would concider buying a bottle of this at some point, but right now I don´t think I should marry the guy I lost my virginity to, I need to sleep around a little first
