This is a beautiful scent. Soft and floral with a touch of fruit. The only problem is that it reminds me of expensive soap. I would love this soap, but I don't see myself wearing it as a perfume. Oh well.
-
Starts out deliciously rosy. But the dry down just leaves a mild cinnamon. Just didn't work for me.
-
Very masculine. Reminds me of drying leaves.
-
Nice juniper and pine. I can see how this would go masculine, but right now it is a nice scent for just mellowing out.
-
Loving the rose in this one. There is a bit of a warmth to it that, I believe, comes from the hazelnut. It is warm and feminine. Nice. Guess I have a love of the rose smells.
-
Ah, sloth. I didn't sniff it in the vial, which was probably my undoing. Now that it is on my skin, it is dark and heavy. I am not a fan of this, and I am pretty sure there has been a trend for me against vetiver. I need to get this off my skin now.
-
Really getting a foodie smell. It has to be the almond coming out in it. It is a nice smell, but just not on my skin.
-
Lovely smell. A lighter masculine mix, but still masculine. I could nuzzle up to this, but don't see myself wearing it.
-
This imp goes on like sweet candy. As it dries down, the amber comes through a bit more, but the peach and vanilla are still stronger, which has it still smelling like candy.

A scent as sharp as glass shards, and as brittle as a broken heart. The formula came to me - quite literally - in a dream, and is named after, and created in memory of, the last poem that I ever wrote… almost ten years ago to the day. A blend of white champagne notes, grapefruit, lotus, slivered mint and crystalline aquatic blooms. This imp came out really sharp wet. A little too sharp. On dry down, I am getting a sharp citrus. That may be the champagne with the grapefruit. It just doesn't really work on me.

Sea spray with an undercurrent of leather, Bay Rum, and salty, dry woods. Love this scent. The leather is amazing with the saltiness. It isn't for me, but I could totally take this smell on a guy I was cozying up to. Smells deliciously masculine.
-
This smell is definitely fruity. The citrus is strong and has the plum behind it. I also catch the strength of the amber behind it. Even though I love citrus, I just don't know if I could wear it.
-
Really liking this scent. I am getting the lilac, lavender with a touch of rose. It is a little soapy, but I think I will take it if it comes with the other notes as well. the green is a nice touch. Kind of like taking a walk through a garden.
-
What I thought was a light rose is more likely the sweet pea. The floral is cut by the green smell, which I take to be the sage with the other notes cutting out the sageyness from it. I like this. It is girly, but not overly so.
-
In the imp it smelled citrusy, I guess that would be the melon. Lots of melon. I think I am getting the juniper note, but still sweet and fruity. Not quite perfume of choice.
-
By the ingredients and notes, this should have worked, and while it is nice - it comes across a little too sweet for me. Strange that sweet would go with rage, but oh well... gotta love chemistry.
-
Definitely get the lemon verbena and Green tea with a back hint of the jasmine. Overall, it is a nice scent but goes kind of soapy on me. Nice, but will be swapping.
-
In the imp, this is really strong lily, so I was expecting to amp it like the original Tiger Lily, but on the skin the other notes even it out. It is a lot of lily still, but has been made nice, warm and smooth.
-
I am loving the sandalwood and greenness of this. Definitely woody, but with light florals just peeking through.
-
Started smelling like twizzlers when wet, but has dried down to the clove with a touch of cinnamon over the sweetness of the dragons blood.
-
I am really liking this one. It is a delicious blend of sweet and spicy. I wasn't sure what cassia was, but if it is what is giving it a touch of the spice undertone, then I like it.
-
I thought this one would really work for me, but I can only think that it is the vetiver that is totally overwhelming the rest of the scent. Pity - it sounded like something that I would really like.
-
Wow - liking this one. Serious lavender with a smoothed out edge that sort of warms it to me. I could see getting a bottle in this - first must use up the imp.
-
Loving this scent. I am a fan of rosemary, lavender and verbena, but they can get a little strong. I think this is where the frankincense takes part (maybe the neroli too) and mellows it out with a touch of warmth. Definitely going to use up this imp and ponder a bottle.
-
Definitely have the lily here with a touch of sweetness yet darkness (does that even make sense?). I usually amp lily, but not in this one. Instead it wears nicely, but I fear that it may fade quickly.
