It starts out very light and sweet - floral with a touch of spice. As it dries down, it is a nice smell, but it reminds me of expensive soap. Lovely, but a swap pile add.

At first when I sniffed this, it was very sweet with the cherry and honey, but once it dries down the fun begins. The vanilla with the clove and touch of the cherry keep it lasting as a nice warm scent. I don't know if it is bottle worthy, but I will definitely use this imp.

Whoa - sweet. Overly so in the imp - on the skin it is still strong, but not as bad. Still just too much, though. It makes me think of a candy store, so maybe you are holding a lot of sweet strawberry candies in your hand.

Comes out so sharp from the imp, so much in fact that initially I gave this one star, but in effort to review my stash of imps I put it on. The spice is nice on the arm. I am so used to my spiced perfumes like Morocco having the vanilla undertone, which this one certainly does not. I just can't decide if it is too masculine or not - going to put it in the pile to try again and see how it goes.

Initally, this scent is really sweet but it really smoothes out with the amber and patchouli with a hint of the floral. It is nice, but not something I would continue to wear.

This is a dark musky, floral on me. It is a bit too dark and heavy for my liking though. Not bad, just heavy.

It comes over as an herbally green masculine scent with a touch of incense that isn't too masculine. I wouldn't mind cozying up to this scent, but I wouldn't wear it.

First whiff of this put it in the no pile due to the sharp scent, which was probably the lemon, although the verbena should have lowered that.

When I took the chance to try it on, the sharpness does fade out when it dries a bit. Now it is more floral. Not a serious dislike anymore, but not one I would buy.

I am a fan of rose, jasmine, pathchouli (often) and vanilla. The bourbon just warms it up a bit. Maybe that is why I am such a fan of Emma. Plus, I get compliments on it, so it must work for me.

I smells sultry and sexy. It does have a bit of a throw on it, but with this - I don't mind at all.

Another food one, which isn't up my alley. So sweet with the cake and sugar. A coffee shop or bakery smelling like this could work, but not a perfume on me.

Oh well, into the swap pile.

Very strong with the sweet coffee. I am not a big foodie perfume fan, so this isn't quite for me, although I like the smell of coffee (although the taste is less than I desire). It is excessive sweet of the coffee that just turned me off.

Nope, just not for me.

Liking this one- starts out super sweet with, I believe, the Dragon's Blood. Once it dries down a bit, I get the leather, juniper with the added sweetness of the blood and possibly berries.

I definitely am getting a warm orange smell. It is almost like depending on the waft, I can get the orange or the patchouli. Definitely going to use up this imp and figure if I want it as a bottle.

edit to add: after further dry down, I think the pathchouli overtakes the orange. While it isn't bad, I think it is just too strong.

This is one of my loved perfumes. It smells so warm, spicy and vanilla. I have put this on to get into the mood for belly dance performances. Amazing!

I totally get the start out of the green and citrusy with a touch of the aquatic sharpness. The green may come from that ash manna. Very spring like. When it dries down, it has like a smooth, sweet smell. That may be me picking up the honey. It is nice, but I don't think it is something that I would purchase

Wow... strong scent on me. Very musky and woodsy - kind of masculine. Just not for me.

Really like this one when I just want a light rose/floral note. Don't think I will buy a whole bottle of it though.

This smelled very strong on me. Very spicey and heavy. Guess it just doesn't work so well on me.

I am definitely picking up the floral, and I think the fruit is what brings in the sweet. Althogether, this is a nice smell, kind of a warm, sweet fruit basket with flowers, but it isn't something I would wear.

It definitely makes me think of walking through an area of the botanical gardens.

When wet, this is very manly on me. I was surprised to read the rose, until I realized that was what I was smelling on the dry down. I was sure it couldn't be, since I was certain it was a masculine scent, but there it is. This one through me for a loop. It isn't one I could wear regularly, but at least I am learning that I sort of amp the rose scents in the oils.

I think I am where so many others are. This is strong floral, which I believe to be the jasmine. While I like jasmine, it is just too strong for me in this mix. When it dries down and softens out, I get a floral powdery smell. It is just difficult to make it through the strong florals, so I will have to pass on this one.

This smells like fancy bar soap - honey and powdery. That is all I am getting. Wet, it is a bit like shampoo with a bit of the sharper smell, and it dries down to soap. Pretty, but soap.

Initially wet this is definitely citrusy. Once it dries down, I do get the fruity/floral smell. I whole-heartedly agree with odalisque that this has the essence of dryer sheets. Yes, I love that smell, but I don't know if I could regularly wear this as a perfume.

Wow - Cinnamon! It blends out nicely and smoothly. I think that is from the sandalwood.

This is wonderfully warm.

I am in the rose boat. Lots of rose wet, dry, aged and spilled on the floor (damn). It isn't bad. It is nice and feminine without being overly rosey, although it does remind me a lot of wandering through the rose area of the botanical gardens. I think that is the addition of the wood.

Nice, but a lot of rose.
