i kind of like the smell of this, but am not sure i would really wear it. i am getting pine, vetiver and eucalyptus from this. it has a very antiseptic quality to it, and is a bit cold, almost like mint, but not mint...must be eucalyptus? very clean and piney overall.
-
this is pure lemon and resin/woods on me. i am getting lemon + pencil shavings, so it's either frankincense, cedar or some kind of sandalwood. i had high hopes for this one, but my skin just doesnt like it, unfortunately.
-
i think this is possibly honeysuckle with daffodil and maybe a touch of sweet pea and grasses. the honeysuckle doesnt go too sour on me as usual, and it is quite nice. this is a pretty light, sunny floral-this would be very nice for spring. i will definitely keep my imp.
-
wow, this scent is beautiful! it's a creamy musky floral, and there is something that reminds me of vanilla in a way, which i think might be the olive blossom? luckily the cedar makes no appearance on my skin. i think i am mostly getting black amber, black orchid, blue musk and olive blossom. however, the notes are blended so well, i can't really be sure. this sort of reminds me of love and pain from the salon, but the lavender is subtler here. i love this scent and i am so glad i bought a bottle!

this is an herbal-aquatic to my nose, with a tinge of floral and grasses. i dont think i get the smoke note. it's got a very grassy feel that never seems to cease. it stays strong on my skin and doesn't morph much at all. i like this ok, but wouldn't wear it often so i'll swap it.
-
hmm, i've made friends with vetiver recently, but i am not really liking it in this. perhaps it's the combination of it with the patchouli, but i get a sour earthiness from this and something is sending off that pencil shaving scent.
-
wow this is very sweet and floral. i get a vanilla-orange-plumeria. very lush and tropical with a warmth behind it. it's almost foody but not quite and all the notes are blended very well. this is very pretty, and isn't really my style. that being said, i could see myself wearing it occasionally.
-
this smells like a soft masculine fragrance to me. i mostly get the musk with a hint of sage. the moss isn't too strong on my skin. nice, but not really my style, so i will probably swap this.
-
i dont even know how to describe this one. i definitely get tonka and lilac musk with a crisp hint of lime. this is a clean masculine scent with a hint of almost-foodiness. once it dries the blackberry leaf comes out more and sweetens it up a bit.
-
at first i get a slightly sharp berry note, like unripe berries with a tinge of sourness, which overwhelms everything. it smells like some sort of air freshener i remember my grandmother having. once dry, however it smells much better, more like spicy amber with a hint of sweetness from the berries. i will definitely keep my imp, but probably won't need a bottle of this, as fruity scents aren't really my style. though for a fruity scent, i really like this one.
-
Snake Oil with oakmoss, sea moss, and olive leaf. wow this is beautiful. in the imp it smells quite green and leafy but on my skin it's very warm and almost vanilla-leather-like. at least to my nose it is. i definitely smell the olive leaf, which is warmed by whatever is coming out in the background. the leathery smell dies down after awhile and i get a stunning but simple vanilla-olive leaf combination with a touch of something tea-like. i am coming to find i am liking the snake pit much more than i thought i would, and i may have to get a bottle of this one.
-
in the imp this smells floral with a hint of almond. it starts out as a light floral but gradually builds to a floral with a spicy intensity. very exotic, pretty and sexy!
-
i get a pale, watery floral from this. i definitely smell the moonflower, cucumber and hyacinth the most. unfortunately, this turns very soapy on my skin and ends up smelling like watered-down white florals.
-
fairy market is a pale, sugary floral. it's sweet and the tiniest bit fruity. the incense adds a nice deepness to the scent, which makes me like it a lot. normally i might find this scent too sweet, but the sugary-incense is wonderful and i like it very much. reminds me of midnight on the midway a bit, but is sweeter. definitely keeping my imp of this one.
-
i think the lily and vanilla come out on this one. it's very delicate and understated. i love tea rose, and i wish it was a little more prominent, but i still like this scent. i will keep my imp but probably won't get a bottle.
-
in the imp i mostly smell the ylang ylang, but on my skin the tuberose and plum seem to stand out the most (mostly plum, as my skin tends to amp it). or maybe heliotrope? not sure what that smells like... i get a slight incense/muskiness beneath the sweet floral, which grounds it some. i think i'll keep my imp but won't get a bottle.
-
A warm, soft, sexual blend. Sweet and alluring. Used to entice new lovers and add an aura of temptation and carnal sin to your environment. wow, dragon's blood and lilac: 2 notes that my skin hates! still, there is something about this that intrigues me a bit...i do sense a soft spice in the background which is nice, but overall, i dont think it works for me. the dragon's blood/lilac combo reminds me of public bathroom cleaner damned skin chemistry.
-
i kind of like this when i first put it on. i get a warm myrrh-y scent with something i cant put my finger on. after it dries, however, something turns sour on my skin and i can smell the sandalwood and rose mostly. i am getting a pencil-shaving sort of scent from this, so perhaps it's the greek incense or the sandalwood. this just doesnt work with my skin chemistry, sadly.
-
this scent is very soft and pretty, and evokes the art perfectly. it's a very subtle scent with a hint of sweetness, and makes me think of pale yellow. on my skin it's creamy yellow roses with a hint of skin musk. it's very soft as some other people have noted, but it doesnt disappear at all, i think it would be perfect for those days when a subtle, pretty scent is needed.
-
oh WOW this is so much more beautiful than i ever expected. it has a sort of "classic" scent to me, yet is very original at the same time. sniffing the imp i smell mostly lavender with something else lurking beneath. i know at some point i have smelled another perfume similar to this. at first the lavender is strongest, but once the sharpness of it fades away, the tobacco and musk come out. there is also something sort of floral in here that i cant put my finger on. perhaps it's the golden copaifera. a crisp musk scent, this one has shot to the top of my favorites instantly

my sun is in aries and moon/rising in capricorn. venus is in aries and mars is in cancer. my chart is mostly firey, and the other elements are pretty balanced. i tend to like spicy florals and 'floral-orientals' the best. however, straight spicy scents don't really do much for me. i like a lot of florals especially rose, carnation and violet, but tend to dislike most of the white florals. i love coconut, amber, incense, and citrus. i don't really like most aquatics, foody scents or super-earthy scents. bpal's aries didn't work on me, but i quite like mars with the orchid it has.
-
i really wanted to love this one, it sounded right up my alley, scent-wise. however, my skin amps up the plum which can be hit or miss on me. i LIKE this scent, i just don't love it. i was hoping more for a rose-vanilla scent with a hint of plum, but instead it's a strong plum with warm florals in the background, which is pretty, just a bit too fruity for me.
-
this one smelled just like smut to me, minus one component. i definitely get red musk, but it is difficult to pick out any other notes. i really love it though, actually a bit more than smut. it's very warm and sexy. i tried a friends' imp and havent been able to actually test it out myself, but hopefully i'll be able to soon.
-
unfortunately, this one did not work on me at all. i think red wine-honey combos generally don't fare well on my skin. bpal's wine note often works on me but there are instances when it doesnt, and this is one of them. i smell something almost foody, but not in a sweet way, mixed with a sour wine. unfortunate, as he description of this one intrigued me.

this is similar to embalming fluid but with a little something added...musk perhaps? which adds a slight warmth that embalming fluid does not have. i like this one but don't love it.
