SophieCedar

Patchouli, cedar, dragon's blood, and a hint of orange blossom or neroli or something? It gets sweeter and a bit more orangey as it dries down.

I got 2 bottles: 146: rich rich vanilla with something gummy making the mixture thick and tacky..benzoin and myrrh? It's like an amplified Snake Oil. I really like it! I need to apply it in small amounts though. I applied a moderate test amount to my wrist and it was overwhelmingly strong. ETA: I noticed last night, as lamp light was shining through the bottle that there was something dark in the bottom half. Guess I forgot to shake it up! The dark stuff is cocoa! Vanilla, cocoa, benzoin, and myrrh. ETA (again..) This is actually a sweeter version of Boomslang with more throw. There's maybe a red or black musk? Can't tell which one but it LASTS FOREVER.. 137: vanilla strawberry (maybe guava?) coconut incense. Like exactly what you smell wafting from head shops and street vendor incense tables! ETA: the incense note has tempered. This smells like strawberry cheesecake! I'm addicted to it.

I'm having a difficult time pulling a complete nose full off this. Hmm. Very light.. From what I have read orris is known to smell like raspberries or violets, I can sense that. There's a very light touch of dragon's blood. Dragon's Milk light. The coconut is more of an additive than a fixture in the scent. I like it, just not enough throw.

Not remembering the exact mix when I applied it and looking afterward, I was pleasantly surprised that it came across EXACTLY as the lab's order of ingredients. Very easily definable to my snooter. Creamy, crisp, smooth as silk, and SOOO soothing. Perfect for hot summer days! (not that we get many here in maine.. )

Maybe the labbie picked this as a frimp because of my Ether/Fae/Obatala picks? Not sure.. but great choice! Airy, light, crisp, translucent dirt. This is a "summer dirt" scent if I've ever smelled one! Awesome! OK, editing to add that the previous poster had the same experience as me! It smells like a white floral now mixed with cream and loam!

Strange.. when I first applied this and moved my nose away, I got a quick whiff of anise? anyways.. In imp and wet: sweet, milky, peaches, slight bergamont just keeping it crisp. I take it the white musk is the creamer in the mix. Drydown: I can smell a touch of earthy oakmoss, but it's not notable unless you're really familiar with the pure essence. Still peachy, slightly less creamy however the bergamont still smells creamsicle-ish. This is the winner in my light scents category! Great for all occasions and moods. I'm so glad the lab gave me an extra imp of it!

Wow. This is amazing. I just wish it had more staying power! In imp and wet: the nicotiana and cistus (rock rose) poufs strongly at first, giving this a sharp green/white medicinal tobacco, rose, & honey smell. Drydown smooths and rounds so nicely though! It becomes sweet, lightly floral like a mead, and creamy (not powdery, thankfully!!)

In imp and wet there's an evergreen waft surrounding the dominant smell of honeycomb. Slightly waxy and glossy red smelling.. Drydown, the waxiness subsides a bit and it develops into a creamy spicy honey. Color impression is iridescent sheer red instead of glossy thick red now..

I didn't see this located anywhere else... Strong cinnamon and wood. Slight red sweetness underneath too. It's reminding me of something candy like and edible that's not redhots.. I can't remember! argh! ok so maybe it is redhots..hmm. Well the skin sensitivity didn't happen maybe because it's aged. Very much like All Night Long.

Maybe because this is aged.. smells mostly if cardamom first wet. There's a little sweet caramel & cherry. Drydown offers a bit more sweetness as the straight up spice burns off a bit. Bit of a perfumey booze smell like kill devil in the background. mmm

Hmm. In imp and wet: the note that amps on me is vanilla flower/orchid. There's a slight honey musk burst too. Drydown: mostly vanilla flower and a touch of copal? maybe the decant I received was slightly separated..? This isn't as sweet and musky as others have expressed. I like it..just surprised.

First impression: gleaming white tea In imp and first wet: the notes of this are very distinct, sharp, white, iridescent, and translucent. So, great job on matching the image BPAL! The gardenia and tea are the strongest here with a waft of vanilla and metal around the back. Strange! It's giving me a brain squeeze because my senses reject anything white or green tea.. but I'm enjoying the jolt. Drydown: pretty much the same but slightly softer. I actually like it.. reminds me of all the white tea and green tea lotions I tried during that market craze in the late 90's/early 2000's.

Mmm. Smells like Potion lotion from Lush. And a bit like Cosmic Dreamcatcher because of the cedar. This is a wonderful red velvety dry blend. The pomegranate is slight enough that I don't wince, cringe or balk! Miraculous!

Smut might as well be magic. seriously.. every review is different! On me: Ever smell Womb Furie? That's exactly how this smells on me. Honeyed musk and spices. Mmmm.

OMG. Never use this but..*humps arm* Seriously, this is pure unghhh. The honey, caramel, and vanilla amp at first, but the nutmeg and musk comes out later in drydown. There's a sweet boozy touch to it as well. Not frangelico strong.. more like aperitif drizzled cake. I attribute this to the ylang ylang and patchouli.. I can tell the champaca is the piece that ties this all together to make it an enigmatic haze of ecstatic sweet joy for me. 10 out of 10. T(this is rare for me, so says a lot...)

In imp and first wet: has a sweet cologne or eau de toilette smell. the aquatic note is clear and fresh. Florals are wild and light green to yellow but hard to pick out mixed with the aquatic note. I can see the first posters's associaton to daffodil or dandelion. Drydown: sweetens & softens. Now a clean sweet floral. These flowers are not coming across as white. If they are, it's of the flowering bush kind... Airy notes are kept. If there's a dash of ozone added, it's slight. Overall: refreshing, inviting, crisp without bite, and soothing.

Interesting. There's a rose-like dimension to this in imp and wet. Light, opalescent pale pink & green color impression. I get lily, mandarin, and laurel wet and lots of pepper and lily on drydown. Slight wood, but very faint. Interesting but not really me.

I'm very thankful that a friend sent me a testable sniffie of this. Pure sweet dirt. The lab's loam note loves my skin. This turns sweeter and sweeter the longer it's on! Mmmmm...I'm in trouble because now I want to find more...

Strange.. maybe because the version I got was aged..? It smells of roses and lotus with slight myrrh. The red wine is not really all that strong. ETA: received a full imp and it's exactly in the order the lab described! I really like it!

Elegant and soothing! I didn't expect to like this as much as I do. In imp and first wet, the peach is strongest, vanilla 2nd, and sandalwood 3rd. Drydown: osmanthus comes out with vanilla, sandalwood fades to the back. I can still smell wafts of peach. Great combination!

This is LOVELY. The first day, I tried too many other scents on with, so all I could smell was the caramel. I tried again today and got a full impression. Wet: the apple blossom and caramel burst forth and swirl with cream. It settles after a moment to a floral caramel amber. Drydown: someone mentioned cheap candles but I think it smells like nice cathedral pillars warming a bowl of fragrant caramel surrounded by teak wood artifacts and fresh apple blossoms. Smells wonderful in warm weather as well as cool! Yessssss!

Whew.. snake oil I can wear on a daily basis! Regular SO is a bit much for me on most days because I amp it to high hell. This is wonderful... honey works wonders on me. Sweet, slightly floral in that nectar-ish way, light spice, and the vanilla isn't forming a mushroom cloud around me! Yay!

I don't smell sprite, but I do smell mountain dew! I had no idea I could pick out caffeine as a note, but yes, it's possible on this one. Ready for a raid.

Wistful to say the least! I normally flee at the first indication of rose.. but this is great! (I can handle Zombi too but that's it) In imp and first wet: Since my senses amp rose, it's sticking pretty strongly. I can tell there's wisteria & lilac underneath but not much else is popping out yet. Drydown: softer rose with a touch of lilac and lavender and I can tell the amber is warming and sweetening what would be a screeching combination on my skin otherwise. Very pretty and potential for a beautiful signature scent for some out there...

Uh ohh.. I found a rare one I like enough to search for a bottle.. great. My sweetheart, a retired gothabilly, couldn't stop himself from opening it to find out what he was suppose to exude all those years. hahahha.. Well actually, he needed my help opening the imp (he was being a bit gingerly for fear of spraying the room) He LOVES it... The cherries in imp and first wet are almost too syrupy and strong but this quickly grows on me then tempers. Drydown, the egyptian musk comes out and I realize that whatever black vanilla is, that's the vanilla for me.
