Lycanthrope

In the Bottle or Imp: Citrus tea. Definitely a strong black tea with a squeeze of bergamot. Wet, on Skin: Whoa! The tea is quite strong here, but the astringency plus a salty, darker note makes this smell very much like LUSH's Ocean Salt scrub... but just for a moment. Drying Down: It's heading more towards the smell of a fresh leather jacket squished between fingertips. Dry on Skin: Leather, mostly. Over Time/Longterm: Leather, but very, very faint. Severin left my skin quite rapidly. Final Verdict? If you like light leather scents, give Severin a shot. Not my style.

In the Bottle or Imp: Sharp, salty, crisp, all at once. Strong pine resin aroma. Wet, on Skin: Pine!!! And then the sharp crack of ozone followed by salty, fierce aquatic notes. Drying Down: The pine recedes and the aquatic notes come to the foreground, sweetening the blend and offsetting the snap of lightning ozone. Dry on Skin: Definitely has sweetened a lot, and the original ozone has faded. It's just pouring now, and there are occasional bursts of ozone that remind me that this is no regular rainshower. Over Time/Longterm: Adopts a beautiful freshwater shoreline aroma, just like Kingsport but in Thunderbird set against a backdrop of pine. Final Verdict? Not bad. I missed the Oblation series by just a bit, and I regret not having a chance to order this, but I will treasure the imp I did receive and will save it for those days when I need a little lightning storm.

Coyote to me is beige. The mood is relaxed, and the element is earth. In the Bottle or Imp: Slightly Cedary, sandy dry grassiness. Wet, on Skin: Definitely a burst of amber and very light cedar, followed by a gradual sweetening of the grasses. Definitely getting a gentle 'sweetgrass braid' scent here. Drying Down: Obtaining a hint of that sweet and tasty 'skin scent' that I get with La Petite Mort, but instead of a floral and resin backdrop, I'm getting creamy woods, and a hint of dry herbs to go along with it. Dry on Skin: Same as it's drying down, except maybe a hint more sweetgrass and musk. Over Time/Longterm: A light, Southwestern blend that goes from being somewhat sharp to settling into a calm, unobtrusive and slightly woodsy musk. Final Verdict? Glad I ordered a 5 mL!

This is the oddest fragrance I've had the opportunity to wear. And that's not an insult, by no means! Envy is light green to me. The mood is cold and cunning. Element is a blend of earth and air. In the Bottle or Imp: LAVENDER. Lavender, with a hint of citrus. But, mostly a very true Lavandula angustifolia. Wet, on Skin: Lavender, very potent. Can smell peppermint here. Drying Down: The mint is blended well with a light, tart citrus and garden herbs, like basil and parsley... I can still detect the lavender, which is lightly powdery at this point, a backdrop to the leafy and lime green. Over Time/Longterm: Very interesting... lime, mint and basil. But still carrying that balsamic kick from the lavender. Final Verdict? Intriguing! Feels very 'cold.' Not a bottle for me, but I'll savor the imp.

Rome to me is the color gold. It is the image of a piazza where a fountain is sprinkling water over a vendor selling herbs and dried flowers, the sun is shining down and there are rosebushes planted in pots along the way. In the Bottle or Imp: Sweet, lightly floral but mostly chamomile, a sunny gold colored blend with herbs and dry cypress woods. If only it would stay this way, I would snorf my wrist in bliss for hours. Wet, on Skin: Lots of cypress as it's wet on me, with a touch of something sweeter, which I feel is the chamomile, but unless my nose is reaching for associations, I can catch a whiff of something sweeter and edible, a honey note perhaps. Staaaay, Rome... stay here. Drying Down: Uh oh. It begins. The cypress note is fading out, as pine, fir, and similar evergreen oils are wont to do, and I'm catching a lightly herbal floral blend with a hint of rose. Over Time/Longterm: Rose and chamomile, but... as time progresses, it goes completely rose on me. Which is sad, because I loved the start, but it became at least on me a fairly potent fragrance overly dominated by rose. Final Verdict? I like the start, but it changes into rose, rose, rose. Not my cuppa at all.

I think my skin eats frankincense, or amps cedar. Wearing Cathedral brought me to this conclusion, and I think that it's the latter, thank goodness, because I love the smell of frankincense. In the Bottle or Imp: Cedar. Uhm, yeah, that's mostly what I get. Wet, on Skin: Cedar... still. And it's very strong. I think there may be a hint of deeper resins, but they are so closely blended that I can hardly pick them apart from the cedar. Drying Down: Warm cedar, but cedar nonetheless. Over Time/Longterm: I can only pick out the myrhh because of its characteristic sweet resin bitterness, but then the only other note I get is Cedar... perhaps a gasp of frankincense, but it's like the incense in the church hasn't been burned for a day or two, because it's the memory of frankincense to me. Final Verdict? It's very well blended, and is an evocative scent, but the cedar on my skin probably threw off the intent of the oil blend. Oh well, I'll give it another shot, but it may be my CedarCurse. Gonna give Penitence a try for my frankincense and myrrh fix...

In the Bottle or Imp: Sweet resins, but mostly a very, very sweet floral that I can't quite put my finger on. It's not jasmine, or tuberose, but it has a very similar sweet potency. Wet, on Skin: Whoooaaa... this is going to be a doozy on me, I can tell. Very sweet, and that floral note? Amped up like crazy. Is this lily? It's sweet and waxy, but it lacks that soapy quality that lily brings to my mind. Drying Down: Ok... here I the resins are warming up and trying to tie down the florals, which are a-bustin' all over the place, trying to knock me out. There's also this very sweet musky aroma that I can't identify. Over Time/Longterm: Dark resins. Definitely myrrh on me. I think the florals have calmed down, into a singular, resonant note of ubersweet floral. Final Verdict? Not for me. Beautiful, but again, these florals seem to dislike me. (On reading the components of Darkness, I've found that the culprit is probably narcissus. Lily, narcissus, and lotus on me go too strong and sweet. Sigh.)

Beth's blending genius never ceases to amaze. Her men's blends are like... miles above any other men's colognes I've tried, and so rich and nuanced. Dracul makes me think of a roiling mix of earth and fire. The mood is definitely predatory, and the color that pops into mind is a rich, deep and sultry royal purple. In the Bottle or Imp: Fir and pine, definitely a sharp woods aroma comes chugging out of the imp, and I can smell that musky sweet tobacco leaf right off the bat. Those topnotes are most of what I can catch, because they are strong. Wet, on Skin: Here, there's a definite mintiness or freshness coming out to play after Dracul strikes my skin. The pine and fir of course, on me, briefly overpower everything but then step back to allow a deep, unobtrusive muskiness and warming sandalwood to come through. A very warm fragrance. Drying Down: Drying down, the minty aspect retreats and it's mostly a sweet musky amber with fir needles at this point. I get a sweet spiciness, which I believe is clove, and a what pops to mind is something akin to Lush's Skinny Dip (although by no means does Dracul smell like that, it's just the clove aspect)! Over Time/Longterm: Ah, here I get a very sweet herbal vanilla, touched off with the twist of clove, but the primary notes of fir and musk are most definitely present. This has finally settled and on my skin is maturing into this very attractive, masculine, growling scent. Final Verdict? It's good. Very good. I'm not a predatory guy, as I tend towards aquatics and the more scientific, metallic and sharp, ocean scents, but this imp is for those moments when I want to feel like I'm on the prowl.

In the Bottle or Imp: Um, wow, quite potent. I can smell a very, very sweet floral and a strong, rich vanilla straight out of the imp. There's also a slightly antiseptic aroma to it, which I'm associating with that... er, antiseptic wash my mom used to use on small cuts and such. Came in a white squeezy bottle. Anyway. Wet, on Skin: POOOOM! Whoa! My skin amps up that antiseptic smell like ten thousand times. It's not that Hunger smells like that spray, but something about the main floral note, the narcissus perhaps, cannot be separated from my memory of using that stuff. Otherwise, I can see how this would be a great blend. Achingly sweet at this point. Drying Down: Doesn't change much - I can detect the vanilla more and more as it dries. The topnote is still not working with me. Perhaps it's the combination of orange blossom and narcissus that's giving me issues. Over Time/Longterm: Very light, unfortunately that first disquieting note I associated with Hunger is the most persistent. Overnight, my little dot of oil vanished. Final Verdict? I can't wear this, just because of my associations with it. It's not bad, but even if I didn't think of taking care of minor scrapes as a child when I wear Hunger, it's far too sweet for me to wear. I'm not a strong, sweet floral kinda guy .

In the Bottle or Imp: It's chaotic, boiling, unsure of what to be, green herbs, cypress, fruit, and sweetness all bursting out of the imp. It smells dry and somewhat... alcoholic, if that makes sense. Wet, on Skin: Pine, cypress, green resinous woods! That plus a similar cacophony of fruit and light floral notes. I think I smell a touch of leafy herbs, like basil or parsley, but not in a foody sense. A sharp kick. Drying Down: Ah, now I smell the fruit. It's definitely an earthy, juicy fruit, definitely some figs but also perhaps a hint of pumpkin or other fleshy, full-bodied fruit. This is all resting on a dry, herbal woodsy base. The cypress and pine, like usual on me, has lightened severely. Over Time/Longterm: Dries down like Hunter Moon on me, a very surprising unsweetened apple has joined the fig! This layered on the dry herbs brings much to mind that Lunacy blend. In the end, this is a slightly spicy, peppery and herbal fig and apple blend on me. Not what I was expecting at all! Final Verdict? Unique, and definitely a surprise at the end. This is more of an autumn scent for me, then, but not bad, and definitely wearable on me as it is not overtly floral or too sweet. Keeping the imp... don't know if this is a bottle for me.

My first order, 5.28, I did this, and cancelled via CCNow before the 'harvesting' (when CCNow says 'Order Shipped'), then placed the same order via Paypal.com. I was fretting that I had duplicate orders, but in a separate inquiry to the lab, they confirmed I didn't have double orders. So I think if you cancel the CCNow order (via CCNow!) prior to the lab receiving the order itself, you shouldn't have any issues. But, I'd still e-mail the lab to make sure that's correct... CCNow refunded my balance without much issue. Of course, that went straight back to the Lab ...and no moronity there! I didn't see the disclaimer note until well after I'd put my order through CCNow, so... no worries. I should have read more closely, but now I know.

In the Bottle or Imp: Smells slightly spicy, with a hint of the same sweet florals that are present in the other moon blends I've tried. Unfortunately, what whomps my nose is kind of a cheese pizza type of scent that thankfully vanishes and is a crushed leaf type of scent. A touch of rot and decay but a brittle herbal. I think that 'pizza scent' I'm getting is a strong whiff of fennel. Wet, on Skin: Fennel at first, but it recedes into a dry, warm plant aroma. Definitely get some sort of crisp, tart fruit... I think apple, but it's not like a strong green or red, it's more like pulverized apple. I think there may be a touch of cypress in here. Drying Down: The fennel and woods merge into a backdrop for a tart, unsweetened cinnamon apple beverage. It feels warm and smoky, without much sugar. I can imagine myself out in the forest with mug of bitter spiced cider as September's winds rustle through the dry leaves. Wow. Over Time/Longterm: Remains a spicy, tart and subdued apple. Dirt and twig scents rumble underneath. Final Verdict? This is such a seasonal scent, and I think Fall at night when I wear it. Keeping the imp for special nights come next autumn.

I... er... does this blend make me protected from myself? In the Bottle or Imp: Pine! Lots of sharp and resiny woods here. This is a Northern forest, more of a taiga feel to it as opposed to southern Loblolly or coastal pine forest. I don't get much more than pine, but there's some deeper woodsiness to the fragrance beyond pure fir needle. Wet, on Skin: Yup, pine. Probably mixed with cypress and other evergreens, considering that this is not a one dimensional pine at all... but it's so well blended that it really does smell like a forest to me. There's definitely a cedarwood bite to it that verges on hamster for a while, but it thankfully recedes as the oil dries. Drying Down: The blend sweetens and I can detect more powdery woods coming to the forefront. The pine and bright cypress has pulled back such that it's not the primary notes I encounter, and the cedar also steps back. The resulting scent now is a mix of woods, perhaps some moss, and a touch of dirt. There's a tiny bit of play-doh feel to the scent that I hope goes away as the blend settles on my skin for the long run. Over Time/Longterm: The blend definitely sweetens on my skin and becomes a sort of pine-sandalwood combination with just a hint of cedar to provide some lasting *chomp* to the scent. This is the part I like best... just like a miniature forest on my wrist. Final Verdict? Very nice, very foresty and woodsy. Nothing to make me sit up and go, wow! But, not unpleasant either save the little playdoh phase that Wolfsbane goes through as it's drying down on my skin. No rose detected here... just a whopping amount of oakmoss.

In the Bottle or Imp: Pine. Definitely pine. And an airy, nondescript whiff of grasses and ozone. Perhaps a touch of citrus. Wet, on Skin: Pine!!! Pine, and orange. Definitely pine and orange. It's ok so far, but neither of those notes are big winners with me, so I'm hoping it'll shift... Drying Down: I can detect peeks of herbs trying to bust through the orange pine aroma, but no go... The orange and pine has a stranglehold on everything it seems. Not too content. Hurry up and dissipate, orange! Over Time/Longterm: The orange has faded into... lemon?! It seems to be a citrus fruit shapeshifter. The pine is much reduced and there's a faint dried herb, rosemary and sage type thing going on. It fades back and forth between a pleasant citrus herb and the very tip of 'pine,' which to me smells none-too-pleasant. Final Verdict? Uh. Well, I won't be getting any of this if it is released. Pleasant enough but this is too straightforwards for my tastes. And now I know that pine and me, we don't get along.

Very happy that I got to try this. In the Bottle or Imp: Cherrywood, a deep, fruity wood scent. A blend of other slightly astringent notes, some citrus, some tea-like. Roiling blend of scents. Wet, on Skin: Definitely a pungent vetiver, deep and dark woodsiness. The darkness is giving way for a sweeter, murky amber fragrance. Drying Down: Deep, dark amber with spicy notes behind it 'pushing' it forwards. This scent has presence. Peppery, this is amber with fang and bite. Can detect a faint dark floral above all of the rolling resins. Over Time/Longterm: Deepens to a myrrh, still possessing some of that vetiver depth and the violet and cardamom pod powdery spiciness is becoming more and more apparent. The myrrh actually elevates a bit near the end, moving past being purely sticky resin and just imparting a unique warmth. Absolutely wonderful. Can't stop snorfing my wrist. Final Verdict? It's really a shame this is discontinued, because this would have been a 10 mL for me for sure. Any similar blends, guys and gals? With this wearing of Lex Talionis, I can say with confidence: vetiver likes me.

Mood: Fresh, Decisive Element: Air, to me, although the notes are green. In the Bottle or Imp: Strong, light green herbal aroma. Not quite the same notes, because it's much sweeter, but similar kinds of herbs as fresh rosemary, peppermint or parsely. Bright herbs that snap. Wet, on Skin: It's sweetening on me quick quick, and the green is amping up somewhere I don't want it to go. The florals, whatever they are, seem to also be amping up to a scream. I think... light florals may include my bane, lily. Lily and I... we're like the Hatfields and McCoys of fragrance... we just keep fightin'. Drying Down: Sigh. Smells very sharp on me, and I don't like the effect. Plus, the lily is hanging around like an unwanted houseguest. Go away, lily! I think underneath this all I can detect a very beautiful LILY and LILY subtle blend LILY of herbs and LILY light mountain florals. And LILY. Over Time/Longterm: That generic soapiness I get from lily blends. Final Verdict? Sorry Leanan! Off ya go to someone whose chemistry works with ya.

Arr! I'm evil! I'm a villain! Arrrr!... wait... that's pirate. Uh. Review, right. Mood: Uncaring Element: Air, but troubled. In the Bottle or Imp: Lavender! Definitely strong lavender. I also get a twist of lemon or grapefruit, actually. It's like a sweeter citrus aroma. Wet, on Skin: Oh. That was the musk playing with the lime to make it sweeter than I thought. Wow, lavender. Lavender's pretty prominent in men's blends, but usually it's so overblended and strangled with musk that it smells so different! This is unique. It's like the lavender is all innocent, but there's a sweet and sharp undercurrent. Drying Down: Uh oh. Powder. Where's that coming from? I now have a baby powder, lavender and citrussy cologne emanating from my wrist. Over Time/Longterm: The powder has settled, and it's mostly a subtle lavender with a kick. Final Verdict? Nice, but I don't see myself ordering more.

Ok, if you haven't figured out from my wish list or from my handle, I've always had a connection with wolves. So, naturally I've gravitated towards the more lupine blends BPAL offers. So, after searching around a bit, I found some Wolf Moon to dab on my paws and offer my review. In the Bottle or Imp: Very green, foresty, but in that pine forest way. I can catch whiffs of birch and a rich loamy kick underneath it all, more menacing than present. A slight brush of sweetness, too, and this blend feels cool, not minty, but cool. Wet, on Skin: The pine and herbal greens rise up really fast and disperse into the air around me very quickly. I'm in a northern forest, and there's suddenly an aquatic tone to the fragrance, much like as others have described here melt from fallen snow. The dirt, loam aspect that I smelled before actually retreats here, so not too much earth in my opinion. Heads towards a sweeter, woodsy scent. Drying Down: Definitely has a similar aquatic, wet note as Kingsport, but it's not as salty. Definitely a freshwater body, like a lake, or lakeshore. But, this is a lakeshore at night, cool mists floating over the water and the scent of pine and sweet woods wafting around. Over Time/Longterm: Settles into a slightly pine-y, sweet wood fragrance. Akin to sandalwood, but not warm at all. The aquatic lake/beach fragrance lingers, ozone and water, sweet musk. Very subtle at this point but still evocative. Final Verdict? Love this! I was concerned when I got Kingsport that that would be the only nice aquatic/beachy fragrance I would find, but Wolf Moon makes me happy. Hoo-hah~!

My first official 'LE' bottle purchase... In the Bottle or Imp: Roiling, tempestuous sea notes with the feeling and taste of salty air bursting in whitecaps. Wet, on Skin: Like Sea of Glass without the bright citrus notes - a definite aquatic floral, but still plenty of salt spray with a hint of damp sand. This feels foggy to me, like an ocean for certain but one on an overcast day with heavy clouds looming about. Drying Down: Goes a bit more floral on me... post-storm beaches. Over Time/Longterm: A kiss of salt-spray on my wrist, and very, very seashore to me at least. Final Verdict? Reminds me of walking up and down the beaches of North Carolina, Outer Banks, the smell of the ocean water mixing with dry dune plants and that aroma only vaporized salt can give to the air. I'm loving this. Master craftsmanship here. Too bad all I have is this one bottle!

In the Bottle or Imp: Smells very tropical, spicy and warm. A melange of fruits, with the creamier banana and pineapple notes, sweet yellows, rising to the top. Wet, on Skin: Has a definite pink pepper kick to it, but that gives way real quick for bananas and just... a feeling of FRUIT. Yes, in caps - a nondescript mix of fruits with a whole bunch of notes vying for top billing. Drying Down: Has turned oddly sweet and a touch floral on me. The fruits are mostly sweet and grapey now. Over Time/Longterm: Fades way too quick. Leaves little to no trace of its passing. Final Verdict? Reminds me a lot of sweetcakes.com's Midnight in Tunisia FO, definitely a jasmine and wine grape based fragrance, to a T during a phase of its drydown. The fragrance isn't me, so it's going to end up in swaps or as gift imps to local friends...

I like to classify two visceral reactions to a fragrance - mood and element. Because Sea of Glass is just so... well balanced, it brought to mind one mood - placid, but I keep shifting between Water and Air, because on one hand it's extremely aquatic, with a strong streak of wet florals and seaweed and dune grass... but also the imagery of pure crystals of shining light suspended in midair. In the Bottle or Imp: Instantly smell a day by the ocean, the mix of bright citrus and sandy notes, the aroma of sea plants and crisp water. Also get a light whiff of sweet florals, but not too strong. Wet, on Skin: Citrus shifts immediately to grapefruit on my skin, which I dislike greatly. But, thankfully it starts to fade quickly. On me, I smell much more of the ocean water, with the salty breeze carrying over the water and seaweed draped on wave-pounded rocks. The sweet florals are thrumming in the background, getting more prominent... Drying Down: It's crystal now - crystal over a gently rolling sea. The fragrance, while shifting back and forth before, now solidifies into a single, unmoving scent, exactly shining, pure quartz and shimmering sea. Over Time/Longterm: The ocean scent pulls back and it's mostly just sweet white and yellow florals with a pleasant wet aquatic plant backdrop. Final Verdict? This is great - perfectly blended to reflect the concept. I have an imp of this, and another one on the way... this may be a 5 mL if I can spare it.

Does anyone remember Bath and Body Works' Refreshing Garden Mint? I swear, this is exactly what Rosalind starts off smelling like to me. In the Bottle or Imp: Yes, green. But it's a minty, herbal green, so to me a faintly aquamarine color. I can't shake the association with BBW's long-discontinued Refreshing Garden Mint, which was a staple for me as a high schooler, so this brings to mind instantly being young (and naive). When I describe the mint in this blend I don't mean a real mint like peppermint or spearmint, but the BBW version. It wasn't a true mint but more of a feeling of mint and coolness. Wet, on Skin: Definitely still the fresh, false mint, basil and fresh green herbs and grasses, perhaps a touch of floral sweetness or sweetgrass. Detecting a very faint fruit base, not a bright or bubbly fruit like strawberry or cherry but a wild, hidden fruit nestled in a glade. Drying Down: After it settles, the initial minty herbal start fades and I'm left with a slightly odd wild berry fragrance that keeps increasing its depth over time. Started off with just a hint of berry, and it's as if more and more berry notes are coming to the top of the mix. Now it kind of smells like a green berry blend, like a Body Shop Dewberry. Over Time/Longterm: Definitely sticks to a very lightly grassy berry scent. Final Verdict? I was expecting a meadow, and instead I ran from the base of a sparkling, refreshing stream, up a grassy hill, tumbled and spilled a handful of flowers and retreated into a cool, shadowy nook where all sorts of wild berries are growing. Evocative, and this is the first BPAL that's gone through so many 'places' on me. And Rosalind also gave me scent nostalgia from TWO of my old bath product companies. Amazing.

In the Bottle or Imp: Strong, deep florals, definitely not holding back here. Tends towards more asiatic flowers, such as orchids and the slightly tangy, tart osmanthus (which makes an intriguing tea as well!). Slightly citrusy, but mostly just flowers. Wet, on Skin: Still with the potent florals, more orchids and jasmine, I suppose... it's amping up on my skin quite quickly, definitely a swirl of flower essences, all wrapped up by a snap of dry sandalwood. Drying Down: As tends to be the case when there's a wood note in a blend, as it dries down it rises up from the blend. Now I mostly smell osmanthus and sandalwood, which makes for a very interesting dry, sweet and woodsy aroma. Over Time/Longterm: My gosh, this is sweet! After about an hour or so, all of the sandalwood retreats under the onslaught of flower power. My nose must be playing tricks on me, because this is so sweet, I keep thinking 'caramel!' But there's no caramel in this... It fluctuates between citrus floral and that sensation you get when you have melted toffee caramels in your mouth. Weird. Final Verdict? Too sweet for me! Goodbye, Queen.

In the Bottle or Imp: Faint cedar note with a bunch of light, delicate floral fragrances mingling about. Smells a bit astringent, must be the tea. Detect no sharp citruses. Wet, on Skin: Soft, delicate white musks and two light lavender flowers. Definitely a mix of lilac and wisteria, but the two florals are vying for centerstage. A touch of cedarwood is apparent here. Drying Down: The cedar that arrives at this point is slightly like a fresh-sharpened pencil, but is held back by the musks and florals, which are headed in the lilac direction. Getting more and more potent - I'm afraid this may be like my skin's lily amping effect. A base of green tea sweet tartness grounds the fragrance. Over Time/Longterm: About twenty minutes afterwards, cedar is all I notice, but gradually it becomes a true but very potent lilac green tea blend. If I sniff really closely, I can still tell that there's a hint of cedarwood. Not much wisteria... Final Verdict? Was looking forwards to a nice wisteria fragrance, but the lilac strangles it out, and in the end it becomes a chameleonic lilac/cedar blend. Unique, and worth a shot, especially if you like lilacs! ETA. Beth is a blending genius. Went off to distract myself after my reviews, and then caught a whiff of Cordelia from my wrist. The wisteria is there, all of a sudden, and bang! I'm back at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens under the gazebo, in June, watching the wisteria dangle down and smelling that mix of vine woods and blossoms dance in the air. Wow. Crazy.

In the Bottle or Imp: Extremely sharp and cloyingly sweet banana, coconut and pineapple mix with a powerful plumeria topnote. Wet, on Skin: Mostly smells like a pina colada! Pineapple and coconut is here, the creaminess of the coconut is growing as it's just applied, lightly floral, but less so. Maybe a touch of waxy green leaf. Drying Down: Pineapple's retreating into the background, and the coconut emerges creamier, with mashed bananas. Like a sweet exotic dessert laced with tropical blossoms. Over Time/Longterm: Creamy coconut, vanilla, a hint of banana. A tasty dessert. Final Verdict? Interesting experience. A bit too fruity for me, but a great light summer scent. Perhaps I'll keep the imp.
