I got a sample of this with my last order...and I'm really glad I did, because I probably wouldn't have tried it based only on the description! It's a lot prettier than I expected...dry, spicy, and kinda flowery (I am terrible at describing scents) It's a bit what I expected Exotic Bazaar to smell like, but less sweet, and reminds me of Morocco. Definitely one of my favorite atmos! This is a great non-foody spicy scent.

This came as a frimp in the order I got today! I never really thought about ordering it, so it's nice to try something I wouldn't usually go for. I decided to try it first because the notes sounded interesting. Wet: Cypress...smells like Christmas trees! This fades pretty quickly. Dry: Really light and kind of sweet. I think it's the oakmoss, because it smells like one of the ingredients in Fae (but way less fruity and sugary). I like it, but I probably won't wear it too often. Not really me...

I'm so glad I got this as a frimp, because I probably wouldn't have ordered it for myself! I haven't tried too many fruity BPAL blends, because I got Fae on my first order and it smelled way too sweet on me. Like one of those fake sugary fruit drinks. (But it was really nice when I put a few drops in my bath!) Anyways, I just got kind of scared off of fruit scents. But this one is awesome and I'm gonna start trying fruity things again! Wet: Reminds me of a forest. Kind of earthy and damp, with something sharp (what I imagine vetiver might smell like, but I have no idea) and a bit of fruit in the background. A bit masculine, maybe, but in a good way. Dry: Fig! But a "dark" fig. And a little bit herbal. It seems pretty light (but my nose is terrible at picking up scents, which leads to the occasional accidental slathering) and stays close to my skin, which I like. Fruity without being sweet. A lot more feminine than when it was wet. Sexy, but subtle; not like the super-spicy scents that I usually go for. Lifespan: I put this on about 6 hours ago, and I can still smell it if I sniff my wrists. I was worried it wouldn't last long because it's so light on me, but it actually lasts longer than most of the stronger scents I've tried. And I've been moving around a lot today (moving in to my new apartment!) so it's probably been rubbing off onto everything. So...I am in love with this right now. Gonna hold on to the imp for a few months before I order a big bottle (in case it changes with age), but I can see this being an everyday scent for me. And I get to tell people I'm wearing a perfume called Gomorrah. Obsessed~

This is my first review so I don't really know what to say...so sorry if it's a bit short! The first few times I tried this, it was ALL patchouli, the entire time. And it was a bit overpowering. I was hoping for it to be more orange blossom and ginger, with just a hint of patchouli, so I didn't touch it for about a month. I put some on a headband that I keep on the bottom of my imp box, and it's held the smell really well so it at least has good lasting power! I just tried it again about an hour ago, and it's definitely aged well! Dry, it's still pretty much all patchouli. After 30 minutes, it's kind of creamy and reminds me of Snake Oil. I'm not great at picking out notes but I think the orange blossom is coming out. I haven't smelled anything very gingery yet. So, my conclusion is that it gets better with age! I'm going to save it for another month or so and try it again, to see if it's changed. I would give it a 3.5/5 for now. I'm beginning to think that my skin really amps up patchouli, which I don't mind in small amounts, but as a single note it's just too much.

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for it

Hi!! This is my first post!! I'm looking for something that smells similar Tocca's Brigitte: Notes: Ginger, Rhubarb, Papaya, Moroccan Rose, Iris, Saffron, Sandalwood, Musk, Pannetone Accord. It starts out spicy/fruity, which is really nice! But then it turns kind of weird on me after a few hours so I don't wear it very much. Also, I want to get my mom an imp of something close to VIctor & Rolf's Flowerbomb (Notes: Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia, Patchouli)
