A perfume-y apple. Not as complicated or deep as some other BPAL apple scents. I can't even pick out the other notes. Will be rehoming.

I got the cassia and cinnamon on first whiff out of the imp.

This actually made the crooks of my elbows break out. I had to scrub it off within five minutes of application.

Two previous reviews can be found earlier, mentioning coconut and a tropical feel, a scent that would be at home in the Tiki Lounge. Nine years later, and this is rose. That's about it. *Maybe* a little sweetness from coconut, but nothing that I could pick up and identify before reading the reviews.

A friend gifted me with a TON of old imps, and this is one of them.
So, nine years later, we've still got a sweet cake batter smell. Maybe a touch of dry cocoa, but nothing I could have named without the previous reviews. I can also smell the Fruit Loops/dry fruit smell that was mentioned earlier. A touch of powder at this point. Nothing I'll be keeping.

Not the same dead leaf note as DL and Tobacco, DL, Vanilla, Myrrh, and Sonnet d'Automne note; it's not nearly as sharp. The whole blend is almost floral. I don't care for sandalwood by itself, but I got the tester pack for the DL scents. Husband seems to like it okay.

This is the same dl note that's in Sonnet d'Automne. It's very sharp at first, and seems almost to be a single note. I had originally set this aside for my husband; while I like the dl note, I can get it in a softer form from SdA, but the tobacco finally came out after about an hour and quieted things down nicely. I'm keeping it for now, but it still might go to him at some point, like...

Oh my yes. Same dead leaf note as Dead Leaves and Tobacco and Sonnet d'Automne, but the vanilla and myrrh are present right away. A lovely soft scent with staying power; I was still getting whiffs of it this morning from yesterday. I may have to consider getting a big bottle of this.

A sweet red musk. You can definitely smell the pom, although I'm not able to identify it as such, just sweet fruit. I never got much of the woods or incense. There was very little throw, surprising for a red musk blend. Definitely a keeper; hopefully the woods and incense will come out more as it ages and give it some depth.

In the bottle: cherry cough syrup.
Wet and dry: maybe closer to pomegranate than cherry? A touch of something else, maybe a darker wood? Incredibly faint; I can barely smell it with my nose pressed to my skin.

Citrus industrial cleanser. There might be some white musk in here, and maybe a resin/incense that's going powdery on me.

A couple of the reviews for this on LJ compared it to Antikytheria (sp?) Mechanism and I definitely get that. Vanilla, wood, tobacco, maybe some patch. A little sharp for my taste, so I gave it to my husband (I gave him AM as well) and it smells INCREDIBLE on him.

In the imp, smells like Siberian musk. I compared it to my SN, and they're very similar. Within the first minute, there's a burst of root beer fizziness (as compared to gin/champagne fizz). What came to mind next was bubblegum, but more of the texture than the exact smell. "Fluff" was closer, like Velvet Unicorn, but without the blast of pink. There was a brief moment of more of a vanilla feel, then it was a very soft Siberian musk for the next hour. Very little throw, esp. considering I use just a dot of the SN. After about an hour, the sweet non-foody depth poked its head out a little more.

Yup, that's a fougere, all right. There's some non-foody spicy-ness in the wet phase, and it's warm for a fougere, but not really distinctive. Very faint traces twelve hours later, didn't have a lot of throw.

Bubble gum and conversation hearts.

I get the butterscotch rum at the beginning, but then alas, it goes to a sweet powder on me. I really had high hopes for this one, and I'm not sure which note is the culprit. Will see if it works better on my husband.

Whoops, I never did review this. I got a decant of this years ago. It's almost Pez like at first; fruity and dusty. For some reason I'm thinking passionfruit, although I have no idea if that's accurate or not. After dry down, there's definitely roses in here somewhere. It's been so long since I tried O itself that I can't compare it to the original.

I got Zankoku Zen's imp of Luna (thank you!!) and it is truly lovely. I don't get jasmine (death note for me). It's fruity ylang-ylang and musk. I don't know if it's truly "Luna", but it's a fantastic blend.

I was so incredibly excited to see that there were MLP scents! And, I do adore We Love Fine products, so I splurged, and got Shy.

In the imp, it's carnation, not too spicy, with a little bit of sugar, and just a touch of pear. Wet, it stays about the same; sweet "pink" floral. I don't think I would know peach blossom as a single note, and the vanilla doesn't come out until dry down. Three hours later, there's still not much throw (appropriate, you *know* Fluttershy wouldn't want that) and it continues to be a soft carnation vanilla.

Note: this came on a card, without a label.

...I've never started a topic before, I hope this is correct?
Goblin Sack was available as a prototype at C2E2. It's to be released with the goblin statues. It's a wonderfully foody blend. When I asked Beth what the notes were, she said patchouli, vanilla, and hazelnuts. Because you gotta have nuts in your sack. http://www.bpal.org/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/icon_biggrin.gif

Chaotic Evil Paladin: Meh. I can definitely smell the individual fragrances, but they really don't blend well together.

 

Chaotic Evil Elf Paladin: Yes, this. The Elf adds a sweetness and berry-ness to it, and it is lovely. I've noticed with all the layerable scents that when they work, they *really* work.

Three combos today.

 

Evil Elf: Reminds me of Poison, which my mom wore back in the day. I think she would have liked this. Doesn't stick around for very long, though.

Evil Paladin: I don't care for this wet; it doesn't really seem to go together, which makes sense given the concept. Much better as it dries down, but not incredible.

Chaotic Evil Elf: Wow! This combo really amps the wild berry and/or black plum notes. I think I like this the best out of the three I tried today.

Tried Chaotic Evil this morning. Definitely an improvement over Evil on its own. Still a little more "pefumy" than I would prefer, but will definitely remember it for the future.

Oh, I think this could have been such a lovely scent. And such a fantastic name. I got the Siberian musk single note and fell in love with it. Love musks, lily, tiare, white tea is okay.....and the violets come in and stomp everything out. At the end the gorgeous musks do manage to peak out, offering a hint at what could have been. Could have been so beautiful.....yeah, it's time for bed.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I was hoping the other notes would be predominate. VERY strong pumpkin on first application. Then it morphs into something terrible. Almost like there was a baked goods/vomit note? Had my arms not been full of laundry, I would have washed it off immediately. The cherry and plum finally started coming out more, but this is so not a blend for me.

I find this very similar to Pumpkin Lattes of years past.
