    Love Me

    why YES, yes it does! I wore this one to work today, and I dont think I have ever had so many faces pressed to my body in my life!! There was kind of a riot/orgy. what a fantastic day! Hm, the scent. When I sniffed the imp I thought "yup, I'm gonna hate this one" because generally the incensey/herbaly/spicy blends are terrible on me. but the name is so cool, I just had to try it on. I used a single wand swipe very sparingly on my wrists and one on my neck. It is just spicy and sweet to me, I have no idea of the notes but I can see how some say coca-colaish. The co-workers guesses were all over the place with stuff like patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla. It stayed quite strong for about 4 hours after application, then faded nicely and 12 hours later it is still there. This has excellent staying power compared to most BPAL that fades quite fast on me. I had people at work coming up to me *all day* going "can I smell you again?" and "I just caught a whiff of you, GOD you smell good!" and "WHAT is that and WHERE can I get it?!" I went home on a motorcycle today thanks to Love Me. gotta get more....

    Glitter

    mmmmm glitter... the oil in the imp does indeed have a bubble-gummy aura to it, although its a bit sharper. Once applied, however, it morphs rather quickly from sweet and bubbly to tangy and sharp. I cannot pick out the pear at all. In fact its hard to put my finger on any of the notes! If what I'm smelling is heliotrope, I LOVE heliotrope! I can see how some would say it has a very slight soapy scent, but I find that works well to mellow out the candy-sweetness. when this dries down several hours later, the sweetness is pretty much gone leaving nothing but a clean, warm scent. definete keeper!

    Kabuki

    I love cherries, and I love licorice... so this was a natural pick for me. Unfortunately it was terrible. In the imp it was very sweet and sticky-cherries, but when I put it on the cherries disappeared immediately and all I got was thick, strong musk. I dont mind musk, but this was really unbearable. I got ONE whiff of licorice all day. the rest was just musk. I even tried to wash it off, with no luck. This has Serious Staying Power.

    Titania

    like the others have said above this is amazingly well blended. I cannot distinguish the individual notes, but together they are incredible. this is the perfect fruit and floral harmony. I cant imagine someone disliking this scent, it draws you in and makes you want to smell it again and again..

    Baobhan Sith

    I like the wet scent of this, very tangy and crisp, but on my skin it smells like Old Shanghai. just kind of a lemony tea. on the other hand, when this touches my mother it turns into pure orchid blossom - she has over 100, just a little bit obsessed... - and even I recognized the orchid scent on her. needless to say she kept this one!

    La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente

    When I sniffed the imp I was immediately drawn to this because of the fruit - the peach is strong and the pomegranate not far behind. the first 10 minutes of wear are lovely, fruity and just a bit floral. unfortunately when this dries down the rose comes up very strongly, mixed with something I cannot identify, and the fruit all but disappears. it becomes a strong, sharp floral scent on me which I dont like at all. If I keep this scent I will not apply it on my skin, it will be a room scent or locket scent. my skin just doesnt agree with it.

    The Hesperides

    I love this. in the imp it smells very chocolate-appley, but that changes when it hits my skin. the first thing I smell is bark and leaves and wet, very damp-woodsy but then then apple comes out... to put it in a nutshell I smell like an orchard in the rain. delicious.

    Pronouncing "BPAL" and scent names!

    that is hard to describe, but you did a good job! my family is Hungarian and my mom guesses Szepasszony is pronounced: zhea-pash-ohn with the emphasis on the first syllable. thats not entirely correct but I'll get her to repeat it and edit this later. I'm a bad girl and didnt learn much of my home language.

    The Unicorn

    the Unicorn is incredible, and its scents like these that put me in complete awe of Beth's talent. To me this smells like fairy dust, like the place in the woods that is secluded and secret and magical... It makes me think of little girls who believe in unicorns; it is the essence of innocence. a sniff from the imp is not enough, I have to apply it. it smells sweet and light, and slightly of melons, it is fresh and simply wonderful. dont ask me to identify the notes, I cant. it is just gorgeous. the only downside is that it fades so fast...

    Jack

    OMG JACK. this is GREAT. I love this scent. I knew I would. when I opened the imp for a preliminary sniff I literally moaned out loud. (yeah that was a first!) It was just so perfect, my nose wanted to crawl into the imp and live there. the scent in the imp is sweet, perfect, pumpkin pie. upon application, there is an initial burst of pure pumpkin, which quickly fades. the nutmeg and clove come alive (and I mean ALIVE) as they are very sharp and biting. the remaining scent on my wrist is a glorious spiced pumpkin. not pie though, as I cant find the buttery-ness some others talked about. I couldnt find the peach in this either, but I think it just generally makes the whole oil slightly sweeter. this suits me perfectly. I need more of this. now.

    Pele

    *shakes fist at sky* WHY ME?!?! I was so sure I would utterly love this... the wet oil is certainly tropical and fresh and lovely... but as soon as it hits my skin it smells terribly like Kuang Shi. anyone who read that review knows that Kuang Shi smells like my evil dead grandmother. well, so does Pele. I wanted to love this so much, and I keep sniffing the imp in rapture, but my skin hates this scent. I cant pick out any notes, just warm florals with a slightly powdery tone. I'm really sad I cant wear this scent.

    Kuang Shi

    This smells like my dead grandmother. seriously. and not in a good way either. I couldnt pick out a single note - but I recognised the scent *immediatly* and it was both shocking and unpleasant. YES. She was evil, and this scent was her scent. *shivers*

    Desdemona

    oh, wet this is so beautiful... a light, breezy floral scent... unfortunately when dry, it smells like a public bathroom freshener. Like when you are on a road trip and stop at a random gas station, the bathroom is *almost* clean but to help the illusion they added a scent - this is that scent. I really wanted this to work for me, but I cant feel good wearing something that smells of eau de bathroom. drat!

    Entropy

    this was extremely heavy patchouli on me. that is all. no rose, no civet, no poppy. smelling this on myself simply reaffirms how much I dislike patchouli. can I venture and say I hate patchouli. naturally this has excellent lasting power.

    Swank

    LOVE this!! When wet I can smell the *martini* aspect, slightly boozy but I cant pinpoint any particular scent. This smells to me much like oranges or berries - I was thinking Body Shop scents like cranberry or satsuma. yummy!! When dry it gets sweeter and yet bitter at the same time. I'm very glad I have a big bottle, I will be wearing this often.
