I had to edit this, because I jumped too fast on the review. In the bottle, it wasn't anything special... even after a couple of minutes on, eh. But THEN.... about five minutes into wearing it, it bloomed. WOW! The listed notes were all there, but they swirled around, teasing my nose. It got richer and more complex with every passing minute, until I was walking around with my arm next to my face, because I couldn't get enough of it. Whew. Anyone got a cigarette?

I love lotus, and I hoped it would overpower the other florals. Nope. This is a pure, sweet floral, and I don't do those. Swap.
-
This really *does* smell like dirt. And I'm not a fan of smelling that way. Pass.
-
One word: Yum. I have discovered that I'm a patchouli fan, and here it is, along with a load of wonderful notes. It's sexy, and delicious, and sweet (ooh, honey!), and something I never would have tried, if eviltemptressdq hadn't brought it along and sold me the bottle! Yay!
-
Loving Smut the way I do, I thought for sure I'd love this. I didn't, however. It was too strong and aggressive for me; I felt overwhelmed by it, and even after a half hour, it was too much. I know there are other who will enjoy my bottle.

I wasn't sure if I'd like a pumpkin scent, but I shouldn't have worried. Fall. This simply screams it. I want to go pumpkin picking, and drink mulled cider, and take a hay ride.
-
Good heavens, why was this discontinued?!? It can't be because no one liked it; it's wonderful! Sweet and sultry at the same time, it's a delicious scent that I'm sad I'll only see a tiny bit of.
-
I had to try this, just for the name alone, and because I'm a huge fan, etc.... When I put it on, for a minute or two I was underwhelmed. I really wasn't sure *what* I was smelling; it didn't seem foody or cake-y to me at all. After a few, I suddenly smelled something wonderful.... and realized it was me! It morphed, and blended, and became a gorgeous foody scent that doesn't seem foody. I can smell the cake, and the currants, and it's just wonderful. Big bottle buy for me!
-
What a glorious scent! The amber is beautiful, but the spices make it warm, and fuzzy, and I've found it makes a great "I need to mellow out and relax" scent. It doesn't morph on me at all; it stays true to the wonderful bottle scent. This will become a staple for me.
-
I thought I would love this one. However, all I can smell is a weird combo of bourbon and blackberries that doesn't seem right. I'm sure someone else will love my bottles.
-
I really didn't expect to like this much; I thought I'd like Closet much more. It turned out exactly the opposite. This is a foody scent that doesn't scream "foody"; it's light, and complex, and I really enjoy it. Guess I'll be keeping my bottle!
-
Hmm. I ordered this because I thought I'd regret it if it turned out to be wonderful and I didn't have a bottle. On the other hand, I can trade it.... It's nice. A delicate little floral, not much throw on me. However, I'm not into delicate little florals, even nice ones.
-
Berries. Yummy, delicious berries. Mmmmm.
-
When I first sniffed this in the imp, I loved it. Then I tried it. While it is nice, there is something about it that SO doesn't work on me. I"m not sure what it is; it seems like I should like it, but I keep having to turn my head away. Maybe it's the cocoa?
-
I normally like coffee smells, but not this one. I ended up washing it off because my skin disliked it so much. No florals in evidence.
-
All I really get is chocolate, and not the good quality stuff, either. I'm sad, because this sounded divine.
-
Yummy. When I first applied it, the florals were almost citrusy they were so strong, but almost immediately it warmed up, and the vanilla smoothed it out, and the sandalwood gave it roundness. I don't know if a big bottle is in the future, but oh, I'm keeping this imp!
-
Citrus-y incense that didn't like my skin. Too strong.
-
I had a feeling I was really going to like this, and I was soooo right! In the imp, the peach and pear are what I smell most; when I put it on, it blooms into a fabulous mixture of fruit and light florals that I can't stop sniffing. I put some on my arm, so that I could fall asleep with it right near my nose. Big bottle, here I come!
-
Very sweet and fruity in the imp; the florals are evident, but not strong. They take over more when I put it on, but not overtly so. Probably not a big bottle, but I'm glad I have the imp!!
-
I thought I smelled coconut in the imp, along with a spiciness, and a bit of vanilla. On, the spiciness is out in front, and the sweet is in the background, making it a lovely blend as it wafts up to my nose. I'll try it a few more times; it might rate a big bottle.
-
In the imp, it was sweet with a tang to it. On, it was more creamy, and less sweet. I like it, but it doesn't rock my world.
-
Hmm. Maybe there's something wrong with my imp.... I could barely smell anything at all.
-
Oh, this is SO me! I love spicy, musky, sandalwood-y blends, and I've recently discovered I love carnation, too! Big bottle time!!!
