In the decant, it smells very fizzy. I can detect the fruit and the jasmine as well.

When it is first applied on the skin, it still smells very fizzy, like a sparkling fruity beverage. As time goes by, the fizzy scent starts to fade, and the fruit and florals come out more. It's definitely a purple scent! Sadly, the jasmine does peek out more with time. My boyfriend made a comment that this scent smelled okay from far away, but it was too 'perfume-y' up close.

Verdict: This will not be a bottle purchase for me.

I thought I would like this one in the imp. I mainly get the plum and carnation.

Wet: It's still spicy plum, and I like it.

Dry: As time goes by, the musk becomes a lot more prominent. It becomes the dominant note of this scent on me. While I like the scent itself, I do not like it on me. It's too masculine for me, but I'm sure I would enjoy smelling this on someone else. It's just not for me.

In the bottle: Lavender-y lemonade. The lemon is the most prominent, but the lavender is definitely there.

Wet: The lemon is the dominant note, but the lavender is definitely present.

Dry: The 'sugar' part of the lemon sugar becomes more noticeable with time. However, it is not as sugary as I had hoped it would be. The lavender does not take control at any point (much to my dismay). Like another reviewer, I had also hoped this would be predominantly lavender with heavily sugared lemons. However, it was true to the description.

I can see this being a great summer scent, and while it is not my favorite of the Tremulous Song scents (like I originally thought it would be), I'll definitely keep my bottle.

I can detect all of the notes in the decant, but the vanilla-marshmallowy goodness is the most prominent.

Wet: Once it is on my skin, the vanilla marshmallowy goodness starts to go away really quickly, and the sugary rose and the strawberry are the dominant notes. I was wary of ordering a bottle unsniffed because of the strawberry (despite all of the other notes being pure win). I am happy to report that the strawberry compliments the rose, and it is not at all an artificial, cloying strawberry scent, either. If you are worried about this blend because of the 'hint of strawberry,' don't let it scare you away!

Dry: This remained as a sugary-rose with strawberry for a really long time, but the vanilla-marshmallowy goodness peeked out after wearing it for almost 10 hours. The vanilla/marshmallow phase stays rather close to the skin, though.

Verdict: As a huge fan of sugary-florals, I'll definitely be needing a bottle of this!

In the imp: This is really promising! I love the scent of oranges, and that's what I mainly get from the imp. Juicy oranges!

Wet: It smells mainly like it did in the imp, juicy oranges with a spicy note...maybe ginger or clove?

Dry: Ugh, this is terrible on me! My skin chemistry ruined it. It went rather odd and cough-syrupy on me. Too bad, because it was promising in the imp!

This is a very clean, floral scent.

When it is first sprayed, it has a bit of a soapy scent to it, but that quickly disappears as it settles, and the florals come out. I didn't think this one was as strong as the other atmosphere sprays that I own, until I went to a restaurant, came back home, and found that the house smelled really strongly of florals.

This is a wonderful springtime scent! I'm very happy to own a bottle.

In the imp: Something in this reminds me of Lush's Blousey shampoo with a bit of citrus.

On the skin: Very herby, somewhat citrusy, a bit spicy. It's a very in-your-face herbal scent, but the citrus component seems to come out more with time. I think geranium is probably the most prominent note in this...I don't get the chamomile some other reviewers have mentioned. I think there may be some fennel in this as well.

It does seem to have a calming effect, but I think I'll just keep my imp and pass on a bottle.

I applied Midnight on the Midway on Friday evening. It is now Saturday evening, and it has already chipped. However, I did not use a top coat.

The color is beautiful (a shimmery plum), but, like the above viewer said, it is streaky/ridged on the nails. I applied two coats to get the color that is seen in the bottle.

This is the first BPTP claw polish that I've tried (I also have Blood Countess and Lady Macbeth). I hope that those polishes are stronger. I do think this is a lovely, shimmery plum, though!

In the imp: Chocolate (not a creamy, milk chocolate, though), cedar, and pistachio

Wet: Cedar and pistachio? The chocolate was hardly there at all as soon as I applied it.

Dry: It seemed to become more masculine as time went by! Cedar and oakmoss were the prominent notes...no mint or chocolate to be found.

Verdict: This was too masculine for me. I was hoping for more chocolate out of this one, so I won't be purchasing a full bottle.

Retest, after the imp has aged for five years:

In the imp: Chocolate (more of a thin, dark chocolate on an after-dinner mint), mint, and cedar, with a bit of pistachio.

Wet: Light chocolate and soft mint, with a bit of vanilla and cedar. The scent is really, really light on me. After a bit, the cedar begins to gain strength, and I can also smell some of the pistachio and oakmoss.

Dry: This remains a rather light scent, but it mainly smells like a chocolate, mint, and vanilla-tinged cedar and oakmoss scent on me now. When the imp was fresh, I mostly just got the cedar and green notes, and the sweet notes disappeared pretty much instantly. The scent is a lot different now. I'd say it's Tombstone's whimsical cousin.

Verdict: Aging has done wonders for this one. I didn't really care for it back in 2013, but now I really enjoy it! I just wish it were a little stronger. I'm either going to start collecting imps of this to age, or get a bottle to start aging.
