    Blood Countess

    ... Corrupted black plum, smoky opium and crumbling dead roses covered by a deceptive veil of Hungarian lilac, white gardenia and wild berry. This one is very sweet in the bottle and on the skin. I smell lots of cherries and berries. After a little while something spicy pokes his head through...which I don't care for. If it stayed all berries and cherries I would have loved her...

    Ouija

    From the description I should like this but I don't. In the bottle it was really sharp and strong. On, it settled a bit but has an odd smell...like melting plastic. Not a keeper for me

    Terpsichore

    Well, I don't know what neroli smells like...or even what it is. But after reading what this is supposed to smell like, and being familiar with most everything listed, I'd have to agree that it must be mostly neroli because I really dont smell the vanilla, iris, sweet pea, apple blossom etc....although I am catching sniffs of carnation here and there. It's soft but something doesn't agree with me. It leaves a weird taste in my mouth for some reason.

    Casanova

    Definitely more of a male scent. It reminds me a lot of one of my husband's colognes, I think of "Tommy" combined with "Woodland" from Bath and Body shop. Both make me go MMMMMMMM I put some on my husband's arm and he decided he wants a bottle, which is fine by me Then a weird thing happened. It morphed into something softer. Still more boyish, but a girl could definitely get away with wearing this, especially if you like that kind of smell. I really like this one and I am looking forward to smelling it on my husband on a daily basis

    Fruit Moon

    Very sweet in the bottle and on the skin. It does lighten up a bit after a while and some sort of spice comes forward, ever so slight, to calm the fruitiness down a bit. It reminds me of an exotic fruit salad...not the regular kind with apples and oranges, etc....but one you would get while on vacation in Hawaii, mangos, kiwis, guava, papaya, all fresh and delicious.

    Aglaea

    A nice, clean scent. Reminds me of standing out in the sun hanging freshly washed clothes on a clothes line. The only issue I had with this one was it faded rather quickly.

    Monster Bait: Underpants

    What can be said that hasn't been said before. This scent is AMAZING! I'm on the lookout for a 5ml...wishful thinking Even my husband, who isn't a fan of the smelly things, LOVED it and put some on. I wanted to eat my arm...and his arm too. A must have if you love the sweet, yummy scents.

    Hollywood Babylon

    This one is one of my favorites so far. It's a gorgeous scent. Definitely smell strawberries, but it's not overpowering. A very delicious scent that will make you hungry I didn't notice too much of a change from the bottle to my skin...which is great because I wanted to drink the bottle Love it!

    Goneril

    I dont read reviews or descriptions before I do the sniff/wear test just so I dont taint my initial thoughts with what it *should* smell like. Usually I can pick a few notes out...this one was hard to pinpoint. It smelled kind of orange and bright in the bottle...maybe magnolia? On my wrist it got very lemony and smelled like really expensive soap. Overall I liked it. After reading the reviews/description I can smell the lily...I guess I missed it or couldn't identify it at first.

    Queen of Sheba

    It's very interesting to read reviews after you've already tried out an imp. I did smell some spiciness to this one (very slight) but the thing that I smelled, and smelled a lot of, wasn't even mentioned in the description...cherries! Maybe my nose is wonky but this smelled like cherries baking in a pot over a fire with sugar and a dab of vanilla cream. Mmmmmmm

    Sed Non Satiata

    I hated this one in the bottle. Too strong and I am definitely more of an "airy-light" fan. This is NOT airy or light. Very heavy scent. Woody almost. On...I like it a little better. I smell some spiciness...like cinnamon. Still a little strong for me. Not a fan, but I'm not trading it away either. For some reason I feel like I need to revisit this one later... Edited to add: I'm glad I gave this a try because after about 10 minutes this morphed into one lovely smelling oil. It's not strong or "heady" like I initially thought. Now it's a gorgeous, interesting scent with a kick. I KNEW there was something I was missing with this when I first put it on. Bottom line, once you get over the initial punch, it's gorgeous.

    Juliet

    Here is one that worked opposite on me. In the bottle I LOVED it. I thought I found my new scent. It smelled very airy and flowery, like being at a botanical garden. Applied it got weird. Too much *something*...is that honeysuckle? It overpowers me. Oh well. I still wouldn't dismiss this one...this is probably a case of my body chemistry not liking poor Juliet

    Neo-Tokyo

    In the bottle this had a sharp, clean scent. On my wrist, it calmed down a bit and became more powdery, which I LOVED. After a while it got creamy-smelling. I really like this one and I'm really glad I tried it on because this is one that I like much better ON, than in the bottle. Give her a try!

    Beatrice

    In the bottle it's pure heaven...and on my wrist it's heaven multiplied. WOW Light, airy, casual, beautiful, feminine, soft, and mysterious. I need a big bottle of this...must search....

    Chimera

    In the bottle this smells wonderful. Very clean and airy. Has an almondy scent to it with a hint of a spice, which I assume is the cinnamon. On...it's hit and miss. Sometimes I smell my wrist and think WOW, that's amazing.. Sometimes I smell too much spiciness. That said, I wouldn't dismiss this scent. It's a very interesting blend and definitely one to wear if you want to be noticed I like it but probably not enough to upgrade to a bottle. But I will definitely keep the imp

    Antique Lace

    This one was a decanted imp I got in a sale and one I was really interested in trying. In fact, this is the very first bpal oil I ever smelled. I was a little disappointed though. To me it smelled like church. Heavy perfume coming from the person next to you while sitting in church. And it stayed strong. I tried washing it off several times with no luck. This one made me sad because I loved it by the description and was hoping it would work with my chemistry...but alas it wasn't meant to be.

    Suspiro

    In the bottle it smells really clean, but a little strong on the floral side. When I put it on it calmed down a bit and developed a slight spice of some kind. It reminded me a lot of the perfume Anais Anais. I'm very happy with this one and if you are a floral person you will love it too.

    Marie

    In the bottle it smells really nice. A soft and clean scent. I am bad at picking out notes but I did catch rose, which I am a fan of. It was soft enough to wear to sleep. The only problem was I had really bad nightmares last night, which could have nothing to do with the scent, but I thought I would mention it. I dreamed I was dying and couldn't breath. I still enjoyed this scent a lot. Next time, I'll wear it during the daytime
