Meechy

In the imp, everything seems so concentrated that all I really smell is floral. A pretty floral, but a little generic. Wet on my skin, I begin to pick out the pear -- it's nice and light and refreshing. I can smell a trace hint of the stargazer lillies as well; could be because they are my favorite flower! After a bit of drying, the pear seems to be the dominant note, with a lovely background of florals. It smells light, airy, and green to me, with a hint of water. It reminds me of spring. It's refreshing and very feminine!

Oh wow. I love this. My first impression was not as pleasing; in the vial, it was intensely lemon -- a bit much so. I would agree with the Pledge comment above! Wet on my skin, still pretty lemony; little subtler, but nothing but citrus. However, after a bit of drying, the vanilla and smoke and musk come to the forefront with the lemon giving it a bit of a subtle edge. It's gorgeously creamy, without being too sweet. Very, very nice.

This was my first imp! And... from reading the latest reviews, I don't feel as awkward about it since all I'm really getting thus far is an intense wintergreen/mint smell. I thought maybe I was missing something, but apparently not! I was initially interested in Hamadryad from the reviews on the first few pages of the thread (I love warm smells, especially cinnamon! and trees? love!), but what I've currently got on is nothing at all like what was described. In the imp, it was an almost sickeningly wintergreen/mint smell mixed with... cheap perfume? It was a little overpowering. Pretty much the same thing wet on my skin, but after drying, the wintergreen/mint smell is starting to mellow a bit. A bit nicer than the initial sniff from the imp, but still nothing like what I had expected from the older reviews.
