    Midnight on the Midway (2006)

    very very sweet, but there florals tame it down and take it into a new direction. It's quite a lovely balance.

    Odin

    This is very masculine to me as well. The musk turns almost to pine on me. It's very strange and not in a good way.

    Carnal

    I had been putting off trying this one for a while. I just didn't think that I was going to like it all that much. I put it on and I was in fruit heaven. The manderine was light and sweet, but the fig had a nice deep dark note to it that just make it more 'full' I love it!

    Machu Picchu

    Oh wow yum. I love the fruit with the green that holds it down from being oversweet or cloying.

    Sri Lanka

    Smoky, incense and dry wood. This is a nice scent but too masculine for me.

    New Orleans

    I'm just going to have to give up on Jasmine. It just jumps up and takes over anything else it's mixed with. *sigh* Maybe a scent locket or something. I wanted to love this one so much just for the name.

    Paris

    Lavender always turns into a 'dirty' smell for me. It just overpowers everything else.

    Manhattan

    I smell the lemon and the tea. It kind of reminds me of the lemonheads candies.

    Tenochtitlan

    Oh this is a definate yum! I got the prickly pear and then something that just smacks 'desert blooms' to me. Maybe it's just the prickly pear amping up but I'm liking it a lot.

    Sybaris

    This one turns to violet/babypower the minute it dried down. This was quite dissapointing. I'm thinking violets and tonka don't like me much.

    Cairo

    I first put this one on with a little bit of nervousness. Cairo....just WHAT would that city smell like? I put it on and my husband could smell it 5 feet away. I hadn't even asked if he could smell it. It's a lovely warm rich scent. Almost foodie, but not quite. Definatly incense afterscent. I'm liking it a lot.

    Rome

    This one started out very sharp. It almost stung my eyes. I'm missing all the roses and other light smelling things. I think I'm with the other poster who put it in with Vicks. :-(

    Amsterdam

    I agree that this is an outdoor floral scent. Lots of green grass and water. But the tulip is definatly in there. Oh for the single notes...*sigh* I love the way that the water and the flowers mix. It's really light and sweet without being 'stuffy room'

    Bayou

    I've tried this one several times and I can't tell if I really love it or I really hate it. It's definatly green and aquatic at the same time. I really do smell the swaplands, but there's a darker almost rotten smell underneith (which would complete the swamp I suppose)

    Baghdad

    This one reminds me a lot of the Phantom Caliope. Dark wood with a faint scent of varnish. It's probably much better in the oil burner than on my skin.

    Shanghai

    Wet this one was lemony and tea but as soon as it dried it turned into a very old lady's soap scent. :-( I wanted the soothing (and hunger-easing) propertys. It makes me sneeze too.

    Vinland

    I really wanted this one to work for me. I miss home and the snow so much. Unfortuanatly it turned into Vick's Vapor rub. Blech!

    Hunger

    This one smelled rancid and left a bitter taste in the back of my throat. (no I didn't try to eat it) But I know the imp is probably old as I got it from a swap and it was only partially full. I might retry this one with a fresh bottle.

    Euphrosyne

    wet:floral and bubblegum. Light and tasty! I didn't smell the jasmine. Which is good because usually jasmine will jump up and take my nose off. dry:faint vanilla with a nice pretty floral. I'm actually able to enjoy the jasmine for once. This is definalty a good lotion candidate.

    Santa Eularia Des Riu

    Wet it was overpoweringly jasmine. Enough to make my eyes water, and I had used a VERY sparing amount to test. I knew that jasmine tends to explode on me. As it dried down the jasmine amazingly settled down a bit and I was able to smell the citrus. Very pleasant smell.

    Depraved

    Wet this smelled strongly of apricots. Sweet with a hint of darkness underneith. Dry it turned to 'corkboard' Guess that one is heading to the swap pile

    How full is full?

    I just got an a 6 pack of imps from the lab today and I noticed that three of them were below label level before I'd even opened them. The labels didn't appear to be put on any higher or lower than any of the other imps I've gotten with lab labels. I guess as with anything that has the human factor in it, there's always going to be some variances.

    EPIC BPAL Spreadsheet Thread

    I don't know much about access, but I was wondering can you import from an excel file to make an access database? I know how to make one by hand, but if it'd just take the current xls it would be so much quicker.

    Punkie Night

    In the bottle this smelled of cider spices and apples One it got on me though, the apples dissappeared and it was more cinnemon and spice. Very nice though. A good fall scent

    All Souls

    Sweet sugary cakes straight out of the bottle Wet there was a sweet almost berry scent that came out. Quite lovely. Dry: wow the current pop up with a really nice throw. still very sweet but not foody.
