In the imp: almond. Wet: almond and orange. Dry: HOLY CAT PEE GODDAMN THIS SMELLS SO BAD HOLY SHIT. this hates my skin. I never understood how people could smell cat pee in perfumes but that's exactly what I get from this. i do smell citrus still and that's contributing to the cat pee thing. must be the combo of the orange with something else, possibly the almond and clove? I actually keep smelling it just because i can't believe it's so bad and have to keep going back to check. it is. do i have to avoid orange from now on? almond has never been a favorite scent but i do love orange and clove... sad!

I bought this about six months ago, didn't like it at first, but just pulled it out for a second try. Out of the vial and wet on the skin, it's soapy and floral (jasmine?) with a slight salty aquatic background. As it dries, it gets a little less soapy and more mellow - almost woody on me. Most of the aquatic background fades as well. The soapiness isn't unpleasant, just... eh. I think I should stay away from dragon's blood from now on, since I usually love aquatics and this is not a standout for me. i'll wear it a few times til the imp runs out and then forget about it.

In the imp, smelled mostly dark herbs with a bitter/smoky edge. Mixed with unscented lotion and applied, smells like a dankly spiced fig. I like fresh figs but I think they taste kind of odd because they're sweet, but unexpectedly light and also... musky? Earthy? This has more darkness in it than a fresh fig, but definitely has that weird combination going on. I like it a lot more on my skin than I expected from the vial.
