femmefatale

After reading the desciption I was really excited to try this one. I love both of these scents. In the imp it was very sweet fruit smelling, not much of the rose. Wet on the skin it was a very tart fruit scent, still not much of the rose coming out. As it begins to dry down the rose is beginning to show, but it's not overpowering, nor too sweet. Starts to balance out. A very nice fruity rose. Even if your not a big fan of rose scents, try this one out. It's very pretty. ETA: hmmm....after a few hours it's starting to smell....not sure. It's hard to put my finger on it. No longer roses or fruit. Almost a little....stale? Old? Not sure. A while later hubby said it smelled liike mothballs. ewwwww... I think I will still give it one more chance down the road, but unfortunately, I'm not holding out much hope. I thought for sure this would be "me".

At first it was way too foody, almost making me queasy. Luckily, that didn't last long. As it began to dry, the spices and and to a lesser extent the tobacco came out. Something sweet also, but not foody. Perhaps the black coconut? I'm happy I was able to pick up a bottle of this.

In the bottle: Very sweet coconut Wet: I catch a hint of floral and aquatic coming out. Very nice. Reminds me of the beach. Drydown: oddly, it smells wonderful on my one wrist but on the other it smells a bit...plastic? I think I'll have to wash it off the one and try again. Other than my one weird wrist, I really really like this. Assuming the odd scent doesn't reappear, I will be getting a bottle of this. What a perfect summer scent! ETA: Tried it again and it made me a bit sick. It had this weird toasted plastic smell. I really wanted this to work, but sadly, no.

This was actually the first bpal scent I wanted to try and I am soooo glad I finally did. In the bottle it smells just like fresh cut grass. OMG, it is so yummy. I loved that smell growing up in Fla, the mix of cut grass and something wet. As it begins to dry a sweetness comes out and something floral. Also, a wonderful salty aquatic. I don't really get the wine, which is actually fine with me. It's very tropical and seductive. I absolutely LOVE it. Will definately get a bottle.

It the bottle it was very perfumey. Wet it was very promising, but as it dried, it did take on the rose perfume scent as oppsed to a true rose. Not bad, but not one I would buy a bottle of. I might try this one once more to decide whether or not I will be keeping the imp.

Wet it's violets violets violets. Youch. As it dries it begins to sweeten without being too sweet. Also a hint of spice and incense. My nose must be off, because I swear I'm getting a very slight aquatic scent. I like it, but will have to try it a couple more times. I just hope it doesn't turn all powdery on me. I'm also looking forward to trying the second imp I have of this, as it's a slightly different color so I'm wondering if the scent will be as well.

think I got an older imp because I got absolutely no peach (thank god). instead it is a sandalwood incense smell that dries to more of a powdery incense scent. Very nice, though I think I over did it as it gave me a headache. I will probably keep the imp, if for nothing else than a room scent. Or perhaps just a touch on the back of the knees so that it's not so strong and a little sexy.

My chemistry must be really wonky because lately so many scents are turning into powder on me. It started out as a very sharp rose, as it began to dry down I could catch a hint of earthy scent, but it didn't last long. After a while it was a decent rosey perfume, but now that has even disappeared and now I smell like my mil (powder and make-up). Oddly enough though, the bit I put on my cleavage actually kept the rose scent and smells better than what I put on my wrists. hmmm? Maybe I'll keep the imp and try again, but I won't be getting a bottle. Or perhaps in a scent locket it would smell better?

Wet: mmmm...a nice warm woody rose. Not at all the fake rose perfume scent. As it dries the sandalwood and patchouli start to make an appearance, but not overwhelming. This is actually a very nice blend. I like that it doesn't end up smelling old lady or too powdery/soapy. Very happy I got the imp, but will have to try it a few more times before deciding on a bottle. ETA: Well, after a while of wearing this, I guess I was wrong. Dh said it smells like his grandmother. Definately will not be keeping.

Hmmm, not sure about this one. It started it VERY rose, then took on an incensey rose smelml, then got a bit powdery. Strangely enough though, I can't stop sniffing my wrist. it seems there is something right there on the edge that I can't quite get to. Will keep the imp, but will have to wear it a couple more times to make up my mind about a bottle. ETA: After wearing it for a while, I really like this. It really is a nice blend of incense and rose. It reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on, but it makes me feel a bit wistful. Quite possibly bottle worthy.

Wet it's a very sharp scent, almost too sharp with a little softness lurking. Dry the soft florals come out more. On me it's a rather traditional perfume scent. Not bad, but not exactly me. Strangely though, I keep sniffing my wrists. Oddly, on my right wrist it is still sharper smelling than on my left, though I apply it to my left. I might keep the imp, but it's unlikely I would buy the bottle.

In the imp I smelled something sharp and...cherry? Wet, very strong icky almonds. I almost washed it off right then, but forced myself to wait and see. As it's drying down, the sandalwood and coconut comes out and the almond calms down. Makes me think of sitting at an outdoor rest. on the beach in the evening. Something I would wear when I want a summer scent, but with a sexy twist. I like it, though I will have to try it another couple times before deciding on a bottle. ETA: Tried it again and it's ok. I doubt I will get a bottle.

In the bottle and wet it smelled like very strong, very sweet irish coffee. As it dried something...sharp and acrid came out. Maybe the wood? I also caught a hint of the old books, but not good. There was also the smell of vanilla extract. Again, not good. I had to go wash it off after a little while because it was giving me a headache and made me a bit sick. Definately in the swap pile.

Wow, pure honeysuckle in the bottle. And STRONG! Wet it was a very sweet, strong honeysuckle. Gave me a headache as well that went away as it dried. As it's drying down the jasmine comes out along with a touch of something. Maybe a bit of spice? Hubby really likes this one on me. I wil wear this again, though a little more lightly on the wrists, but more on the back of the knees etc to help keep away the headache reaction. Not sure if I will buy a bottle. Will have to try it a few more times.

Ow, that is really really strong at first. And it's a very perfumey scent. Not liking it so much wet. As it's drying down, ew, it's not changing much. I'm not getting any of the grapefruit. It just smells like some bad perfume I tried years ago. Maybe it would work better with hubby's chemistry becuase it's just not working with mine.

I LOVE this one! Started out a very sharp, strong (but nice) aquatic but as it dried down it began to morph into something a bit sweeter and fresher. A bit soapy but very lovely. I can see this being worn by either a male or female. I'm going to have to have hubby try it. This is a definate keeper and I might just have to get a bottle! Can't wait to see how it wears when the weather gets hot and sticky.

Oh, WOW! I love love love this one. In the imp it was rather sweet smelling, though not unpleasant. Wet the rose dominates, but not in a sickly sweet way. it's actually very nice. As it dried the leather definately comes out and the roses become secondary. Wouldn't be my every day scent, but definately one that I would wear when I want to feel sexy. It's not a light "I want to be seduced" scent, it a definate "I know what I want and will take it" scent. Hubby loves it. LOL Will most certainly be buying a bottle of this. In fact, I think hubby already plans to.

In the imp and wet it's super strong and rather icky, like a really bad drugstore perfume. As it dries though it loses the harshness and begins to soften quite a bit. Starts to smell very powdery on me. Almost like Baby Love that someone tried to "grow up" a little. I wouldn't buy a bottle, but I will probably try this again just to see. ETA: No I won't. I smell like old lady mixed w/baby powder. ewww. Not quite what I was going for.

Mmmmm...very nice. Wet on me it's a warm vanilla, nice because it's not too sweet. As it dries it there's a slight spice to it and I catch a hint of something I can't quite put my finger on. All in all, I really like this one. Might have to put it on my bottle list.

Ooooh, I like this one. The coconut and musk were stronger when I first applied it, but then they faded and I catch a hint of the hazelnut and iris. I still smell the musk in the background, I just wish the coconut lasted longer. I'm glad I got a bottle and can't wait to see what it's like once the weather warms up.

Hubby tried this one since some reviewers said it was more masculine. At first it was rather sweet. I could've sworn I caught a bit of honeysuckle. As it dried down it took on a smokey incense smell. Really very nice. I think I'll be trying this one myself soon

At first I did get the fresh linen, just washed scent. Then it turned a bt more floral (plumeria?). Hubby said it smells like walking into Bath and Body works (which he likes). I'll probably keep the imp, I think it would make a nice summer scent, but I don't think I'll buy a bottle. I'm glad I got to try it though.

I got this mostly for hubby and omg, I am so glad I did! It smells so sexy on him! At first it was a smokey musk and then dried to a wonderful fresh and slightly sweet scent with just a hint of smoke in the background. I love it and will very likely be ordering a bottle. Of course, now I'm really wondering how it would smell on me? hmmm... ETA: Tried it on me and it seems to have a bit more spice in it than on dh. I really like it.

I never would've tried this if I hadn't gotten it as a surprise imp. I am soooo happy I did! Wet, it was very pepperminty with a hint of creamy sugar (a bit cotton candy). As it dries, the mint rapidly takes a back seat to the sugar, which smells like a yummy, not too sweet vanilla. I really, really like this. I'm going to hurry up and buy a bottle before it's too late!

Wet: Very masculine cologne. Luckily it doesn't last too long. Drying: Once again, smells different on each of my wrists. My right wrist amps the musk, my left amps the patchouli. The florals are beginning to come out, as is the sandalwood. Not getting any of the yuzu or lime. I think the lavender may be lurking underneath it all, but it's more of an impression. It's a really lovely scent, though I think it might be better suited for hubby. Can't wait to try it out on him!
