In the bottle: smoky like a saloon. I'm guessing this is the balsam and cedar. Interesting. Wet on skin: Still a bit smoky smelling. I like that but it took some getting used to. Dry on skin: Holy moly...The smoky scent turns into vanilla and my body chemistry loves vanilla. I'm trying to resist the urge to eat myself. Definitely a smellie that I'm going to buy a full 5ml of.

Harlot. Oh, my sweet little thing. In the vial: Harlot smells rosey but it's a dark rose scent (which I'm grateful for). I'm reminded of burgundy roses as opposed to the regular red ones so this scent has promise. Wet on skin: Rose? What rose? A sweet musky smell is wafting off my wrists. I still smell roses but that's coming from my cleavage. Dry on skin: Hours later she's still working her magic. There's a slight rose scent mixed with the musk on my wrists (cleavage still smells like roses but in a good way). Normally rose scents make me smell like my grandma but this one doesn't. It actually makes me smell quite delightful and more than a little flirty.

Sexuality, power, confidence. A meeting of modern, sleek elegance and rich, passionate history: sheer amber, black leather, white mint, lemon peel, white tea, grapefruit, kush, teakwood and orchid. In the imp: A cosmo waiting to be drank. Wet on skin: citrusy with a slightly dark undercurrent Dry on skin: Manhattan is gorgeous when it dries. Still citrus fresh and glamorous. In the end: Reminds me of the city it's named for; cultured and refined but with a hard edge. I love this one.

Blood Kiss....you really don't like me and that's okay because it's mutual. In the imp: Cherries and wine. The scene from "Witches of Eastwick" plays out when I think of that cherry smell. Wet on skin: It definitely doesn't want me wearing it. The wine scent becomes extremely bitter on me. The cherries are buried under it. Dry on skin: *sobs* I wanted so much to like this one, but in the end I smelled like cat vomit. This is the first scent that has made me want to cry.

Follow Me Boy is quite the sexy little thing on me. She's all curled up like a sweet kitten that smells of patchouli (I smell patchouli which I could be wrong about but that's exactly what I'm getting). In bottle: A little strong but nice. Wet on skin: Oh god...I could molest myself. A soft musky patchouli drifts off my skin...oooh yes. Dry: Slightly powdery but still musky. It isn't overpowering now, but very very soft and beautiful. This is definitely a scent that will get a 5ml bottle. I haven't tried it for its intended purpose but I plan on doing so and I'm hoping that it does what it says.

If anyone smells pine needles it would be me. Old Scratch loves me apparently but I'm a little lukewarm. In the bottle he has all the airs of a dapper Victorian gent; lavender sweetness, prickly pine needle warmth. Wet on the skin the pine scent took over and dominated. Even dry it does also. Old Scratch makes me smell a little like a man which isn't bad as I sometimes prefer masculine scents over feminine scents, but I smell a bit like my grandfather. I'll keep Old Scratch because maybe I can enable a dear male friend of mine or on those days I want to smell like a man I'll put a few drops of this on.

La Petit Mort is my "girly girl" scent. When I first smelled this in the imp I thought of Johnson's Baby Oil; sweet and powdery. Wet on my skin it maintains that smell too with a hint of something rosey and gentle. It's not overbearing but it lets you know its there. As it dried I still smelled the roses but also other floral notes that I can't place. It's a beautiful scent and as much as it loves me, I love it back.

I received this as part of a mystery imp set and at first sniff I thought of cedar and dirt. It reminds me growing up in the country, rainy summer days and how the ground would smell afterwards. Meaning it's a comfort scent for me. Wet on my skin this scent smelled exactly like soil and wood shavings. As it dries though it becomes more woodsy but the scent is not strong. It's a soft scent with a hint of something piney. I don't mind smelling piney. It's a very light scent though when it dries and I have to get really close to completely smell it. Basically this is a scent I'll probably keep because of its comforting smell.

Not sure which one I inherited but either way I'm in love with it. In the bottle: Root beer and brown sugar. Sweetness in a bottle. Wet on skin: Sugary yet with a boozy sexy undertone. Not overwhelming but warm and inviting. Dry on skin: Lives up to its name, the little minx. Maintains its wet scent throughout and never lets up. It's not a sucker punch of a scent though. Yet it doesn't let you forget it either. I wrote on my LJ that if a man walked by slathered in this stuff they'd have to remove me with force. It's just that good to me.

My precious Sed Non Satiata. Cognac and honey drew me to you and kept me there. Imp scent: Very heady. The cognac, musk, myrrh and red patchouli are slightly strong (but not overwhelming) and give the scent its weight so to speak. Wet on skin: Sweet. The honey, geranium and tuberose notes start to make their appearance. Geranium is the dominant one. Dry on skin: Dusty sweetness. Like the sweet scent of real body musk during foreplay. Notes: About 8 hours later this scent inherits a rather tobacco influence. I'm assuming that that would be thanks to my own body chemistry and not the scent itself. It still smells divine though later in the day and has become a candidate for my signature scent.

By far, our most popular scent! Magnetic, mysterious, and exceedingly sexual in nature. A blend of exotic Indonesian oils sugared with vanilla. This was picked on a whim and because I had heard great things about it. Imp: Spicy sweet and dark Wet on skin: Spicy, musky with a faint undertone of something wickedly sweet Dry on skin: Maintained its wet on skin smell just with a bit of the musk becoming more prominent as the day went on. My favorite little imp (besides my precious Sed Non Satiata), I plan on investing in at least 10 bottles of Snake Oil. Gotta have enough to keep me happy.
