In the bottle: It smells sickly sweet, like a intensely sweet pastry with a dash of amaretto, not really my thing. Wet on skin: Same smell, but more cake than pastry, definitely a pound cake and a angel food cake still with a dash of amaretto. Dry down: Softer cake smell, gets yummier with time. A lot more smooth and a touch more tart like a current instead of amaretto. I would have to say I enjoy the dry down when it mellows but in the bottle it's over powering. I think I will save it for a day I feel like smelling extremely foodie.

blah.. wow, I wanted so very badly to love this smell. I wanted a lighter man smell for my sandalwood loving boy. We both thought the combination of bergamot, lavender and moss would be a softer yummy smell on him.. but.. in the bottle it's just some over the counter man cologne standard.. I think it's abercrombie he says it's Ralph Lauren... on him.. I refused to get near him for hours... it was horrific it was walking by abercrombie stores in malls blah... but it did last for hours and hours.. all in all nothing special just a generic smell who's individual notes don't stand out but rather blend together making a smell that doesn't agree with my nose

This was softer than I imagined it would be but that was a nice surprise. I would say it reminds me of rubbing coconut milk on my hands when I'm cooking curries. It doesn't stay for long but it's a really relaxing and subtle sent on me. Would get a big bottle if it had more staying power.

I would say it is fireballs in a perfume. Later on it gets a bit softer.. but on me fireballs all the way. i rank this imp as enjoyable but not something I would buy a large bottle of.

When I first opened this I thought... oh the nasty fig... so sweet.. so fig. I hate figs.. But I thought I bought it I have to try it on besides I love other notes in this blend and I know that perfumes change with your skin chemistry, hopefully. In bottle: fig... sweet, sweet fig. Wet on skin: fig.. fig leaves.. almonds. Dry down: This is when Eden absolutely amazed me. I have never smelt a perfume that morphed so much and so clearly. It went from sweet figs to honey covered almonds.. with the faintest hint of toasted coconut peaking out every once in a while. After several hours though it fades into a soft sandalwood with a hint of sweetness which is equally heavenly as the almond phase. I love this smell. This is going to be my new scent. ^^

In the bottle oh my gosh ginger, acrid, make my nose hurt ginger. Wet on skin: still oh my gosh ginger. Dry down.. takes an hour to get to. But, it's something completely different and is exactly what I was hoping for when I purchased Siren. It turns into soft, jasmine with a hint of vanilla.. no apricot though.. just jasmine, a hint of vanilla.. I likes.

Grapes? Seriously.. Where are they? I wanted grapes so bad. So very, very badly. I coveted a nice juicy grape smell. What I got took me forever to figure out. In bottle.. wood.. not normal wood.. wood mixed in with a bunch of herbs... then I applied it and sniffed my arm for an eternity.. trying to place that smell.. Then pop.. it appeared.. it's freaking ginseng. My arm smells like ginseng. Not a bad smell.. just not grape.. the throw is several hours though.. maybe my nose is off, maybe I will smell like grapes to other people.. One can hope.

So this is the infamous snake oil. It's also my first review... Ok in bottle, smells like ginger, and something sweet.. Wet on my skin it's just ginger with a hint of sweetness... Lucky that disappears rather quickly then it turns into yellow cake batter. O.O After about an hour it's just buttercream frosting. Which is nice, and I do love foody smells it's just very, very sweet. After a few hours it turns into well.. I smell like I have been in a room with sweet vanilla incense burning.. but it's not just smoke it's ashes.. it's like I took the ashes of the incense and rubbed it on my arm. It's odd. I like the vanilla phase and I think it would mix well with other smell. But on it's own the end result for me is ashes...
