Mirabila

Like AliBabble, this is my first Zodiac scent, bought because it's my sun sign as well. I must say, it's not what I expected for Sagittarius. I am unfamiliar with most of the notes listed for this scent, but i'm picking up a tiny bit of what must be the clove in the initial nose and when it's wet on my skin. in the drydown, it's turning into a smell not unlike suntan oil. there's some kind of coconutty smell there, that, while not unpleasant, may not be something i dig wearing. I smell like a hotel pool! It is super springlike--seems like an air sign rather than fire. i may put it away until the weather warms up again and give it another test then. Oh wait--now it's been on my skin a little longer and the clove and sage are definitely coming out. It smells like a springtime Christmas, if that makes any sense. Very soft--it's different for me, but i think i like it!

I'm a Francophile and oh-so-muchly wanted to love this, but unfortunately it was a definite NO for me. In the bottle and on my skin it was too sickly sweet/bubblegummy for me, with hardly any lavender coming out. I wanted to wash it off, but left it on to see if it softened or any of the spice aromas came out, but unfortunately all I got was a headache. Le sigh.

Ok, this is my first review, so bear with me. I'm not to the point where I can pick out many individual notes yet. I got this in my second pack of imps. The first group I got had lots of light woods and amber-y stuff in it, which didn't really work on me, so I went for much darker smells this time around. And I'm so glad I did. Black Annis may be the most delicious thing I've ever smelled on myself. In the bottle--nice, completely lacking in anything I usually smell in a perfume: no florals, no fruits, no foods. Just a smell that's...carnal? I get the oak and lichen for sure, and something very soft too. On my skin, wet--awesome. Earthy and sensual, but I'm not getting any of the anise or civet others seem to smell. Dry--Lasts a long time, but turns very soft. Not quite powdery, but very feminine and comforting, with a primal edge. I think I've found my first big bottle!
