LizziesLuck Report post Posted September 21, 2016 A report from the land of dreams: honeyed patchouli, Madagascan black pepper, fossilized amber oil, beeswax absolute, massoia bark, Egyptian myrrh, and a thin thread of blood-red saffron. Wet: Mmmm. So unique so far! Hard to pin down. It's sweet. And there's some really subtle earthy patchouli. Intriguing. Dry: This is primarily a honey and beeswax scent on me, which I love! The patchouli is just a hint in the background. I can't really pick out the other notes, but there is certainly something more to it, giving it depth and interest. I really like it!

lizabelle Report post Posted April 23, 2017 What a beauty. From the notes I was guessing I would love this, and I absolutely do. It's well-blended enough that I really have to sniff and think to get individual notes out of it, but I'd say the beeswax, patch, amber, and saffron are the most prominent, in that order. The pepper and myrrh add some spice and depth; this is what I'd call a golden-colored scent, but it has some darkness mixed in. It's actually rather spice-heavy, which I realized recently I don't have much of. I'll be wearing it lots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavenintheWind Report post Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) At this point, it's well aged, which is a bonus. Overall: a lovely resinous honeyed blend, almost skin musky, but with that depth from the pepper, saffron, and myrrh. Blessedly non-patchouli..glad I have a bottle. In the bottle: All Resins/myrrh plus I smell patchouli, which worries me because I have a lot of trouble with BPAL patch. Wet: Yay, honey! with beeswax. I love BPAL honey, and it loves me. Dry: Now I get an almost floral note of sweetness as the blend steps back. It's become a honeyed, resinous skin musk with a smidge of saffron. Feminine (womanly), but not OTT. Not a lot of spice or throw, which is fine with me. Edited January 5, 2018 by RavenintheWind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucchesa Report post Posted September 9, 2018 I retested my tester of Imaginer this morning to decide whether or not to buy a bottle here on the forums. (My notes said only "want more!") Imaginer feels really right on my skin: a deep russet cloak to wrap around myself on a frigid day. It's dark honey and the rich amber I love so much and warm patchouli, a gorgeous warming blend for autumn and winter. I'm often anosmic to the Lab's pepper note, but the pepper and saffron seem to be contributing to the overall warmth and depth. No hippie patchouli here; this is sophisticated and work-appropriate. The throw is low, but it lasts really well on me. Want more is right! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
