Mostly grapefruit in the bottle and wet on my skin, though on my skin there's a hint of currant. As it dries it's very musky and the grapefruit is almost completely gone. The florals are emerging now - this has gone from quite fruity, to musky, to almost entirely floral. Now that it's settled down though, I get the grapefruit again as a top note, then the florals and currant, and the musk as a base. So basically, constantly changing just like the Cheshire Cat! It's settled into a gorgeous, light blend. Definitely a keeper.

I originally mistook Aeval for Aglaea when I smelled it in the bottle, because it was so sweet. On my skin it's very sage-y at first. As it dries down I smell mostly sage and musk, and somehow the combination is a very bright scent. It's pretty faint but strong when I get very close. It's nice and a nice change from most of my other imps, which have a tendency to be extremely floral.

In the bottle I smell almond and apple, with a hint of honey. Wet on my skin it's still very almond-y, but there's myrrh there as well, and the honey is a little stronger. This is an incredibly complex blend, I feel like everytime I sniff my wrist I smell a different note. At first it's not quite as sweet as I was expecting, but I like it. As it dries down I get a lot more honey, though it's tempered by the myrrh. There are also hints of the apple and rose. It's much sweeter now, sort of similar to Thaleia but with more florals. I may not buy a big bottle but I will definitely cherish my imp.

Aglaea didn't smell sweet to me in the bottle at all, must have been the myrtle and ambers. On my skin it's amber with hints of myrtle and peach wine. It's getting sweeter and sweeter as it dries, but I think I preferred the scent when it was wet. Thankfully it sort of reached a pinnacle of sweetness and is coming back down now.

White gardenia, ambergris bouquet, lavender fougere, orange blossom, melissa, tobacco flower, coriander, ebony wood, ylang ylang, absinthe and aged whiskey. In the bottle I smell gardenia and the sickly sweet of absinthe. But right as I apply this all I get is wood and tobacco flower; it's incredibly dry and strong. As it dries down it gets more floral and much fainter, so much that I have to put my nose right up at my wrist to smell anything. As time passes I get hints of lavender and orange blossom but it's still very faint, sadly.

In the bottle I definitely smell the Ozone and the grass. On my skin the florals come out though it's still quite Ozone-y. Very summery, refreshing and light.

This is one that smells really different in the bottle and on my skin. In the bottle I smell a sort of sour fruity note, probably the current. But on my skin it's mostly floral, a lot of rose and what I think must be the wood violet. A hint of musk adds depth to the scent, and the ceder is just barely present. I like this a lot, and I suspect that it will grow on me even more.

In the bottle and wet Hades smells sharply of cypress, almost like furniture polish. Once it's dry though the florals emerge and are lovely. It's floral without being powdery, and has some smokiness to it.

Khephra was quite spicy in the bottle, but is a little calmer on my skin. I smell frankincense mostly, with a hint of cinnamon. It's getting powdery as it dries down, but there's still a bit of spice to it. Very nice, though not a favorite.

In the bottle all I could smell was the cypress, so i wasn't expecting to like Nemesis as much as I do. On my skin it was mostly ginger, and wet it had a bright, peppery scent. It's really pretty and different. As it dried it faded more and more, and I never got any rose or tonka. I'll give this one a few tries though, and hope that it's a chemistry thing.

Privilege smelled harsh and bright in the bottle but on my skin the citrus and vanilla combined to form a surprisingly charming scent. I really wish Paris was still in jail, because Privilege is my new favorite scent!

This is a sweet, incense-y floral that loves my skin - a gorgeous, friendly scent.

In the bottle and wet on my skin all I could smell of this was the lime and the citron, but now that it's dried down a little the musk and lilac come out and I love it! Its sharp but also has depth, and a surprising amount of throw. Definitely a keeper!

In the bottle I smelled lily, though when this was wet on my skin the pepper really jumped out at me. As it dried the white musk came out more; now I mostly smell musk and lily. It's a lovely scent, though I wish I smelled the woods and the mandarin!

In the bottle I mostly smell the red wine, but on my skin the rose comes out strongly with a hint of musk. It's a gorgeous, deep and intense scent. I've already ordered my 5ml bottle!

I love Thaleia! In the bottle I smell the gardenia primarily, but wet on my skin the scent is primarily honey. As it dries the blood orange emerges. This is a scent that never stops evolving on me, but I love all of its incarnations!

My skin really amps up the frankincense of Danse Macabre, and I don't love the resulting scent. It's a shame cause I really like the smell in the bottle.

I got this as a frimp in my last order, and I'm so glad I did! Voodoo Lily is spicy and sexy but not too heavy. It also has incredible staying power. I'm definitely thinking about a big bottle of this one.

A scent pulsing with vitality, warmth and insurmountable strength: dragon's blood resin, red and black musks, a throb of fig and a sliver of black currant. Very spicy and warm, but a little too overwhelming on my skin.

Amber, saffron and bergamot with mandarin, nutmeg, Bulgar rose, musk and sandalwood. The musk and sandalwood really come out on me, which was a surprise since in the bottle I mostly smelled amber. I like Baghdad more and more as it dries.

Alice is too light and powdery for my taste, and it evaporated quickly.

The Temptation is a lovely floral. Wet it didn't seem like anything special, but once it dried the peach notes really came out and created a lovely scent.

The sharp apple smell of Poisoned Apple in the bottle and wet on my skin actually gave me a headache. But once it dried down the hemlock and opium gave the scent some depth and I started to like it a lot.

Pride smells lovely in the bottle, but on my skin it quickly turned soapy.

My sister described Envy in the bottle as drinking a mojito in the bath. I think that's pretty accurate, but I love mojitos and baths so it works out! On my skin the mint complements the lime very nicely, and the lavender is pretty subtle. Unfortunately Envy evaporates almost within an hour, but it smells so good that I'll happily reapply!
