in vial: fruity wet:fruity still with the florals getting stronger Drydown: Mostly floral with maybe a hint of fruit. Started out very strong, has calmed down a bit and is softer.

In vial: sweet floral with hint of tangy-ness Wet: All Orchids! Very floral! Drydown: It is all Orchids I don't really smell anything else.

In Vial: Masculine sweet, smells like Fall Wet: Perfumey, a little strong, smells like dead woods and leaves. Drydown: Still sweet, has a hint of aftershave which causes this to smell a bit masculine but on overly so. This is very much a Fall/Autumn fragrance.

Selune, the Moon Goddess, fell in love with a beautiful shepherd named Endymion. She appealed to Zeus, asking him to cast Endymion into everlasting slumber so that she could be with him for all eternity. Her wish was granted, and every night the Goddess visited her love as he slept. A sweet, wistful blend of d’Anjou pear, Lily of the Valley, bois du rose and white musk. In Vial: Sweet pear mixed with floral Wet: Wonderful, delicious pear. Not too sweet! The florals are rising. No musk yet. I am smelling the rose now. My skin amps rose and I do not like rose. Drydown: Unfortunately this has turned to all roses on me. I am going to dilute it and try as a spray or air scent and see if I can keep the wonderful pear scent and leave the rose behind.

IN Vial: sweet rain Wet: gently sweet, smells like fresh water lightly sweetened with white flowers. Drydown: Sweetness is light but the overall scent has average strength. A tiny bit salty. Very nice aquatic scent. After trying several similiar aquatic scents together (Lightning, Danube, and Tempest). I have found tempest to be the most gentle, sweetest and unassuming of the three. Hope this helps on your quest for the perfect aquatic scent! I actually prefer it to the others because I don't like anything overwhelming. Evoking Color Blue water

In Vial: Mostly Honey Wet: Still mostly honey. As it dries I am beginning to smell the coconut. Drydown: This is mostly all honey on me. The coconut has faded. I think I get a hint of fig or either the sandlewood in the background. It is hard to tell. I did not get any almond.

In Vial:Dark mint, I think it is the bergamot pulling it down. Wet: Sickly sweet. The mint is just a hint in the background. The other notes are so heavy that they keep the mint from being refreshing. Drydown: This smells like mint tea with too much sweetner and the hint of perfume. :

In Vial: Red Delicious Apple and something sour Wet: Straight apple. The sour note is getting stronger. Drydown:This is the same apple note from Ladon, which I really liked but was too sweet for me. This blend is not as sweet and has added tangy-ness. The sour note went away and morphed into a mild sweetness. This is a nice apple scent.

In Vial: chocolate cookies Wet: The currant causes a gingerbread scent. The other notes blend well, I can smell a hint here and there but nothing that stands out specific. Drydown:The currant is stronger with the orange giving a spicey cookie scent.

Since I do not use oils for utility purposes I will only be reviewing the scent. In Vial:lemon, pine, cinnamon Wet: All previous notes with the addition of olive oil and rosemary. Smells like a cooking blend. Drydown: Sweet lemon drop and cinnamon. I have never smelled this combination before. Interesting.

In Vial: strong green, earthy Wet: Stronger I can smell the lavender but no orchid. I am not sure what the other notes smell like. This slightly burns on my skin. Drydown: Not as strong. Kind of perfumey. Sweeter. No longer smells earthy or green. This has a very strong incensy scent..

In Vial: sugery mint with a hint of butter Wet: Sweet sugar mint with something I only know how to describe is that it smells slippery ( I know sounds nuts). This is very light, nothing overpowering here. Soft and cool. Drydown: Light, sugary, minty fresh. Still has the slippery smell. I think it is suppose to be the sugar note. I love mint so I really love this blend. Recommended for any mint lovers. The world can never have too much MINT! I actually layered this with snow white and I love the hint of mint. This Lick it does not have the vanilla note that the 'one more time' has. I would not say this has a vanilla note at all, just sugar and mint that is somehow slippery..

In Vial: Vanilla almond floral Wet: Mostly Vanilla with a hint of almond Drydown: I am now getting the coolness of the snow and wintry wind, with light florals in the background and the warmth of vanilla and almond. EDIT: I did not realize until almost 2 years later what an awful review I gave of this lovely scent. After trying it the first time, I sold the imp but kept craving the smell of it. So I bought another imp and have not been without several backup bottles since. It is my 'go to' scent. It is very difficult to describe because while it has floral they are so delicate your not thinking flowers you are thinking "beautiful" and even though I don't think there is vanilla in it, it does remind you of vanilla. It has a freshness about it that can only be experienced. I would have to say of all the bpal scents I have ever tried or owned, THIS is my all time favorite.

In Vial: strong green perfume Wet: Sweetening with something that smells like bubblegum or candy Drydown: Well it has changed quite a bit since first sniff. It now smells like strong lemon candy. If it changes again I will update.

In Vial:Cinnamon and wax Wet: Smells like a strong cinnamon candle not lit. Drydown: This smells exactly like a cinnamon stick. Very realistic. This will be good for layering.

In Vial:Smells like pear and spice Wet:Pear and honeydew melon but grounded by a spicey scent Drydown:Light, spicey pear This is the wonderful pear scent that I had hoped for in the oils containing pear notes. Oddly this one contains no pear.

In Vial: butterscotch and flowers Wet: Stronger butterscotch with a hint of musk and florals Drydown:Doesn’t last long. Very light musk and florall

In Vial: sweet and tangy Wet:Nice, smells like a pretty, not-so-average floral. This is only my second dragon's blood scent to try. I think it is an unusual scent. It is very different and adds a hint of the exotic to whatever is it blended. Drydown: Nice, sweet, tangy. Remains pretty much the same as when wet, but more mellow.

In Vial:nice soft fruity blend. i smell the peach Wet: notes are clearer now, more distinct. I smell the amber, peach, the florals are soft. The vertiver is nice in this, not too strong. Drydown: The amber is in the background as a base for the florals. They blend beautifully. I still smell the peach but it is not strong. This is a nice warm fruit floral..

IN Vial: smells like a nice smooth mellow mens cologne Wet: Very nice. Smells woodsy with a touch of non-citrus fruit to give a hint of sweetness. Lovely. Drydown: I believe I smell a bit of pumpkin. This is only a tiny bit spicy. It is very nice and mellow. It started out more on the masculine side but has morphed into something really neutral. I"m just sad it is not available anymore.

In Vial: strong perfumey floral Wet: Blended florals Drydown: The sweet pea is the strongest with the other notes playing in the background. Great floral if your a fan of sweet pea.

In Vial: green, fresh floral Wet: The bergamot is peaking out now. I smell flowers and something cold. There is not mint in this so I don't know what it could be. Drydown: All I smell is rose, but since I don't like rose that maybe why. It is a fragrance I just cannot get past the rose.

In Vial:tangy and sweet Wet: Still tangy and sweet with a lovely scent of green, fresh cut grass. As it is drying, the tanginess is starting to mellow a bit. It is morphing into something wonderful that I don't smell everyday! We'll see. Drydown:This is the most wonderful scent. I looked up the notes I am not familiar with. The Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit that is suppose to be very sour. Kaki is a Japanese persimmon. Mikan is a citrus fruit in the orange family. This blend smells floral and fruity but not like any flora/fruity scent I have ever smelled before. I wish I could describe it better. It smells a bit like sugar sweet honeydew melon, but even that does not do it justice. You will have to try this one. It's Amazing!!

In Vial: almond oil and cinnamon Wet: Strong almond oil as its drying the cinnamon is getting stronger. I can feel it in the back of my throat when I sniff my arm. Smelling like Big Red gum. Drydown: Becomes a light but pure cinnamon note. I can see these as being good to layer with other oils you want to add cinnamon/spice to.

In Vial: medicinal Wet: I smell the lavender, orange, bergamot, verbena and thyme. It's partly sweet and partly medicinal. Drydown: Faint smell of the orange and bergamot. Has a creamy scent.
