Coldfire

Imp: oooooo mama! dark apricot. faint whisps of the darkest patchouli ever Wet on Me: by allthe gods still that dark sweep apricot and that deep dark patchouli Drying Down: gloriously juicy apricot dripping over the dirtiest, darkest, most fabulously filthy patchouli. Dry: by all the gods this is earthy patchouli with the juiciest apricot dripping over it! SWOON!!!!

Imp: dark, red and foreboding Wet On Me: getting slight traces of the wine and sandalwood Drying Down: oh the rose is doing me a heckin pls to be stop amping on my skin and doing me an ewwwww Dry: Rose. drat that damn rose on my skin To the trade bag

Imp: getting the honeysuckle and opium Wet on Me: addicting opium with faint traces of honeysuckle Drying Down: mostly this pleasant sweet but not sugar-y sweet honeysuckle with opium weaving its magic Dry: This is nice. No vetivert pop ups!

Imp: i get the creamy sweet and ....carrot. Wet on Me: honey and squash with the carrot Drying Down: fain traces of the cream and squash and carrot. not getting any of the sweet fruits. Dry: this is so odd. it's carrot and squash. it's a veggie scent.

Imp: neroli and verbena Wet on Me: ahhhh touches of lavender, and verbena with rosemary waiting in the wings. Drying Down: lavender and rosemary and the neroli and verbena keep them from being too sharp. faint resin traces of the frankincense waft shyly all about. Dry: this all smooths out to this herbal floral resinous love.

Imp: heavy heavy dragon's blood and vetiver Wet on Me: still heavy dragon's blood and veitver. hoping that as it dries I get more than that Drying: getting the musk now and it's mingling with the dragon's blood and vetiver to become this heady cloud. really overwleming Dry: mostly the red musk and never got any patchouli. Which is weird because my skin loves patchouli. thank heavens the vetiver faded. Glad I got to try it, but it is not for me. Off to the trade pile!

... Yuzu, kaki, and mikan with cherry blossom and black tea. Imp: aquatic white flowers Wet on me: heady aquatic white flowers Drying Down: still heady flowers, less aquatic. Seems like the tea cut that out. Dry: this is pretty but too heady for me. Off to the Trade pile

Imp: GREEN! Wet on Me: Green. the scent of green grass and green leaves in the spring Drying Down: soap-y booze Dry: green soap. Interesting. Don't hate it. but probably trade it.

Imp: definitely getting deep green faint traces of fruit and something...."dark" Wet on Me: more dark fruits trying to get all heady on me but bumpin into that green Drying Down: soap. dark fruity green soap. Dry: kinda of a fruity soap. Think I'll put this one on the trade pile!

Imp: peach and wood and the osmanthus Wet on Me: more peach and osmanthus Drying Down: mostly sandalwood and light floral Dry: pale and faint. delicate sandalwood Pleasant but probably will trade the imp

Imp: musk and amber and almond Wet on Me: that cherry almond note with the amber hiding in the wings Drying Down: creamy now. less of that dratted almond note and more of the cardamom and saffron warming up the amber and musk Dry: creamy and sweet but not sugar sweet. like a chai sweet. the amber and musk keep it from going too sweet. just warm and sunny and creamy.

Imp: light, happy, clean, citrus-y with a powdery under note Wet on Me: clean. light white floral, bubbly sparkling happy citrus with no charpness Drying Down: the citrus is fading to a heady white floral. Kind of swirling under my nose remind me who is in control of my scent experience. Dry: this is a powder-y tropical floral scent. it kinda reminds me of that old old Avon scent White Hawaiian Ginger.

Imp: Apple with a slight touch of herb Wet on Me: sharp crisp apple. almost tart but not full tart Drying Down: okay less sharp apple and more opium and herb. almost spicy Dry: addicting apple and herb with opium. very pleasant

Imp: wood and green Wet on me: mostly the wood notes Drying Down: wood with faint traces of the chamomile Dry: This smells like my grandmother's armoire did when I was visiting her growing up. Love it~

Imp: bay and honey Wet on Me: mostly honey now Drying Down: honey. this smells like one of those sweet soaps you find in the hankerchief drawer in the attic of your great auntie's house. Dry: nice....sweet but not my bag of tea.

The spirit of temptation, the essence of lost innocence. Apple blossom, rose, ylang ylang and golden honey. Imp: ylang ylang and apple blossom Wet on Me: ooohhh apple now Drying Down: heck. rose is doing an appearance under my nose. this means all other notes are pushed to the rear never to be smelt again Dry: Rose? why you doing me a hate?

Imp: mmmmm juniper and patchouli to start Wet on Me: still juniper and patch and loving so far....I have hope Drying Down: okay getting the myrrh note now. has an old ancient forest type vibe. Dry: mostly myrrh now. all the lovely patch and juniper got scared and ran off.

Imp: dark red wine Wet on Me: dark red wine but more 'grape' than alcohol Drying Down: leather? not good leather but old dank worn hard and put away wet leather Dry: old sweaty salted wine spilled leather. It's something alrighty.

Imp: really dark heady old floral Wet on Me: powdery dark floral Drying Down: powdery and sweet from the sandalwood, musk and amber. the floral has faded a touch Dry: this is definitely giving me 'male' vibes. sweet but deep and woody/resin-y.

Imp: overly sweet cherry Wet on Me: Vicks 44 cherry. Drying Down: oooooo something went evil bug spray smelling. I'm getting a Raid note now Dry: nope. can't do it. Cherry Raid over honey. nooooooooooooooo

Imp: stright up red patchouli and vetiver Wet on Me: more patchouli than the vetiver. crossing fingers because vetiver does not do me a happy Drying Down: the patch is working hard to keep that vetiver at bay. Dry: yay!!!! Patchouli saves the day!!!!!

I can't believe it has taken me until NOW to test this imp! Imp: Cedar? why am I getting cedar Wet On Me: sharp, almost medicinal cedar Drying Down: finally getting some of the patchouli notes...but it smells like it's been wrapped in cedar....could that be the sandalwood and frankincense tag teaming? Dry: resin, incense, patchouli and the inside of a cedar chest. Not a bad thing, a comforting thing.

Imp: musk and sandalwood Wet on me: this is dark swirling headiness, all musk and incense Drying Down: rapidly turning into baby powder incense. i tend to turn amber notes into baby powder. Dry: the baby powder notes faded to a smooth incense scent.

Imp: light dusty musty floral like you would find at your Great Auntie's armoire Wet on Me: still a dusty musty floral Drying Down: okey dokey now. air freshener rose, lilac and bandaids. Dry: yeah. Rose and Lilac teamed up to become bullies on my skin.

Imp: okay. cake. sugary cake Wet on Me: cake cake cake. Cakeity cakes. I think I amp sugar scents. But we will find out! Drying Down: less cake. slight vanilla. no currents....yet Dry: vanilla cake. the currants finally came out of hiding but are only a shadow that adds a slight sharpness under the vanilla cake. I'm really not a foodie scent person. at least a baked goods foodie scent.
