The description for this scent is dead on. A wonderful, true lily with a element of sweet honey that warms the blend up. This is a really gorgeous sent and I'm glad I got a bottle before it was discontinued.

I think something may be wrong with my skin chemistry lately. Maybe it's the change in my eating habits or the new exercise routine, but damn, rose scents are actually working on me. This is a very subdued rose which is balanced out nicely by the wood and green notes. It's light, pretty, and lasts for quite awhile. Not a super strong throw, which is nice because I'm one of those people who doesn't want people to smell my perfume (unless you're right next to me). I'll keep this imp around. I don't think I'll spring for a bottle, but I may use up the imp if my skin chemistry doesn't go back to turing rose into a note of doom.

This is a very masculine blend. The musk is strong and overwhelming and something is making this blend sharp, I personally suspect the fir. It's got a biting quality that almost stings my nose (strange, but surprisingly true). It's safe to say I'm not a fan. At all.

I was hoping for more complexity from this blend. On me it's almost all cinnamon and red musk with a bit of sweetness in the background. It's super strong and lasts for hours without much morphing. This isn't a blend I'd ever reach for again.

It starts off as a citrus blend but after a while it eases into this really pretty stage where the floral elements and copal make more of an appearance. It's a nice blend, on that merits an all day test. For now I'll keep the imp and see if this one continues to play nice with my skin chemistry.

I'm getting a strong rose scent from this blend, but no musk or spices. Usually rose is terrible on me, but this isn't too bad. I wish I got more of the other elements, but it just isn't meant to be. I'll end up passing this imp along, it's not my type of scent.

This is mostly violet on my skin. Slightly floral, not super strong, but it lasts for quite awhile. I was hoping for more lilac, but it just wasn't meant to be. This is nice in a generic perfume sort of way. Not something I'd go for often, but it isn't terrible either.

Prior to the price increase I made an impulse order, this was one of the bottles that I decided to pick up unsniffed and I'm so glad I did. This is a very creamy blend, everything combines seamlessly so there isn't one note dominating the scent. I can pick out the musks, sandalwood and maybe a hint of jasmine, but that's only if I'm really sniffing. This is definitely a pretty, feminine blend. This is a blend I can see myself reaching for often.

I hate rose. Absolutely hate it with a passion. I didn't look at the notes before applying this blend and maybe my chemistry is off, but I wouldn't have picked rose as one of the notes. I feel a bit silly admitting that since usually I'm pretty good at identifying notes, but this was primarily green on my skin. Green with a touch of floral. Maybe it's because this imp is super old, who knows. It's okay, not something I'd reach for often so I think it'll go to my swap pile.

Super fizzy with tart cranberry and citrus. Starts off really strong, fades after a few hours but still lots of throw. This is a fun, happy scent. I like it enough to keep the imp, but I'll pass on a bottle.

Plum, berries and roses in that order. I'm not a huge rose fan, but the roses in this blend are actually behaving for a change. It's fruity and sweet without being overwhelming. Interesting blend, but not one I'll keep.

So far this is my favorite Peach BPAL blend. It starts off pretty sickly sweet but quickly fades. I don't get much else out of this blend, but I suspect the amber is playing a role in making sure this doesn't become cloying. I'll probably keep the imp but pass on a bottle.

The jasmine in this ruins everything. Totally sour and a bit gross on my skin.

This starts off as a strong violet with undertones of maple syrup. WTF? The violet is sickly sweet for the first few hours. After a while it calms down and turns into a beautiful floral, but the first stages aren't doing it for me. I'll pass on this one.

Starts out heavy on the jasmine with a touch of dragons blood and maybe some sort of musk. Dries down to a musky scent. I'm not a fan of how this blend starts out, but once it dries down it isn't bad. Definitely not bottle worthy and I don't think I'll be keeping the imp around, either.

Light, bright, green florals. This is a nice blend that reminds me of spring. It starts out pretty strong but quickly fades and stays close to the skin. As it fades the florals fade and the pear becomes more prominent. I think I'll keep the imp, but won't be springing for a bottle.

This is definitely smoky. It's more of a spicy smoke with just a hint of something sweet. I caught a hint of bubblegum here, but it's not very prominent. Really a nice scent with some interesting elements. This doesn't last for more than a couple of hours on my skin, but that's the only downside here.

I thought I'd hate this one, but it's not that bad. Starts off pretty potent with lots of patchouli and frankincense. Thankfully it dries down to add more cocoa and oakmoss. I think I must amp oakmoss because a few hours in that's the dominant note. It's a tad masculine for my tastes, but the sweet cocoa note helps with that. Even though, I think I'll pass on a bottle.

Really citrus smelling with a hint of florals. Fades away pretty quick so I didn't get much other than the orange and flowers. Not for me.

I'm not sure what it is with peach blends, but either they make a blend smell incredible, or I end up disliking the scent and washing it off. Unveiled doesn't really fall into either category. It starts off strong peach, but then quickly fades. Nothing in this blend is really popping out here. The notes are well mixed and in the end leave me with a pretty scent, but nothing incredible. I really wanted this to work well for me, but it's just okay.

When first applied this is potent. It starts off as a strong combination of honey and black pepper in equal doses. I was afraid it was going to stay in that state, but after about 10 minutes it calms down considerably. After drying down the rice flower and oakmoss begin to come out and the black pepper fades into nothing. In the end I'm left with a honey, rice flower and oakmoss combination that sticks close to the skin. Not a lot of throw, but a decent amount of staying power. I like it enough to keep the imp, but I'll have to give it a few full wears before I go after a bottle.

This is a very light, sweet, powdery scent. I thought this would be incredible but instead it's almost sickly sweet. Not for me, off to swaps.

I hate cedar blends. Whenever I wear a blend with this note I end up smelling like a hamster cage. I didn't want to try this blend but I was feeling adventurous. So this is actually pretty nice. Starts off a bit tart, but it dries down to a lovely blend that is primarily current and saffron. I'll test this a few more times to make sure the cedar doesn't show up. I'm definitely keeping the imp.

Not much to add here. This is fresh snake oil and honey. Fresh snake oil goes a bit powdery on me and this stays pretty true to that. Aged snake oil is wonderful so I think I'll buy a bottle of this and tuck it away for a bit.

The florals really are dominant here. I'm not getting any of the other notes. I was really excited for this one, but from beginning to end this is pretty 'meh'.
