This is a potent scent. Very minty, with a touch of Vick's Vapor Rub and a dusty touch. Not something I'd ever wear. Rating - 1 out of 5.

This is a very, very light scent. After about an hour this is minty rose. It's an okay scent, but nothing I'd ever reach for. Rating 2 out of 5.

I'm surprised there's not much love going around for this blend. The pollen and tonka create a really smooth, creamy blend that's bright and fresh. The honey stays in the background adding a touch of depth, but never overwhelms the other notes. Smells like being in a garden, I love it and need a bottle ASAP. Rating 4.5 out of 5.

On me the fruits really pop in this blend. The most dominant note would be the mandarin, followed by the watermelon and strawberry. It makes for a nice, bright blend that is fresh and perfect for summer. I can see myself reaching for this one quite a bit. Rating 4 out of 5.

The strawberry in this blend isn't a true strawberry, it's more of a candy, super sweet take on the fruit. The champagne makes this bright and light, but mixes to come out smelling a bit like a wine cooler. I'll keep the imp, but pass on a bottle.

This is heavy on the sandalwood to the point it almost drowns out the other notes. I'm not too fond of sandalwood or patchouli so I'm not a fan of this blend. This imp will go in my swap pile.

I received this as a frimp from the lab. It's not something I would have ever picked out on my own, several of the notes don't usually agree with my skin chemistry, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Wine, patchouli, jasmine and rose are all notes that I'm not a fan of. At first I was surprised. This was a dark, rich scent that was well blended. Once it dried however it turned into this sour, dirty smelling blend where the patchouli and jasmine relentlessly assaulted my nose. Not for me!

When I first put this on it's really terrible. It's bitter, spicy and woodsy all at the same time. After about an hour it really morphs! The vanilla comes out to play and there is just a hint of violet which smells lovely. There's this odd bitter note that keeps popping in every now and again, but after I got past the initial application I really enjoyed this one. I'll keep the imp to retest, but at this point I'll pass on a bottle. ETA: I retested this and I'm in love! Letting the imp settle for a bit really helped out. It's now a rich, deep vanilla with violet that's tempered by a wood scent. I only got one bottle and now I'm worried that won't be enough!

The black licorice and vetiver take everything over. I'm left with a smoky licorice scent that just doesn't do anything for me. Glad I didn't spring for a bottle of this one.

Light, aquatic, citrus. Not for me.

This would be beautiful if the cedar didn't ruin it. The vanilla, carnation and musk are stunning and then cedar comes in and tramps all over everything. Crap.

I'm not really sure what to say about this oil. It's a bit bland, with a hint of rose. After reading all of the notes I thought this would be interesting and had potential for greatness, I was wrong. All I get is a generic, watery smelling floral. I'll pass on this one. Score (1-5) - 2

Sweet, musky pine. This is a nice blend, but a tiny bit too much pine for my tastes. I wish the vanilla would come out a bit more, that would make this scent drool worthy. I'll keep my imp, but won't need a bottle. Score (1 to 5) - 3

This started out as a light, bright, sweet honey. Then something terrible happened and it turned musty. Almost like erasers (like the ones on the back of #2 pencils). This had so much potential that I've got to test it again to make sure today isn't an off day for my skin chemistry. I'd hate to swap it away only to realize that it's perfect for me. Guh. I'm so indecisive.

This is one of the blends that literally made me feel ill. I had to wash it off - epic stink. Rating (1-5) -1

Sweet bubble gum with a hint of cinnamon, maybe? It's quite nice, but too sweet for my liking. Probably not something I'd reach for often. Rating (1-5) - 3

Putrid lemony jasmine. YUCK! Rating (1-5) - 1

A wonderfully warm, spicy gingerbread scent. It's a bit buttery without being overly foody. Smells like Christmas. This is a keeper, I'll use up the imp and the decided it I wear it enough to merit a bottle. Rating (1-5) - 4

Rosemary, pine and a bit of lemon. I'm not sure why, but this kind of reminds me of camping. The pine is fresh and bright with a hint of citrus from the lemon. Not my kind of blend. Rating (1-5) 1.2

Sharp pine, very herbal, with a menthol kick. If you can get past that there's a touch of something sweet but it's quite faint. Interesting scent, not something I'd want to smell like. Rating (1-5) - 2

This blend is primarily sandalwood with the slightest hint of dragon's blood. The sandalwood is a bit musky and bitter. Not a scent I'd reach for again. Rating (1-5) - 1.3 Swaps.

This would be a perfect scent for a hot day. Very light, crisp and a bit tart. The ginger adds just enough kick to keep this one interesting. I'll use up the imp and decide wether or not I wear it enough to get a bottle once it's finished off. Rating (1-5) - 3.8

Rose ruins everything. After about 10 mintues this turned into a sharp, bitter rose that was almost a bit sour smelling. Yuck. Rating (1-5) - 1

At first I get a lot of wine, honey and flowers, in that order. This blend is very rich and thick, it's almost too heavy for me. After a little while, the wine note dies down and I'm left with a floral honey scent. It fades pretty quickly and keeps close to the skin. I like the scent and will use my imp, but won't need a bottle. Overall score (1-5) - solid 3

When first applied this is a sweet, rich cherry blend. After about 15 minutes the cherry starts to fade while the anise starts becoming more dominant. For whatever reason, when I sniff my wrist I get a definite wood/pine note. Strange, I know. But, when I catch whiffs of this as I move it's mostly a vibrant anise scent with the cherry adding a touch of syrupy sweetness. This is an interesting blend, but since I don't care for anise, it's not one I'd ever reach for. Score from 1-5 (5 being the best) - 1.9
