I'm not great at picking out individual scents yet...but before I read the description my first reactions to Perversion were "What amazing and weird fruit is this?" Now that I've read what's in this I am just amazed at Beth's skill. This smells exactly like it's ingedients....a little leather...a little smoke...a little wine...and the sweetness of tonka to round it out. It's wonderful. I never would have imagined those scents to combine to make something so unique and yummy. I'm very glad that a friend sent this to me.

I wanted to love this one...spicy honeyed almonds sounds right up my alley...but sadly it wasn't meant to be. When I opened the imp I was hit with the smell of pickles. I stuck it out though an applied it to both wrists... ...hours later...still pickles....and it's strong enough that I had to go wash it off. I never got the sweetness out of this that I had heard about. I think it was the spices that made me think of pickles...or it could just be my general hatred of saffron which always smells and tastes like a basement to me....but I had to swap this little fella.

In the bottle - minty like halls....with something a little sweet in there too - not unlike cherry halls. My first instinct is not to put this on me - in fact I just want to close the bottle. On/wet: less minty...more fruity...is that what juniper smells like? I'm not sure I like it. Now it's making the inside of my elbow tingly...that's weird. On/dry: the two sides of this (minty/cherry-sweet) both mellow and mingle more evenly. I don't think this is something I would wear often, but I can imagine it would be nice on a hot day....if it ever gets hot here in Seattle. Maybe I'll use it when I fly back to Delaware this summer.

I received this one a few days ago and my first sniffs were primarily coffee with a little floral in the background. Today I sniffed it again, and it seems more floral - more jasmine, but the scary thing is when I snif the little stick part of the imp it smells just like my cat's litter. Trying to ignore the litter smell - I applied some. On me it's straight jasmine with something sharper trying to poke through. The coffee is totally gone, which is a shame because I really liked it. Drydown - very dry floral notes. This smells like something my mom would love. I like florals more like Eternal, that are all wet and sappy and sweet. I'll give this one another shot though.

Gorgeous! I didn't think that I'd like florals - but this has changed my mind. It's so sweet I almost want to eat it. If someone could make a flower milkshake that got you really drunk it would smell like this. Don't get me wrong though, there's no alcohol smell here, it's just intoxicating. The only downside (for me) is that I have to reapply ever few hours to keep the heady scent.
