I think this is my new favorite scent. On me it smells exactly as it does in the bottle - lots of clean ginger & a light, crisp floral background. It reminds me A LOT of Clinique 'Happy' which I have always loved. I've already ordered a 5ml!

This smells very "classic perfume" to me. It's a beautiful, fancy sort of smell, but I think it's a little too um...hm. Grownup, maybe? for my taste. If I ever wanted to wear something really sophisticated, I'd reach for this.

Eos This has all of my favorite notes in it and I had high expectations for it. I loooooooooove jasmine and honeysuckle is my favorite scent of all time. In the bottle it smells extremely floral-perfumey. On my skin, it is strongly floral at first, then settles down into a muted, generic floral perfume smell. It also faded from my skin fairly quickly, but this is not unusual for me. It's just okay. I chose a lot of florals for my first order and against them this one is nice, but it simply does not stand out. I'll use the imp up but I don't really see a big bottle in my future.

White Rabbit I highly anticipated this scent; I love clean linen scents, and I love tea scents. Unfortunately this smelled like neither! In the bottle it smells...almost indescribable, but definitely not like the lab's description. Sort of murkily fruity and medicinal, really weird. On me it smelled of rank, rotting fruit. I have no idea what caused this! I tried it a couple of days later on fresh skin and yeah, still decaying fruit. On my boyfriend it doesn't smell terrible, like it does on me, but it's pretty unremarkable, with no hint of linens or tea. I don't think I care to hang on to this.

Obatala This is THE perfect coconut scent, I think. In the imp it smelled soooo buttery, which scared me. I HATE foody scents for the most part. One my skin the buttery coconut mellowed out a lot. As it dries it smells like ripe meaty coconut with a faintly musky undertone. It's rich but never goes sickly sweet, which was my main concern. Extremely summery and very wearable. This was a big winner for me, I will definitely be purchasing a large bottle of this.

Hellcat In the bottle this smells way more foody than I expected. Smells like cherry, almond, and something sweet, buttery and rich. I do not like foody scents so this is for me. On me it smells like buttery cinnamon almonds. I can see this working out really well for someone who likes sweet, foody scents but it is just not me. This is one of the few imps I received that I can't see myself hanging on to; wayyyyyy too sickly sticky sweet for my taste.

New Orleans Wow, this is SO SO floral!! I am a huge fan of florals but this is like floral with a capitol F. In the bottle it smells like a million flowers with a perfumey undertone. Freshly applied it SCREAMS sweet flowery perfume. (I am still pretty new at this and have no idea how to pick out individual scents for the most part, especially when there are a bunch of flowers mixed together, so this is probably a more interesting mix than I am making it out to be but all I detect is like, HI FLOWERS!) Thankfully this dies down within ten minutes or so, and it fades to a jasminey floral. I definitely pick up on the 'decaying flowers' scent; the first time I tried it on I had to scrub it off because it smelled like rot, but the next few times I wore it I could only faintly smell it and did not find it unpleasant. It's very strong and if I apply too much I get a headache from it. Still, I do rather like it, and although I may not purchase a bigger bottle I will definitely (sparingly) use up the imp. I suggest this only for people who REALLY like floral scents. Like, a lot.

Lolita This is the scent that made me realize that I should read reviews of a scent before purchasing it. Because theoretically I love the smell of orange blossom, but This was straight CLOYING CANDY on me. Like candy + baby aspirin. I smell...exactly like Sparks. If smelling like sharp orange candy from ten miles away is your thing you will love this. This could not be less "me" though, ugh. And it is POWERFUL. I scrubbed and scrubbed and couldn't get it all off. Tried it on my dude for kicks, since almost everything that has not agreed with my skin has been great on him, but it smelled possibly even sweeter and more gag-inducing on him. At least I learned a valuable lesson though! If I see candy mentioned in any reviews I will automatically assume it is not for me.

I'm starting to wonder if I received a mislabeled imp or something because on me and in the imp this smelled of nothing but sharp, bitter pine! ?? For the first half hour or so this is not unpleasant but it is very masculine; within an hour it turns so sharp that it gives me a headache. Unwearable for me; I will pass it on to my boyfriend I think.

I am not getting coffee from this, neither in the imp nor on my skin. In the imp it smells almost overpoweringly floral (I love love floral scents but it had me worried) and sweet. On my skin it smells like honeysuckle, rose and warm skin. There's something very 'delicious skin' about it, very natural. It's creamy and soft and warm and beautiful. I have actually not been able to review any of the other imps I've purchased since I tried this one out, because all I want to wear it this one. I think it may become my first 5ml bottle purchase and my signature scent. It lasts pretty well, too; I put it on around 6:30 this morning and I can still catch whiffs of it now, at 3:30 pm. Phenomenal for my skin which tends to devour scents. 5 out of 5, hands-down my favorite Lab scent I've tried so far.

In the bottle this smells woodsy and delicious - I mostly smell pine. One me it completely went south. It turned into a single note of piercing, bitter cranberry; there was no trace of pine to be found. I had to wash it off after a couple hours because it gave me a headache. However this smelled GREAT on my boyfriend! Piney without being artificial and a little smoky, really wonderful. I gave the imp to him.

Oh man this one is BEAUTIFUL. It did not change much on me. In the bottle it smells mostly of carnation. Wet on my skin, the same: carnation, a light pink feminine scent. After about half an hour it changed slightly and smelled a bit rosy? in addition to carnation...y. My only complaint is that this seemed to fade totally from my skin after about two hours. I also don't think you can smell it if you're very far away from my arm (that's throw, I'm assuming? if so, I'm not getting the powerful throw others described).

(This is my first review, so I'm afraid my descriptions will be imprecise as far as particular notes go or what have you.) In the bottle this smells SO good. Fresh and green and a little salty and amazing. On my skin, it turns HORRIBLE. Doesn't even REMOTELY resemble its bottled form. It smells exactly like bathroom spray. Visions of toilet paper rolls dance in my head. Thankfully, it completely fades within an hour.
