I got frimped with this in my last order and was almost terrified to try it. It smells like awful perfumed soap in the vial to me, and I figured it had to be something floral. I looked up the description, and decided to give it a try despite first impresssions. When I first put it on, it was lovely sugary mint, then something kinda musky and skin scented came out, if that makes any sense. Now it's a very, very subtle minty skin. I wish the strong mint sugar smell had stuck around, but still this is way better than I thought it would be and I'm definitely glad I got an imp.

This is only the second Snake Oil scent I've tried apart from the original, but it's my favorite so far! The loveliness of snake oil, only more grounded somehow. The earthy almond smell is dominant when wet, then the SO peeks it's head out on the drydown. It's a gorgeous blend, sweet without being foody and earthy without being dirty. Super wear time.

This is one of my favorite foody scents! I was lucky enough to snag a bottle here on the forum and I love it! I was a little worried at first because the fruit notes have a rubbing alcohol tinge to them in the bottle, but it disappears after applying and turns into a lovely strawberry vanilla scent. It has a fairly subtle throw but the scent lasts for a pretty long time.

Ummm... why do I get licorice out of this? I didn't even notice it till the second time I tried this one, but I'm afraid the tiny whiff of Kabuki I caught while wearing this has sent this one to the swaps pile. The tiny hint of anise in it probably wouldn't have bothered me if it weren't for Kabuki. I love black licorice. But I think it's going to be a very long time before I can eat it again after wearing Kabuki. I never thought I would dislike a DB scent... they are all so lovely! Alas, if it weren't for the anise that no one else seems to have noticed, I would have loved this one.

Hmm.. I wasn't expecting this to smell anything like it does but it's lovely. There's a twinge of honey I suppose, but I don't get anything herbal out of it. It actually reminded me a lot of strawberries. I like.

This is an oh.em.gee. to die for scent in the imp. I get fruitiness out of it somehow... cherries. Like the bright red, sweet cherries in the Red Queen, not the dark cinnamon cherries of DB. Cherries and sweet musk and sweetness and goodness and oh my... And it stays that way for all of about 5 minutes after I put it on before something goes terribly, horribly wrong and it becomes a sickly bitter, soapy... awful smell. Just bad. I don't think I've ever been this disappointed in a BPAL scent.

I really can't quite pick out very many of the notes as I'm not familiar with many of them, but this strikes me overall as very herbal, to the point of being headache inducing. I really can't come up with much else to say about it.

Just got this as a frimp... This is a sharp, soapy, heavy floral scent and it hates me.

I don't know why, but this just is... okay. I wanted a dark, twisted scent like Perversion in this and I was a bit disappointed. It's a nice scent, but not as dark as promised. It smells like... I guess that's clove in the imp. I don't know. I've encountered all these other notes before and like them, but something in here is wrong. After I put it on, that wrongness calms down and becomes manageable... and then the florals appear. I hate florals. These are somewhat tolerable, and over all it's a nice scent, but it has some weird phases before it gets to a point that I like. I might try this a few more times, as I'm a bit confounded as to why it changes so much.

I heart blood. I don't think a dragon's blood scent could possibly be wrong, and this one is one of the best I have tried. The rich cherry cinnamon DB scent ir right up front, but underneath it is... more goodness. Deep spicy patchouli, and something that reminds me of Perversion. Leather? Or maybe some other spice? I don't know, but it is wonderful. Deep, spicy, sexy.

Oh man, I've never posted a review of this? I was leery of buying this since I have a very picky nose and there were no individual notes listed. I really have no direction to go on to describe what I first smelled. Incense, of some dark and overwhelmingly heady sort. Patchouli, and maybe myrrh. This and Hellcat are the only two scents that have ever done this to me, but they were both so overwhelmingly incensy that I couldn't wear them. At all. So I threw it aside for a few months, and then tried it again. By this time, it smelled wonderful in the imp!! Cherry almond goodness. It was beautiful. But it all but disappeared on the drydown. I couldn't find it on my skin 2 hours after applying. I was a sad Sky.

Ahhh!! My first real fruity scent. I was a huge fan of fruity and other foody stuff before joining BPAL, and then I discovered how wide the olfactory world was and have since been favoring scents containing blood, leather, musk, and other darker things that just feel more sophisticated to me. SO anyways... I ran across the description of imp somewhere and decided to give it a try. I do love fruity scents and have been estranged for a while. And the verdict is... this is SOOO worth a bottle. I am so glad I decided to grab a few fruity scents. This is deep and sophisticated like all the other scents I've been coveting, but with sparkling white peach right in front of it all. I'm in love. I love it. Did I say this is wonderful?? It also has a beautiful drydown, where something almost tonka pokes it head in for a while, and has great wear time and pretty decent throw. I love it. Sorry for rambling.

The first time I tried this, for some reason, it was nothing but overwhelming asthma attack head shop in a bottle incense. It actually bugged my nonexistent allergies. Weird. So I threw it aside for a month or two and tried it again, and I could actually smell what it was supposed to smell like. It's lovely! It's a tad bit boozy, but it's definitely sweet butter rum and not any kind of bitter alcohol scent. It's very sweet but not overwhelmingly so. I get just a hint of incense now, which makes a nice deep, dark base for all the sweeter scents in this blend. I love it! Just have to remember to store any future hallcats for several months before applying.

I'm very envious of the other reviews here because this sounds like a wonderful scent for other people. I just got this as a frimp, and was excited to try it after I read the review of it, but bug repellent seems to sum it up pretty well.

This is one of the scents that reminded me (quite painfully) that I can't wear florals. This was all soapy bad perfume on me.
