Bottle (Imp): Bubblegum-y flowers. Just On: Really juicy bubblegum-y flowers. An hour or two later: Much less bubble gum, much more flowers now. Around 6 hours: Barely there flower. 12 hours: A touch of soap, mostly my skin. Overall: I *love* the bubble gum part of this. The rest is kinda meh, but the bubble gum is great. After reading other reviews: I get massive bubblegum, apparently more than others. I like that. It doesn't dry down to be as watery as I might have thought, but I do like the dry down well enough.

Bottle (Imp): This smells of faintly sweet fresh flowers. Just On: Flowers. What a terribly surprising thing, yes? An hour or two later: Hmm, almost like a touch of spice on the flower scent. Around 6 hours: Quite faint now, still some flower, no soap. 12 hours: It's barely there, but it's flower. Overall: Not too bad, especially since I didn't turn this to soap. After reading other reviews: I didn't get quite as much sweet as everyone else seemed to, but I do like it.

Bottle (Imp): It smells faintly like coconut milk. Just On: I can detect a coconut milk scent, but it's very light. An hour or two later: Well, there is a hint of plastic here. Around 6 hours: Little tiny bit plastic, coconut milk. 12 hours: It's gone now. Overall: It's nice, but my skin doing it's usual trick of plastic with a few scents sucketh. After reading other reviews: I didn't get very strong scent out of this as some did. It's nice nonetheless.

Bottle (Imp): Well, huge shock though this may be, this smells like peppermint. Just On: Winterfresh gum. I love this scent. An hour or two later: Oh yes, this smells much like peppermint. I bet that surprises you enormously. Around 6 hours: Light peppermint candies. 12 hours: Barely there peppermint whiff. Overall: Absolutely wonderful peppermint. Completely true, and just lovely. Gives my skin a bit of a tingle, in a good way. After reading other reviews: Wow, I can't believe more folks haven't reviewed this. It's peppermint, through and through, and achingly lovely.

Bottle (Imp): Mmmm yummy sweet pomegranite. These are amazing. Just On: Oooh yes, sweet pomegranite yumminess. An hour or two later: Sweet pomegranite, but a hint of plastic under it. Stupid skin. Around 6 hours: Plastic fruit. 12 hours: Still kinda plastic. <sigh> Overall: The potential was great, but the skin turning it to plastic sorta ruined that. After reading other reviews: I thought this was very true to the fruit itself. I like the scent, but as I said, my skin ruins it.
-
Bottle (Imp): Smooth, and airy. Just On: Fresh and airy, with a bit of flowers. An hour or two later: The scent of flowers floating on a light breeze. Around 6 hours: Faint flower scent on a really light breeze. 12 hours: It went bye-bye. Overall: I like it, and I think it fits. I dunno if The Mate would wear it (being a Libra, I think he's give it a fair shot though). After reading other reviews: I didn't get apple, and this certainly is a musk that works on me. All in all, I like it.
-
Bottle (Imp): This smells smooth, chilly, and the tiniest bit sweet. Just On: The sweet fades away, leaving the smooth coldness. An hour or two later: Hmmm, it's still chilly, but there's something else there now. I can't quite figure out what it is though. Around 6 hours: Hmmm, a bit of breeze, a chilly breeze. 12 hours: It's pretty well gone. Overall: Very cold, like the flagpole on a winter day, and a bit of breeze. Quite an interesting scent, and very fitting. After reading other reviews: I get the cold metallic, but no wood at all.
-
Bottle (Imp): Hmmm, I can't identify what's in this. Just On: A touch gritty. Very red. An hour or two later: Quite a vivid red scent. Not so much gritty anymore. Around 6 hours: A dry, hot red scent. 12 hours: Scorching red scent, albeit very faded. Overall: While this is certainly a red scent, and very powerful, I can't really pick out what is in it. I suspect that's because it's so well blended that I can't pick out certain notes, especially since my nose is pretty untrained. After reading other reviews: I really didn't get any of the notes mentioned, though they could easily have combined to make this scent. Truly awesome.
-
Bottle (Imp): Possibly minty, a little sweet. Just On: Sweet mint scent. It's gorgeous. An hour or two later: Fading fast, a bit sweet, a bit minty. Around 6 hours: The hints of mint and sweet, faded an awful lot. 12 hours: It's alllllll gone. Overall: This is a beautiful scent. I'd love to buy more of this one, so it hits the big bottle list, for that day I can buy all I want. After reading other reviews: Well I'll be damned. Licorice (anise)? Lemon? Not any of those on my skin, except maybe as a component of the sweetness.
-
Bottle (Imp): Golden warmth. Just On: Musky goldenness. An hour or two later: Mmm amber. Around 6 hours: A lovely light amber scent. 12 hours: Still hints of amber. Overall: This dries down to a fabulous amber scent. After reading other reviews: Hmm, the little bit of musky must have been the patchouli. Other than that, I didn't smell it at all. I didn't get any wood either really, this was pretty much all amber.
-
Bottle (Imp): Fresh green herbs. Just On: Ahh yes, herbs, nice and fresh. An hour or two later: A little bit flowery (some soapiness, not much) and herby. Around 6 hours: More herbs now. 12 hours: A bit of herbs, mostly gone. Overall: I rather like this one. After reading other reviews: I didn't get flowers (much, although a hint in the soap maybe), creamyness, or wood of any kind. I imagine this is likely very like the scent of wolsbane itself.
-
Bottle (Imp): Fresh breezes with a hint of sweetness. Just On: Oh yeah, a really fresh breeze with some sweetness on it, like fruits in an orchard wafting along on a soft summer breeze. An hour or two later: A fresh breeze floating through the air. Around 6 hours: It's fading fast, but it's still the same lovely breezy scent. 12 hours: A bare whiff of a fresh breeze is all that's left. Overall: I like this one. After reading other reviews: I can't add much. Even reading notes from others don't bring to mind any of them, it was just a breezy fresh scent to my nose.
-
Bottle (Imp): This smells rather happy and bubbly. Perhaps some fruit? Just On: Hmmm, there seems to be a bit of a sour note in there, that my skin doesn't like. I'll have to see how this dries down. An hour or two later: Okay, it's not sour now, just kind of smooth and a little effervescent. Around 6 hours: I can't figure out anything in this, but it's not too bed. 12 hours: It's pretty well faded now, and I never did figure out what's in it. Very well blended. Overall: It's okay, but not one I'd reach for often. After reading other reviews: Gosh, I never got apple, rose, or lemon... They are either so well blended I can't pick them out, or they morphed too much for my poor little nose to figure out. Either way, I'm pretty neutral about this one.
-
Bottle (Imp): Dragon's blood with something sharp to it. Just On: More dragon's blood, and less sharp. An hour or two later: A very nice calm dragon's blood with my skin. Quite animalistic without smelling like dirty animals, as most musks would do. Around 6 hours: A soft animal. 12 hours: All I smell is me now, so it is gone. Overall: This is a good sceent. I like it. I don't know if I like it enough for a bottle, but I'm glad I got to try it. After reading other reviews: The flowers must have been the initial sharp, but it was good after that. No soap from flowers... that's a good thing.
-
Bottle (Imp): Oooooh, wood. Just On: Tree bark wood, not just the smell of wood. Rough cut, not cleaned up lumber. An hour or two later: MMm, incensy woodsiness. I like. Around 6 hours: Smoke and wood. 12 hours: Smoke and wood. Very faded, but still there. Overall: This is yummy. I'd buy more of it. After reading other reviews: I guess I can't add much to what others have said.
-
Bottle (Imp): Dark, sinister, deep. Just On: Mmm, resin, with nice depth. An hour or two later: Ahh, this is nice deep patchouli scented resin. Around 6 hours: Patchouli. 12 hours: Patchouli, but much lighter. Not strong at this point. Overall: I rather like it. After reading other reviews: Goodness, the cinnamon didn't come out on me at all, but I guess that's okay. I still liked it, and can see wearing it regularly.
-
Bottle (Imp): Mmmm, sweet citrusness. Just On: Oooh, sweet and tart citrus. An hour or two later: Oh, beautiful sweet scent, you have stolen my heart. Around 6 hours: Ohmy, a soap scent? 12 hours: It's all gone now. Overall: It was great, until it hit the soap thing. Stupid skin. I wanna cry, because I was LOVING this. After reading other reviews: I see where the sweet and tart came from, and this could be come a favored room scent.
-
Bottle (Imp): Hmmm, a little tiny bit sweet; some flowers, and some spices. Just On: Spicy flowers with a bit of sweet. An hour or two later: Sweet flowers with a hint of spice. Around 6 hours: Morphs into a sweet flower scent. 12 hours: Mmm, still sweet spicy flowers left. Overall: This is damned decent. I'd love to wear it just for the name alone. After reading other reviews: No soap! Yay, flowers, but no soap! Nothing that I'm gonna go ga-ga for in a big way, but it's nice.
-
Bottle (Imp): This is smooth. Just On: Smooth, and some flowers? This may sound odd, but I get a visual of green, with orange tickling the edges. An hour or two later: Hmm, flowers. Around 6 hours: Soapy herbs? 12 hours: Pretty much gone. Overall: Stupid skin. It ruins a lot of great scents. After reading other reviews: The spices certainly didn't make a grand appearance on my skin. I would have loved to get connamon, might have saved this all around for me.
-
Bottle (Imp): Sweet, and something I'm not recognizing right off hand. Just On: Sweet and flowery. An hour or two later: Soap. My skin ruins so many pretty scents. Around 6 hours: Soap. 12 hours: Soap. Overall: If it weren't for my skin... Ah well, there are so many other beautiful scents I can wear. After reading other reviews: Again, roses don't work for me in this case.
-
Bottle (Imp): Hmm, a little sharp to my nose. Just On: Ouch, rather sharp really. We'll see how it settles down. An hour or two later: Hmm. Jasmine? Around 6 hours: Woodsy flowers. 12 hours: A faint sweet flowery scent. Overall: It's okay, but nothing grand on my skin. After reading other reviews: Well, it didn't go soapy, but it certainly wasn't anything for me to write home about.
-
Bottle (Imp): Smooth and spicy. Just On: Smooth, possibly cloves. An hour or two later: A bit of spicy clove. Around 6 hours: Spicy clove. 12 hours: It's pretty well faded to nothing now. Overall: Interesting. I like it. After reading other reviews: I almost wonder if I'm not smelling right, because this didn't smell of fig or orange at all to me. All I got were cloves, and perahps some other spice.
-
Bottle (Imp): Musky. Just On: Definitely musky. An hour or two later: Musky, animalistic (in the good way), primal. Around 6 hours: Fading down into a soft primal musk. 12 hours: Barest subtle bit of musk. Overall: I could live with this, but it doesn't hit the favorite list. After reading other reviews: I really didn't get the warmth out of this that it seems others did. It certainly never got sweet on my skin.
-
Bottle (Imp): OOH! Sweet! Just On: I am way loving the sweetness of this already. I can't figure out what it specifically is, but YUM. An hour or two later: Ooh, I can smell the apricot much more clearly now. This is gorgeous. Around 6 hours: Still apricot, apricot, apricot. I like. 12 hours: A bare whiff of apricot. Yum. Overall: Oh, this is going on the big bottle list. After reading other reviews: I didn't really get the clove out of this, but that's okay. The apricot is wonderful, and this goes to the big bottle list. This is almost the same as the apricot SN on my skin.
-
Bottle (Imp): Flowery and sweet. Just On: Sweet flowers. An hour or two later: Soap. Damned skin. Around 6 hours: Soap. 12 hours: Faint soap. Overall: Poo. Soap. After reading other reviews: I had hopes that the grape, peach and pear would be the dominant notes, but alas, my skin revved up the flowers to the point of soapy yuckiness. If you like pretty flowers with some sweetness, this IS an awesome scent.
