Caerphilly

In the imp: Sweet with a soapy edge. Many flowers ...many many...a bouquet is right. I can't pick out one flower in this. Wet: It's sweet, but not overpowering or cloying. It's pretty. There is a soapiness to it, but it's not out completely. So far I like it. Dry: There's the soapiness, possibly gardenia. Add it was going so well! Overall: Very pretty floral...until the dry down. If anything has a tendency to turn soapy on you, don't try this. Otherwise, it's sweet and lovely.

In the bottle: Smells of old wood, and some sweetness. Delicate. Wet: The roses come out, but aren't powdery. The wood is still there. It's very green and light. Lighter than I was expecting it to be. Dry: I think I'd prefer this in a candle. It's sweet and too light. The wood is now gone and all I smell are flowers. Overall: It's pretty. Definite rose in it. But I don't know if I'd wear this on a regular basis.

In the bottle: Snow moon!!! Snow moon!! I want a bottle now!!! Wet: Ok...my inititial excitement has calmed down. I loooooovvveeee this. It smells exactly like Snow moon! A well rounded mix of florals, a bit of pine in there, and some coolness creating a snow effect. Dry: Just florals. And it has good throw. I'm going to push the Snow Moon thing one more time... Overall: I have to get another bottle before it's too late. This is just too pretty. And it lasts a long time! P.S. This is probably my worst review because I am too utterly excited. I apologize for that!!!

Foody. Sweet. Butter, and coconut, and a bit of mint, and honey, and vanilla.....and I could keep going. It smells delicious! I want to drink it! I don't link foody scents (with the exception of honey) so I almost didn't try this on. But I love this! I want to eat myself wearing this!

In the imp: Light and sweet. It's an aquatic sweet pea. Wet: All sweet pea. It's a bit too sweet for me. Dry: Definitely smell the waterlily now. The sweet pea is still there, but the sweetness becomes more gentile . Overall: It's Helena mixed with Ophelia. It's not a sweet as Ophelia, and it's not as delicate as Helena. But I would rather smell like Helena.

In the imp: Definitely sweet peach. I smell some green herb and white musk. Wet: Light and sweet. Smells like something from the land of faerie. It's pretty. Dry: All white musk. Nothing else. Overall: For how light it is, it has very good throw, and it lasts a long time. But I don't like musk so I'll finish the imp, but no bottle for me.

In the imp: Sweet and delicate. Wet: It's light. I get some fruit and florals. It's nice and girly. Dry: Gardenia. All gardenia. It's suddenly strong, soapy. When I put it on I had to dig my nose into my skin to smell it, but now, I can smell it all around me. It's bothering me. I have to wash it off. I don't like gardenia. Overall: I like it in the imp and I like it when I first put it on. But when it dries I can't do it anymore. It's a complete change...a completely different scent. And I don't like it.

In the imp: I get nothing but soil and flowers. I love lilac, but lilac oils smells very soily and strong and unpleasant to my nose. Not like the flower itself does at all. Wet: Still dirty and is giving me a headache. Very strong. Dry: Smells much more like lilac flower now, but it's still dirty to my nose. A bit like incense. I have to wash it off. Not only do I already have a headache, but it's making me dizzy. Overall: Not for me. It's the type of scent that even if someone else wore it, I wouldn't like it. It's to heavy and strong.

In the imp:I smell white tea, ginger, and lemongrass. Citrussy and clean. Wet: Very lemony. It doesn't smell like grapefruit to me, only lemon. And ginger. Very clean. Has a nice throw. Dry: Pretty much the same as in the imp. It's lovely, clean. Good summer scent. Overall: It's embalming fluid without the musk and it's Kumiho with staying power and better throw. I love it. I'd get a bigger bottle if it lasted longer.

A wonderful antidote to an all-nighter oozing with drunken, addled perversion and debauchery. A fresh, crisp white linen scent: perfectly clean, perfectly breezy. In the imp: I love this! I put this on after washing off Ophelia (a disaster) and this was the perfect antidote! It's very light, almost as if therfe was no scent at all. I smell the linen, and there is a bit of sweetness to it. It's lovely! Wet: More sweetness than the linens. It almost smells like White Rabbit without the honey. It's perfect for days when you want to wear perfume, but don't want it to bother you. Dry: Very light. Fading quickly. Although, I don't know if I got used to the almost lack of scent, or if it actually practically faded. Overall: Beautiful! I don't know if I'll get a bottle because I prefer scents with more throw, but I will use my imp definitely!

In the imp: Very, very sweet floral. Almost too sweet. But it has similar notes to Helena, so I tried it on. Wet: OH HOW SWEET!!! I had to wash it off. My boyfriend even said that the smell got in his eye and he had to leave the room. I asked what that meant, he explained it's like an onion, except in this it was the sweetness. It amped on me. I had to take another shower...after I had just taken one. Overall: Way too sweet. After my shower I could still smell it on me. My skin chemistry did not like this one!

In the imp: Smells like apple blossom, and it's throwing me off. Doesn't really smell like pear to me. Wet: All strong and sweet pear. Now I can tell it's not apple blossom. It's not as sweet as Eve. But it's too strong for me. Dry: Just sweet fruit. But about an hour later, maybe less, the fruit completely goes away, I forgot I was wearing a fruity scent. This is all lily of the valley and white musk, which make a lovely combination! Overall:This is overpoweringly sweet fruit turned lovely delicate floral. I felt calm after wearing this all day. It's lovely, but there is a wait for the loveliness. I'll just use my imp.

In the imp: Dirt with a bit if sweetness underneath. I don't like soil scents, but I'll give this a try. Wet: Soil and sweet. Dry: No soil to be found at all! Yay! It fades really quickly too! This seems like it's very complex, but it's not. I definitely smell the crisp fresh growing Magnolia and definitely smell the bourbon. That's about it. And I thought I wasn't going to like the alcohol in it. I like it because it doesn't actually smell like alcohol, but like bourbon would smell without the alcohol in it. Overall: This was a pleasant surprise. I like it! Sweet and floral. It has amazing throw, and it lasts long.

In the imp:Red apple, but with something dirty behind it. The opium? Wet: Sweet red apple. The other scents are already fading. Dry: Red apple, but this fades really quickly. Overall: This is the Hesperides but with green apple instead of golden apple. And this fades more quickly. If I should wear apple, I'd wear the Hesperides not this, as I am not a fan of apple smells.

In the imp: Soil. Some sweet candy in the background. Wet:Still soil, but there are obvious florals coming out. Roses definitely, maybe honeysuckle. It's a bit smoky, and as honeysuckle turns smoky and dirty on me, I assume it's honeysuckle. But this isn't dirty. It's smoke that's fading. Dry: The soil is barely there, but it is still lingering as the hours go by. The roses are predominant now. I still smell some sort of candy or sugar. Overall: I don't like it in the imp at all. Too much soil. But on me, it morphs quite a bit over the hours and I like it more and more as the hours go by. More floral than I was expecting.

In the imp:When I first smelled this, it reminded me of a Polish dish. Bigos anyone? I hate Bigos, it's meaty with cabbage, boiled. But there is a sweetness to it that is intriguing me, so I will try it on me. Wet: Damp leather. Different from the imp. But it's still gross. Dry: Rotting leather. What's with scents and me! Overall: Not for me. Just not right for my skin chemistry.

In the imp:Sweet dirt. Wet: Dirt. As in, soil. Dirty soil. Sweet dirty soil. There sweetness is very foody. Mimosa, maybe? Dry:Still soil. But the rose and chrysanthemum come out a bit. They make the sweet dirt smell like sweet dirt mixed with baby powder. As the hours go by, the rose amps, and it just smells like soiled baby powder. Overall: Dirt. I know, I'm overdoing it. But that's what it smells like to me. I like the rose, though this rose in particular is a bit too powdery. But I don't like the soil. This is good for people who love earthy scents and rose. But I really don't like earthy scents.

In the imp: I was going to put on poisoned apple today, and it took me hours to realize I put this oil on instead! I have a pile of tried imps, and another pile to try, and it was the wrong oil. SO all day I was thinking I was wearing poisoned apple. And I could get confused. They smell similar to me in the imp. This is sweeter, more appley, but there is something dark and poisonous in the background. Wet: Yeah, it smells like a poisonous apple. A crisp yellow apple. I think it's the oak bark or something that smells like its rotting on my skin. There's something wrong with either my skin chemistry or my nose. Everything smells dirty to me! And I am not dirty, I shower twice a day most days! Almost every oil from my last order has smelled off to me ...I dunno why. Dry: The oak smell is fading slowly. I smell a bit of flowers. But now it's mostly apple. And not really sweet red apple, it's not overpowering or fake smelling. It's frash, crisp, light. I could wear this. \ Overall: It took a while, but I like it. It's refeshing, a bit sweet. I have to go past the dirty stage to get to the enjoyable stage, but it's worth it. Not a big bottle for me, but I will use my imp!

In the imp:Not what I was expecting at all! Most of the reviews say that it's mostly lilac and lily of the valley...but all I get is dragon's blood. Very piercing, is right, but no florals at all. And lilac and lily of the valley are my two favorite flowers! Oh, sigh... Wet: It's getting sharper and turning dirty. I might have to wash it off. Dry: Smells like dirty soap. A bit like Irish Spring, but with somehting dirty behind it. I have to wash it off. Overall: I was expecting more lilac and lily of the valley, and all I got was dirty. I didn't like this at all. This is my second dragon's blood scent (the other was dragon's hide) and I don't like either. I think I just need to stay away from dragon's blood...

In the imp: Red apple and soil. Very sweet and fruity and earthy. No honey and roses (my favorite notes). I'm sad now now. I was expecting to love it! Wet: Very, very sweet. All sweet apple, maybe some peach and a bit of rose. It didn't take me long to learn that I don't like apple (from Eve). The earthiness isn't there at all. This is a huge change from the imp. I think I smell the skin musk as well, although I don't know what that's supposed to smell like. I smell something that I can't recognize, so I assume this is it. Dry: The apple and peach are completely gone. The earthiness is gone. The roses are there in the background, and there is barely any honey. This is strange because not only are these my two favorite notes, they amp on my skin in a good way, and last a long time. They are very delicate and gentle here. All I really smell is sweet musk. Overall: I don't know about this. It changed all day on me. I can't really say I like it or hate it. I guess I just don't care about it. It's nothing special. I was expecting to love it, adoring honey and rose, but I haven't really found myself smelling my wrists. And it doesn't smell bad, it just doesn't stand out from any of the other scents I've tried. And it didn't really last that long. There is still a lingering sweetness (sweet musk), but it's nothing I care for.

I'm not going to do the usual in the imp/wet/dry/overall reviews I do with other oils. This is vanilla and honey. And it's beautiful. Snake Oil without the spiciness, Jezebel without the roses. It takes a while for the honey to come out, but when it did, I fell in love. It doesn't have the amazing throw I was expecting and it doesn't last as long as I was expecting, but I still love it!

In the imp: Lemon and green tea and a delicate sweet floral! I'm in love I want a big bottle now. So pretty and delicate! Wet: On me I'm getting hints of green grass. I love green grass. I'm more in love with this scent! It's still lemony. I get some ginger and white tea coming out from the grass. Dry: It's fading quickly. But it's still pretty. Reminds me of Kumiho, but this stays on me longer, and there's a green grass note. Overall: Very, very pretty, clean, and delicate. I love it! Fades quickly, but it's pretty enough for me to want to buy a big bottle anyway!

This is just milk chocolate. Exactly as the description. Not my cup of tea. Too sweet and foody. I want to eat it not wear it.

In the bottle: Spicy vanilla. Reminds me of a floral version of Snake Oil. Definitely not what my first imp of this smelled like. The imp had barely any spice to it, and I preferred that. I'm not a big fan of Snake Oil. Wet: The vanilla is prominent, but it's turning into an antique lace vanilla. A bit pasticy on me. Initially, from my imp, It smelled like clean vanilla, white flowers. But now I think the spices are interfering and the vanilla is going bad on me. Dry: Better. Much better. The spice settles down and this turns into a nice, feminine floral with a big punch of vanilla. Still plasticy, but it's not bothering me as much. Overall: I seem to have the worst luck transitioning from imp to bottle. The imps always smell drastically different than the bottles do for me. This scent is no exception. I loved the imp. I like the bottle. I'll wear it for a change, but it won't be the first scent I'll grab.

In the imp: Green, crystalline, clean. I can definitely smell cut green grass and some musk. Wet: Reminds me of Embalming Fluid because of the musk. It's also like the masculine version of 51. It's green. The grass isn't as prominent as it is in the imp. Some herbiness comes out. But it feels like green glass. Beautiful. Dry:The musk remains. It's a green musk, and it isn't bothering me as mush as most musky smells do.. I wanted the grass to stay. I love the smell of fresh cut grass! Overall: Very clean and lovely. Very similar to 51. But I prefer 51. I'll definitely be using my imp!
