In the decant: I’m not sure what I smell, but it’s strong, and familiar. Wet on skin: Same as in the bottle. Dry on skin: Definitely minty, but in combination with some other scent(s). Hmm… Too strong for me. This scent could possibly work on a guy or a gal.

In the decant: WOAH, cloves! Wet on skin: Still cloves GALORE! Dry on skin: Cloves roasting in a campfire. May make a nice incense, but definitely not a perfume oil for me.

In the decant: Rich, decadent, chocolately goodness! Wet on skin: Same as in the bottle! Dry on skin: Definitely more of a dry, powder-like smell one gets when preparing a cup of Swiss-Miss Hot Cocoa. It’s much more rich when wet.

In the decant: This scent reminds me of a candy I once had as a child… So familiar, but I can’t put my finger on it! Wet on skin: Orange mixed with something else… Dry on skin: Definitely muskier… Not as sweet as before. I still can’t put my finger on what the familiar scents are… Not too sure what to make of this one!

In the decant: A blooming rose spritzed with a light, white musk. Wet on skin: Musk moves into the foreground. Dry on the skin: Slightly sweeter – a hint of black berry with the first whiff, followed by a subtle yet perfect blend of rose with musk. It’s really a lovely, soothing scent! LIKE! I may purchase a bottle!

In the decant: A sweet, silvery, delicious bouquet of assorted florals. Wet on skin: White musk moves into the foreground. Dry on skin: A sweet, white musk. Soft and feminine! LIKE! Gotta get a bottle!

In the decant: Mmmm... Sugary pears!!! It’s yummy! Wet on skin: Same as in the bottle, but more subtle. Dry on skin: Apples and pears blended to perfection! I LOVE it, and MUST have a bottle!

In the decant: Sweet, dampened soil. Black cherry REALLY prominent! Wet on skin: Cherries still REALLY prominent! Even more so now! Dry on skin: Back to a sweet, dampened soil smell with a hint of florals. It’s very different from scents I’m usually drawn to and wear, but I like it! It’s a bit "darker", but "grounded". I may consider purchasing a bottle.

In the decant: Sweet pea and lavender mixed with salt. It's refreshing! Wet on skin: Smells like a fancy bathroom soap, and I can’t single-out any one particular note. Dry on skin: Same as when wet... I really wanted this one to work being that I'm a water-sign, but no such luck!!!

In the decant: A buttery sugar cookie! YUM! Wet on skin: A bit more spicy than in the bottle, but in a good way! Dry on skin: Sugary almonds spiced with rum and a HINT of orange. It’s DELICIOUS! I MUST have a bottle!!!

In the decant: It’s as if I stepped into a room with a fire burning – the fire puts off a sweet smoke. Wet on skin: A tinge of fruit, but the scent vanishes almost instantly! Dry on skin: Can hardly detect a scent at all... Hopefully this’ll make a nice room scent!

In the decant: Spicy musks. Wet on skin: Fruitier scent – berries become prominent in the musky blend. Dry on skin: A bit more floral now… Flowers and musk. It's a lovely scent! Not my favorite of the Anniversary collection, but may be bottle-worthy!

I tried it at this month's Will Call and it's exactly how you each described it!!! It's so sweet and divine!!! I can't wait for it to become available for purchase!!!

In the imp: Carnation is the most dominant note. This is very floral! Wet: The carnation fades considerably. Her Voice is now an even blend of light florals. Dry: Not much of a significant change from being wet. Her Voice is very green. The florals are soft and gentle. It's a pleasant scent, but I'm not sure if it's sweet or strong enough for my personal tastes. This may be added to my swap list.

In the imp: I agree with what the majority of you have said - I, too, smell wet roses! Wet: Rosey roses! Dry: Still rosey!!! I like roses, and I like BPAL scents containing rosey notes, so I like this scent. This a darker, deeper floral. However, I was really craving cinnamon, and it alluded me yet again!!! I may swap this one...

In the imp: Sweet, fruity, and juicy!!! It reminds me a gum that I chewed during my childhood!!! (Fruit Stripe Gum!!!) Wet: Same impression, just slightly subdued. Dry: VERY consistent - it's the same as when I slathered it on!!! Glitter is adorable!!! It's fun, flirty, sweet, and girly!!! I especially love that it takes me back to being a kid again. I will savor each drop of my imp, and I hope that I'll be able to find more!!! It's a shame that this scent has been discontinued!!!

In the imp: Cucumber hits me first, and light florals follow. It soothes and refreshes! Wet: The florals become more prominent, with a hint of cucumber underneath. Dry: It's the same as when wet!!! The Gibbous Moon came to me as a frimp, so I didn't know what to expect. After reading the reviews, I became excited and anxious to slather some on myself!!! I'm very pleased with the results!!! This scent is a perfect blend of night-blooming blossoms, reminding me of those evenings when Spring turns to Summer - it's exquisite!!! Cucumber has easily become one of my favorite notes!!! I'll enjoy using the rest of my imp, and I hope that I'll be able to get my hands on some more!!!

In the imp: VERY minty with citrus undertones. It's very refreshing! Wet: Lavender and sweet pea come into the picture, with lavender keeping the upper-hand. Dry: Sweet pea sticks around indefinitely, leaving the other notes barely discernible. Gemini is soft and sweet. It's girlishly feminine. It's enchanting!!!

In the imp: Now THAT'S a wake-up call for my nose!!! The frankincense definitely dominates. The violet is attempting to creep along-side of it. It's spicy!!! Wet: The frankincense is playing with the violet much more nicely now. Dry: This scent fades VERY quickly, and I'm having a difficult time detecting it anymore - even after dragging my nose across the back of my hand!!! I bought an imp of this scent hoping to get a waft of some cinnamon, but no such luck. As a fragrance this doesn't do much of anything for me, but it has some aromatherapy potential - especially if I'm in need of revival!!!

In the imp: Citrus, with a hint of floral. It's pleasant! Wet: The citrus notes fade, and the floral notes take center stage. Dry: An initial hint of floral, and a strong aftertaste of musk! Becomes a bit woodsy, too! Faiza is light and refined. It's very green, and very refreshing. Again, it's pleasant, but I'm not sure if it's for me as a perfume-like substance. It has EXCELLENT aromatherapy potential, though!

In the imp: VERY strong, almost overwhelming florals. It's kind of bitter. Wet: Not too much of a difference once out of the imp and on my skin. Dry: It's not as strong, but I'm not satisfied. I can't detect the rose at all - the other scents dominate. I don't hate this scent, but I'm not in love with it either. This fragrance would make a lovely soap, or a nice air freshener, but I'm not particularly fond of it on my skin. I'll probably swap this one away.

In the imp: Sugared, sweetened lemons, and a hint of chamomile. This is juicy!!! Wet: Chamomile becomes more prominent, and the florals linger in the background. Dry: This a perfectly blended concoction!!! All four notes are in perfect harmony!!! This scent is lovely!!! It's fresh and flirty!!! I love it!!!

In the imp: This is, by far, THE most luscious bouqet of flowers I've EVER inhaled!!! VERY floral!!! Gorgeous!!! Wet: Still 100% floral, but not as striking. Dry: Soft, white florals with a hint of musk, and a taste of amber. This is VERY pretty!!! I wouldn't use words such as "malevolent" or "voracious" to describe this scent, though - those descriptions sound too harsh for this gentle scent. It's very soft in a sensual way. It lingers lightly, and leaves me wanting more. It's absolutely stunning!!!

In the imp: A brilliant blend of pears and cucumber - it's sweet and delicious! Wet: The initial notes of pears and cucumber fades drastically, and becomes non-existant. Florals come out to play. Dry: Black orchid dominates, and is followed by a pleasant crystal musk. Black Moon is amazing!!! It's powerful, yet it's not overwhelming. It's very feminine in a womanly way - it's not girlie at all. It's very sensual. I like it - a LOT!!!

In the imp: I just cracked open of Dole fruit cup - sweet, sugary PEARS galore!!! Wet: Pears are still there, with a bit of freesia lingering behind 'em. Dry: Pears are still there (yay!), followed closely by a pleasant blend of freesia and rose florals - rose being the most prominent after-taste. I adore this fragrance!!! It's a perfect blend of fruits and florals, neither being too powerful or dominant over the other. It's soft, gentle, and very feminine. It's lovely!!! This will definitely be a favorite of mine!!!
