Wow, I can't believe I'm the first one. ohhh the pressure.

Anyway, I got to try this one at the will call. I mentioned how much I love clove and Forest suggested that I try this one. It doesn't have clove in it, but it has that same dark heft to it. Deep and dark are the best ways I can describe this one. I get the tobacco, tobacco - not smoke, but not so much of the other notes specifically. It really is deep and complex. mmmm I like it. It's not entirely masculine, but would smell nice on a guy. A dark, mysterious guy.

I get mostly orange blossom and patchouli in this. I can't really pick out any ginger once it dries. Hmm it is good, but I can't see myself wearing it much. I do like the blend though. The orange blossom and the patchouli are well balanced.

mmmmmmm

Honey. I love honey and ylang ylang and musk. mmm In the imp it is a little bit harsh with a weird bit of fake fruit, but that fades on my skin. This is very soft and faint. It smells softly sweet. I just wish it lasted a bit longer.

This one smells sooooo good in the imp. It's all lime and vanilla and mmmmmm. However on my skin it smells kind of medicinal, pine sol, and bleh. oh well. Not a keeper.

mmmmmmm

tasty

This one starts out very pumpkin. Then the spices come out. After it dries completely another buttery vanilla type note comes out. Though I do like the initial scent a bit better. mmm This is so good. If you like this you'll like the pumpkin patch and vice versa.

This one seemed very pale to me. Very soft and pale. It didn't fade or anything though. At first it had vanilla and flowers. Then after it dried, it was very creamy and sort of milky. It reminded me a little bit of chaste moon. It was delicate and pretty. It really was nice and it surprised me a little that I liked it.

yum I knew I should've ordered this one. oh well.

At first it's just floral and frankly a little boring for my tastes, but after it dries it's another story. mmmm It gets all spicy and still slightly floral and warm and skinlike. I love this. I'll have to make this imp last.

Judging from how it smells in the imp, I wasn't really sure how I'd like this one. It smells very fruity. It doesn't smell like the strawberry I've tried in Strawberry Moon or in Bon Vivant. I do get strawberry though. It is a very sweet scent. Then it gets darker and a bit musky. Nice. I never really got any orange blossom from it. I'm not sure how much I'll wear it, but I do like it.

I smell mostly the citron in this when it's wet. Lemony citron and the lime. After it dries I get the white musk. Hmm It appears that white musk isn't so great on me. This is a really relaxing, clean scent. I didn't even realize it was supossed to be for the boys until now when I read the description. Darn. Really thought I'd like this one. oh well

In the imp it smells like a forest. Pine or fir and cold. Once it's dry it gets fruity too. Very strange. It's like pine, pineapple and lemon or lime. Weird.

This one smells delicious in the imp. When it dries on my skin it turns into nothing special though. It is still nice, but there are others that I like more. It is sweet and a little bit spicy. It isn't really foody, but it makes me want to eat my arm. I really like the lab's patchouli. It blends so well with the other notes that I hardly notice it. With other patchoulis the note stands out so much that it overshadows the other notes. Not with these! Anyway, if it didn't change so much on my skin I'd be keeping it.

The only time I get any hint at all of the rosemary is when it is wet in the imp. When it's on my skin the orange blossom comes out really strong. Then as expected the rose comes out and takes over the whole thing. My skin tends to do this with most roses. Yup now it is 100% rose. It was really nice for a few minutes there. *shrug*

I already have plenty of rose ones, so I think it's going to the swaps.

yum!

At first sniff in the vial this smelled so good and tasty and deep. Once on my skin I started having second thoughts, but after it dried it turned out very nice. It smells like fig and some kind of peppery spice. I could swear I'm also getting a hint of sweet coconut in here too. mmmm a keeper

This smells so good in the imp. It's very cherry. mmmmmm

Once it's on my skin the cherry is still really strong and the scent gets deeper and redder. Then it gets smells like a tin of sucrets. Hmmm not so good. Kind of medicinal. Then it gets worse. It keeps changing on my skin and each stage is worse than the last until it fades out. I vow to one day find a very cherry scent that works on me. Sadly this is not the one.

Oh yes there is dragon's blood in here. I like the way dragon's blood smells, but I don't usually like it on my skin. It just never works with my chemistry it appears. So this starts out heavy with the dragon's blood, then the cinnamon comes out pretty strong. It gets better at this stage. I only smell the clove faintly and a couple hours after putting it on. Not bad, but the dragon's blood on my skin ruins it for me. oh well

wowza. It is dry and deep and round smelling, if that makes any sense. I can't think of what this reminds me of. Maybe something from lush. Someone mentioned Tramp from lush, but I've never tried that, so maybe something else. Hmm It's really rich, yet dry. It's a little woody, a little dusty, a little something slightly sweet, fruity, and deep. It's dark. I really didn't think I'd like this one, but I was wrong. I really don't know how often I'll wear it though.

This really is relaxing. It smells cool and airy and citrus to me. I really like it and will get more when I finish off this imp. On my skin it is very light and I forget that it's there. I usually use it in conjunction with another, stronger oil. mmmmm It is lovely.

I get sweet, flowery amber from this. It is very pretty. It doesn't last as long as i'd like it to though. I think I'll keep it at least for now and give it another try later.

I was testing this out on me one morning and the male friend that I carpool with sometimes laughed at me and asked if I was wearing men's cologne. I told him what it was called and he said, "What? Aqua Velva?" Anyway, it is definitely a masculine cologne type scent. It is also definitely an aquatic type men's scent. I have to say of the manly ones this isn't one that I'd really even care to smell on a guy. There's others that I like better.

This one is full of notes that I really like. At first it's a pretty, elegant, floral blend. It changes over time on my skin. Usually certain roses amp way up on my skin, but this one didn't do that. After about 40 minutes this one smells exactly like beeswax on me. hmmm

This one is very very strong. It smells herbal and green. There's also a dirt note here. Once it's on my skin it gets stronger and stronger and makes me feel a little bit sick. I don't know if the voodooness works or not.

Very interesting.

 

This one starts out smelling kind of perfumey. Then once it's dry it mellows out and settles in. It is fruity and warm and tasty. There is posibly some musk in here. Very nice, not sure how much I'll wear it though.

This smells juicy green to me. I think I smell something like cucumber or melon. It has a slight honey type note to me. I only get the slightest barely there hint of citrus. It's more like the flowers on the lemon tree than the actual lemons. It's very light. Unfortunately it didn't last all that long on me. I like it a lot.

At first this one smells (and looks) very green. It has some kind of pine/evergreen note to it. It is very fresh and clean smelling. After a while it gets kind of sweet while still keeping the other notes. Very nice.

In the vial I smell the cherry, but once it's on my skin it disappears. *pout* Then it becomes very pretty and floral. The lillies stand out a lot. It fades pretty fast on me. I wish it didn't change so much on my skin, because I really like the floral cherry blend of it.
