Will update every so often. 9/18 antibody test negative. Have worked the whole time & been around others who later tested positive, so surprised Faint smoke is bothering my allergies Doing talk therapy over video, especially as a group, is a pain. my mom is having neck surgery on Thursday. Wasn’t going to tell us but a friend told her she should. No visitors allowed and she’s not tech savvy but we’ve uploaded some video chat apps —— 8/29 Work has been crazy busy. covid antibody test. Brunch. & getting mani pedi with mom.

It is strong, red, and sweet. there's something powdery and artificial in the background. there is a floral edge. it settles into a pretty sweet red berry scent.

sharp bitter. I get whiffs of amber which gives a tiny bit of sweet evry so often. there's a kind of ozone note. I can't pick out the dead leaves or wood, but it is a smokey scent. wet it's so strong but it settles.

The nights are at their longest, the sky is at its darkest. The air is still with reflective silence. A bouquet of night-blooming flowers, petals dusted with frost. Cereus, moonflower accord, night phlox, honeysuckle, silver thyme, white mint, and blue musk. typical floral, bordering on bugspray. no mint.

In the bottle it was like pure orange, on the skin it's pure astringent tobacco. I normally amp spice, but i detect no cinnamon. Every so often I get a waft of sweetness which would probably be from the vanilla. It dries to a mainly soft tobacco.

BEAUTIFUL light sweet realistic rose note, like in love. it's got an even sweeter bite which is probably the vanilla. not huge throw or staying power. settles into a soft rose.

I was super excited, because I love chocolate scents & nervous for this, because of the additional notes. This was a let down. I see no dark sludgy bits, so this probably wont be that true dark cocoa of cocoa absolute. It is a sweet powdery cocoa. It goes mainly to a powdery musk sweetened with Powdery chocolate. It doesnt have much throw either, good for those who dont want to have a cloud of scent around them. I have to put my nose next to my wrist. Sometime I get a huff of something floral & play doughy. Ill let it settle a week and revisit.

Started off like bugspray, sharp. Once it dries it's a floral scent & the bug spray scent leaves. I get no cherries

I had hoped this would be the best parts of Love, sweet strawberry and marshmallow, without the rose, but it's not. The strawberry is like the soft center of those bulk strawberry hard candies in a strawberry looking wrapper. The mallow blossom is definitely a blossom, floral, and not sweet. Artificial strawberry jelly, with a floral edge. Not a fan.

Not like the nut in mouse circus, to me. I don't really even get deep snake oil. It's the weirdest thing, nothing like I expected. I hoped for mouse circus meets snake oil. I get whiffs of crushed peanut, not super creamy, sweet or salty. It doesn't have that deep resinous scent I usually associate with snake oil. Dry, it's like diluted snake oil with a faint crushed raw peanut edge.

I don't get that blast of alcohol booziness. to me, bpal Rum scents are usually more like dark long barrel aged rum. It has a dark deep slightly wood bite. I get a bit of that in the background but the majority is SPICE!. I don't get coffee or buttercream. I mainly get some clove with that dark rum barrel edge. I'm going to let this one age. The imp will be enough for me. I tend to amp spice but the scent doesn't change from imp to skin.

It starts off realistic tart squished raspberries, but settles into a pure blast of artificial red berry. it reminds of BBW sunripened raspberry. I don't get any bread/cake edge to it. The start is amazing but what it settles into, not so much, but I'll still hold onto my imp.
