Well, I waited on reviewing this scent for a few weeks to see if it would grow on me. I got it as a frimp in a bunch of imps I ordered (thanks BPAL!). I took a whiff of the imp, and automatically liked it. It had a very lush, floral scent to it, tempered with something herbal. Then I applied some on my arm, and it morphed into Chanel No. 5, which on me is a soapy lily. Not a good smell >.< It eventually calmed down and turned into a powdery lavender, reminiscent of a floral bath powder. The throw on this was amazing. I hardly put any on my arm, and you could smell me from across the room. It lasted for about 3 hours, but I did exercise with it on, so the sweat probably lessened the staying power. I'm rather on the fence about this one. In a way, I like it. It reminds me of both of my Grandmothers, one who wears Chanel No. 5, and the other who likes flowery bath powder. But it's also something I wouldn't really wear. I could see myself swiping this on if I wanted to think of my Grandparents, but otherwise.. eh...

I received this as a frimp in my first order, and I love it so It took me awhile to realize it's full potential though. When I first smelled the imp, all I could detect was a minty scent with sweetness behind it. I want to say that's the sassafras, but I'm not sure. Putting it on wet, CEDAR. And when I say cedar, I mean enough to make your nose wrinkle and your eyes water! I didn't care for it at first, but it was also compelling. I kept having the urge to sniff my wrist. Drying down, the cedar calms down a bit, and the vanilla starts appearing. This is a warm vanilla though, nothing sweet or foody about it. As the day goes on, the cedar gently recedes and you're left with a warm, spicy vanilla. It's a beautiful, unique scent. It reminds me of being in the desert right before a storm, and smelling the fumes coming off the creosote bushes. Definitely bottle worthy.

Well, this is going to be a short review, since I'm fairly new at trying to pick out notes from a scent. Out of all the imps I've tried, this is the first scent where I really couldn't pick out any particular note, besides pink pepper. Overall, it just seems very juicy and sweet, with a hint of spiciness. Juicy Fruit gum? Nah.. (sniffs bottle again) well heck, in the imp it smells exactly like Juicy Fruit! Luckily it doesn't drydown quite so sweet. I like it very much. It's very well blended, and I plan on getting a bottle of it post-haste. And now I have the Juicy Fruit jingle stuck in my head ..

Oh Dana O'Shee, why has thou forsaken me? In the imp, this scent smells amazing. You can smell all the notes of milk, honey and grain in it. So I immediately dab it on, and I can smell a faint almond scent coming up through it. Then it dries down, turns to Play Doh, and disappears. I like this scent so much that I'm contemplating keeping an imp on me at all times and dabbing myself constantly, so it never dries down on me. Or else just try to embrace my inner 5 year old and enjoy the scent of almond play doh. I mean, whatever works ...

I've always had a thing for citrus perfumes, so I jumped at the chance to try an imp of this. In the bottle, it smells mostly like grapefruit and apple, very fruity and well-rounded. On my arm, though, it turns into grapefruit rind, with a smidge of ginger. It's still fruity, but more astringent and harsh, which makes sense since the Baobhan Sith start out all sweet and fuzzy, then get all vampire on you It lasted a surprisingly long time on me, considering that light scents usually die on me after an hour or two. I've had it on 5 hours, and I keep getting whiffs of the scent now and then. Overall, it's a lovely scent, very unusual and unlike any other citrus scent I've smelled.

Lilith was the only imp I bought that I didn't even glance at the scent description. I love the mythology about her, and really liked the idea of smelling like a succubus queen, haha. So when I popped open the imp, I was really excited. Even though I'd just had a rather traumatizing experience with rose *coughcoughPersephone* I remained optimistic. Coming from the imp was the gorgeous smell of a juicy rose tempered with the smell of myrrh and musk. Then I put it on. When it was wet it kept most of the notes listed above, but on drydown, it turned to incense on me. The cheap kind I used to buy in bulk at flea markets. The rose is still there, but it's buried under a ton of incense. Which, honestly, isn't too bad. I like the smell of incense, and the hint of rose keeps it from being total overkill. So overall, I like it. It definitely seems like something a storm demon/lamia/succubus would smell like. It's strong and giving me a bit of a headache, but still nice!

This was definitely one of those scents that I wanted to work on me. I mean hey, I like roses and pomegranates, and Persephone is my favorite Greek deity! So when I opened my imp, I was more than pleased. There was mostly a juicy rose (don't ask me how a rose can be juicy) and a hint of fruit. Then I put it on. And suddenly the juicy fruitiness morphs into Rose. And nothing but Rose. It reminded me of a scent that I later figured out was Cassis Rose from The Body Shop. Not a bad scent, but fairly one-dimensional. So, I'm not destined to smell like Persephone, but at least I don't have some crazy old guy dragging me into the underworld to be his wife!

In the bottle: A strong mix of butterscotch and coconut rum. It took me a minute to pick out the coconut rum listed on there, but once I knew it was there, it came up very strong. Wet: Ooo now I smell apples! Actually, this smells exactly like these apple lollipops with a caramel center that I loved when I was a kid.. Dry: Everything softens to a nice warm butterscotch scent. Well, it has an amazing throw, and has lasted all night. Each time I get a whiff of it, I start craving candy, which makes it an awesome Halloween scent

Yay, my first review! Even before I opened the bottle, I could smell the pumpkin and the coffee beans. After squee'ing and doing a happy dance, I popped open the bottle and promptly spilled it all over my hands Going on wet, the coffee and the pumpkin stayed strong, with only a hint of vanilla, but once it dried down, everything went away except the vanilla bean and hazelnut. Now instead of a pumpkin latte, I smell more like a cup of coffee full of vanilla and hazelnut creamer. Not a bad scent, but a bit too sweet for me. I've had it on for two hours, and it seems to be still going strong, and you can smell it from 10 ft. away ( I tested ) Overall, a lovely scent, very foody and sweet, but I think a bit too sweet for me.
