    Night Thoughts

    straight sniff from bottle is cedar and lilac... once applied the cedar amps up huge and calms down rather quickly... herbaceous and floral combined with the cedar makes a very unique blend... just not sure if this really works on me or not...i'll give it a few more tryouts before i make a final verdict

    The Ragged Wood

    straight sniff from bottle is a floral forest... once applied i get soft pine and juniper with a breath of jasmine...lovely... the forest notes compliment the florals exquisitely... the benzoin and vanilla round this out removing any of the soapiness... great throw and distinctly girly

    To a Woman

    straight sniff from imp is strangely vegetable-like to me once applied the rose and petitgrain make an appearance...spicy and sort of resiny...but not quite...hard to put my finger on this one... but wait...oh, there is the patchouli in this; veeeeeeeery well blended and not to be feared... completely different than anything else i have ever had the experience of trying.. i must agree with FS's review about being "strangely alluring"...'tis true indeed

    Love's Torments

    straight sniff from the imp is pure vetiver ooooh!! applied the neroli and sandalwood balance this out ... this gets smoky and i get some sense of an orange note... almost orange wood...very interesting blend ... not one of my fav vetiver scents but i am glad i tried it nonetheless....

    L'Ecole des Filles

    straight sniff from imp is a clean, crisp orange blossom... once applied this is a pretty floral with a somewhat fruity edge...there is a green note dancing about too... unfortunately this fades fast and furiously so i will age my imp and see if it rounds out a bit

    Deep in Earth

    straight sniff from imp is a deep, rich dirt scent!! once applied this is quite strong... this does not morph much with my chemistry which is actually fine by me... mossy, earthy goodness abounds

    Defututa

    straight sniff from imp is beautiful olive blossom and sweet golden honey... once applied the jasmine comes forefront but not "in your face" jasminey...the smoky vanilla tempers this very nicely...great sillage as well... next order will include a big bottle of this terrific scent

    Fascinum

    straight sniff from imp is a heady, resinous blend... once applied the saffron and amber swirl together with what is, indeed, a truly golden musk; some spiciness takes tops this off nicely ...very unique and different and the artist has truly captured power and fertility in fascinum

    A Farewell to False Love

    straight sniff from the bottle is a distinctly pretty floral... difficult for me to pick any particular notes... once applied the lavender bellies forefront and has an almost smoky quality to it the lavender and violet notes are prominent on my skin making this a truly beautiful and elegant perfume...love it

    Twilight

    straight sniff from imp is gorgeous lavender.. once applied it stays pretty much lavender but after awhile i get that touch of honeysuckle with it... ironically "zero" jasmine which is so unusual because my skin absolutely amps that note... this is a truly beautiful blend ...

    New Orleans

    straight sniff from imp is jasmine and honeysuckle... this certainly evokes images of new orleans in the sweltering heat and humidity... once applied this is really pretty!! the sweetness & spiciness are in perfect harmony... quite lovely indeed...

    I Married a Vampire from Planet X

    straight sniff from bottle is dark musk and amber... once applied on my skin this *is* thierry mugler's angel .... i am not quite sure how our lovely, resident perfumer blended this but it is very close to that blend minus the cocoa ...with some green after 15-30 minutes.... this is incredibe and beautiful and a complex morpher....i am going to cherish this bottle for years to come.... p.s. after reading all the other reviews i love that this is completely different with everyone's chemistry....ultra cool in my eyes!!

    Reindeer Poop

    firstly the imp label is just darling on this one straight sniff from imp is a musky, cinnamon, cocoa... once applied this gets less foody and more much more cinnamon with the slightest hint of something almost floral... sillage of this is intense (thank goodness!) and i shall cherish this imp in my collection

    Pollution

    straight sniff from bottle green and citrus... once applied this gets musky and slightly smoky...some sort of a "green incense" type note... this remains very green and very ozoney with the woody/smoky note... typically, i would say this is a masculine scent ...

    Aquarius 2007

    straight sniff from the bottle is an airy floral resin... once applied this is amazing the notes are so well blended it is rather hard for me to distinguish any one but together they create an aura which is distinctly this sun sign...i love it
