straight sniff from the imp is a heady, rich vanilla and jasmine~ a slight grapefruity, citrus twinge too!! while i normally cannot wear jasmine of any kind, the note in this blend is astonishing...very light and delicate when combined with the vanilla and citrus this is such a beautiful scent indeed and i am thrilled to have a small dose of it to sniff from time to time...

straight sniff from bottle is angry patchouli with lots of dust...whoa!! once applied an extremely sweet sophistication comes forefront...then it reverts back to that dustiness as most recognizable from the rat king... black peppery too... this is a truly unique blend and lasts forever on me...i like it very much...the sweetness/dryness combined with the patchouli makes this a pure work of genius from our beloved beth!! i can hardly wait for the twilight zone episode "the dummy" again now that i have tried this ...truly classic!
