straight sniff from imp is very green with some lavender... once applied i get some rose which fades quickly followed by lilac...i think i get a touch of the absinthe swirling around faintly as well... very pretty and i will cherish my imp of this delightful blend
-
straight sniff from imp is a sweet pine and fruit!!! yum!! once applied i can smell cedar but the fruit in this really amps up!! gorgeous!! another winner from our resident beth!!! bravo!!!
-
straight sniff from imp this is stunning!! slightly woodsy and slightly floral...an elegant combo once applied this turns into something so incredible!! i was afraid the ylang ylang in this would be overpowering but it is just blended to such perfection... woody, floral, boozy...what i love most is that everything about this perfume is so well balanced ... a definite big bottle purchase
-
straight sniff from the bottle is a kind of incensey floral...slightly spicy; a perfect autumn blend!! once applied this turns completely acrid with my chemistry excessively sharp...dammit...i had such high hopes for this ... the artwork on the bottle is gorgeous...what a shame this just does not work for me at all
-
holy shit i love this oh yeah...from the imp...sweet wood... but once this hits my skin ... hold on for the ride of your life..... aquatic air....sea salt....weathered boards from a ship....yes...i get all this from this beautiful perfume.....omG...a big bottle order...YES.... fucking amazing...omG....did beth make this for me exclusively?!??!?
-
straight sniff from imp is a sweet mint...lovely!! once applied this amps up beyond belief holy love of all that is fresh and aquatic...this is so beautiful... a peppermint candy cane comes to mind...eating it on the seaside... gorgeous!!! this lasts for a good long time too....i may need a big bottle for trips to provincetown for sure!!
-
hellz yes...straight sniff from imp is very green and wet with the naughtiest touch of smoke once applied..... ewwww....hugely floral; no musk at all...hugely frightful...i do not like this at all... a shame...i love the concept and the name.....boohooooodles....
-
straight sniff from bottle this is milky and buttery...a unique combo once applied the honey comes on strong & mingles with loads of butter...a thick cakey scent takes over...this stuff is super heavy duty folks; a dab'll more than do ya!! i tried this last night before i went to bed and it was still going strong this morning...it reminds me very much of gluttony but without that sour/nut smell... i had read references to this smelling like the lab's infamous underpants but this is nothing like that with my chemistry .... b-u-m-m-e-r i don't smell wine or anything boozey in this blend at all... to me, it is pure butter cake...plain and simple...i may have to try this in my scent locket for better results
-
straight sniff from imp is sweet yet bitter almond... once applied some florally incense takes over...finally a jasmine i can wear, too!! *note to self: night blooming jasmine plays oh so nicely with my chemistry!* wow...this is incredibly complex and gorgeous...stays close to my skin...i think i detect a bit of the saffron and cinnamon leaf intertwining with all the other notes in this fabulous scent...
-
straight sniff from imp is aquatic vetivert.... once applied the ocean comes to mind...with very mind boggling incense... this is a dude's scent .... ah, but i like it too big bottle? nah... but i will cherish this little imp
-
straight sniff from imp is clove and violet yum,yum, YUM...once it is on the violet amps up hayoogely....and how i adore beth's violet blends...with a touch of clove.... this is so amazing and i just love it...after 15 minutes to 1/2 hour the violet and clove combine into the most phenomenal blend to date...this is so great!! with incense to boot another big bottle purchase for me.....gah
-
straight sniff from imp is a gorgeous cocoa butter....with something tangy...gourmandy....enticing and wonderful once applied this has a fruity edge to me which turns immediately into the soft, delicate rose petals...oh golly...this is love to me .... again, vetiver is the factor that makes this an absolute divine perfume for me.... gots to order me up a big ol' bottle of santa muerte...no doubt
-
straight sniff from imp is earthy cinnamon, cedarwood and vetiver....holy COWzzz once applied the cinnamon mixing fantastically with the patchouli, cedar and vetiver...omG...i love this ... most definitely a big bottle purchase...this has so much depth and beauty...a gorgeous winter scent....strong and beautiful ... just like me
-
straight sniff from imp is all fruit and metallic once applied this is orange peel grounded with fig...amazing.... after 10 to 15 minutes this gets a spicy edge that is so lovely... really unique blend
-
straight sniff from imp is lots of florals...not overpowering....kinda perdee once applied...tons of rose, jasmine and smokiness...interesting...do i need a big bottle? not likely...will i use up my imp? sure...from time to time i think this would be a lovely perfume...it is so strong all i need is a dab or so and it will last for a good, long time
-
straight sniff from imp is herby and rooty but not overwhelmingly so...cedarwood is present... once applied this is a straight cedar single note...it ventures a bit from this aroma and gets more herbal...this has an incredible smoothness that i find so intriguing...unfortunately after 10 to 15 minutes my skin just devours this up and i am left with nothing but what seems to be a handful of pencil shavings...
-
A celebration of the Bone Church of Prague. Frankincense, rosewood, lily, and geranium rose. straight sniff from imp is frankincense and very sweet florals once applied this turns overwhelmingly green but with that frankincense note it makes it quite interesting indeed...this is strong...and turns somewhat soapy after 15 to 20 minutes with the right chemistry, kostnice would be an incredible perfume...but for me, it is merely "meh" and far too many strong soapy bubbles
-
straight sniff from imp is sweet and soft..something very coconut- meaty/buttery once applied this turns very aquatic and powdery.....but with that lovely coconut after 15 minutes or so the coconut turns slightly plastic...not too bad; not too good either ... sort of a love/hate relationship within 30 to 40 minutes.... i have to give this imp another try before i send her off to a new home...if i even do
-
wow....this is beautiful!! straight sniff from imp is a very sweet cedarwood.....gorgeous!!! once applied the cedarwood gets stronger and then the gorgeous vetiver comes shining through...a real winner!! almost a foody or gourmandy type of a scent...cocoa perhaps ... and fig or olive leaf....positively scrumptious and i do need a big bottle of this one....

Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

torture king = high john the conquerer undoubtedly...i tried them separately on each arm and there is no question they are exactly the same to this sea monkey's schnoz -
Red Currant, Black Currant & Cassis scents
sookster replied to gloom bear's topic in Recommendations
if you can get your hands on these 2 montsterbaits (underbed has cassia and closet has blackberries which may be somewhat similar to black currants) and combine them you might have just what you are looking for -
straight sniff from imp is very elegant, clean, delicate florals with a whisper of sandalwood... once applied this reminds me of the coppertone suntan lotion i used as a kid that must be the creamy vanilla combined with the florals... this scent gets very strong on me after about 15 to 20 minutes...and not in a good way...i'll give it one more chance in a scent locket before putting this into ye old swapperooski pile
-
straight sniff from imp is the most delighfully spiced amber once applied the iris and berries meld together with the spicy amber making this a truly sniffable inducing blend...i must comment how much i love the amber in this perfume...it is probably the best amber i have tried in one of the beth's creations to date....absolutely lovely and i will be enjoying this imp for the upcoming autumn weather...this could very well become a big bottle purchase for me
-
straight sniff from imp is bright, enticing lemon verbena with a kick of orange blossom... once applied this amps up with the orange and honeysuckle notes being forefront...vibrant and vivacious this is a stunning perfume...good throw as well...perfect for sultry summer evenings sitting on the porch with my heart shaped sunglasses and sipping a mojito...oh yeah
-
straight sniff from imp this is a fresh fig; very earthy note once applied this has a somewhat milky and cocoa butter edge...this blend is definitely subdued and subtle and quite interesting...i will be keeping this around for awhile to try a few more times before making my final conclusion
