in the imp: very faint patcouli and spicey apples wet on skin: this is a very light scent while wet. I am getting faint notes of crisp apple and rose, and some herbal scents, namely the patchouli. the apple is the dominating note on me. dry on skin: the rose is a lot stronger now. all i'm mostly getting is roses and herbs... the beautiful apple note has faded to the background.
-
in the imp: very faint musk and coconut wet on skin: coconut & musk dry on skin: very tropical, in the tanning lotion sense. smells like coconut tanning oil...
-
in the imp: very fruity wine wet on skin: strong fruit and red wine. dry on skin: smokey wine! the tobacco note is starting to come out. there are some florals too which i'm not to fond of, I can definitely see the potpuri comparison some have mentioned.
-
Very strong on the inital application. This smells like smokey vanilla on the drydown. Very sexy, i'd wear this on a hot date
-
This is very mossy... very strange. I had my mom who's a gardener smell this, and she said it smells like moldy dirt!
-
in the imp: warm vanilla wet on skin: very soft vanilla... so cuddly! dry on skin: I'm not getting much wood out of this, if at all... just a comforting vanilla.
-
in the bottle: herbal chocolate. a little strange, but sweet and sexy. wet on skin: VERY strong herbals. just a touch of cocoa hiding underneath those herbals. dry on skin: very soft chocolate with a touch of herbals. Oh my, this dries down beautifully! Very sexy!
-
This is for the 08 blend. in the bottle: florals with pine in the background. Smells like febreeze.. wet on skin: Oh! Sweet pine! very pleasant. No febreeze anymore! this would be wonderful on a cold winter day. dry on skin: This is gorgeous. A lot different on the drydown. The pine is not as strong, but mingles with snow, florals and something else I can't quite make out. Very girly, and a soft pine!
-
in the bottle: very thick chocolate and smoke. burnt chocolate? wet on skin: this stuff is darker than snake oil! This is musky chocolate... no smoke yet! dry on skin: chocolate and a little bit of smoke. This is very much like a less spicey snake oil/boomslang... yum!
-
For the 08 version The 09 is almost identical to this one, although this one seems to be a little more sweet and has more staying power. It has less of the "plastic" note everyone talks about, that reminds me of lush's snowcake.
-
I believe this is the 07 version in the bottle: it smells like a smokey candle mixed with febreeze and alcohol. :S wet on skin: wow, uh this smells very febreezy. Almost burns my nose a little. It smells VERY floral-y. dry on skin: a bit of the apple is starting to come out. smells like strong, febreeze still.... I'll have to wait and see how it smells hours after application.
-
in the bottle: very earthy and herbal, but sweet wet on skin: earthy with patchouli in the background! there's a hint of citrus and it smells a little smokey, guessing that's the tobacco. dry on skin: dries down nicely, not as strong as it was initially. I think this is a very unisex sort of scent, mysterious and sexy. I want my boyfriend to give this a try!
-
in the imp: soft orange and vanilla wet on skin: oh yum. I have to agree this is like creamy orange incense... very lovely. dry on skin: smokey vanilla. can't quite smell the orange anymore, but it's still nice!
-
This is pure gingerbread! I think I prefer Invasion of the Flesh Eating Reindeer more than this one, it's a little stronger. Compared to Reindeer, this is the lighter version with less spices.
-
This review is of the 2006 luper in the imp: lots of booze and musk! very sweet. wet on skin: musk musk musk! booze is very light underneath the musk. Almost smells a tad fruity! dry on skin: lots of musk and very little booze. Obviously, if you like musk, which I do, you'll enjoy this
-
Just tried Black Pearl, and it is VERY coconutty on me! I love this one! It smells a little bit like tanning lotions at first (which I don't mind) but dris down beautifully!
-
in the imp: sweet, light white musk wet on skin: coconut and musk! This smells a little bit like tanning oils/lotion, but that's okay because I love the smell of them. dry on skin: the flower notes came out a lot more stronger now. But I still like this! I can still smell the coconut and musk. This is a very light, beautiful scent, and would be perfect for summer time!
-
in the imp: strong, grassy herbals with some sweet notes wet on skin: strong vertiver and pine. The pine is the most dominant note. dry on skin: This is a very strong scent. The pine is still there, with some sweet notes (vanilla, almond) lurking in the background. But overall what I get most is the pine, and very little patchouli. This is a very woodsy/outdoors scent!
-
Alot of the Atomic Lua Lounge LE's feature coconut, including screeching parrot which is delicious, but not as a main note. I don't think i've come across a bpal that smells PURELY of coconut, but the atomic lua's are very tropical.. you may find a winner with them! I'm sure you can find imps in the for sale thread.
-
YUM! This HONESTLY smells a little bit like the LE creepy! Delicious! butterscotch, caramel, and rum...
-
Wet on skin, I get the pumpkin, amber and some spices. It isn't a sweet pumpkin, but like a creamy pumpkin cake! On the dry down it gets much softer, but still smells like a pumpkin cake to me.

I'm so happy I have werepuppy, stinky, and womb furie on its way to me! I've been pretty lucky and haven't had a milk note go funny. I'm going to try layering some stuff to see if I can get the mlk & honey smell... I Love that lotion!
