I shouldn't like this but I LOVE it! I didn't read the description until after I tried it, and now I feel naughty for liking it. Mostly getting sweet vanilla coconutiness (which I strangely like - I guess it's artificial coconut that I dislike, this coconut is a win). Knowing the notes, I can pick out a touch of tobacco and rum, a bit of leather I guess. Which is bad, I'm technically a minor and ought not to be smelling like tobacco and alcohol! (Plus I'm a good nerd girl who stays home studying all the time.) But I don't care at this point, I love this scent. Despite all odds, it's amazing. It must be the tonka! (Must get more scents with tonka!)

It reminds me of running track outside. Not to say that's necessarily a bad smell, just that all the woodsy smell come off a bit pine-fresh on me, somewhat like some sort of shoe freshener, and when mixed with my body chemistry just makes me think of track. So yeah, not going to be wearing this one unless I feel like running I guess. It lasted a mid length for me, not short or long. More shorter than longer.

I got this from the swap board, one of the first imps I've tried, and it's my favorite by far. I just love it. Looking above, I guess it's the vetiver. I've never smelled that before. But it reminds me of ocean water and decaying vegetation, in a good way. It smells 'clean' despite of it. The only sad part is that it's completely gone before two hours, max. Most of my others I can still smell a bit after wearing for 8 hours or more.

At first, this one I liked very much. It reminded me of sitting under the damp shadow of a tree in the sun, all the scents getting up everywhere. A bit animal too. I was fond - I like sitting under trees. But as I wore it, something turned... wrong. I would catch whiffs of something as I went about my day, and wonder if the cat peed in my shoes, or if the dog rolled in something she shouldn't have. No, wait, that's me. Drat. Maybe I'll try it at another point, but I really can't go on wondering if today's the day it's going to turn to animal waste on me. (I wonder what it is in the mix that does this for me...)

As a freebie in my last order. I HATEDESPISE candy corn. But it came in a nifty roller ball! Maybe I can find something to decant it into and give it away, or use it or throw it out so I can clean out the roller ball for my own use. Hrm...

More woodsy shoe freshener. :/ But a little better than Yggdrasil. Too bad this one's the sniffie and Yggrasil is the full imp. Ah, well.

This smells JUST like a blooming nursery. I like it.

Less minty than I thought, but I still really like this one. Maybe when I try them independently I'll give you more of a review.

This smells JUST like a shadow. Sitting under a tree in summer. <3 I love this one, more than any of the previous.

Smells quite a bit like La Belle Dame Sans Merci. I guess it's the aquatics. It settled down very nicely, I quite like it. Not so air freshenery, though still a bit. Do I want to smell like this...?

Tobacco. Ew, tobacco.

Oh my oh my. What is that? Anise? Oooh, and under it, licorice. I smell so yummy! And cave-y at the same time too. I like it. I really like it. But will I wear it? It's really strongly licorice, I don't know if I want to smell that much like licorice.

Pine. Pine. Why so pine? This one seemed complex in the imp, but mostly I'm getting pine when first applied. It reminds me of... track. Running outside, plus shoe freshener. Hrm... Maybe. Still not really feeling it.

BPAL number two! VERY sharp, biting. It's not as strong a scent as Hymn to Proserpine, or maybe I just didn't put on as much. The 'clean' of the reviews is right. Kinda air freshener-y. Dries down a little less sharp. Rather floral. I wish I liked this one more. *try again later* (Though, smelling my wrists together, I think this could actually layer well with HtP, but maybe that's just me. )

My first BPAL to try! When I first put it on, it seemed very sweet. Lots of fruit. Now a few minutes later, it has dried a bit into more amber, with that touch of fruit. Throughout this whole thing, it has screamed 'PERFUME' at me. Maybe it's the amber. Maybe it's some florals in there. I dunno, don't have a good nose yet. This prevents me from loving it, at the moment, but I'll be keeping it to try again later. It's still nice. Just... yeah.
