Dew-covered peach blossom, white tea, moonlit musk, night-blooming jasmine, ho wood, and chrysanthemum. I really wanted this to be my one true peach scent, but it just wasn't meant to be. The other components add an edge that just doesn't do it for me. Ah, well. Good for wearing: until I find my one true peach wuv.

I wanted to like Schrodinger's Cat so badly based on the concept alone... and good news, everyone! I do! Primarily I get the grapefruit and lime are the dominant notes, but while I can't directly pick out the rest, you can tell that there's something else there that kicks this up to truly awesome. Good for wearing: dead or alive.

Mmmmm... delicious! When I first tried Snake Oil, I was bummed because it was nice, but nothing special or bottle worthy. But add a little cocoa to it and HELLO! It becomes awesome. The cocoa is nice because it gives you that chocolatey sweetness without being foody or going overboard, and the spices from the Snake Oil make it rich, intriguing, and delicious. Guh! So good! Good for wearing: whenever I want to smell AWESOME.

And once again, it's SOAP and maybe something slightly floral TIME! Brought to you by your host, Dolce Stil Nuovo! Good for wearing: while hanging out with germaphobe friends.

Opium smoke. Lots and lots and lots of opium smoke. Which is not delicious on me. Good for wearing: if I want to get out of work by convincing someone the bar is on fire and we need to evacuate.

When I first tried this, it seemed like a sexier version of Bordello. This time, when I first put in on, I got a dry powdery sour cherry hit, almost like crushed up Smarties, but after a moment, that dry sexiness comes back. This is a very apt scent for Lady Macbeth... a scent that gives you so much but holds back just a bit so you're always sniffing a little deeper, trying to get to satisfaction. This scent almost personifies the type of woman who could coax you into committing treacherous acts to satiate the lust for power buried deeply within your heart. Mmmm. Good for wearing: to smell sexy enough men would commit murder to please me. (Figuratively, preferably.)

The hot black musk is dominating this scent for me, but every now and them, I get some dark green earthiness. While not for me, this would smell divine on someone else. Good for wearing: when I want to smell like I've been hiking treacherous terrain all day.

A nice things about trying a wide variety of imps is you get to learn things. Today, I learned that combining notes I don't like with other notes I don't like will not magically morph it into something wearable, but a scent with the capabilities of making my nose consider jumping off my face and leaving me to my own devices. Good for wearing: to shock comatose bodies awake.

A very classic, white, clean floral. Good for wearing: when I want to smell innocently feminine.

Spongy white cake with lots of overly sugary buttercream frosting, dripping with dark red fruit. Very foody... possibly even a little too foody for my taste. I can feel cavities developing just from sniffing that frosting. Good for wearing: when I'm on a diet and want a scent that will satiate my cravings without exacerbating them.

I'm getting Dragon's Blood with musk and florals. It's pretty and light, but considering I'm pretty enamored with my current lover, it probably won't be a keeper. Good for wearing: when I want to feel like a pretty, sexy dragon (a.k.a. Daenerys.)

The good news: This leather actually smells like leather on me. The sandalwood dominates, but the leather is leather and not crazy chemical sex shop latex like I've gotten from other blends. The bad news: it doesn't really do much for me. It melds onto my skin to form something that's all together lackluster. I mean, it's sweet, and kind of nice, bu not OMGAMAZING like I've gotten from other BPAL. But I learned something today. Can't knock learning! Good for wearing: When I'm feeling dominatrixy.

Mostly getting raspberry liquor and cranberry. Whoever poured the gin into this seems to be pouring a bit light, and their bar is suffering from the same problem as mine: no mint. Still, definitely contemplating more of this... as long as I'm gonna smell like booze at work, might as well smell like delicious booze! Good for wearing: During a Wednesday Hump Day Happy Hour shift.
