8 imps of pure, highest-grade patchouli SN will be available on Harvest Moon at BPAL w/c, $15 ea, on a first-come-first served basis. If you are placing an order ahead of time for pick up, you may request an imp. They were distilled in-house by our own Fritz, who is an alchemical genius. They are of the highest quality, and will be at their best if let alone in a cool, dry, dark area for 6-12 months before use. I have a personal stash of 1oz of this patchouli from last year’s batch, and it is orgasm-inducing. More will be made available over time as it is distilled. In the Vial: Patchouli overwhelmed with a nasty dank root cellar smell. Also something in the kind of like flat 7-Up. Dry: I used the lightest brush of the wand to apply. This will be a gorgeous rich full bodied patchouli, as stated, in 6 - 12 months. I can smell it in there, ready to burst forth and become a butterfly of patchouli. Right now it smells like patchouli in a bowl of macaroni into which someone threw some old dirty potatoes. I'll edit in several months, but no lie, this is going to be King of Patchoulis. ETA on 12/9/05: The imp is almost clear yellow now, before was very cloudy and looked clumpy. The scent is much the same but the patchouli is stronger and the whole scent is less musty, it is becoming clearer. Still strong macaroni, potato and 7Up notes though. But it is aging and doing its thing.

For me this is very faint with no throw. It smells an awful lot like lavender based men's cologne with resin and alcohol notes. It smells like... I dunno... Armani? Don't hold me to that. very nice though.

Very nice! This is sort of a medium strength fruit and honey, with a touch of spices. I think the imp will be enough, but it is a pleasant, rich scent, though I find the fruit note too candyfruit for me.

Sometimes for me, a scent just doesn't work out. This is a lot like Eve for me - wimpy, watered down, and just smells flabby. I do get watery honey, and some sort of fruitish water, but it's all so pale and lackluster on me. A swapper.

I have NO idea why, but I get a bitter herbal and musky peanut butter. Weird, but true.

I dunno, I do get the fruit, but it's kinda a wimpy watered down fruit. It has a nice sweet musky background though. I will try livening this up with some Fruit Moon and see what happens. Alone - too tame.

I find this curiously cool, pale and remote for something called Rapture. For me this is a light, cool rose on a bed of soft musk. Very "cool night air" feeling. Maybe a bit too much musk for me.

WOW the opium in this socks a punch! This is dark and smells of air... gorgeous smoky florals. GIANT success!!!!!!!

The Gnostic goddess of Wisdom. A solemn, deeply profound draught of lavender, soft musks, star jasmine, black rose, delphinium, and gentle spice. Lavender, florals... soft and nuanced and complex. Lovely. A tad herbal because of the lavender. Has a real depth. A keeper!

The vanilla and apricot in this are wonderful, and the jasmine adds a bit of depth and headiness, then the ginger comes and spikes up at you and wanders around being belligerent and pointy. It could mellow, this is so nice I am willing to let it age... hopefully it will.

Citrus, water, light floral... light and pretty and feminine. A bit musky. Very nice, a keeper.

Another super men's scent! I am loving these Come and Sees. This is warm and spicy with vanilla and an alcohol note. GORGEOUS.

Carnation, plum and musk, well blended so as to make one scent. It's a bright happy scent, sexy, playful, and feminine. I'd say it's mainly floral, with the plum as a topnote and the musk as a base. Very pretty and fun, but not enough to take my interest away from other scents.

Definitely a warm, amberous, golden scent. There's a powder note in here, and a spicy note, and a whiff of floral. but something for me down deep is bitter and unpleasant. May be skin chemistry, maybe the myrtle. I don't know, but for me it doesn't work.

Very interesting... intriguing, if you will. The cocoa and woods are definitely present, but there is also something a little sharp and tangy, maybe a quality in the wood? Anyway for me it's a tad too masculine, even without the tanginess.

The grass and berries and flowers all mingle to give me a tart sharp scent not terribly unlike lemon rind. Not a favorite.

Wow. So Coyote lives up to its name. I removed cap to apply, and the imp went skirling off into space, dumping 90% of its contents on me, the desk, the floor, the rug, and the wall probably. I could HEAR it cackling as it was spiralling. Anyway it smells like desert.

This starts out as that soapy "too concentrated flowers" smell. It dries down to a riotous, thick heady scent of white flowers, most notably jasmine, but the lily is definitely there. The musk is too, deep at the base and mildly, not taking over. The vanilla just adds a tinge of sweetness at the base along with it. I find this scent a floral with a subtle supporting base. Very nice.

Kitsune-Tsuki are malevolent Japanese spirits, akin to western werebeasts: women are possessed by the spirits of foxes, who compel them to perform acts of wickedness and mischief. Asian plum, orchid, daffodil, jasmine and white musk. This is gorgeous. The plum and florals are floating and heady, and sooooo pretty. A big bottle scent.

A little water, a little flower, and a watermelon, complete with green rind. Fun, not too sweet, and I love it.

Mostly leather, with a tinge of orange and amber, and yes, a bloom of florals all around it. But everything is based in leather. Too strong for me, maybe a "Get the Man to wear it" scent.

This is EXACTLy what the description says. Unfortunately, to me, the lollipops over the heady perfume is not a good mix, and they coexist uneasily and have a sharp bitter edge. Maybe too close to the real idea of jailbait and innocence defiled for me. Too sharp and cloying.

Very citrussy, a lot of orange peel and sour lemon. Fresh, but more like a household cleaner than a perfume.

Lemony, piney, nice and bright but slips often into body odor territory. It's interesting but doesn't work well with me.

Leather and myrrh... a LOT of myrrh, and I hate myrrh. Bye, Loviatar!!
