    Zombi

    I received this as a freebie in an eBay transaction, and it seems to want out of the imp. I've tried it twice and it leaked all over the place both times. An initial impression of dust is replaced by soil, then overwhelmed by roses. These are no sweet Valentine's Day roses, either. They're over-ripe, overpowering, decaying, bold roses. I've now worn it for about two hours and it has faded into a nice rose scent. It's not one of my favorites (yet), but I think I'll be wearing it again.

    Twilight

    I thought I loved all the ingredients in the description and put it on my must-try list. When I saw it on a forum swap, I grabbed it and tried it as my very first bpal. It came across as very strong floral soap to my untrained nose and then faded within a few hours. It wasn't the smell I was looking for. I keep trying it every week or two to see if I develop a nose for it, but I've found other blends that I like better.

    Rapture

    I received this yesterday in my first-ever batch of imps. I knew I liked rose - I still have a tiny bottle of rose oil that I received almost half a lifetime ago for my 16th birthday. The rose smell came out strongly to my untrained nose. As it dried, I could detect something warm and woody. I keep wanting to say it's something between cinnamon and sandalwood. I suppose that's the myrrh or musk? I remember someone compared it to an afterglow, and I have to agree - a warm, snuggling afterglow. After 3 hours, it's a faint, pleasant smell. This is one I'll definitely wear again.
