in the bottle: um..not sure, a sharp smell, but not unpleasant on me: still sharp, but warm, and definately animalistic, but not icky like civet. I got no roses (thank god!) and it had a decent throw. effects: i definately felt a little perkier and more playful, as i had been having a mopey day. I would what effect it would have if i was already perky.... overall: i really like the scent and would consider a 5ml. I think it's one of the Voodoos i'd actually use on a regular basis.

In the bottle: nice and green, w/an underlying warmth to it. kinda smells like a soap i had once. On me: still green, but more soapy smelling. the warmth is still there. there is definately some citrus to it, but some green teas can be more citrusy, so maybe that's it. I wonder the warmth is the oude or the white tea, having never worn a perfume w/either. I think i'll keep it around for summer, when it would be nice and refreshing. It's a little to aquatic for me to wear now. I do wonder what that warmth smell is, because i love that more than the top notes in this one. Perhaps i'll experiment w/some aging. overall: about a 3 on a 1-5 scale. nice, but not an everyday scent for me.

Earthy and wonderful, except i'm allergic to about half the ingredients. one sniff and my nose started screaming at me. There is a note underneath that like, after braving a second sniff...insensce? and dirt? i'm still afriad to wear it though. le sigh. Can there be an earth blend w/o pine or eucalyptus? off to the swaps...

eeh. this smells like jasmine. nothing but jasmine. well.....okay, jasmine soap, like at bath and body works. That wouldn't be bad, 'cept it makes me sneezy. i can see where the idea of honeysuckle is coming fromthough. i think i'm gonna put it away and try agin in the summer. edited cause i can't spell.

has anyone asked about gc equivalents to Devil's Night? it's my absolute fav, and not to hard to find at the moment, but i worry about the future....

i'm starting to see a trend in tabacco notes on my skin - they go sort of a sicky sweet smell that just ruins everything else. At first this smelled like rotten fruit, a think that's the plum and tabacoo, then it dried to what would have been an amazing musky spice if it hadn't still had that miasma of rotten something behind it. alas, off to the swap pile, to one of you who has fallen in love.

I got a bottle of Hearth '04 from a lab ebay auction. all i can smell in this one is Maraschino Cherries and a warmth that could only be Butter. This just reeks of it. It's possibly the strongest bpal scent i've worn ever, it's just radiated off of me. It was a nice scent but it became so overwhelming as to make me nauseous. I think it'll be in the trading pile. Normally tabbacco has a bit of a vanilla-y scent to me, this wasn't that at all, no smoke or leather really either. very dissapointing.

in the bottle this smell almost exactly like eden to me, that almondy-fruity smell. so yummy! after it drys the almond totally goes away and i'm left with a faint musky warm smell taht reminds me of insence. It's really wonderful. i love warm smells, and this is no execption. I don't think i'll be ordering a bottle, but i'm definately keeping the imp around for a long long time.

Ooh! love at first sniff! this is everything i hoped that Snake Oil would be but wasn't. It's just the right amount of heat and spice and sweetness, so yummy and just perfect. it smells a bit like amber to me, but w/o the initial powdery-ness that i get. and just so right. the spice is just around the edges as is the sweetness. it's so perfectly balanced. i will keep it for ever.....my own.....my preciousssssssss!!

wow. a lot of people have noted how strong this scent was. on me was a yummy juicy apricot scent with a hint of spice, but it did't stay long at all. The tea party scents seem to fade on me espescially fast. within an hour or so it was all gone. I love this scent, and i definately use my imp, but i'm sorry it'll be gone a lot faster than i'd like!

Lol! i got this scent for my friend because she loves rose scents. i dread them, since i'm deadly allergic, but this is one she can wear around me w/o my having to fear! it's so vanilla-y and spicey that teh roses get toned down some, it's jsut lovely! i'd never wear it myself, but i know i'll love it on her!

this is warm rich sunshine ina bottle! i love it. the amber only goes powdery on me for a few seconds before opening up into this rich full warmth. It kept me cheery all day, a perfect scent for those dark cold winter days i hate so much. And it lasted all day w/o reapplication. I'm so pleased with my imp, i'll definately need more!

Got a half imp of this by begging on the swap forums as it's my sign scent and i really wanted to try it. Sadly, i think i am disappointed. it smells so strongly of resin and cedar that i smell like forest exploded in a hampster cage. i might try again, with less inthe application, but i think my allergies just make me too allergic to it. so much for that. i guess i'll have to pass it onto another cappy.

ALMONDS!!! yummy! smells like marzipan! on me i get more of the coconut and fruit, esp. the fig, but overall it smells like warm almonds and touch of sweetness.

I loved this scent but it made me sneeze all day! The smell was gorgeous, sweet peach and rich vanlla, grounded with a hint of sandalwood. i don't intitally notice the heliotrope but i have a feeling that's what kept me sneezing, even though it was hiding in the peachy sweet goodness.

mmmm. juicy berries and some sweetness that must be the vanilla. just perfect. absolutely sexy and delicious. my skin totally amped the wine and the sweetness, but not the vanilla. seems to be a running trend here....

I soo wanted to love this! It faded so fast on me i can't remember what i smelled like! kinda of spicy tea w/a wierd scent that i think might be the linen after having smelt herr dross. I'll probably try it again just to be sure, but i think it's a swaper.

a kind of sicky sweet vanilla. like if candy could have sweaty feet. i know that sounds wierd but it sounds right to me. I love it! count me in the hoards of dorian hoarders as well.

This is the inquisition scent i wanted the least, and since i knew i was going to try and swap it i didn't test it out really, just sniffed it. and it smells exactlylike brownies and some kind of liquor, maybe chocolate liquor? i love the smell of brownies, but i sure as heck don't want to smell like one all day.

I just sniffed this one, and it got on my fingers a bit. i think it smells like midori and vanilla. very melony!

this is another one that so many people love that i just wasn't sure about. it was so faint on me and faded to nothing. i wonder if it's the vanilla the lab uses, as several of the fadey scents have had vanilla. ::shrug:: i think i'll try it again and attempt to slather a little more. i tend to skimp incase i end up allergic to something, so it's easier to wash off. i really want to love this one darnnit!

I was pleasantly suprised about this one. it was a frimp decant i got with a swap and i was orginally very leary of it. it just reeked of flowers (probably cause i got it w/honeymoon which is very flowery) i left it in my imp box for a month or so and finally decided that i liked tintagel so much which is also wine and leather that i ought to give this one a shot. At first is was very fruity, sweeter than tintagel and not as spicy, and then the leather came through. yum! it reminds a bit of dorian but with a kick. that same sort of sweet corruption smell. I don't know how much i'll wear it, but i'm sure glad i tried it. i think i'm going to try a lot more of the labs leather scents in the future.

So i was excited to try this, cause my friend nearly died over it. She left me to cell messages gushing and got cut off both times. lol! I love amber, though it does go to powder a bit at first on me, and i love vanilla so ihad high hopes. but overall it just went kinda of funky. it was niether amber or vanilla or powder but just blech.

the first thing i get is spiced wine. it smells that way on me for about an hour, then dies down to a spiced honey scent with a touch of leather. yum! i don't really get the dragon's blood except as a general warmth. i didn't get any florals or juniper and if i got berry it said wine to me. Overall it's like wassail. very warm and friendly but sexy too. i think it's my favorite at the moment.

i had been looking forward to trying the scent and got it as a frimp. I was hoping for that yummy smell you get when you put cloves into an orange. unfortunately i just smell like hotel soap. no orange or clove, just nameless florarls and herbs that make me sneeze and a powdery soapy scent. poo. one more to cross of the list and send to the swap pile.
