Maleficium

Very floral. Apples, blossoms, and honey swirl together in a lovely scent. It's very fruity and light and pretty, but it isn't for me. I like my scents dark and foreboding!

What a sexy scent! Musky, clovey and I do smell a hint of pepper. It's very woody and smells a tad like a wooden box that incense is kept in. Will totally buy a bottle!

imp: plum, wet fruit. wet on skin: rush of maracino cherry and almond. reminds me of a sweet syrup that one would use for coffee beverages. dry down: berries, something musky. I can't really pick out individual notes anymore. this is a fruity, sticky scent. It smells nice but it's not for me. Off to swaps you go...

imp: sticky resiny dragons blood wet on skin: something sweet commands my attention and overwhelms the resinyness. dry down: something unnameable spicy/herbal quite lovely actually, even though i don't normally fancy dragons blood. i'll enjoy this imp but probably won't be buying a bottle.

imp: very right apricot rubbed in dirt. Yep that's a dirty fruit smell. wet on skin: a sexy spicy patchouli, not too strong. the balance of sweet and spicy is quite lovely. dry down: these scents intermingle in the most delicious of ways. it becomes spicier and musky as it dries, but there is still a hint of sweet apricot. the juxtoposition of these two scents is wonderful, i couldn't ask anything more from this scent. I just wish it lasted a littler longer. All in all it's an every day scent for me, and works really wonderfully on my skin. It's sexy and dark and there's something subtly dangerous about it... Entertaining of asking for a bottle of this for Yule...

imp: very very orange blossom! wet: blossom and a light sandalwood appears. After about a minute it starts to remind me of a clean but musky incense. dry: light and pretty but still has enough musk/incense smell for me to love it. this is lovely for warm summer days!

imp: strong, musky, dark petals. this really does conjure images of black roses. wet: wow yeah, definitely getting some cucumber from this. dry: spicy and musky. I normally hate rose, but I'm keeping this for now. It's really smoky and dark just how I like without being overwhelmingly floral.

Like most of the others said, this is jasmine like woah. Not into it. The jasmine is super strong and I can barely smell any honey, even after waiting for about 40 minutes.

Not a fan. Lily does horrible things with my skin and turns into a cloying headache inducing smell. I wore this for about five to ten minutes and had to wash it off, it hurt my nose.

Wow. imp: smells like a crushed leaf or a freshly snapped twig. wet: the very same, but some sort of blossom-y smell subtly makes its way to the surface. I kind smell the honey about 30 seconds in, it's there but very faint. It's got kind of a bitterness to it, but not a bitterness that is intruding or unpleasant. There is also lemon here, but not in a really citrus-y way. Smells like a little bit of shredded lemon peel. This scent makes me feel and smell like a wood fae. It's quite lovely.

imp: orange, iron and salt wet: even more salty and something ocean-y makes an appearance. something sea-plant-y. dry: not normally a fan of watery fresh smells, but this one is quite nice. throws just enough and has a lovely but sexy vibe to it.

Imp: I thought I smelled lily but I guess that's plumeria. Wet and bubbly and sweetly floral in the imp. Wet: Almost immediately turns soapy. dry down: mellows down a little bit. I can smell something green and fruity, but it doesn't really remind me of pears. Maybe candied pears. all in all, it's not a scent for me. it's very light and happy and floral, not really my thing.

Imp: sour upturned earth. Instantly reminds me of the first time I took a whiff of Deep In Earth. It's got a very tangy and biting scent to it. wet: intense. smells like fir, wood, earth and moss. So far the description has been very accurate. A dark forest in the middle of summer while you're being followed by something that is sure to cause you harm.... dry down: still sharp and intense. Starts to smell like some strange and poisonous plant. I dig it. It's a very strange and unusual scent, and a really unconventional choice for a perfume. I will give this a few more tries and enjoy the imp but I'm not sure if I'd buy a bottle. A little bit of this oil goes a very long way for me. The throw is very powerful! My roommate asked me what that smell was from a room away, and I only put on a dab!

Imp: a wooden box and salty air, foamy waves. Wet on skin: Oh hi there copious amounts of spiced rum! Smells like cloves, and a wooden box that's had lots of alcohol spilled on it for many years. Something dusty and floral, I guess that's the prostitute perfume. dry down: woody, sweet and boozy with a hint of something sweet. Yep, I'm keeping this one. Edit: I'm DEFINITELY keeping this one. I want to buy five bottles like right now!!

Hmmm I don't know what half of these things are but I guess I'm about to find out! Imp: sharp, peppery, and spicy! Before reading what others had posted I immediately though of some spicy curry dish. wet: woodsy and even spicier! becomes very smoky on my skin. closing my eyes i can picture a crumbling ancient book on an obsidian table in the high tower of some mage.... definitely getting a big whiff of resin too. i am loving this so far. further sniffing unearths some sort of herbal concoction. it is not a specific herb, more like a bag of herbs with magical qualities. maybe a little lavender and dill in there too... dry down: warmer and smokier, as if it is the charred remnants of the aforementioned book and bag of herbs. Slightly dusty. I adore this scent, and will someday end up buying a big bottle.

Imp: booze and butter! Boy do I love me some food smells. wet on skin: coconut immediately makes an appearance. Reminds me of hot summer days, and I am glad because it's freezing in my house and the scent warms me. A few minutes after application it starts to morph into an ultra toasty smell, like almond butter coconut cookies. after a while of drying: I do indeed smell a hint of tobacco. This scent is more complex and layered than other's I've tried, or maybe it's because I can actually identify what I am smelling this time. Love this! It's only been about fifteen minutes, I'm hoping it lasts longer than what other people have said...

Imp: first thing I smelled was wine. wet: the rose immediately wakes up and jumps out of the bottle of wine. not in an intrusive way either. it smells resiny and soft, and quite wonderful! dry: resin, and soft rose. A delicately powerful and sensual smell, if that makes any sense. I love this!

The scent of sexual obsession, slavery to sensual pleasure, and the undercurrent of innocence defiled utterly. Amber and honey with a touch of vanilla. imp: vanilla honey. YUMMY! wet: Thick, sticky honey. dry down: more resiny...uh oh I smell play doh! My boyfriend took once sniff and said "yep that's play-doh" Now it smells like salty vanilla. NOOOOO so much playdoh! I wonder what note causes this? I'm not experienced enough to know, but hopefully I'll find out soon enough. It can't be the honey, I've tried that note in other scents and have loved them. Sad, this scent smelled absolutely amazing in the imp and while it was wet.

Imp: Wet soapy fresh bodywash smell. Meh. But I'll give it a try anyway Wet: much better on my skin. I think...orchid? I don't smell any juniper or anything patchouli. It turns soft and light on my skin, reminds me of the month of may. dry: still very soapy and floral. Not for me.

imp: wet lavender and jasmine wet on skin: an explosion of the aforementioned flowers. quite pleasant actually, and this is coming from someone who hates florals. it reminds me of hot summer nights and thick humid air. this is definitely a summer scent. i would wear this on occasions that call for light girly dresses (which i rarely wear haha) and walks through parks...or something dry: during the dry down process it becomes very sweet and slightly cloying, but i think i dabbed a little bit too much on my wrist. this is one of those scents where a little bit goes a really long way! it's been about ten minutes and it throws quite far. There is a spicyness to the floral, a scent I can't really put my nose on. It's lovely but I can't ever imagine myself wearing it.

imp: watery perfumey floral wet on skin: straight up laundry detergent AND shampoo, both at once and very strong. :/ dry: smells much too like a cologne/perfume to me. I'm not getting mist or dew at all. I'm a little sad, the description sounded lovely!

IMP: herbal and sweet with a little bit of booze WET ON SKIN: spicy and herbal, i don't really smell much floral aside from the lavender. DRYDOWN: ooh I smell the absinthe now! Other than that it's not very boozy anymore.

IMP: leather, amber, musk and smoke. WET ON SKIN: leather, but defnitely not as masculine and dark as Iago. I'm not sure what other smell I'm identifying here, but it is prominent, dark and wonderful. Something else is rising dark and sweet, like...shaving cream but in a good way. Warm, sexy and spicy! DRY DOWN: Drys to a warm, tobacco leather smell. There's something else I'm smelling, but again I do not know how to articulate it. This is a much fresher leather scent. The only other one I've smelled is Iago, and while I was very very into that scent it was a little too masculine. This one is lighter, sweeter and more subtle and I could imagine myself wearing it often. will certainly put it on my list of big bottles to buy

IMP: A lush garden WET ON SKIN: Green, thick and fruity with a hint of citrus. It's really quite lovely. Not smelling anything but wildflowers. To me, it's evocative of a bright spring garden that's just bloomed with maybe... wet new sprigs/branches? DRY DOWN: Starts to smell like an ocean-y blue men's cologne. Verdict: This doesn't really work on me. Back to swappies!

IMP: pepper and musk Wet on Skin: Lily and floral and lighter on my skin than in the bottle. Smells both tart and sweet. About a minute in I can definitely smell the mandarin. Dry down: More lily and not a lot else. Unfortunately I don't think the lily works well on me, as it seems to turn into a smell that I can only associate with laundry detergent. About ten minutes in it's all soap. The pepper pokes out a little bit too. Verdict: pretty, but not for me.
