This oil is one of my favorites so far! Unfortunately, there is some variation between batches - the imp that I initially bought has a very strong fir scent, whereas the bottle and second imp that I bought afterwards have almost no fir. In all of them, I can smell the hyacinth and jasmine, with the jasmine sort of forming a background for the hyacinth. But without the strong fir smell, the hyacinth becomes a bit overpowering, and it smells oddly like bubblegum if I concentrate on picking out individual notes. That's not a terrible thing, because it's a cute, spring-like scent; it's just that the fir made it more unique and sophisticated. I'm thinking that I might try and layer this with another oil that has fir or pine as a dominant note. For now, though, I'm hoarding that first imp for special occasions.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that! If all else fails, I'll just order another imp to compare the two.

It might actually be Danube. I just got an imp from the lab, and it smells nothing like the scent description, or what other reviewers have said. For me, it's a sort of warm, spicy, pungent smell (in a nice but very unusual way). It feels like a deep reddish brown colour. I don't know about tobacco, and have never smelled black musk, but what you wrote reminded me of how Danube smells on me. I wonder if we both just amp a certain note?
