Oooohhh, this scent is ME. In the imp Carnal is enticing and light, orangey with a pale spice. Once applied, it is a bright, juicy mandarin for only a few minutes. Then it dries, and the sweet spicy fig blends beautifully with the mandarin for a smell that reminds me of Christmas, candlelit at dusk. I love it, love it, love it. I cannot stop smelling myself. I only wish that Carnal had more staying power, it is mostly gone in about 2 hours.
I would say this is a candle-y scent, but many times have I sniffed a candle in the shop then surreptitiously rubbed it on my wrist...
EDIT - I took my oils out to visit my mom today. After ONE MEASLY WHIFF of this she promptly got misty, then burst right into tears!!! Apparently it brought back wonderful memories of another time, another place and she loved it.
