In The BottleCherry Sucrettes, or Cherry Blistex...something cherry and medicinal. Kinda icky. Wet On Cherry Whiskey!!! (or Cherry Brandy I suppose, just a very boozy cherry.) Still sorta icky. Dry Slightly fruity but mostly just warm and almost spicy. I don't really smell the cherry anymore, and I don't get much strawberry, I think I'm smelling mostly the Amber, musk, and vanilla, which is a shame because I was hoping for strawberry/cherry vanilla. It's still nice, but nothing for me to swoon over. I won't be getting a bottle, and I may later decide to swap the imp, but for now I'll keep it. I'll atleast give it a good slathering and a whole day's trial before I banish it to the swap pile for good.

In The Bottle Spicy orange!! I don't know where on earth I'm getting a spicy note from, but I swear it's there! Wet On Mmmm, yup, oranges and fig with just a little hint of something warm and almost-but-not-quite-spicy. Dry OMG does this ever smell yummy. Holy Oranges Batman!!! Oh this is good. This is very good. This one is going into the "buy a bottle of me!" pile. The mandarin and fig blends so much better than I ever thought they would, and I just cannot stop smelling my wrists. The scent makes me really happy. Somehow it seems like a warm, comforting, safe, fall scent, whereas I was expecting fresh spring or summer. If I had to describe it in one word - YUM.

In The Bottle Smells like NeoCitron. Wet On Yup, lemony with a bit of something....weird. Can't quite put my finger on it, but still smells quite a bit like NeoCitron. I mean, I like NeoCitron for when I'm sick, but I don't really wanna smell like it. Dry On me it smells a bit like Delirium, but not as sweet. I still get that lemon/rose thing going on though, with a bit more sharp floral to it. I honestly don't see how this is supposed to be alluring to the opposite sex, but I shall test it out on a certain cute boy and see what the results are. As it is now, I'd be much more likely to buy a bottle of Delirium than this. But we'll see.

In The Bottle smells very boozy, and like candy, rich yummy candy. Wet On Spicy sweet vanilla, rich and thick and warm and golden. Sweet but not too sweet. Very sexy. However there's a faint touch of something...almost medicinal...that's throwing me off. Dry Very appealing. It reminds me of something but I'm not sure what. I'm only wearing it on my wrists, I think I'll have to do a full slather to get the full effect. As it's drying more and more, it's smelling more like spice and less like vanilla, but it's still retaining it's seductive sweetness. There's still a weirdness I can't get past thought. I can see why this would be the most popular blend, though I have to admit it's not my own personal fave and I don't think I'll be getting a bottle. I will however, thoroughly enjoy the imp.

Voluptuous and indulgent! A deep chocolate scent, with black cherry and orange blossom. In The Bottle Very green (like grass or foliage) and chocolate. WEIRD. Wet On Mostly chocolate now, with a hint of floral and some green thrown in for good measure. Dry It smells a lot like Vixen actually. Must be the orange blossoms. I really can't smell the cherry at ALL. I'm sad that it doesn't smell more chocolatey on me. It just smells like Vixen's older, less sexy, deeper chocolatey sister. I was hoping it'd smell like chocolate and cherry. Hmmm. I'll use the imp, but I don't think it's bottle worthy. I think I'll have to find a different chocolate scent.

In The Bottle disgusting plasticy fake strawberry smell...like really old gum that's lost all it's flavour...oh gawd! Wet On Skin A little better, still plasticy, but much more fruity and rich. DryAll the notes are fairly well balanced, but somehow it doesn't really smell boozy, really rich and fruity though. It smells like fruit and Cool Whip!?! How weird is that? Very strong, and still a little plastic. I need to wear it for a while and then decide how I feel about it. ETA: the drydown is sort of nice, much softer and not plastic, but it has a slight musty smell. I think I'll use the imp, but I won't be buying a bottle. I really wanted to love this.

In The Bottle Very stronly og incense, and almost a little boozy. Sweet and warm. Wet On Skin Sweet and spicy, and not nearly as strong as I suspected. It smells almost foody, but don't ask me what food. Dry Mmmm, I can smell the spicy carnation now, and the sandalwood. It smells so freakin good! Sweet and warming and sort of sexy. Totally yummy. I may need a bottle of this. ETA: Unfortunately it was gone after a few hours, otherwise I'd be buying a bottle of this for sure! But I'd have to re-apply every few hours and it wouldn't be worth it for me.

In The Bottle Boozy and medicininal and yucky!! Wet On Skin Floral and aquatic, not what I was expecting at ALL. Dry It does smell like Lush's Sugar Plum/It's A Date as I'd hoped, but like a Sugar Plum that's in the water...there's still that aquatic note, I think from the ozone. Very lovely. I'll have to try it again at a different time of the month and see if my skin still amps up that ozone note. I like it a lot though. Yum. ETA: The longer I wear this the more beautiful it gets! It REALLY smells like Sugar Plum now, and I love it! The acquatic/ozone smell finally disappeared and I think I'm in heaven! I need a bottle of this.

In The Bottle Roses!! Ick. Me and roses don't get along, they always smell like soap on me. Wet Still rosey, but now with sharp, clear, sour, tangy lemon, yum! Dry as it first dried it smelled like rose but with Lemon Cake, and I loved it!! Sadly, on minutes later, it turned to mostly rose. Damn. Oh well. I think I'll keep the imp, but it doesn't smell like Lush's Amandopando on me the way I hoped it would. And I never smelled the apple. ETA: After wearing it for a little while longer (and slathering a bit more on!) It DOES smell like Amandopondo/Ring Of Roses from Lush!! Mmmm. I'm liking this a lot more. I may need a bottle.

In The Bottle Buttery and rich, not too sweet, very deep and yummy. Wet I really don't smell the Sandalwood, which is disappointing b/c I love Sandalwood. Still just Buttery Pumpkin. Dry A lot less buttery, Pumpkin with a weird...clean...almost floral note (the orris I guess? I don't really know what orris smells like) very nice, though I don't find it spicy, and it's beginning to go a bit 'musty'. I think perhaps Pumpkin doesn't like me much. Ah well, I shall swap it.

In The Bottle Smells STRONGLY of a cedar tree. Nothing else, just a tree. Wet I can start to smell the other notes as soon as it touches my skin, I can't smell the Olive leaf, but the Raspberry leaf is beautiful. Dry It reminds me of walking through the woods, hunting for wild raspberries. It's a slightly sweet cedar smell, and it reminds me of the very last few weeks of August, just before the summer is officially over, when the days are still long, and the sunlight rich and golden. I will cherish the imp, and wear it at the end of the summer, but I don't think I'll buy a bottle as it's not the sort of scent I would wear on an everyday basis. I do love it though, and I think it smells a bit like Intrigue, which I also love.

In the Bottle Oh boy, this is floral. I was hoping the incense would come out... Wet Wholly mother of....no, this is not one for me. I don't know why I thought something with both Jasmine and Rose would work for me...florals turn into "dead garden" on my skin. Dry Get it off!! This is the first one I've tried that I've had to go run and wash it off. Strong strong perfumey soap and dead flowers, and oh lord, just not for me!!! Well, there'll be more for the rest of you.

This one is not for me!! In The Bottle Smells pleasantly of orange flower. Very nice, feminine and soft. Wet Smells like Dimetap Cough Syrup!!! Uuugghhhh. Cry Well it smells like grape and mint and rosemary now, but still slightly like grape flavoured cough syrup, atleast enough to make me not ever want to wear it again. I really wanted to love this one too. Into the swap pile it goes!

Are we sure this stuff doesn't have Crack in it? OMG I could not stop sniffing myself!! Yes, it does smell a bit like Coca Cola, and a bit like gum, and it's cinnamonny and sweet, and just altogether wonderful!! It smells like candy. Highly addictive candy. The kind where you go to eat one and then end up eating the whole bag. And it works too! It's like it works on a subliminal level. Not one person noticed that I smelled good, but I got sooo much attention from both guys AND girls (Oh honey you look so good today, what did you do differently, did you cut your hair, is that a new shirt...on and on!!) It's like they didn't even realize why they were drawn to me....muahahahaha. I need a bottle of this stuff.

In The Bottle wonderful rich chocolate and hazlenut, buttery and yummy!! I don't even have to open the bottle to be able to smell it!! Wet On My Skin More nutty, can't even smell the pumpkin, still very rich and buttery. Dry Bahhh! It went all icky! Smells like slightly spicey nutty wet cardboard. Ick. Very stale and musty, sickly sweet. Not nice. Apparently this one just isn't for me, which is tragic since it smells so wonderful in the bottle.

In The Bottle Cinnamon with a hint of a clean soapy fragrance, not at all unpleasant. Wet On Skin Still just cinnamon and soap, but the cinnamon is getting hotter. Dry Mmm, now I smell the rose. Rose isn't a favourite scent of mine, in fact I normally dislike it strongly, but with the cinnamon it's quite nice. However while I find it appealing, it's not really sexy on my skin, just nice. Sophisticated. Not something I'd imagine a Harlot to wear, that's for sure, but I like it. Still smells very clean and soapy, I don't get any hint of dirty rose as others have. All in all, I think it's nice, and worth having the imp of but I doubt I'll ever get a bottle of it.

In The Bottle Peach, clove and incense. I kinda like it!! Wet On Skin Now I can smell the cinnamon and clove with a hint of incense. Don't like it as well as the scent in the vial. Dry Hmm, not what I hoped it would be. The peach is all gone and so is the clove and incense (I never smelled the patchouli in this) and now it pretty much smells like cinnamon and oranges, much like Lush's Oranges and Spice soap to my nose. A nice scent for winter, but I'm not sure that it's something I want to smell like. It's the type of thing I'd like to bathe with before bed and wake up and not smell like it anymore...I don't think I'll be wearing it out anywhere. Certainly won't be buying any more, it's just not my type of scent. I had hoped for a peach and cinnamon scent out of this.

In The Bottle Chocolate and fig, with just a hint of spicyness. Yummy, Wet On Skin Whoa, smells like a forest!! A big old cedar forest to be specific. Dry Hmmm, still smells mostly of cedar on me, with just a hint of something sweet, could be the cocoa or fig I guess. I have to agree that the name suites it, as the scent intrigues me. It remids me of walking a cool forest path on a hot summer day. I like it, but I think I'll save it for summer.

I can't descibe the way this actually smells to me, because I've never smelled Frankincense or Myrrh by themselves. It is incensey and deep, but I find it clean rather than murky. I've been in few churches, and can't say that I ever remember one smelling of anything in particular, so this scent isn't related to a church to me at all. Instead it brings back half forgotten memories. Reminds me of playing hide and seek in an ancient forest, sunlight and shadow dappling the gound and the sound of ghostly laughter floating just beyond reach. A dreamy smell that I can't describe very well, it's more of a feeling than anything. Peaceful and quiet, with a stirring of mystery, and something slightly forbidden. It feels like something I've always known, if that makes any sense. I'm not sure if I need to get a big bottle or not. It's not something that I feel I should wear on a regular basis, I think only for special occasions.

In the Bottle Sweet and dark and rich. I can smell the patchouli and the ginger, and it smells a little like a mens cologne! Wet on Skin It gets sweeter and loses the mens cologne thing it had going on in the bottle. I can smell the orange blossom now..mmm...sexy! Dry Makes me feel like a sex kitten. This stuff is hot!! The notes are really well blended, and on my skin I can't smell one more than the others. I can tell this stuff is going to drive the boys crazy!

In The Bottle Very green and floral, I can really smell the sage and a bit of tea and a bit of musk. Wet on My Skin still floral, but much sweeter. Very light and not too cloying or sickly sweet. Dry Mmm, all I can really smell now is berry!! It's very sweet, like candy, with just a hint of floral. I think I mostly smell blackberry or blueberry. Yumm! Altogether I really like it!! I don't think I'll wear it much in winter, seems more like a nice light summery scent. And while I don't really find it "Bewitching" in that sense, I think it's lovely all the same!

In the Vial- very sweet!! Then as I pull my nose away I can smell something green and something floral. Can't smell ANY patchouli. On my skin- At first still sweet, but immediately it becomes deeper and sort of musty smelling. After about 30 seconds it's beginning to smell like incense and...soap! But not in a bad way! I quite like it so far. It really reminds me of a shop in my home town called International Bazaar. There was incense burning and they sold all sorts of neat things... Hmmm I can't pick out the carnation at all!! After a while- it's lost all the mustyness, and has gotten a little sweeter again. But it still smells like incense and soap..I don't really smell any spices even. All in all, I like it, don't think it'll be a favourite, but I can see wearing it when I'm homesick, it reminds me sooo much of that store!
