I was very curious about this one. Thanks to Mandragora for the chance to try it! This started off dark and fruity with a little wine which I liked. Also very sweet. Then I could smell a little almond. Then it became a sweet warm vanilla. I wasn't expecting that at all! Smells good and yummy, but as I love fruit scents, I was sad that the fruit didn't stay. I think this one morphed the most on me out of all the imps I've tried so far. I'll have to try it in a locket.

Thanks for the tips! I got the locket super cheap at a girl's costume jewelry store so I'll probably pick up a few others then.

I just got a locket and am wearing carnal in it. It's great since I love the smell but it doesn't last long on me. Anyway, my question is how do you clean the locket before putting another scent in? I'm guessing it's best to do it with alcohol and let it dry a while. Does anybody have tips?

I was hoping for something that smelled more like fresh apple, but this came out as a more of a baked apple on me too. Also something smelled a bit "perfumey" which I think was the dark amber. Not really my cup of tea. Oh, well. Time to swap!

Thanks for the suggestion!

My aunt really likes Calyx by Prescriptives but says it doesn't last long on her. I want to ger her BPAL! What is most similar to Calyx and also has staying power? I saw Embalming Fluid is mentioned as similar. Any other suggestions?

This just didn't end up working for me because of the jasmine. I learned from Phantasm that I shouldn't wear jasmine. It dominated the whole scent and was just too cloying for me. Sad, because I really was wanting to smell the green tea. I'm expecting some Shanghai now, which I hope will fulfill my green tea dreams!

This was disappointing to me because it ended up being very heavy and too sweet. I was really looking forward to a sophisticated, bubbly, fun strawberry. Sadly, I didn't get any champagne and the strawberry was more like strawberry incense. It also turned powdery. I guess bad chemistry strikes again. However there is hope for those like me! I just got Swank and it smells like I was hoping Bon Vivant would. Give Swank a try if Bon Vivant strikes out with you.

Awesome! This is what I was hoping for in Bon Vivant (which turned to oversweet, powdery/strawberry incense on me). Fruity, sweet, light, and bubbly. Love it!

This may be the one I like best so far! I wanted to jump into the bottle when I sniffed it! I'm a fan of fruity fragrances and this one takes the cake in that department. Now to see if it lasts...

Sweet, bright, and juicy. It is like fruity candy or smarties a bit. But then every once in a while a sharper, darker, more sophisticated scent emerges. I guess that's the neroli? I'm enjoying it!

Yummy, sweet, and warm are the words I'd describe Carnal with. I wasn't sure how I'd like fig but it worked out. Next time, I'll put more on though, it didn't last as long as I would have liked on me.

Out of the first set of imps I got I think this is my fave. I put it on for a rainy day and it was perfect! Sweet and comforting but not too sweet. Just delicious. I love berries!
