bottle: light floral, sortof sweet wet: same - sweet, medium/light floral (I see verbena in the description, crossing fingers it doesn't go soapy!) dry: this is NOT what I expected (I think I expected jailbait… just from the name) so far really nice. Not as sweet as wet. Pretty much honeysuckle and verbena now… maybe that's heliotrope rounding it off, keeping it less sweet? A few hours later, very faint, and totally different notes- almost vanilla/honey. (er, i put on snow white last night for bed- could it be?? still there over 13 hours later?? not sure) overall: this one's a keeper! Color me shocked! rating: 8/10

Sweet pea with stargazer lily, calla lily, heliotrope, honeysuckle, white musk and a touch of fresh pear. bottle: fruity floral wet: same! I can smell the honeysuckle, but can't smell other notes. dry: a light floral, very summery and feminine. Nice! A little heavy/sweet after a few hours, a little goes a long way. overall: I like it for a while, but after an hour or so it gets too strong. Nice but not for me. rating: 6/10

bottle: light musk and herbal/fruity wet: same, I think I can smell the fig/date… dry: no musk anymore, dark fruity (the fig/date), with herbs. Interesting… not sure what I think yet! It's unique - I actually think I like the fruits in it better than the herbs, which do come across as a little like musk… overall: very different, I like, but don't love it. We'll see how much use the imp gets! rating: 6/10

bottle: hint of mint/eucalyptus, herbal and floral wet: same as bottle really dry: wow… there's the eucalyptus, some pine, some strong herbs, and somehow a soft floral behind it to soften it all. Definitely as others say, a dark forest scent. Changes constantly between the various notes. overall: I like it! Not for everyday, but great for days I feel (or need to be) nasty to everyone! rating: 6/10

bottle: floral! (what can I say I don't know my floral notes… hehe) wet: floral! But - BUT - not too floral for me. YAY! Light blend of floral notes dry: oh that's jasmine! Now I can "pull" out that note. yay a pretty floral that I like!! A bit of fresh green in it helps a lot. overall: I love it! Although I may sacrifice some of this to enable my mother… <evil grin> rating: 8/10

bottle: like dragon's blood and vanilla wet: yum - this may be my favorite dragon's blood scent… the vanilla really calms it down and gives it a mild spicyness dry: gets milder and spicier at the same time? Is that possible? A really lovely blend. overall: this surpasses dragon's tears. Love it! rating: 9/10

bottle: almost lemony… wintery. wet: seems like lemon at first - but yes, that's an evergreen tree scent. dry: a mild evergreen scent- not too masculine. Nice, perfect for winter! overall: it's a nice scent but I don't see myself ever reaching for it. Maybe in winter. But that's a big maybe. rating: 4/10

bottle: fruity, some rose, sweet medium florals wet: a slightly spicy fruity scent, hint of vanilla, and some florals in the background. dry: stays pretty much the same - no more vanilla note, but soft spicy fruit/floral blend. I love this! overall: so far, so amazing! Must compare it with delerium when I get it, as it reminds me of that when I sampled someone elses. rating: 8/10

bottle: can't place any notes - almost bothers my nose/throat. Very sharp scent. wet: pungent, sharp - not pleasant at all to start with. Is it the bay that I don't like? maybe the laurel? dry: I can smell something good underneath what I don't like (which isn't as harsh now). But I can't wait around for it. I think I need to wash this off. overall: very first one I can't stand at all. Sigh. (bound to happen eventually!) rating: 2/10

bottle: fall spicy/incensey, smells like night. No strong food scents. wet: omgoddess.. Woodsy spicy goodness!!! I think I'm in love… dry: same! It's a little like kathmandu in the dry stage… I can't stop sniffing myself! Eventually some hints of fruit come out. overall: I like, although it's definitely more of an autumn scent! rating: 9/10

bottle: chocolate… mocha…. A llittle like a coffe shop but definitely chocolate! wet: chocolate cake batter, and cherries. (like my grandma's choc. cherry cake… dry: am I going to be hungry all day now? Ooo there's some orange peeking out. The sweetness has died off. Smells divine!!! Shucks disappears fast… overall: oh yeah. I'll be wearing this when I pms! rating: 8/10

bottle: light warm musk, slightly cinnamon wet: not cinnamon, but almond. A creamy blend with vanilla and almond. I can see why it's compared to snow white! dry: stays the same. Very light scent, comforting. overall: nice - would be great for a bedtime or comforting scent. I'll be getting more of this! rating: 8/10

(2005) bottle: light vanilla, hint of florals… wet: very light, not much throw. I still smell vanilla and very light florals… creamy. dry: reminds me a little of angel food cake. I can see why this is so popular! Barely there, a warm winter scent… but too warm to smell like snow. Smells more like snow LOOKS from inside by the fire! very comforting. Oh, it has a hint of my elusive "first boyfriend's car" scent - previously only a blend of vanilla and sandlewood came close. Not quite, but there's a hint of it in snow white. overall: I really do like it, but because it's so popular and not available, I may try to just live with the imp. Unless it's re-released of course! I love it, I admire Beth's outstanding accomplishment, but it's also not entirely "me". rating: 8/10 (well i picked up a second imp because i was already ordering from someone on the forum. if it's easy to find i probably will buy more when i run out!)

bottle: minty and sweet (floral sweet not foody sweet) oh my can't wait to see how this one morphs! wet: eucalyptus and mint! Just a little sweetness behind it. dry: now the violet comes out to play too - I don't know what neroli smells like. But wow - what a great blend! Reminds me of an evil old witch in a fairy tale, seems all innocent and helpless to lure in her victims, but you can sense the evil lurking…. overall: Like it but I have to be in the mood for it, I'm not so crazy about the violets, especially towards the end. rating: 6/10

bottle: oh now that's a floral good for me! Light, intriguing blend…. wet: like wildflowers but no grassy notes. I can't discern any of the floral notes listed, but I am reminded of lily of the valley. Really nice blend of light flowers! dry: Not much change - very creamy and light. Reminds me of a summer garden late at night. overall: nice, perfect floral for when I'm in those moods rating: 7/10

bottle: lemony and herbal, yum wet: more musky now, I like it but it has the premonition of soapiness dry: the muskiness is gone, this reminds me of shadow a lot. Still cautious about the hint of soap… over an hour later, it is SLIGHTLY soapy, but a good soap… must try this at different times of the month (since shadow changed dramatically that way!) overall: I like it but remain cautious about soap potential! rating: 7/10

yay i am sooo happy! ;o)

bottle: dragons blood (duh) and a marine hint wet: a fresh version of dragon's blood dry: still pretty much the same, nice and light yet still the dragon's blood essense. overall: great combo! Definitely a keeper. rating: 8/10

bottle: apples and hint of pumpkin, light combo of fruit/spice wet: fresh apples and apple pie dry: mild spices, I actually wish it stayed like it was wet! overall: all right but I'm not thrilled. Good thing I guess since it's no longer available! rating: 6/10

bottle: very musky and old/dusty smelling, with a hint of something else wet: very musky. dry: still very musky, with dried roses & lily of the valley almost. After several hours, it smells like a dusty dried floral arrangement overall: stronger/heavier than I prefer. I may pass this on. rating 4/10

bottle: heavier floral than I expected - I expected it to smell like shanghai did in the bottle wet: herbal and floral, with dragon's blood too. dry: as it dries it goes more herbal, and eventually the berries come out. Really nice! overall: Love it, would consider a bottle when I run out of the imp. rating: 9/10 ETA: loving this so much i'm bumping up the rating!

bottle: heavier - all I can think of is sweet pear wet: nice floral mix dry: I don't smell much more than floral notes, but there is a nice depth to this, and the floral isn't too strong, overall: nice, I like it. rating: 7/10

bottle: fresh mischeivous can't place notes… Wet: I layered it over shanghai when it went soapy - warm, spicy. Need to try it on own though. Second time: I don't get strong florals, but spicy… however there's also that "cat" scent, that last for the first hour or so that I don't like. Dry: eventually it hits a place where I like it, but overall I'm not a huge fan. overall: it's ok, but now that I've tried ones I really like, I just know it's not for me. rating: 3/10

in the bottle: cherries and flowers…tulips? Roses? wet: cherry cough drops! Just a bit of spice or cinnamon underneath… dry: the cherry mellows and gets spicier (the woods?) yummy. Didn't last long (3 hours) and I have a headache now (I think it's unrelated but I wanted to keep track of it here) overall: Nice, wish it would last longer, need to try again to make sure it didn't cause my headache! rating: 9/10 ETA: no, headaches are daily due to seasonal allergies. Upgrading this wonderful scent to a 9 rating!

in bottle: flowers, I think lotus? A cross between lily and carnation… wet: lemon with patchouli and woods dry: same but jasmine and rose are there now, a nice meditative mix. Went through brief nose tickle phase but it passed. At times this is heavier floral than I prefer. overall: nice, I'll try again but it's not what I was hoping for. rating: 6/10
