I wore Dorian for a tea party with my mom!

Lemon!! When I first opened the imp and spread it on my skin, all I could smell was this fantastic lemon. It's super fresh/zesty, and it seemed almost tingly or effervescent to me. Then the lavender got involved, and they had a nice, balanced relationship. The lavender got a bit soapy, but maybe that's just me. When I picked this one, I was kind of hoping for it to be like Cheshire Moon but with lemon, but it comes off much brighter! It seems perfect for summer, but I don't think I'll be needing a full bottle.

Love is complicated! I really liked the way it started off! I thought it was love at first sniff. It was warm and cuddly - the kind of vanilla that makes me think of the holidays and buttered (unsalted) popcorn. Then, out of nowhere, the rose and strawberry attacked! I was all confused! I was just about to settle into this comfy, sweet scent, and BAM! Nose confusion! It became mostly rose with random hints of vanilla. Anyway, I think it's just like for now. I'll have to wear it a few more times to decide if it's Love.

I love strawberries! I want to try every strawberry scent that ever... was? Anyway, wet, this is juicy, sweet, and realistic strawberry! I loved it! As it dried, the rose came out and took over! Oh noes!! If I sniffed my wrist too close, I'd start to feel a little sick. From an army's distance, though, it seemed nice enough. I wanted to love this so hard, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

This smells wonderful and deep/dark/sweet on me... for about 20 minutes. I lost this wonderfulness too soon

I grabbed a random imp for testing, and today it was Burial! Wet, on my skin, it was really fresh. Judging from the name, I was expecting something dark or heavy, but this was a totally different interpretation of burials! As it dried, the florals came out strongly, and there seems to be something incense-y in the background. Interesting scent, but probably not for me.

My first review! Wee!! At first, it was sharp and woody, but it quickly went powdery sweet. For the first 15 minutes, it kind of went back and forth, but settled into something nice in between. I liked it!
