In the imp: This is really promising! I love the scent of oranges, and that's what I mainly get from the imp. Juicy oranges! Wet: It smells mainly like it did in the imp, juicy oranges with a spicy note...maybe ginger or clove? Dry: Ugh, this is terrible on me! My skin chemistry ruined it. It went rather odd and cough-syrupy on me. Too bad, because it was promising in the imp!

This is a very clean, floral scent. When it is first sprayed, it has a bit of a soapy scent to it, but that quickly disappears as it settles, and the florals come out. I didn't think this one was as strong as the other atmosphere sprays that I own, until I went to a restaurant, came back home, and found that the house smelled really strongly of florals. This is a wonderful springtime scent! I'm very happy to own a bottle.

In the imp: Something in this reminds me of Lush's Blousey shampoo with a bit of citrus. On the skin: Very herby, somewhat citrusy, a bit spicy. It's a very in-your-face herbal scent, but the citrus component seems to come out more with time. I think geranium is probably the most prominent note in this...I don't get the chamomile some other reviewers have mentioned. I think there may be some fennel in this as well. It does seem to have a calming effect, but I think I'll just keep my imp and pass on a bottle.

I applied Midnight on the Midway on Friday evening. It is now Saturday evening, and it has already chipped. However, I did not use a top coat. The color is beautiful (a shimmery plum), but, like the above viewer said, it is streaky/ridged on the nails. I applied two coats to get the color that is seen in the bottle. This is the first BPTP claw polish that I've tried (I also have Blood Countess and Lady Macbeth). I hope that those polishes are stronger. I do think this is a lovely, shimmery plum, though!

In the imp: Chocolate (not a creamy, milk chocolate, though), cedar, and pistachio Wet: Cedar and pistachio? The chocolate was hardly there at all as soon as I applied it. Dry: It seemed to become more masculine as time went by! Cedar and oakmoss were the prominent notes...no mint or chocolate to be found. Verdict: This was too masculine for me. I was hoping for more chocolate out of this one, so I won't be purchasing a full bottle. Retest, after the imp has aged for five years: In the imp: Chocolate (more of a thin, dark chocolate on an after-dinner mint), mint, and cedar, with a bit of pistachio. Wet: Light chocolate and soft mint, with a bit of vanilla and cedar. The scent is really, really light on me. After a bit, the cedar begins to gain strength, and I can also smell some of the pistachio and oakmoss. Dry: This remains a rather light scent, but it mainly smells like a chocolate, mint, and vanilla-tinged cedar and oakmoss scent on me now. When the imp was fresh, I mostly just got the cedar and green notes, and the sweet notes disappeared pretty much instantly. The scent is a lot different now. I'd say it's Tombstone's whimsical cousin. Verdict: Aging has done wonders for this one. I didn't really care for it back in 2013, but now I really enjoy it! I just wish it were a little stronger. I'm either going to start collecting imps of this to age, or get a bottle to start aging.
