at first: a super-strong, very heavy, sweet coconut. wonderful! on: sweet and almost crispy, like dried coconut. 2 hours later: creamier. more of a "normal" coconut smell, not the dried scent. 6.5 hours later: powdery and light. really nice. overall: this is just beautiful. i'll definitely be layering it with other scents, but it's very nice on its own, too.

at first: tequila?!? on: reminds me of xmas. lots of cinnamon. however, there's still that tequila note to it. half an hour later: cinnamon, but a softer cinnamon, not biting. 2 hours later: still that soft cinnamon. very nice. 4 hours later: i still smell very fainty of cinnamon. overall: i can't believe that this one didn't burn when i put it on. i really like that the cinnamon isn't too intense.
-
at first: earthy. i think i smell patchouli. on: i don't think i'll like this. it's very strong. half an hour later: not as sweet. still a bit fruity, though. more earthy than before. 2 hours later: mostly earthy, but nice. 4 hours later: still very, very strong. just that intense, earthy smell. overall: i don't know if i'll be in the mood for this scent often, but it's definitely very different from the rest of the oils i have.

at first: wow. very strong and unpleasant. acrid. on: weird. i can't really pick any notes out of it. i don't like it, though. half an hour later: i think i may smell dragon's blood and maybe cinnamon or clove. very nice. 2 hours later: i'm still smelling dragon's blood, cinnamon, and clove. very interesting and very red. 4 hours later: i think i'm mostly getting clove and a bit of dragon's blood. overall: this was very nice, but not something i would wear often.
-
at first: sweet and a bit sour. on: very nice. it reminds me of a fruit that i can't quite place. possibly starfruit. half an hour late: still a fabulous fruit scent. 2 hours later: a bit floral now, but still mostly fruity. 4 hours later: powdery and more floral. very nice. overall: this scent is very unique. i love the fruit note that is most prevalent at the beginning. a great scent.
-
at first: a sharp floral scent, with a lot of other notes. on: i can't describe it. it may be fruity or citrussy. 1 hour later: i think i may be smelling patchouli or violet. odd, but pretty. 3 hours later: still odd, but i like it. i still can't pick out any specific notes. 6 hours later: very light and soft. once again, i pick out the notes, but i like it. overall: well, i like this, but i don't know why.
-
at first: wood? maybe salty water? i'm not really sure. on: smells soapy. i think there's some wood notes, too, but i'm not sure. 1 hour later: very sharp and floral. not at all what i was expecting. 3 hours later: much softer, which is good. i can't pick out any notes, but it's a nice, slightly powdery floral. 6 hours later: very soft, but nice. i think i'm smelling a touch of a sweet floral. overall: this is hard to pin down, but nice. i'm glad i got to try it.
-
at first: straight-up clove. fantastic. on: beautiful. i love the smell of cloves. 3 hours later: very light. i can just barely smell it. still nice, though. 5.5 hours later: i can't really smell this anymore. overall: this is simply beautiful. needless to say, if someone likes the smell of cloves, they'll love this.
-
at first: this was included as a freebie in my order. this is gorgeous. then again, how can you go wrong with clove and apricot? on: fabulous. juicy and fruity. this is wonderful. 1 hour later: wonderful. a bit sweeter, but still mostly juicy fruits. 7 hours later: darker now, almost a hint of smokiness. i guess that's the clove coming out. a lot lighter, but still nice. overall: love it! i may have to get a 5ml of this at some point. it's just delicious. i really like juicy scents wiht something darker underneath.
-
at first: violet, but with something herbal underneath. on: smells like...parsley? there's violet there, too, but...weird. it also has the almost-cloying nature of violet. 1.5 hours later: why is this so weird on me? i'm getting something salty now. sigh... 3 hours later: now, it's soapy. i think i may have to mix this with something sweet in order for it to work on me. overall: the jury is still out on this one. i guess i'm better off with violet blends at the moment.
-
at first: i'm smelling nutmeg and pine. fabulous. very xmas-y. on: wow. lots of pine and warm spices. the pine is first, with the spices following it. xmas to the max. 1 hour later: the spices are the first thing i smell now, but the pine is still strong. this is so festive! 2 hours later: i can just barely smell this now, unfortunately. overall: i love this and will definitely be wearing it xmas eve. however, i'm going to positively slather it on to make it last longer.

at first: definitely gingerbread, but not overly sweet like cookies. more like ginger biscuits one would have with tea. i'm not sure i'll like this on. on: not sweet. just gingerbread. it burned my neck a bit when i put it on, but i should know better than to apply spicy oils in sensitive areas. 1.5 hours later: so spicy and wonderful. i really like this. 4 hours later: this is still really strong. i can smell it wafting around me. it's very warm, but not too heavy. very festive. i love the spiciness of it. it's great. 7.5 hours later: still strong, but staying closer to my skin now. overall: wonderful! i'm so glad i bought this. i'm also really happy that it isn't sweet. a great, festive scent.
-
at first: this is ridiculously perfect. i mean, just fresh-cut roses. i LOVE this. on: oh my goddess! this is beautiful. a perfect, fresh-cut rose. it's amazing. 2 hours later: still beautiful. almost sweet, but not quite. i love this. it's simply and gorgeous. 3.5 hours later: lighter, but still there. the scent itself hasn't changed, just the intensity of it. i love this. it's so fabulously womanly. overall: i'd probably slather this on in order for it to remain stronger longer, but i love it. i wasn't going to get it, but i'm so happy i did.

at first: light and fresh. it smells clear and clean. definitely grapefruit, but i can't tell what else is in there. on: wow. lots of grapefuit, with a lot of other stuff going on. it's really strong, but i like it. 1 hour later: softer, but still sharp on me. i like it, but i can't pick any of the notes out. very clean-smelling. 4 hours later: a little lighter, but still strong. it's a bit more powdery and almost a tad sweet. i like this. 6 hours later: i can just barely smell this, but it lasted very well for having so much citrus in it. overall: i am so glad i ordered this. it's really nice and very different from anything else i have. grapefruit is always fabulous and the scent, as a whole, is gorgeous.
-
at first: super sugary and fruity. candy-like. fabulous. on: sweet, but not as fruity as in the bottle. 1 hour later: just gorgeous. soft, sweet fruits. i really like this. it reminds me of a fruity version of snow white. 2.5 hours later: softer, but still beautiful. definitely sugar plums. 4 hours later: still strong. i love this. it's still sweet and fruity, but not cloying at all. overall: i'm so glad i bought this. it's definitely festive, but i think it's light enough for me to wear even in warmer months. a definite keeper.
-
at first: a sweet mint, but with a hint of something else. i almost think i smell a bit of anise. on: mint, but a nice, sweet mint. i think i smell eucalyptus, too. very nice. 2 hours later: more of a true, herbal mint. i can still get a hint of the eucalytpus, but it's not as strong. 4 hours later: now, it's just a light scent, and th enotes seem to be blended too well to really pick them out. overall: this is a perfect winter scent. the eucalyptus isn't too strong, which is good. a lovely scent.
-
jester at first: very, very sweet fruits. on: i'm getting very sugary, fruity bubblegum. i really like this. 1 hour later: smells like sangra. fabulous. 4 hours later: i really like this. it isn't as sweet, but it's still very fruity. 8.5 hours later: this there. a bit lighter, but still lasting pretty well. overall: this is fantastic on me. great when i want something sweet and fruity, but more grown up. i don't know if i'd invest in a bottle, but i'll definitely be making sure i keep an imp around.
-
zephyr at first: yellow and white. floral, but with a lot else going on. on: very clean. a nice scent. soft, but not weak. i can't pick out any notes, but it smells floral. 1 hour later: beautiful. powdery and floral. 4 hours later: perfume-y, but a bit sweet, too. this is lasting really well. 8.5 hours later: a light, powdery, sweet, slightly soapy floral. overall: this is nice, but i'm not sure i'll get it again. i'll definitely enjoy using up my imp.
-
jailbait at first: totally strong, pink bubblegum. on: fabulous. definitely that cheap bubblegum from the 80s. however, i also get a sharp citrus note. weird, but i like it. 1 hour later: this is almost almondy on me now. 2 hours later: still sweet, but very light. i wish this were stronger on me. overall: i really like this, but i'll definitely need to put a lot on in order for it to last. it's like a more naive version of formula 54, and i might buy a bottle of this once i finish up my bottle of that.

titania at first: the lab threw this in as a freebie. this is gorgeous! i smell the grape, pear, and peach, but also get the sweet, watery florals. beautiful. on: fruity, but kind of dry, like a fruity body spray that a little girl would wear. 1 hour later: lovely. this reminds me of being a kid. 3 hours later: it still has that slightly alcohol-y smell to it, like a body spray. i like it, though. 7.5 hours later: still light and fruity. this is lasting pretty well. overall: i like this one, but i'm not positive if i'd repurchase it. it's a nice, light, sweet, fruity scent for summer, i think.
-
hurricane at first: weird. i think i just smell vetivert. on: wow. almost sweet, but the vertivert takes care of it being truly sweet. simple, but interesting. 1 hour later: less sweet now and more of the tangy scent from the description. i still like it. 2 hours later: very fresh. reminds me a bit of being by the ocean. this is fabulous. 3 hours later: so clean and refreshing, but intense, too. wonderful. overall: i wasn't sure i'd like this, but i really do. this will be fabulous on warmer days or when i need something refreshing.

saturnalia Unrestrained revelry, unchained licentiousness! Violet deepened with vetiver. at first: wow. i don't like this. i think the combination of violet and vetiver don't work for my nose. on: gross. seriously. it just smells bad. 1 hour later: i still don't smell any violet in this. it isn't as offensive as it was when i first put it on, but it still isn't good on me 2 hours later: this reminds me of leaves or something right now. 3 hours later: smells generally wood-like on me now. overall: this is so not for me. i wish i could smell the violet, but i couldn't. oh, well.

kabuki at first: the lab included this as a freebie with my order. really, really sweet. all i smell is maraschino cherries. fabulous. on: really, really sweet. i love this. i smell the anise, too. this is really decadent and gorgeous. 1 hour later: still gorgeous. regal. it's a very confident scent. 2 hours later: not as heavy of a scent, but still wonderful. womanly. 3 hours later: i still love this. overall: this just smells so assertively feminine to me. i may treat myself to a 5ml if i end up wearing this a lot.
