I like this more than Rose Red. It's a deep, lush rose- more of an open rose then the buds of Rose Red. Good throw and lasting power too. I'd wear this in the evening, especially in the spring.
-
Green and jasmine. Smells pretty close to the imp on the skin, but a little more green. A little powdery in the undernotes. Nice, but nothing to write home about.
-
Very sweet floral in the imp- I get a lot of iris. It's a lot greener on the skin, with the tulip dominating. The endnote starts out very sugary, and morphs into a powder. Ends up pretty subtle.
-
Very clean and aquatic. Don't get any flowers from this. A little too "clean" on my skin- reminds me of cleaning spray. Just not me.
-
Very artificial strawberry in the imp, but becomes pretty on the skin. Reminds me of B&BW's Strawberry Patch candle, but less green and more sweet. Sadly it absorbed right into my skin. I'll have to swap it.
-
In the imp it's black tea with some mint. On my skin it's sugary tea with an undercurrent of sandalwood. It's a morpher- the mint and sandalwood become more prominent over time. An interesting blend- now I need to work on pronouncing the name...
-
Nothing but grapefruit in the bottle- it certainly wakes you up. On my skin it's fresh and green, but it also reminds me of Pledge. I think that's the grapefruit again. I guess I expected something darker- the name threw me off. I think I'm going to try to swap this, especially if I can get Midnight Kiss.
-
I got a frimp of this with my order. I find it buttery in the imp, with an undercurrent of wine. Cocoa-y amber and sandalwood on my skin, which is a great combo. Nice and spicy, and sticks around with a decent throw.
-
I got two frimps of this with my last order. Smells like a Christmas wreath in the imp. Very powerful pine on my skin, good for waking you up. I don't get any berries with this, just pine and woods. Good throw.
-
I get a lot of dry grass in this (I know it's not listed but...). The smoke is just a wisp. It reminds me of a beautiful fall day. Fades quickly.
-
A beautiful sea scent. The citrus is a great touch. Reminds me of being on a ship in the ocean- just a little bit of salt. Kinda like a pirate ship without the pirates (my friend says she doesn't want to know what a pirate ship smells like). Very subtle. I think this would rock for a sailing trip (like I do a lot of sailing ).
-
It's amazing! Very white floral and green, which balance each other nicely. Reminds me of Garden Path with Chickens with Gardenia, and it's everything I wanted Estee Lauder's Tuberose Gardenia to be. Plus I love the label!
-
In the imp, I get lots of pomegrante with undernotes of pepper and dirt. Wet, it's pomegrante, but dry it's pepper tempered by rose. Like, don't love.
-
A strong, sweet green scent. Nice in the imp (smells like The Secret Garden) but kinda soapy on my skin. Good soap, but still soap. Another swap.
-
Very musky and dusty. Doesn't remind me much of a library though until it dries. Then it gets this nice book smell, like going down into the stacks and sticking your nose into a pile of tomes. Glad I only got a decant though, because it's not something I'm looking to smell like.
-
Very strong woods, nice and cedary. Practically assults the nose out of the imp, but better on the skin. I think it'd smell better on a man though. Glad I've tried it, but I think it's a swap.
-
A light, sweet tropical floral, a little green on the skin. I wish I could pick out individual notes, but I don't know what half of these smell like, or even are! Great throw- I love when I can smell scents with putting my nose on my wrist.
-
In the imp this is very buttery, a little much for me. Very white grape when wet, and the pumpkin rounds out the scent. Sweet and tangy, and the jasmine tea is an afternote.
-
Like cough syrup wet, fades to a beautiful floral. Then a minute later, nothing. Lasts about 5 minutes total. Darn.
-
Spicy and strong, but muted nicely by the fruits and woods. The fir rounds things out nicely. Also enjoy the strong throw and the long wear. Not my traditional style, but good for fall.
-
I only put on a quick layer before running out. I dried quickly but I didn't see the glow in the dark effect. I'd recommend a few layers unless you're putting it over another color (something I want to try with Lady Macbeth).
-
Ohmigod I love this color! It's both gothy and trendy. I just wish it didn't chip so quickly. The other polishes stay on well, so I guess the pigment changes the chemistry. I'd really like to see a reformulation- same color, sturdier polish.
-
Strong vanilla apricot with ginger in the imp, spicy jasmine on my skin. Strong throw. A little too spicy, maybe good for seduction.
-
In the imp I smell a sweet, softened version of pomegranate. On my skin it's much more tart, but you can still smell the rose in the background. It's a deep rose, reminscent of Rose Red. Blends into my skin quickly and becomes a light but moderately long lasting blend.
