In the imp: incense-y without being spicy
Wet: a nice warm smell, less of the incense note
Dry: A sense of warmth, rather than light. It's like the loose resins I use for incense, not stick incense. Very restful and calm.
Duration/Throw: The scent stayed the same and clung close to my wrists thoughout the day; I had to get within a few inches to smell it. It lasted forever though - I had to wash it off after 24 hours, so I could try another imp.
I don't think this one is it for me. I like resins, but it's a little too calm for my taste - I think I need something else with them. I'll try it again in a week or too, but at this point I think I'll swap it out.

In the Imp: Rose
Wet: Heavenly, strong, red rose scent
Drydown: a little fainter than the wet scent, otherwise the same
After 9 hours: The scent has faded, but I still get faint whiffs. Still very strong when I sniff my wrist.
Alas, no leather. I've been comparing the scent to my leather coat all day, and the most I got from the perfume oil was a hint or two of leather early on. I haven't tried enough different BPAL scents to know if I either a) amplify rose, or absorb leather, so YMMV. I have a few other rose scents in my 1st set of imps, so I'll try to pick one favorite and swap the others.
Well worth trying if you like the scent of roses at noon on a sunny day in the garden.
