Grape fun dip is right, but I'm not fond of it at all. I don't get any subtleties or change, it's just a mixed berry/grape powder candy. I'm not a fan.

It's a super sweet and strong tea rose. It reminds me of when candies are rose flavored they taste the way they smell, but a little sweeter. This smells edible despite being floral. Nothing dark and twisted here. Just sweet tea rose.

I usually enjoy traditionally masculine scents, but I wasn't crazy about this one. I get tobacco the most but the rest is pretty thoroughly blended. It's tricky to pick up where one scent ends and another begins. In the end it mostly feels like wearing a fancy cologne. It's not bad, but it isn't for me either.

I love leather notes, and this one is lovely. It pairs really nicely with the oakmoss and rose. It smells very fresh and green overall, but the leather keeps it from being a straight garden blend. I don't get any orange blossoms, which is a little sad, but since everything else is lovely I can't complain about it too loudly.

There's a lot of floral sweetness in this one. The apple blossoms actually stand out the most for me. I get a smidge of fig and lily, but the apple blossom is the star. It's like spring blossoms in the middle of April when everything is still pretty new. It does verge on being soapy, but never makes that final push. It's nice enough to hold on to, but I probably won't look for more.

I think this is a very delicate scent. I'm very grateful that the myrrh isn't going too soapy. I can actually get the frankincense, rose, and lilac. I don't get much plum, which is a little disappointing. It's one of my favorite notes so I was looking for it. It's just a close skin scent. I get the frankincense mostly, but the florals keep it light. I wish it was a little stronger.

This one was a bit odd for me. It was a beautiful frankincense and rosewood scent, but then I snapped my fingers and it became a lily. Seriously, between sniffs it completely changed its profile. It commits to being a lily scent now, but that first turnaround was very dramatic.

I really dig this one. It's a cheerful plum scent with an edge of jasmine. I get the fruit first and then the soft florals. It really feels like sitting down for a nice garden picnic and enjoying some perfectly ripe plums. It's pretty close to the skin for me, but it does last a pretty long while. I enjoy this quite a bit.

My luck is such that all the notes I was most excited about aren't anywhere to be found. I mostly get sandalwood, vanilla, and jasmine with a bit of hay. I like most of those notes, but I was mostly looking forward to the ginger, tea leaf, lily, tobacco, and leather. I get a little tobacco when it dries, but not really enough to scratch that itch. It's much closer to smelling like a cake. I think I'll pass on this one.

I love this scent a lot. It's a perfect spring scent, though I'll wear it all year round because it's so cheerful. It's simply white tea and ginger, but that doesn't take away from its beauty. Kumiho is a much longer lasting tea than a lot of them, so that makes me beyond happy. The ginger isn't biting or particularly spicy, it's the sweeter side of ginger. This is absolutely one of my favorites.

I was fully expecting this to be more cherry blossom than anything else, but I straight up smell like a box of Good n Plenty. It's anise, but it's definitely in the sweeter black licorice realm. When it starts to dry the sandalwood does come out to pull it back from smelling completely like the least popular candy choice among kids. It's woody, but the anise is still the star here. I don't get any floral at all, actually. I can't say I'm a fan, but i'm glad I got to try it.

Very sweet apricots that are just ready to be eaten. It's sweet and strong. I don't really get much floral at all, really. It pretty much stays a SN apricot on me, which I'm pretty okay with.

I'd like to give my impressions of this one, but it doesn't really register on me for some reason. It smells like soft wood, figs, and incense in the imp and the bit I got on my fingers, but when I put it on my arm to test it just completely devoured it. Weird.

Wood, salt spray, and leather. It's lightly spiced with something. It smells like dried cooking spices, but they are pretty far back that it doesn't register as foodie. It's more for adding ambiance to a scent that smells very much like a location already. It smells like being by the seaside in leather boots. I adore it!

Lots of eucalyptus and orange right out of the gate on this one. I was hoping for more pine and for a general forest scent. This didn't do it for me, sadly. Eucalyptus just reigned supreme and orange backed it up until it almost completely faded away a half-hour later. I had such high hopes for this one, too.

I get very, very sweet fruity notes and florals. I actually think it smells a lot like St. Germain elderflower liqueur. It's sweet and a little boozy, but not overwhelming. It's a very bright scent. I get hardly any moss or dirt at all, which I'm a little sad about since I love those notes. As it is, though, it's perfectly wearable and cheerful.

Watson is a fastidiously clean scent. It's very much a clean linen scent, but not like laundry. It's more like something that was specially cleaned and prepped and is being worn by a gent with musky lime aftershave. There is a slickness that reminds me of metal, but it doesn't read as "metallic" to my nose if that makes any sense. Even though it leans traditionally masculine, I think anyone could really enjoy wearing it and not feel out of place.

I think this is in the same vein as Isles of Demons because it's mostly green and earthy. The biggest difference I get is a bit of anise here within all the greenery. Some watery notes come through when it dries down to add to the lush jungle type scent.I wish it had a bit more oomph because it wears pretty close to the skin for me.

Peach and patch right out of the gate. It's weirdly not really sweet like some peach scents can get. At least not until it dries. When it dries, the patchouli burns off for the most part and the peach it accompanied by amber and is much more golden sweet. I think it's much better at this stage.

Iambe opens with a lovely white tea and gardenia. It's bright and fresh when wet, but once it's dry the patchouli comes out and grounds it. The patch makes it a little biting and not nearly as springy as it was when first applied. I weirdly don't get any rose from this at all. I'll have to think on this one. I kind of wish this on leaned more toward floral or more toward the earthy resinous aspect instead of hovering somewhere in the middle.

It's very warm, wet, and green. It actually reminds me of a greenhouse because I definitely get very nitrogen rich dirt and earth under the dense greenery. When it dries, it does get a little sweet, but it also does mostly disappear for me. That's a shame because it is a great jungle/ greenhouse scent.

It's mostly burnt caramel for me. It's not particularly sweet, just caramelized musk. I also get a tinge of mint, but it's not particularly minty. It just has the tingly nose feel to it, along with the burning caramel musk. Wen it dries, the nicotiana comes through quite strongly on top of it all. It's really not my thing.

Strawberries, cherries, and vanilla are notoriously problem notes for me, but somehow it works. I can't explain it, but somehow they all come together and create something I can really see myself wearing. I think the red musk is some kind of peacekeeper and makes this scent work. It doesn't go cough syrup, baked good, or artificial candy on me. I wonder if it's because the imp is a few years old at least. It's a slightly sweet and sultry red musk scent with cherries, vanilla, and strawberries giving it some flair. Since this isn't my typical thing my imp will probably last me forever.

It's like sniffing an Andes mint when it's first appled. Chocolatey and minty, but it's not overly sweet. Then it slowly but surely morphs into something more woodsy and green. It's strange because there's a point when it's all chocolate moss and my nose is very confused by that prospect. I fancy this quite a bit, even if it's not my usual fare and is a bit strange unto itself.

It caught me off guard with how sweet it was to start. It's very fruity floral when it's wet. It reminds me of something, but I just can't put my finger on it. Once it dries, all the fruitiness burns off and I'm left with a very traditionally feminine floral, maybe tea rose or honeysuckle. Even if I can't pin it down, it feels nostalgic and I enjoy it quite a bit. What a nice surprise.
