Received as a lil extra with an order In bottle: floral! Interesting! On skin: Patchouli.... though I like the smell I prefer to smell it on other people and not on me I think. After a few hours: stays the same

I received this as a free imp with an imp I bought from someone on here! In bottle: spicy, woody On skin: still spicy and woody; kinda like a craft store during the holiday season. After a few hours: too sweet and vanilla-ey unfortunately

Received this as a free imp with an order. In bottle: Oh I'm in love. Foodie, cookies, but not cloying; sweet and slightly spice-y. Definitely makes me think of Christmastime and candles. On skin: Still a warm and baked scent, but somehow also green and plantlike hints. Almost a menthol, but not overpowering. After a few hours: This reminds me both of childhood holiday decorations in my parent's house, and also weirdly of gardening, though I'm not sure where the earthy green growing scent is coming from. Maybe sunscreeny? I love this and will be keeping the imp for sure.

Received this as a free imp with an order. In bottle: bitter and cherry cough syrup. Unfortunately this does not bode well! On skin: Still just very bitter and artificial to me If I think hard about it I can get a sense of Hot Tamales, but I think it's just not working with my skin. After a few hours: it quieted down into a gentle cinnamon, but I think it's not right for me.

Received this as a free imp with an order. In bottle: floral and patchouli-y. Definitely earthy. On skin: Kind of one-dimensional on me, but can't quite put my finger on the dimension. Floral for sure. After a few hours: it got kind of watery and weak; I didn't feel terribly impressed with how this worked on my skin. I will be swapping or giving away the imp

Received this as a free imp with an order. In bottle: medicinal and sweet On skin: Wow, this smells exactly like the ancient cinnamon sticks at my parents' house. I like the smell, though it may be a bit strong to have as a perfume. After a few hours: woody and musky. Not really my thing! Will probably swap imp.

Got this with my gift of nail polish from my parents. In bottle: GRAPEFRUIT! Smells just like my Burts Bees grapefruit makeup wipes 😛 On skin: Citrusy for sure. I'm worried it's starting to turn to the smell of the cleaning wipes we use at my house. After a few hours: Oh, how I wish I liked this. Unfortunately it just smells too much like the cleaning supplies we use! Rather than a diss on this scent I think it's a compliment to the Seventh Generation cleaning supplies, lol. I'll try this again at some point, because it seems similar to Cheshire Cat and 51, both scents I love.

Got an imp as part of an order. In bottle: woody lemongrass On skin: the lemongrass is really strong; I'm a big fan of lemongrass but unfortunately it's turned a bit "cleaner"-y to me? After a few hours: floral. This ended up not being a scent for me, unfortunately. Might swap this imp away.

Got this with an order of nail polish I ordered as a gift for someone. I'll be interested to see how this works on my skin. In bottle: a bit sweet for my tastes. On skin: musky and green. Not sure what it is! After a few hours: it turned caramel-y, then a bit watery. A hint of something that reminds of our local ren faire. Maybe pine-y? I'll keep the imp but am not gonna try to get more.

Just got this in a swap! I've become partial to roses. In bottle: ROSES On skin: still strong roses. Hint of fruitiness? After a few hours: the rose smell is pure and strong with this one, lol. I may not be at the level of loving roses yet where this perfume is for me, unfortunately. Will perhaps keep the imp.

Received this imp in a swap In bottle: citrus-y and sweet. On skin: gentle, almost a hint of vanilla, but not in a bad way (I usually dislike vanilla). After a few hours: it's vanished, unfortunately. I probably won't keep this one, as it seems to not really last on me. Oh well!

Just got this through a swap! Lily of the valley is one of my favorite scents In bottle: very bubblegum-y; probably the cherry. On skin: got a bit powdery on me so far, unfortunately. After a few hours: This one isn't for me, I don't think. It turned too powdery on me Will be probably be re-swapping this one away!

Just got an imp in a swap! Lavender tends to do well-ish on me, so fingers crossed! In bottle: slightly spicy lavender. On skin: this is STRONG on me. The spices go so well with the lavender. After a few hours: smells almost candy-like? I'm smelling a bit of bubblegum. Unfortunately this lavender isn't one that I think I like. Will maybe swap the imp away, but not sure as of now!

I received this imp in a swap. I'm a big fan of Shakespeare and fae royalty, and bergamot is one of my favorite scents. I'm a bit wary of patchouli. In bottle: This is different for sure. I can't figure out what it smells like! A bit sunscreen-y, fruity. Can't decide if I love it or hate it. On skin: I'm liking it, though I can't for the life of me pick anything out. It smells delightful though. Almost watery but not in a bad way. After a few hours: Unfortunately I don't love what it morphed to; it's a bit too watery. I'm going to keep the imp and retest it at some point, because I think I haven't decided fully yet whether I like it.

Just got an imp in a swap. I adore Mary Shelley, and I'm a big absinthe fan. In bottle: definitely get the absinthe, with a bit of... cherry? On skin: Oh, yum. Gentle florals (? perhaps. They're not overly sweet), with a hint of absinthe. After a few hours: I like this. It's got just enough to not feel too "perfume"y. Keeping the imp!
