    Black Moon

    Wow... all I can say is Wow! I LOVE this. Watery pear and orchid... I'm totally digging on this.. It's lovely and sweet without being crazily sweet or crazily watery... just a perfectly juicy blend. The musk makes a bit of an appearance behind the main notes that I pick up (pear and orchid) so it gives it that bit of a perfume feel...but it doesn't overwhelm at all.. so it's not a traditional perfume, but you get that perfume feel... 5 minutes later jasmine is poking her head through to say hello to orchid and pear. Morphin away!!! Another winner!!!!

    Ophelia

    at first it's a super harsh red rose... but as it dries down it gets sweeter and sweeter. The lotus really pops as it dries to make a perfectly sweet bubblegumish rose. A bit later I notice that it morphs between super red rose and sweet lotus rose. It lasts quite awhile too. I'll keep this imp close at hand!

    London

    Mmmm.. LOVELY tea roses... I get a mental image of proper english ladies having tea in a garden surrounded with tea roses.. gossiping about who soiled their reputation lately by not having a proper escort during a buggy ride in Hyde Park with an improper gentleman. Tea roses with a damaged reputation.. the best kind there is....

    Two, Five & Seven

    Huh... smells like im sitting in a tea rose garden with a glass of sweet rose infused sangria. I love it. When I saw that it said "a touch of grass" I kinda got scared. But... no grass on this chicks arm!! It's very creamy rose with a sweet red undertone. ok if i HUFF it.. I kinda get a green tinge.. but nothing too headache inducing. I really love this one!! 5 minutes later.... Ok its weird cause when I huff my arm I barely smell grass... but when I am not outright smellin my arm and the scent wafts up to my nose, I get green! Thank gods it's a green I can deal with. Still lovin' it! I'll hold on to my imp for the Summa Time!

    Asphodel

    I kept thinking the same thing as everyone else... I knowwwwww this flower!! Pretty funny.. but all I can smell is Hawaii. I went there and THIS is what the airport smells like (when you aren't inhaling jet fuel fumes that is!) I was hanging out in this beautiful Japanese garden at the airport in Honolulu when I first landed... and this is what the garden smells like. Simple...fresh.. and lovely. But as it is drying I am picking up something sinister underneath...just enough that if you don't look for it... you'd miss it. But it is still beautiful. A ghostly scent... hmm.. interesting because Hawaii has a lot of ghosts...

    Dracul

    Frimpiness frimpage! My how I love frimps! Though I usually don't jump for joy for "fir" in my scents (I'm not that much of a hippie!) This one is actually quite lovely! It's sweet and minty christmas tree scent fer shore! It reminds me of when I was a kid and I had a christmas tree!! (Nowdays I feel that $40 for a fire hazard ain't worth it! Maybe when I have kids I'll buy tree's for the spirit of it all) The tobacco reminds me of visiting my friends house where she'll have a tree (Every year) and her house is usually smoke filled from all the smokers (Must be the tobacco!) It's actually a bit creamy too. This is actually really nice. I think I like it a lot. A tree scent that I like??!! whoa man.... I'll keep my imp and prolly wear it when either a. Camping or b. Christmas hijinxing

    Brisingamen

    *SQUEE!* I love being frimped... and I did I did!!! I love this!! I smell spicy carnation and amber and holy god I LOVE Carnation and have a soft spot in my heart for amber (its a note that is lovely but I find it generic sometimes) But combined is pure spicy bliss!! As it dries down it gets a bit powdery (from the amber I suspect) but it keeps that carnation undertone that makes a nice combination. Very very purdyfull indeed!

    Hope

    My best friend gave me Hope as a b-day present... I just hadn't gotten around to writing my review. For starters, I adore sugared anything, especially sugary florals. nummynummynummy! Hope is everything I thought it would be. An innocent and sweet sugary powdery rose... its so soft and sweet. Simply beautiful!!! I knew I'd love this, and I knew my friend knew I would love this God I love roses... Sugar is also a great treat. Put them together... and it's

    Iambe

    Wet: Mmm.. sweet juicy rose swirling with amber. A bit of dirt from the patchouli, and the clean sharp gardenia kinda keeping itself hidden behind it all. Dry Down: The rose is a very sweet rose but matches perfectly with the sharpness of the tea and gardenia. Dry: Tea and gardenia with rose softening things up a bit. I barely detect amber, but I know it's there. LOVELY!!!

    Snake Charmer

    I swapped for an imp about a year back but have never done a review cause I'm HORDING THIS THING! my husband set up an alarm system that puts fort knox to shame! I Kid I Kid! It's just in my impy box (but in a special part of my impy box) anyway.. alls I can say is HOLYCRAP! WTF?? I want more?? now I KNOW why people sell their eye teeth to have some of this crap. It's.. umm.. whats the word for it?? duh.. yep. I tried to find a great word to describe it and can only come up with AMAZING. vanilla - spice - and of course a snake oil feel (just like everyone else) But soooo much more lovelier. Just sooo much more to it than yer traditional snake oil. I could go on and on if I could come up with a description to fit what it comes out as.. but just to simplify.. it's very exotic and lovely. I should've boughten a bottle on ebay back before inflation took over...

    Midnight on the Midway (2006)

    I can't believe that I've never done a review on this Ohhh so lovely bottle of pure love. This is by far one of the blends that makes me go all melty and blagorblahgal... First of all.. I LOVE Subtle sugar blends.. especially when they are blended with.. ohhhh lets say.. subtle flowers! Then lets say you add the one ingredient that makes me go GAH!! and that my friends would be a blend of the previous two with incense.. Holy mother of Holy smokes. Put a toothpick in me and call me a pig in a blanket cause IM DONE! And (lucky me!!!!!!!) It lasts ALL FRICKEN DAY. Almost to the point where it's sickly sweet and Ohhh SOO EFFING AMAZING!!! Soo powdery sweet and incensy with a twang of floral sweet and sugar. Yes it's a bit soapy at first... but I don't mind. After 12 hours of walking around and that lovely lovelyness wafting around me.. I'm a happy clam cause I smell clean and lovely and incensy. THANK YOU BETH.. You're the man.. er.. yeah! You know what I mean! My Verdict you ask? : OH GOD... ::blagorblahgal:: X a bagillion!

    Shango

    I got frimped from the lab, and without reading the description, I was sniffin something that was like red musk, but wasnt, then I thought perhaps it was a patchoulish blend, but not. But I detected lots of juicy fruits. Then I read the description and it makes perfect sense!! Earthy from the coconuts, and crisp apple and poms.. YUMMY indeed! It's actually a thicker blend.. and very dark in the imp. I LOVE IT!! I get tons of deep dark apple surrounded by an earthy scent somewhere in there? Dont know what it is but I love it.. the chili isn't spicy at all.. it kinda add's a ZING to the whole mix. The "grape" that people are smelling is probably the tannens in the banana mix. I went wine tasting and said I tasted Bananas and they laughed at me and said its the tannens (grape skin) which is bitter tasting like the little peel thingys on bananas.

    Persephone

    My best friend frimped me (she hates rose.. I am in with rose!! HAHA!!! Yay for meeee!!) This is AMAZING! Super sweet mega juicy roses with pomegranate..just like the description. It's more rose than pom., which is fine with me!! As it dries down, it just wafts all around me in a lovely sweet juicy rose.. I am in LOVEEEEEEEEE!!!!

    Urd

    In the bottle it's absolutly beautiful!! Earthy and sweet and resiny... yum! But on.. it's all patchouli I was hoping that beautiful sweetness would jump at me with a bit of the lovely patchouli. Don't get me wrong.. I love patchouli, but my skin amps it like nothing else and all the other beautiful notes get smooshed away. I was crossing my fingers hoping I'd get a lovely NagChampaPatchouliSweet insence scent... but on my stupid skin it's all patchouli. Sadly I must swap.

    Trick #2

    Very nice. How can a perfume be utterly feminine, and utterly male at the same time? Is that the trick itself? It smells sweet and girly.. and then behind it all.. it's a dirty sweaty dude wearin a cowboy hat. Really weird. But I like it

    Bearded Lady

    I was so excited when I was able to finally get's me a bottle of this. I have been oogling it forever and became the lucky owner of a lovely bottle of Bearded Lady. Well.. not so lucky. It's all powder. Nothin' else.. I am very dissapointed. I put her on early in the morning and it was powder. I gave it several hours (maybe she's a morpher? who knows..) And I smell now.. 3 hours later.. and it's still powder. It's not a nasty powder, but it smells like those cardboard boxes of powder with the powder puff that old ladys pat on their chests. I was so excited..and now I am so so sad.

    Chimera

    This reminds me of a spicy "O" - honeyish amber but the cinnamon spices things up just a tad. This isn't the melt your skin off cinnamon.. it's a sweet cinnamon. Lovely!!! I'll keep the imp, but I probably won't buy a bottle since I have "O" and "Bengal" and it's a love child between them.

    Goneril

    I smell like a giant green forest. Total cedar..with some spice thrown in. As it dries I get a touch of floral. This doesn't morph on me really.. it's just a cedar with dark florals growing around the trunk. I'll give this one a new home.

    Fascinum

    Mmmm.. Incense and saffron mellowed with the amber. The cedar isn't too dominant, which I love. I thought that I was smelling clove or cinnamon, but I guess that was the saffron all along. This is gorgeous!!! I completely agree with it being uni-sex...this might smell amazing on my husband!! Wow.. it's all cedar on my husband, and spicy on me!! interesting....

    Y'ha-nthlei

    Frimped from the lab!! Salty-sweet with cool undertones (probably the Eucalyptus). It's got a great throw to it!! Somebody said "clean laundry" and I agree completely. It's very nice, but makes me sneeze (it's pretty strong) I Think I'll share the love and frimp this one out. It's very nice to test, but I wouldn't reach for it.

    Pisces 2008

    Wow!! I am so happy that I found a blend that has poppy in it that doesn't give me a splitting headache!! This is actually very nice.. it's a bright red scent with an earthyness to it (hemp maybe?) Sweet grains with bright flowers and earth (not dirt earth.. but an earthy feel to it) but still deep and full. Does that make sense?
  22. heathercaley

    To Helen

    Oh my!! This is BEAUTIFUL!! Its so creamy and soft.. I smell honey and roses and powder... but not the nasty powder some people get with certain blends that smell like a baby.. this is like a creamy vanilla powder.. that must be the amber. God I love this!!! I totally thought that with the ozone, that this would be a sharper scent, but I am sooo wrong. And SOOO happy I bought it on a whim I'm thinking I may have to get another bottle!!!

    Cheshire Moon

    This is a deeelishush!! Very juicy guava but rounded and mellowed by the hibiscus, and/or cherry blossom (pretty much rounded by a floral, but I can't place it) Its a very full rounded scent (word of the day - Rounded).. it's foody, but not foooody. I like smelling like fruits and sugar so this is great. I bet it will layer well with a resin scent.

    Lunar Eclipse

    Mmm herbal red musk. I love red musk. It has that same quality as Mme. Moriarty and Midnight Kiss (Red musk galore!) But with an herbal dusty floral-sih feel. I also get Mint? That must be the lavender. Lovely!! Such a nice calming blend. I bet it will age beautifully!!!

    I want a BPAL that smells like Bath & Body Works...

    Id love their Sensual Jasmine Vanilla...Mmmm. It has a hint of patchouli my chemistry usually takes Jasmine and turns it into Lysol...but their Jasmine Vanilla is TO DIE FOR! I always get positive feedback when I wear it. I'd love me some bpal that smells zactly like Jasmine Vanilla (with a hint of patchouli)
