Yay!! Today is a Mad Tea Party oil review day!! Wooo!! O...M...G... Big bottle NOW!! I LOVE carnations and this doesn't let me down at all... so spicy and sweet.. Im getting some sort of clovey aspect?? Or is that just the carnations smelling really effing good on me? oh yummy plummyness. Carnations and Plums.. you just can't go wrong!! It's not too harsh or anything and GREAT staying power! This scent is sooo warm and nice. I smell damn good right now. A new favorite!! I think this could be my Signature scent. WOOOO!! I give this one a 5 outa 5 totally all the way... omg.. SOOO good!! Buy a bottle NOW!!!

Mmmm... Lavender Tea!! It's actually very calming. Reminds me of the spa!!! I get a bit of the citrus note grounded with the lavender and the tea aspect must be the chamomile. (did I spell that right? Probably not ) As it dries down I get more grapefruit. I love this!!! Lavender grapefruit Tea.. what a magic blend!! 10 minutes later - oh poo... It's pretty much faded to a super light grapefruit and I have to breathe really deep to smell it. Maybe I have to slather this baby.

OMG a Lily of the Valley that doesn't go wonky on me!!! ::jumpswithjoy!!!::: It's prolly the Cherries and stephanotis. Its not a foody cherry though.. not like candy.. it's like REAL cherries. Not super sugar cherry. Mmm..Cherry Flowers. I give this one a 5 outa 5 I LOVE it!!!

In the bottle I get herbal mint tea... and mind you.. Mint tea is my favorite drink in the entire world. So i really just want to drink this. When I put it on I get the mint tea, but almost immediately, my chemistry goes "BAM" and amps up a minty orange blossom. Did I also mention that my body hates orange blossom? Thought not. As it dries down.. I get a minty sweat orange blossom. This actually isn't all the crazy orange blossomy on me *Plus points!!!* But.. it's still orange blossom, no matter what. Orange Blossom is just... orange blossom and I'm just not crazy about orange blossom. Once it's dried I get a minty sweat tea with orange blossom. It would be great to drink, but its on the same grounds as foody scents.. I wanna eat them rather than wear them. Same with this one..I wanna gulp it down rather than wear it. Off to sales!!!

My skin loves to amp of Lily of the Valley, but not only amp that note, but change it into a sickly astringent scent. I am hoping that the lily of th valley will be crushed down by the mounds of other notes that I loveeee (Rose/Carnation/Beeswax/vanilla amber) On Application - astringent Lily. Wow what a surprise!! As it dries down, yeah this is a Green and yellow scent. Im getting a mix between Lily and wild rose mellowed with a bit of amber maybe. Though it is nice, it's not making me dance around the living room in a circle.

I have to agree with GypsyRoseRed on this one. In the bottle alls I smell is a musky leather. Once applied it gets so nice and warm, but with the smoothness of the sage cooling it a bit. Mmm i smell that bit of citrus. Either its the lemon balm or the grapefruit rind or mandarin, or its all three playing up a bit of a citrus note overall, but it is quite lovely. It has a nice incense scent wafting around all the notes Lovely!!! This one is a keeper!!! And I love the B movie art!!!

In the bottle the first thing i think of when i smell it is Monserbait biggercritters. It's a very foody sweet, and unfortunatly, Im not big on sweet foodys. I like sweet candy scents, but not foody. its like a peice of vanilla creme cake. I'd rather eat it than wear it On me its not as foody as biggercritters, but it's gone juicy. That must be the pears? Its like a foody juicy vanilla pear. Very sweet, but the food type of sweet. Still not quite something I'd wear daily. Even though I LOVE the art, it's still off to swappers!!!

I got a frimp from a swap and wow.. this is very very lovely!! Super soft and fruity with a floral base. Very very light. I will have to slather this one.. it is so light and sticks very close to the skin but it is so pretty... Peaches and rose. Mmmm.. lovely...

This one is soooo lovely!! Spicy carnation and incense... with a slight rose hanging around.. I wish that I had more than just an imp's worth.. this could be my signature scent. I can't stop sniffing myself.... sweet and smokey, spicy carnation and just the right amount of rose to calm everything down... Great staying power too!!

Oh man this is easily one of my top ten...:::droools..::: Absolutly amazing!! I didn't even know what I had lurking in my imp box until i decided to start going through it. I pulled out that bad boy and flew away to heaven. In the imp, its a chocolaty muskyness. Not too sweet, not to musky. With a bit of floral perhaps underneath? Once applied.. oh god.. a semi-sweet fruity chocolate with muskyness teasing me underneath it all. I've gotten a lot of "oohs and ahhh's" from this one. It has great staying power too, and everytime i reach for something, I smell a fruity slightly vanilla, slightly chocolate scent wafting around me. I am soooo not worthy!!!

Oh wow this is yummyness on my wrist. I wanna drink the bottle. Such a softly sweet. I smell that bubblegum that people keep commenting on, but it's not that cheepo bubblegum out of the wrapper type.. it's gum that when you first put it in your mouth, that sweet yummyness that you taste is kinda like what this smells like. I get a faint mango-ish or possibly a toned down type of fruit? Maybe it's lotus? I've gotten a candyish smell from lotus.. Oh man this is beautiful!!!!

Mmm.. Minty herbal tea. I smell the mint first off, but its not overly minty. It's being mellowed out by the violet, with just a tad sweetness of rose. At first it's just a soft minty fresh, but when you smell deep, you get that calming intsy tinsy bit of flowers making it calm and soft. Just beautiful!!!!

In the bottle it's very sweet and earthy, but once it goes on my skin it's mostly cedar. It's a very milky cedar, but all I smell is cedar. It's not bad. In all actuality I like it. It sticks very close to the skin and goes away really quick though edit: 7 months later... aged nicely!! Now it's a soft sweet incense.. a bit of cedar around the edges but I've actually grown to love a bit of cedar these days. It's great how your snoot can mature to appreciate lovely smellies. So yeah... it's very very nice. A slightly sweet.. slightly creamy.. with a touch of spice and a bit of cedar blended incense. I'm glad I held on to this baby!

What a lovely lil baby surprise mixed in the millions of imps and frimps from the lab!! The imp artwork is sooo cute and unique!! In the bottle: Sugar Cherries and nuts with a cake batter melding around in it. On me: Mmmm.. it's fruit. And cake. Sweet candied fruits and nuts and cake. Verdict. Its probably one of the only foodies I would wear..

In the bottle I smell a nutty floral foodyness. Sweet like chocolate ground with flowers. On my skin i smell warmth and a nutty floral. Im picking up a chocolate-ish aspect but the aftertaste is herbs and jasmine. It smells nice but it's not quite me (not one for foodies) I'll try it again before I decide to keep or pass.

Black algae, drooping seaweed, salty brine, and crushed coral. I got frimped! Woo!! When i first sniffed this one.. I thought how nice it was. I could tell it was an aquatic, but it was so warm and juicy. I saw the notes listed and it threw me for a loop! Brine??? Anyway, this is such a beautiful full rounded salty sweet aquatic. Hip hip for Beth!!

Oh yummmy!! Cherry and Verbena! I love both of those notes, and combined it reminds me of those bags of cherry bomb candies you get at Disneyland on Main street. Tart and sweet.. it makes your mouth water. I almost get a bit of cinnamon in there? Even though it isn't listed... doesn't matter because this effing rocks!!!! Yumyumyumyum!!! Update 6 years later: The patchouli has come out to play and the cherry went byebye - or is at least hiding out. LOVE this even more now that it's REALLY FREAKING AGED!

I was very excited about this one.. the notes sounded so lovely. I do smell the soft flowers, but then I get a harsh astrigent underneath. I get a flash of pine sol for some reason. Its soft and light (almost a soapy lemon?) and then it burns my nose. Off to swaps

I got frimped on this one. I smelled that rotting wood and wet dirt with the ozone quality of rain. I live in California so I guess you have to live in a bog to get a scent memory of this one. It didn't work with me. I'm used to the smell of "wildfire" wood.. not rotting wood

Sea air and a lime tree!! I agree with a few others that this is gender neutral, but veering more towards the manly side. Though the citrus in the lime adds a bit of a somewhat feminine touch. I smell a intsy tinsy bit of a snake oil just kind of lying down in the background, but I have to search for it. It doesn’t pop at you. I wish it would This is a great perfume for the sake of collecting and sniffin a wee bit ol’ tha seven salty seas.. but I’d feel like I’m holding out on someone who would give it love. I’ll decide if I keep or pass.

Mmm Creamy carnation and something spicy. (probably the cardnation hehe) This is wonderful. I smell the woods and flowers. To me this smells very "red" and candylike... It has that musky quality poking through. I like this a lot. At first I was kinda iffy, but once It dried down and I picked out the distinct notes, It grew on me. A deep sweet and soft floral with a bit of wood grounding it.. Beautiful!!

This is by far the "ME" scent.. We got a winner here folks!!! In the bottle : Musky sweet incense.. almost kind of buttery but at the same time a sharp quality pokes around there.. and not a foody buttery at all. Its like a buttery quality like when you taste wine. Wet: Salty sweet plummy incense.. oh god I love the incense quality. Drydown: That buttery sweet salty incense that just melts my soul... oh god I'm in effing LoVE!!! And it lasts allll dayyy. I get wafts of sweetly salty incense now and again and my tummy flutters with absolute love.. THANK YOU BETH!!!!

I picked this one up and tested it once a while back and thought "hmm.. virgin melon balls" I stored it and then I decided to try it one more after I put it up for sale just (as a little going away sniffy) and thought "hmm.. virgin melon balls" It smells nice, but it sticks too close to the skin and reminds me of a fruity lip balm. I'm happy to pass it on to someone who will give it more love than me... I'll miss the lil' squishy brain though....

In the bottle i smell cotton and the drowning of sorrows in booze. Wet, it's more sharp.. so far on my skin its a floral clean smelling cotton with a hint of something underneath. Kind of like when you wash a shirt and bring it out of the dryer and it still has the smell from the perfume you were wearing previously (I LOVE it when that happens.. Please.. stain my cloths with a yummy scent.. I don't mind!) <~~ That is me begging oils to mark their territory. When it drys down I get babypowder. Not bad. I smell nice. Its like the mix of cotton and incense makes it babypowder like. Very soft though. I smell very clean. A bit later its wayyyy more sharp. The cotton has amped up big time. Its very bright and warm though. Not Physically warm.. just very warm reminensent. Mmmm the incense is finally coming out of shy-ville. Just lovely!!!

I got frimped from the lab!! Thank you I was DYING to try this.. and viola!! Thar she be!! In the bottle: Sweet sweet dark grapes and smoke Wet: Like someone spit out some gum into a grape, dropped it onto the ground and smooshed it into the dirt. (And I like it!!) Dry: Ohhhh yummm.. sweet sweet earth and incensey grapes. I reacently purchased some grape incense and this smells like it. I loveeeee it!!!! I want a bottle.. NOW!!!
