Initial Impression: red rose On Wet: the rose is very strong and there's the barest smidge of wax (almost like candle wax) On Dry: rose Final Impression: Between Rose Red and Peacock Queen I'd have to say I prefer Rose Red for the hint of green it brings. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 4

Rose Recommendations - which blend is for me?
erraticprophet replied to Nadirah's topic in Recommendations
Euphrosyne smelled just like flowers and honey on me. I do amp anything sweet so ymmv. I recall smelling the gardenia and jasmine in it but no or not much tea rose to make note of it. I recently got frimped Lucy's Kiss. That turned out to be a very soft rose on me. I think I prefer the bolder red rose. It was just a bit too dainty for me. I can't wait to try out the Mirror Mirror pack I ordered. It should arrive any day now. -
Initial Impression: sweet vanilla and lavender On Wet: marshmallows and lavender On Dry: more vanilla-y/marshmallow-y, lavender Final Impression: I really love this stuff. It works! It knocks my extremely restless child out within a half hour each and every night (smells a bit more sharp lavender on her, less vanilla/marshmallow). She's addicted. I find it very relaxing and soothing. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 5! I'll have to make sure to always have some of this on hand.

Initial Impression: sharp lavender On Wet: sharp lavender and anise On Dry: turns candy-like as the anise sweetens and takes over, smells a bit like honey too, the lavender softens and blends nicely Final Impression: Yummy! Made me nice and drowsy after I was very wound up and wired. I had very unusual dreams (just like Nanshe). Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 4.5

Initial Impression: light, clean-smelling. White floral and musk. On Wet: musk, jasmine, iris, very airy On Dry: very airy. A light, blended floral. Final Impression: Very breezy and light with a hint of sweetness. I really love this. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 4

Initial Impression: grapefruit, rose, amber On Wet: amber, grapefruit, orris, rose, jasmine On Dry: sugared grapefruit, rose and amber Final Impression: Again, I'm shocked that the jasmine didn't take over. The predominate floral note was rose in this. Really lovely. A softer, warmer Delirium. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 4

Initial Impression: orange and lavender On Wet: orange, lavender, and jasmine On Dry: the orange turns bitter for a bit before mellowing out and blending nicely with the jasmine (which isn't amping like crazy to my amazement) Final Impression: nice for a hot summer day Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 3.5

Initial Impression: mums and violets On Wet: mums and violets On Dry: gone Final Impression: Rather enjoyed it until it disappeared. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 2

Initial Impression: blended floral, moss, very dry smelling On Wet: light, very blended floral, very green On Dry: green floral, soft moss Final Impression: I really love this. The greenness and the moss really make this a gorgeous scent. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 4

Initial Impression: lemon!! On Wet: lemon drop candy and green tea, eventually some neroli wafts up and do I detect a hint of jasmine? On Dry: sharper lemon, green tea, hint of neroli Final Impression: a more lemony Embalming Fluid that fades altogether too fast for me. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 3

I was so excited to get this frimp because I used to wear a frankincense and myrrh oil back in my college days and I miss that wonderful smell. Initial Impression: frankincense and myrrh On Wet: frankincense and myrrh On Dry: more blended together and mellow Final Impression: This is even better than that old perfume oil I used to wear. It's heavenly! Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 5

Initial Impression: flowery On Wet: musk, orchid, hint of juniper berries and patchouli On Dry: very soft, more juniper berries than orchid now, some musk Final Impression: Really pretty, but very light Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 2.5

Initial Impression: flowers, aquatics On Wet: flowers, aquatics On Dry: vaguely off-putting flowers Final Impression: This is just not me. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 1.5

“The Beautiful One Is Come”. Egyptian iris and olibanum with red and white sandalwood, soft myrrh and a breath of North African herbs. Initial Impression: iris, sandalwood On Wet: sandalwood, myrrh, iris On Dry: very blended but still predominantly iris, herbs, hint of sandalwood. Final Impression: Not bad. I think I'll age the imp to see if it mellows out the iris and brings out the myrrh and herbs more. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 2.5

Initial Impression: strong beachy smell that tickles my nose On Wet: strong aquatics, leather, gunpowder On Dry: leather, gunpowder, that ocean-y smell again Final Impression: Really nice summer fragrance. Different and interesting. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 3.5

Initial Impression: caramel, vaguely floral On Wet: mint, caramel, sage, the tobacco smells more floral/herbal rather than leafy On Dry: tobacco, caramel, mint Final Impression: Yum! I love this! It's not too sweet, not too anything. Perfectly rounded. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 5

A frimp in my last order. A few of the notes in here worry me.. Initial Impression: wine, lotus, tobacco On Wet: plastic On Dry: not getting better Final Impression: Kali doesn't like me at all. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 1

Initial Impression: almonds, myrrh, musk On Wet: Very dark and rich. Musk, myrrh, almonds. On Dry: Lightens considerably, perhaps too much? myrrh (which takes on an almost floral tone matched against the almond), hint of sweet almond and musk. Final Impression: This is exotic, heady stuff. I only wish it didn't get so light on me at the end. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 3.5

Initial Impression: roses, hint of spice On Wet: rose On Dry: rose Final Impression: It's fine for a rose, but I wish the spice stuck around. I prefer Rakshasa for a spicy rose blend. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 3

Initial Impression: lily, rose On Wet: strong aquatics, hint of lily On Dry: aquatics and a hint of flowers Final Impression: Really interesting and unusual. Gave the impression of smelling flowers through water. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 2.5 only because I'm not all that fond of florals in general. For the idea and execution of the idea, I give it a 5.

Evocative of the sea's unplumbed mysteries. Gentle and lovely, but menacing and profound. Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk. Initial Impression: coconut, musk, iris On Wet: iris, creamy coconut, musk On Dry: creamy coconut and musk Final Impression: Never smelled any hazelnut as far as I could tell. I really loved this one. It was luscious and decadent! Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 4.5
-
Initial Impression: sweet pea, sage On Wet: musk, sage, sweet pea On Dry: sweet pea and musk Final Impression: I really wish the sage stuck around, it made the scent more interesting. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 2.5

Initial Impression: earth, smoke, exotic hothouse blooms On Wet: a lush, blooming rain forest, fresh earth, hint of smoke (that, amazingly enough, isn't giving me a headache!) On Dry: earth, hint of smoke and flowers Final Impression: I want to live there! Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 5! Love!

Initial Impression: cake, honey, wine On Wet: grape (tart, almost berry-like), honey (which I start to amp like a mo-fo after a while), cake On Dry: the honey is shouting at me, some cake, faint grape Final Impression: I could get cavities just wearing this. Rating (on a scale from 1-5): 3

It's funny because I thought I slathered but apparently, since I only use a drop or two at the most, I dab. Imps last me forever. I can't even count how many uses I get out of one. I've only ever finished two (Dorian and Embalming Fluid-- two of the imps from my first imp pack). I don't need to use much oil because I tend to amp scent and any more would be overwhelming for everyone and would probably kill me with a migraine.
