I've been dying to try this scent out. I love tea scents and I love light musks. My only worry, a very minor one, was that I tend to amp sweet notes. I didn't want to smell too candy-like. Initial Impression: sweet tea and vanilla with a hint of musk. On Wet: more musky now, less tea, very sweet. Almost like cotton candy. On Dry: I'm pleased! This one stays pretty well balanced. The musk is there, as well as the sweet, cotton candy smell, but the tea, sadly has faded. Final Impression: Very yummy! Everyone who smells me tends to go "Mmm!" Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): Definitely a 5. I need a big ol' bottle of this stuff!

Paris was a frimp with my last order. (Retried it recently, found the lotus overwhelmingly sweet and modified my review) Initial Impression: Sweet and slightly spicy. On Wet: sweet, floral without being too floral, delicate, a hint of spice. I'm really amping lavender. On Dry: very sweet (lotus?). There's only the vaguest hint of spice. Final Impression: very Parisian and sophisticated, but that hint of bubblegum sweetness ruins it for me. Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): 2

I've been dying to try this one. It sounded so interesting to me. I love earthy smells and resins love me, so I thought this would be a match made in heaven. First Impression: moss, trees, earth, air. It's just as the description says.. On Wet: still moss and pine, but something sweet and candy-like is popping out. Lovely. It feels cool and moist, like a soft breeze. On Dry: it's berries! The berries are coming out stronger now, and there's more of a fresh air smell, the moss, pine and earth are still there in the background. This is gorgeous! Final Impression: This is like the best nature walk ever! I love love love this! It's very soothing. Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): 5. I have to have a big bottle of this.

Red Devil was a frimp I received with my last order. It sounded interesting, so I thought I'd give it a go. Initial Impression: spicy herbal On Wet: spicy herbal with floral undertones On Dry: turned all old and musty potpourri on me. Ew. Final Impression: I don't want to smell like my grandma's potpourri, but I did receive a few compliments today on my appearance. Maybe I can mix it with something else.. Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): 2.5

I got this frimp with my last order and was immediately intrigued. It has quite a few notes that I love (incense, resin, musk) and tend to amp that I wonder why I didn't have this on my To Buy list. Initial Impression: incense, musk, spice, chamomile. I like this. It's sweet and spicy with a subtle muskiness. On Wet: the incense becomes sweet, a hint of leather appears, the cypress really amps, and I'm smelling the pepper. I'm also feeling a bit of a tingle from the pepper. I like! On Dry: strong cypress, sweet chamomile, and a hint of incense. I can't stop sniffing myself. Final Impression: I really love this scent! It's exotic, woodsy, spicy, and very, very sexy. Everything I love! Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): a strong 4.

Initial Impression: Tea, milk, and ginger. Yummy! On Wet: The ginger really comes out now, but I still smell the tea. I also smell a creamy sweetness and a hint of clean sheets. On Dry: The tea fades and the ginger amps. I love ginger, so this is good. There's still that wonderful creamy sweetness and the scent of clean sheets. Final Impression: This, to me, is a very comforting scent. The tea, the sweet milk, the clean sheets, and the ginger are all very home-y and soothing scents. I really love this! Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): I gave this a 4.5. I really love this scent and will definitely purchase a 5ml.

I'm a citrus fiend. I love everything lemon-scented. I knew I had to try this. Initial Impression: Very green, clean, crisp, and lemon-y. On Wet: Lemon and tea. On Dry: A hint of musk appears. This still smells lemon-y on me. It's a very clean, crisp scent. I love this! Final Impression: More musky now. It has an herbal smell with a citrus twist. I'm in love! I can't stop sniffing myself. Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): 5. I've already ordered a 5ml. bottle because I adore this so much! It's everything you could want in a citrus scent. Light, crisp, clean. Perfect!

I should preface this by stating that I'm not a floral gal. Well, not generally. There are always exceptions.. Initial Impression: Very strong floral. On Wet: I can now start smelling individual notes: gardenia, jasmine, and vanilla.. On Dry: This is more mellow now. More blended. I actually like this. Final Impression: This is a soft, very feminine floral. I'm surprised I like it so well. It smells to me like flowers in honey. Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): 3.5 I might buy this in the future.

I really wanted to like this. It had all of the elements: honeysuckle, orange blossom, lemon verbena.. Though, I'm unsure what heliotrope smells like. I was sure I'd love this.. First Impression: Spicy orange. Very spicy. I almost didn't try it. On Wet: Orange lollipops and flowers. Very sticky sweet and floral. Almost sickeningly sweet. I'm really feeling unsure about this now.. On Dry: Less orange-y now. It smells like sickly, cloyingly sweet flowers. Final Impression: It's spot on for the character, but I'm afraid it's far too sweet for me. Something about it was off-putting, almost disturbing. But I guess that makes sense as well, considering the character. Rating (on a scale of 1-5): 2

This was a frimp I received with my order. After reading the description, I was excited to try it out. Initial Impression: Definitely a mint julep! On Wet: Very minty. There's a hint of sweetness in the background, but overall I'm smelling mint. On Dry: More sweet now, still minty, the bourbon's kicking in a bit. This seems almost masculine. Final Impression: This scent brings to mind an old library or men's club room. Wood paneling, big leather chairs, and pipe smoke. Those are the elements I'm smelling now: wood, sweet smoke, a hint of leather. There's an itty bit of mint hovering there in the background too. A very sweet, but very masculine smell. Very sexy. I love this and feel like a sexy bitch wearing it. I'll definitely buy the 5ml. Rating (on a scale of 1-5): A very sexy 4.

Let me start off by saying that this is an amazingly complex scent that brings back many memories for me. I wasn't sure if I'd like it so much with all of the patchouli and incense in it, but I wanted to give it a go. Initial Impression: Holy patchouli! Strong incense and patchouli. Very hippy dippy. Reminds me of a girl I knew in college. On Wet: Jasmine! Where'd the patchouli go? I smell a lot of jasmine and a hint of incense. I'm not a floral fan, but this isn't bad. Kinda smoky. On Dry: Now it's more of a mossy, blended floral with incense undertones. Every so often I really amp patchouli until I think I can't stand it anymore, but then it softens up again to that nice green-y floral. Final Impression: This is an amazing scent! It has so many layers and changes so many times. Hours later, it's changed again on me to something more dark green and woodsy with floral and incense background. I love how this unfolds. Rating (on a scale of 1-5): I gave this one a 4.5. I will definitely purchase the 5ml. Love this!

The first time I smelled Alice, I wasn't sure if I'd like it as much as I wanted to like it. I put on a little dab, sniffed, shrugged, and set it aside. I decided to give it another go. Initial Impression: very light, creamy, slightly spicy (carnation?) floral. I'm not a huge floral fan, but I do like the spice. On Wet: creamy floral with spice and a hint of powder. Someone told me I smelled like a gingerbread cookie. On Dry: the creaminess is fading and the floral is coming forward more. Then, a little while later, I'm told I smell like a gingerbread cookie again. The scent keeps alternating between that spicy cream and the soft, sweet floral. Interesting. It keeps me sniffing my wrist, that's for sure! Final Impression: I don't normally like light florals, but this one is interesting enough that I'd consider buying the 5ml. Rating (on a scale of 1-5): I gave this one a 3.5.
