    Nephilim

    First sniff: why do I smell lemon? At first I smell a spicy sort of lemon.... A few hours later: the lemony note starts to fade away and more floral notes starts to come forward. Final verdict: unfortunately, this one has faded away . But I must say, it's a very confusing scent!!! Up into the swaptub, you little one!

    Siren

    First sniff: I smell something similar to orange, that will probably be the apricot. A few hours later: The apricot starts to fade a way a bit, and some other notes come forward, but I can't pick wich... Final stage: The apricot has left and now I can smell a mix of vanilla and ginger (I think ) I am still a bit undecided about Siren, but I think I will use up the imp....
  3. Another vote here for Rose red, as it is a limited edition. and you will probably be able to swap it away very easily iff you don't like it....

    Empyreal Mist

    I can't pick out any notes, but this one is very soft and hazy and slightly sweet. It is so soft, that it has dissapeared after a few hours ... Up into the swappile with you!!!

    Regan

    First sniff from skin: strong, warm, reddish-floral, I can't pick out any notes yet. After a few hours: still this warm, reddish clouds of scent. Not very autumny, but still a bit spicey. End of the day: wow, I still can smell this one! There's a trace of some light vannilla..... I don't know if this one's up for a big bottle, but I'll defenitely use up the imp....

    Kostnice

    First sniff from skin: it starts like a bitther heavy floral on me. Must be the lilly or the geranium.... Drydown: the bitterness has gone away, the florals come out stronger, I can't recognise any frankencinse... After a few hours: still quite heavy and floral... For me, this one's too heavy and floral. Into the little swaptub, you little one!!!

    I second the empyrial mist or Juliet. *also already fixes cup of Chamomile tea to help you to not flip out* You are charming and worthy!!

    Mata Hari

    First sniff from skin: this really smells like a nice cup of Mocha for me, the coffee is very overpowering. A few hours later: the coffee has mellowed out and the florals have arrived! I can't pick out any note, because it's so nicely blended together... End of the day: I still smell the florals with some mocha behind it, wich makes the scent warmer.... I love this!! Edited to add that this scent makes me crave chocolat for some odd reason!!

    Rain Scents

    I always wear warm, comfy scents on rainy days. Old Athens (love the honey ) and Spellbound are amongst my favourites for those days, it feels like wrapping a warm blanket around you to counteract the cold....

    Athens

    First sniff: slightly floral and winey. On skin: wham! First I really smell the red wine and the myrrh. After a few minutes, the wine and myrrh start to mellow away, leaving a glorious, slightly spicy honey behind. A bit like my beloved "be never too busy to be beautifull" lush showergel. After a few hours: still the lovely warm, honey scent. I can´t stop sniffing myself! Defenitely a keeper and up for a bottle!

    Black Phoenix

    First sniff: like sweet, green candy. On skin: still quite sweet, even a bit sourry. Smells a bit like sour applecandy balls I used to eat... A few hours later: this one has mellowed out so much that I barely can smell it anymore Up for the swaptub!!
  12. Queen of Sheba smells the same as Snowcake!!

    Queen of Sheba

    Bottle: almonds so bitter, that it almost hurts to sniff them.... First sniff from skin: this scent immediatley starts to warm and soften up. To me, it smells the same as Lush's snowcake. It also reminds me of making sugary, almond cookies at work. After a few hours: still there! It's all nice and slightly snuggly, with a sexy undertone. Definetely a keeper!!!

    The Hesperides

    Bottle: apple, apple, abit like a granny smith. On skin: this reminds me of a perfume of Yves Rocher. I can only pick out the apple.... Few good hours later: it's almost gone... As someone already said, I love apples, but have no desire to smell like them. On the swap pile!!

    Titania

    First sniff: fruity and floral. I especially smell lemon, allthough that's not in the description! On skin: the moonflower starts to stand out more. The scent also starts to mellow to my skin. Not to sweet, I think this one would be great for spring. Definetely a keeper!

    Namaste

    Bottle: I smell lemon, Sandal wood.....it smells kind of like my mendhi oil that I used for Henna tattoos.... First dab: mmmm , lovely lemon and sandalwood, acn't detect any other notes. I think this one would be good for hot weather... After a few hours: *starts sniffing her arm* it's gone. I can't smell anything of it on my skin anymore I tried this one for two days, and both times, the scent has just vanished of my skin.... I would keep this one if it had staying power, because it's a really nice scnet in the beginning, but alas, another one for the swap pile!!

    Amelie's Perfume

    I think Unseelie would be a good one for her. Soft, light and femine. She also seems to me like and "alice" person. And going with the red theme, I think bewitched would fit, because of all the berries....

    Autumn Scents - recommend the ones you love

    I live in the Netherlands, so the only way to pay for me is paypal. I think i will peruse their site once more, so I will be well informed. I'm always very cautious with these things, when there is money involved....

    Autumn Scents - recommend the ones you love

    Ooohhh, so many recomendations! Nephilim and zombi are already in my imp's ear collection, so I'll definetely give those a shot once again. Chimera is already on my "to orderlist", so that's already in. For the rest...choices!!! I think i will also try some layering experiments to find the perfect "get-your-scarf-out" scent! Thank you all for your help! The only thing between me and a bpal order, is my slight fear for paypal, but I think I can overcome that!!!

    Good scents for travelling, vacations

    I would choose a light scent and a warmer/heavier scent. For example, when I go to London next week, i will take with me snake oil and unseelie. But this choice is more based on versatility then on association. I do know that the perfect way to take two imps with you is to put them in a matchbox. They will fit in nice and snuggly with little chance of being bashed around. I hope you have a lovely time in our little country (Netherlands)!!!

    Unfortunatly, I already tried Jack and I truly did not like it (understatement)

    Autumn Scents - recommend the ones you love

    I'm putting my first bpal order list together now (and boy, it is hard!!!) and was a little bit wondering... My favourite season of the year is Autumn, there's nothing more marvelous for me then to see the leaves turning into those beautiful colours and to curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and a good book, while the rain is ticking on the window. But I haven't found the perfect embodiment in scent for this season yet. What scent do you think embodies the spirit of autumn?

    Aureus

    First sniff: very woodsy and also a bit bitter. Also a bit incensey. More like "old smoked-through wood" then "golden light". Wearing: the bitter note has started to fade, still woodsey and incensey. On me, it is quite strong and attacks my nose a bit. Keeper/swapper: For me, this one is too woodsy and bitter. Will be a swapper!

    Unseelie

    Wet: this reminds me a lot of baby powder, soft and innocent. Dry: hmmm, lovely! It starts getting more floral and dewey. To me, it really reminds me of soft springmornings, where there is just a little bit of dew hanging in the air. Very clear and soft. This is a wonderful scent for me for warm days, due to it's lightness. Very ethereal.....
