    Full bottle scents different to imps?

    Hello everyone, this is my first post on the site and I wasn't sure which section to post this in so I apologize if it's in the wrong place! I recently made my third BPAL order (which, I must say, was gargantuan) and as well as a mass of imps decided to purchase full bottles of three of my favourite samples (Cleric, Dance of Death and The Caterpillar) from a previous order. Upon opening the bottles I was immediately struck by the fact that they smelt quite different to the imps I had received previously. They all smelt pleasant and 2 of the 3 were vaguely reminiscent of what I had loved before but still remarkably different. Dance of Death was the most like what I remembered, just much fresher, brighter and less dry than the imp. I assume that after sitting to rest for a while it will smell more like it did before. Cleric is still lovely but does not have the strong rose incense-y warmth that I fell in love with last time, and The Caterpillar smells like a pretty floral but completely different to the somewhat heavy, incense-laden scent of the imp. Some of the new imps I have tried also lack the smoky incense scent that I expected and others described (I am definitely an incense lover if that wasn't obvious!). I considered it could be a matter of skin chemistry not amplifying certain notes but I have not had that problem with incense before. Is this something anyone else has experienced or am I just losing it? Could it perhaps be that they need to age for a while, since I assume the imps I had last year could have maybe rested for a few weeks before I got them? Also, take a shot every time I say incense..
