Wow, this reminds me of something right away, but I can't think of what. Sort of like a nuttier Haloes. Think of wezwanie hold and Haloes. Antikythera mechanism comes together to mind too, a more foodier feminine version. This is quite nice. Warm, but not really my style.

Wet, it's like fresh herbs, oregano maybe? Dry, herbal soap, like the kind in a health food store. Wait! I know what this smells like! Herbal essence shampoo, the kind with the pretty label, a girl with long blonde tresses and the shampoo was green. I haven't seen that shampoo for years..

Mostly vetiver on me, and something cologney. My sniffie really is just a sniffie, it must have leaked, so this review may not be accurate. Whatever the case, not a big fan of wearing vetiver as perfume.

Lovely freshness aquatic with greenery. Dries rather soapy though. Too bad, the wet phase was quite lovely.

Thanks to absinthetics who did mini impact of this scent:). I'm getting rooty, smoky vetivrer at first. Dries to a more muted vetiver, less smoky. There is something a bit high pitched, not sure what. At any rate, I wish I got musk and tobacco and patchouli, but no, it's all vetiver all the time. Not my kind of blend, I wouldn't even like this on a guy. I do like vetiver for its aromatherapy properties though.

Dude blend alert! Masculine, LOTS of woods and musk at first. After a bit, it gets sweeter. This is really a great blend, only a bit too masculine for me.

Sweet wine from wet to dry. I'm beginning to think I amp wine notes. I like to drink wine, but not smell like it.

Wet, orris with a touch of white Florals. Dry, soft, powdery orris with a touch of citrus. I really like the drydown phase.

Sour heady floral at first. Dry, sweet lily of the Valley, not much else. Okay, when I'm in the mood for this kind of scent.

This has that god awful burnt sugar not as "The Other Miss Spink". This is sweet and nutty, like someone is roasting nuts with brown sugar. Maybe the foody lovers will like this, but I certainly don't.

I'm getting rotting fruit and flowers that have been left in a vase for too long. Dry, sweet, slightly burnt sugar. This is god awful on me.

Earthy and gritty. Not as smooth as the red one. This one is a more dirty Tricksy to me. I like to try the SN's but prefer my patch blended. This is the same patch as in OWS.

Aftershave all right and black musk. Black musk usually starts out kind of soury at first, and then changes to a smooth, sexy inkiness. This starts out sour, but then black musk does it's wonders on my skin and smells so smooth an sexy. It reminds me of Haunted, Panther Moon, Prurience, but not as sweet. I'll keep the imp.

I'm getting a bit of resins and a lot of vetiver at first. After a bit, the vetiver fades, and it's more sweet and resinous, and I think I'm getting a bit of black musk. This is nice, black musk is one of my favourite notes, it reminds me a lot of Haunted, though there is not the same amount of amber and musk. I like this, and will probably use it more in the winter months.

Honey and something fruity at first, like dates or figs. Dries to a mild herbal honey. I like honey, so this is a good thing, though I do have quite a few honey blends and probably don't need anymore.

Pound well together sandal-wood, Kunku, costus, Krishnaguru, Suvasika-puspha, white vala and the bark of the Deodaru pine; and, after reducing them to fine powder, mix it with honey and thoroughly dry. ... A fumigation for fascination! A strangely sensual blend, exotic, compelling, and commanding, adapted from an incense recipe found in the venerable sex manual, the Ananga Ranga. Lots of perfumey musk here, a sweet fruit, and incense. Quite dept. store perfumey at first, but dries to a sensuous incense with a touch of fruity musk. I like this, but it's not really my style. Nice to try though!

This is a sweet, food blend for sure. I'm getting cake with a citrus icing perhaps. Dries to a sugared grapefruit and maybe a touch of spice. I'm getting a bit of 'funk' in the background every once in awhile, something fungus, but it is intermittent. This is nice, it reminds me of Knockout Drops, only with grapefruit. No need for more, I have KD, but this is a nice summery blend.

Lovely apple and amber. I'm not that fond of apple in bpal, but I LOVE the amber note. The tart apple is giving a different dimension to the apple. It is slightly spicy apple. The amber is more in the background, but I still like this. It smells like fall to me. I'll probably use the imp.

Beeswax with something green and weedy. I'm guessing that would be the hemp. The green note reminds me of that oil that was available through Mutter Museum, but I can't think of the name of that one. There's also a bit of floral poking through. The wet phase is crappy, I don't like that particular green, pulpy note, but the drydown is rather lovely. Beeswax, honey and slight floral with a touch of the green pulpy note. Nice, but it's not something I would wear.

Getting vetiver pretty much the first phase. It's then vetiver and something minty, or herbally. Kind of a mismatched combo, and I'm not really liking it. It's kind of plantlike in a weedy sort of way. Not for me.

Dry olibanum, black moss, soggy ti, khus, and opoponax. I'm getting vetiver right off the bat. This is a dark, dank blend after it dries. I'm getting mostly vetiver, but it's like damp, moldy dirty vetiver. There's a sour-like quality to the blend, that is not sitting well with me, but not surprising, as it is fitting to what it's supposed to smell like. Not for me, but nice to try.

Soft, savoury and spicy at first. Dries to less spice, and more fruit. It actually smells like white wine to me, white wine single note actually. I can't even drink the stuff let alone wear it. Not for me.

Getting the peach and a heady floral right away. This ends up being a peachy sandalwood, very sweet, almost alcoholic. Definitely not my kind of blend.

Fresh green floral, non offensive, bright and cheery. I recognize it from 'A Mouse's Long and Sad Tale'. Unfortuneately it disappears very quickly on me, and what's left is soapy. Funny it sticks around very well in Mouse's but not as a single note on me. The throw is different than up close, more of the pretty ambery floral, and less soapy. More soapy up close. I do like how the air smells around me, and I'll certainly keep the imp, but 'Mouse' is superior in the way the Sweet Pea comes out in the blend. Still, this is very nice!

Savoury at first, I think there's something cumin/curry like here. It's like a pantry with herbs in it. Dry, still herbal, but more wearable, musky herbal, slightly sweet. Not bad, but not really something I'd wear.
