    Midway

    In the bottle: Just like what you'd expect, Midway is a glorious bit of bottled goodness that smells like funnel cakes, cotton candy, and other treats. I figured it would be perfect. On me: Imagine if you took a scratch n sniff sugar cookie sticker and placed it on top of a random piece of Barbie dream house furniture. That's how Midway smells on me. Like cookie scented plastic. It didn't change a bit after it dried down either. Dang.

    Strawberry Moon 2005

    I'll repeat the review I gave this on the Lush forum... At first... Straight, real strawberry juice with a little cream. Mmmm... After a while... What I imagine you would smell like after a long romp outside in the warm sun with a really hot guy in the middle of a strawberry patch. It's sooooooo good.

    Hymn

    In the bottle: A very light, striking floral with a little green and something else I can't describe... On me: It started out as a warmer, more heady version of the bottle smell. I thought I'd like it. But then this sharp soapy smell started to appear almost instantly, and it just got stronger and stronger until I got a headache. Like someone else said, it smells like soap...and that's about it. Very NICE soap, but soap all the same. Darn. I wanted to like it.

    Jailbait

    In the bottle, like most everyone else said, this is total sweet bubblegum and candy. It originally smelled like something I'd maybe like in a candle, but not necessarily on me. On me, it started to change a bit. I still smelled the bubblegum, but something fruity and more deep started to show up. I'm not sure if it was berries or what, but it started to get a tad more interesting. Once it started to dry down, I totally began to understand why this is called Jailbait. It smelled very sweet an innocent, but had an edge to it that was quite sexy. The fruity smell almost turned into something like red wine. It faded pretty quickly, unfortunately, but I'd definitely use the rest of my imp.

    Kurukulla

    I so wanted to like this. Rose scents typically do very well on me, and I figured the addition of lotus would do even better things. In the bottle: Strong, STRONG floral. I don't know if my nose is just overly sensitive today, but this practically knocked me out at first whiff. Wet: It calmed down a bit into an ultra-feminine, but almost heady floral. I liked it at this point. Dry down: The touch of what I guess is the lotus started to fade a bit, and all I could smell was the rose with a touch of something almost smoky. It was hard to describe. I was still liking it at this point. Dry: It suddenly went putrid on me, and my wrists smelled like someone had peed on them. Drat. After a few hours: Pee and baby powder. Oh well.

    Dragon's Tears

    Before I begin, this is my first ever real review so bear with me if it's boring... I've had this imp of Dragon's Tears for a while now, and I think the red color of the blend scared me away from trying it on. Well, today I slathered some on out of sheer curiosity. In the bottle - It smelled really, really bitter to me with a watery undertone. I didn't think I'd like it at all. Wet - Much like it smelled in the bottle, but with a tad more warmth for good measure. It started to get better with that salty smell that began with waft through with a hint of florals. This is getting REALLY complex. Drydown - What do I smell? Smoke? This seriously smells smoky to me, and I don't think any other oil has ever had that effect on my skin. I LIKE it. It's like a smoky room where the people smoking are huffing on really sweetly scented cigarettes, and tht salty/floral undertone is still there. Dry - This one was a suprise. I LOVE it. I don't think I'm going to spring for a bottle quite yet, but I see another imp in my future after this one runs out.
