  1. Very nice, light summery scent. Unfortunately, it smells very much like another woman I know who treated me poorly. Not sure if I can stand it for that reason. If it weren't for that, I would keep the imp, but probably not get a bottle.


  2. Hmm, I am not much of a piney person. To me, this smells like a Christmas tree that has one of those orange pomaders nearby. Or maybe one of those liquid potpourri that you put in one of those simmer pots for "Winter Wonderland" smell. Think I will have to pass.


  3. For some reason, this smells like a "poor woman's" version of Carnaval Diabolique to me. I am not sure why, but when I put it on, I just want to go put on "the real thing" of Carnaval Diabloique. Maybe the slight hint of lemon?


  4. Without reading the notes, this seemed to have cedar in it. However, to be fair it could just be residue from one of the five other imps that I tried today. This fades quickly and I didn't get much throw from it.


  5. Agh. Maybe I should limit myself to testing two new scents per day. This is the third I tried today. Perhaps it was the combination of the other two on me (Meshenet + Organ Grinder) plus this one, but I had to scrub it off right away. I feel like I am radiating patchouli. Actually, since none of these ingredients look appealing to me, no wonder it is a pass.


  6. This smells great in the bottle but just not my thing on my skin. Perhaps as a nice lotion or something. It is just too foody and burnt smelling. Quelle domage.

     

    ETA: 2 years later, and I am glad I kept the bottle.

    It was one of those that I could never bring myself to swap.

    It is a sweet caramel smell, no longer burnt.


  7. I think something is wrong with my sniffer because all the scents I have tried lately seem the same to me. This just becomes a heavy, clingy, non-descript floral. Reminds me a bit of Pannychis I think. Not for use when you have a headache.


  8. I really like the IDEA of these notes. However, after a brief nice moment upon application, they become "a bouquet of flowers left in the vase with water that hasn't been changed in a week" heading towards rotten.

    I think BPAL florals just don't work on me. Now that I think about it, perhaps commercial flowers don't work either.


  9. Perhaps my body chemistry is off these past couple of days, because everything I have tried lately makes me want to be sick.

    I don't really like the dragon blends. This smells mainly like patchouli to me, a bit of smoke, and myrrh.

     

    Very slightly reminds me of Lust, I guess it is the myrrh and patchouli. Strange. I love Lust, this leaves me feeling urpy.


  10. I was looking forward to this one, especially the banana and coconut. However, it just doesn't feel right. It actually makes me want to be *sick*. Maybe it is the chili pepper. I don't know.


  11. Very nice. I thought I would like Sugar Moon better than Hanami, but no. This is a very light scent. Reminds me slightly of the Cherry Blossom fragrance from L'Occitane. I just wish it was stronger (more throw).

     

    Edited: I found this to be the perfect scent to wear for Easter. Outside my in-law's, their cherry tree was blooming. I found that I had to apply it three times throughout the day (and really quite slathering).
