In the imp: orange and vanilla, a very thick scent.

Wet: still orange and vanilla, very thick, but with a hint of smoke in the background.  Not much throw on me so far, as far as I can tell, but I don't seem to get throw with any perfume oils.

As the day went on, this settled into warm comforting vanilla and orange, still with that hint of smoke backing it up.  I put it on at 7:30 this morning, and by noon it had pretty much disappeared though!

Chaos Theory III Strange Attractors: DCCLIII (753)

Purchased from [i'm not sure who, because of a computer crash!] Received on 16-Dec-2009.

This is citrus and white blooms, with a slightly soapy undertone. It's soft, a bit warm, quite nice for summer.

However, I have quite a lot of citrussy/light floral summer scents so this one may get passed on.

Chaos Theory IV: Edge Of Chaos DL (550)

Purchased from [i'm not sure, having lost my notes due to a computer crash] Received 16-Dec-2009

This one starts off as a strong warm foody smell, sort of coffee/vanilla similar to what I get from Desire. As it dries down there's a harder spicy note underneath. Maybe like coffee cake baking, with coffee brewing and slightly burning! A nice scent, but so similar to Desire that I think I may swap this one away!

This smells gorgeous and unusual. Like incense burning on an altar, in a burnished gold/metal ash-catcher on a summer's evening. The metal's warmed by the heat of the day and the scent blends beuatifully with the incense used.

Definitely a keeper, for skin wear, and I think I may try it as a room scent/altar scent.

Not sure of the age of this imp, but testing it today it's definitely a keeper.

In the imp/wet on: spiced gingerbread

10 mins on: spiced cake with citrussy butter icing. Someone upthread said lemon cupcake, and it is, but a spicy sponge cake under the icing.

Dry: mellowed/softer spicy lemon drizzle cake. As if I've just finished eating a piece of the cake and the scent is still lingering.

Definitely a keeper, and if I could afford to, I'd be tempted to track down more of it!

Pixie

Not sure quite how long I've had this, at least or so months minimum.

In the imp: wood, cedar?

Wet on: soft woods, hint of incense.

As it dries: still the soft woods, tempered with spicy incense. As a fan of historical romances, it's definitely a library in a ducal house. Somewhere the gentlemen retire to with their port and cigars/pipes. More specifically, the scent of the library the morning after, before the maids have had a chance to air the room. This is what I want my library/study to smell like in my dream house!!

The throw doesn't seem to be there for me, and I don't get the leather at all, it just all blends into a gorgeous smoky spicy books/pipes/sexy librarian scent.

In short: gorgeous, and when I can afford it I'm definitely getting a bottle!! An absolute keeper!
