In the bottle - green - like moss and English Ivy, grass and sunlight. Interestingly enough, I get NO berries.

Wet on skin - still green, more sage-y though

Dry - the berry makes its appearence - subtley at first, then gets stronger, but not too sweet. Simply fresh and unadulterated, like smelling berries on the bush, not in a cake/candy/sweets form.

Overall, this would be a super fresh late spring early summer smell. The throw is good, even though the scent is light and airy.

Damn it! This went from being OK to being incredible, and now I have to add it to my bottle wishlist. Crap.

In the bottle: all I smell is tobacco and ginger - this one definitely has bite! The ginger does have some heat to it to me.

Wet on skin: wood comes out a little more, and the bitter clove lives up to its name.

As it dries: the spices blend a little more, each note developing until it becomes harder to tell them apart. But there is still a smokiness behind it. No patchouli is noticeable to me - which is good because I cannot usually wear it.

Dry: This is the sexiest thing I have worn, moreso than any of the Love Potions I have tried. This is like, rip your clothes off and ravage me sexy.

While, yes, I do think that this would be spectacular on the right guy, I was surprised at how incredibly sultry and feminine this smelled on me.

Husband got one whiff of it and whispered, "wow, you smell good" with a familiar twinkle in his eye. I will definitely be using this bottle up and searching for more.

Throw was good, but it did not last as long on me as it has on others :-(

In a daring mood - and in a hurry - this morning, I pulled the first imp I could get my hands on out of my imp box and slathered some oil on. I figured, very few things have not worked for me so far.

At first, the scent was sweet - I did not realize it was pear, but I can see that now. It smelled lovely, at first.

As I was driving to work, and the oil was drying, the sweet, musky smell on my wrists that I was up in the air about turned into the cloyingly floral smell of cheap laundry detergent. It was as if I had spilled an entire bottle of laundry detergent on me. Not a repugnant smell - at least people would think I was clean :-)

The floral notes in this completely overpowered the fruit, and the musk - which is usually the most prominent note in any scent on me.

Maybe I will give this another try on another day - but so far, this is a swapper.

I absolutely loved Jailbait - not thinking I would at all. It is fresh and giggly. I did not get pink bubblegum from the imp, I got a string whiff of Juicy Fruit. And yes, it took me back 15 years or so.

Wet - Juicy Fruit

Drying - More scents popping out, some cherry, some citrus. Mouthwatering and yummy, but not really foody.

Dry - soft and sensual, light and airy like a first kiss.

I can understand why it is called Jailbait, since it is so sweet and seductive, but for me it mellows into a much more innocent and flirtatious smell.

Really, it reminded of what it feels like the first time you have a young crush - falling for a boy a few years older. He finally calls and you go on that first date. You kiss and you are walking on air.

This would be an INCREDIBLE summer smell on me - worth many bottles - if my skin did not just devour it. Within 20 minutes, it is just a whisper (much like one's first true love...lol)

Most light smells either get soaked up in my skin right away, or "turn" on me somehow. Fae was gorgeous.

In the bottle, it smelled like a sweet wine. Crisp and bubbly and golden - a little peach, maybe nectarine.

Wet - white musk/fruit.

Dry - simply sparkling. Gold and green, like other posters have said. A great spring/summer scent.

Definitely enjoyed - might be up for a big bottle.

I have noticed that any scent that has ANY musk in it, the musk pops out right away. I love musk, and normally I would not mind, but it overpowers the other smells so that they do not stick around as long as I would like :-(

4.5/5

I tried this on without reading many reviews, and my experience was similar to so many of them....

When I opened the bottle, all I could think of was "ummm, this is so NOT going to work." The first scent that I almost choked on when opening the bottle. Someone previously said it smelled like dirty flower water. Absolutely. The kind left over when the flowers have been dead a week, you have been on vacation and forgot to empty the vase before you left.

Wet on skin: Pure smoke and bitter dead leaves. More palatable, but still not something I want to smell like.

Drying: All the different scents and tones revolve in and out. It reminds me of the smell of trash burning at my grandmother's little house in the Poconos in the middle/end of fall. Smells come and go - bitter, savory, sweet then bitter again. How is it possible for something to change smells so often?

Dry: (after 5 minutes) beautiful. mulled cider with cloves. playing outside in the fall leaves while the grownups cook Thanksgiving dinner. much gentler a smell. subtle.

The only drawback to TDOA is that the end result is so gentle and soft, if you want others to enjoy, you would have to put a bunch on and go away for 5-10 minutes while it calmed down. I would be afraid to use so much because the wet/drying stage is so overwhelmingly pungent.

I had to get the nerve to try this on my skin - the sugar smell from the bottle was so strong. I thought it was like smelling vanilla extract straight from the bottle.

My husband said - yummy - when he smelled it out of the bottle. I was not so sure. Of course, I accidentally got the oil on the tip of my nose last night, so all i smelled was warm sugar for hours - not so bad.

Tried it this morning on the skin. It goes from burnt sugar to warm sugar to maple syrup on my skin. I never got any spices.

It reminded me of early spring in New England when the maple syrup is being made and you can go to Sugar Shacks and get brand new freshly tapped maple syrup. The process makes the whole house smell like this oil.

A great smell, just not for me to wear - it would make a great house smell. DH loves the smell on me. Can't stop sniffing. Daughter likes it too.

I received a sniffie/testie imp with an Ebay order today, and I thought, at first, that it was Murder of Crows. Regardless, I was intrigued. Put it on right after a shower.

I can only think to describe Crow Moon like this:

It is one of those late night talks with someone you love, or used to love, or want to love. You and he (or she) go for a late night walk through the woods on cold dark February night at 2am. Snow that fell 2 days ago is still on the ground, but is crunchy and almost all melted in little piles around the roots of trees.

He lights a cigarette and the smell of the acrid smoke cuts through the freshness of the night. Sharp but not unpleasant. You keep talking and walking. There is crying, there are hurt feelings.

After a few hours, and a roller coaster of emotions, you realize this is not going to work out. But, it is OK. The sun is coming up, and it is getting warmer. You and he have worked through a lot, and are better, as friends, for it. But, you are exhausted, your head is spinning and aches from the long, emotionally fatiguing night.

You continue to walk, home? to, and you see some flowers budding through where there had been snow just hours earlier.

In less Emo terms, I got a string, sharp whiff of smoke when I opened the imp. Dark Green and Muddy Browns. Definitely ozone and mint of a cold night. Foresty.

Wet: Herby, woody

Dry - same as above, but after 20 minutes, the soft musk creeps in (finally) very nice, very soft.

Earlier, this was described as "aloof" - absolutely. Haunting and sad, but with hope.

While I would not have thought I would have liked this - it smelled delicious on me. Not a scent I would wear often, or need a bottle of, but it was awesome to get to try it. It does smell like an (expensive) perfume that I know, but cannot put my finger on.

Actually, concrescence, you gave me great info - because I was wondering about why CCNow has said shipped for weeks.

I figured it was as you stated, but was not sure and was afriad to ask

So, let me ask a newbie question. If I make an order tonight (ok, let's get real, WHEN I order tonight) with a CC or with PayPal - will I get charged immediately or when they ship?

Disclaimer - I do not usually like fruity, sweet smells AT ALL.

HOWEVER, I love Fire Pig. Even hours after application, smelling my wrists makes my mouth water. It is sweet and tart.

Just smelling it from the bottle enhances one's mood - you simply CANNOT be grumpy if you smell this. I am happy go Lucky. Better than Prozac.

The smell right out of the bottle is ripe, luscious fresh summer fruit.

Wet on skin, it turns more floral. I usually do not agree with florals but this is a soft sensual floral - it was described as tropical and I would agree with that.

I also got a brief, lovely waft of candy necklace.

Drying, it softens and turns warm and soft instead of so bright. Makes my heart race.

Even if the brightness and loudness scares you out of the bottle, you should give Fire Pig a try!
