This is, pure and simple, red velvet cake. I'm so impressed that Beth can do such a thing. Seriously. My mind is all kinds of boggly.

This is sex in the restricted section of the Hogwart's Library.

This is a light-hearted, happy, fruity, celebrative scent. It's very feminine and young but not "girly." You can definitely smell the lychee. The floral elements are not overwhelming. Overall, it's a nice, clean, happy scent. Perfect for spring/summer or any day you just need a "pick-me-up."

This is exactly what it claims to be: a light, soft, sweet pear scent. It's a very gentle, fun scent and I enjoy it quite a bit. May be worth tracking down some more. . .

This is an amazing scent. It's a slightly fruity, clean air scent. It just smells GOOD. Unfortunately, it fades so fast and has hardly any throw. But it's very pleasant while it's around.

I really thought I'd like this, but it turned into burnt brown sugar and pencil shavings on me. *sad*

OMGWTFCHERRYCHOCOLATEFLOWERS!

...

and that's pretty much it. It was overwhelming. If something that smelled like that tried to kiss me at midnight, I'd totally put a stake in its heart.

Very heavy, sugar-laden floral scent. The honeysuckle and wisteria wish to EAT MY FACE PLZKTHX. Had to wash this off. It threatened to kidnap me and stick me in a cupboard while it took over my life and conquered the world. It's . . .a little pushy.

Most ozone-y aquatic scents go straight to dryer sheets on me, but not Aeaea. It's a nice, wet blend that smells cool and comforting and slightly electric. I really like it. I don't need a bottle, but I will definitely enjoy my decant.

This. Is. Gorgeous.

I love it. It's a soft, sweet, gentle scent that smells amazing in the autumn. I got a decant and I'm afraid I'm going to have to track down every bottle in existence - by force, if necessary. . .

To me, this smelled like musty old man cologne. Very masculine, but dusty/musty, too. Not a love.

Straight up licorice on me. It's a no. I love to eat the stuff, but I sure as heck don't want to SMELL like it.

I'm not a pine girl, so I expected to hate this. I wouldn't have it at all except it came with some other decants that I DID want.

... It's really pretty! Kinda woodsy, sweet, earthy, yum. I like it a lot!

This one was SO GORGEOUS - for about 5 minutes. Then it was Peppery Roses of DOOM AND DEATH!

*sad*

This is amazing. Straight up fruit punch and whiskey. Damn.

O.

M.

G.

*GUH*

Must. Not. Drink. Oil.

It's the perfect pumpkin cheesecake scent! It's amazing!

... too bad I'm not a foody.

I dunno. I passed this around a group of friends and the only thing we could agree on is that this is not what we think of when we think of "Twu Wuv."

It's . . . dirty. But not in the good way. It smells like feet and sugar. Not a <3 for me, I'm afraid.

I am in the extreme minority in that I do not like this one at all. Oh well - my share will be going to a very happy, loving home.

This is fabulous.

I'm a huge fan of creepy, but I never wear it. It's one of those scents that I have a bottle of simply because every time I open it and sniff, I grin - I can't help it! This is in the same family. Nothing I particularly want to smell like, but a smell so riddled with positive memories that I can't let go of my imp.

I really can't say why I swapped for this. Nothing in the description appealed to me. Pumpkins? Eh. Asphalt? Beer? OMGWTF!No! Beeswax candles? Okay!

So, I got it. . . and it's nice. Pumpkin-y and spicy and only slightly beer-ish. I don't see myself wearing it much, but it was nice to get to try it.

When I saw the description, I thought "Oh, nasty! Who would want that??" Then I saw that the forum/LJ communities were going apeshit over it. WTF? So I snagged a decant. . . and then a bottle. . . .OH MY GOODNESS.

Seriously. This is sweet custard with just enough spice to be absolutely FABULOUS - MUST NOT DRINK OIL!

I got really lucky and found a bottle that did not require me to sell my soul and/or progeny.

Preemptive notes: I do not like roses, most florals, red musk, dragon's blood, most cream accords or strong fragrances.

... so why the hell do I love this?

In the bottle: Cherry cough syrup? Something sticky-sweet and coy.

Wet: Whoa. Hello, gardenia! It's a creamy, addictive, sweet scented floral. It's. . . really nice.

Dry: Can't type. Nose stuck to hand. It's a sweet, semi-waxy floral with cream and . . . who the hell knows. It's gorgeous! That's all you need to know.

In the imp: Lemon comet toilet cleaner. *nodnod* 100%

Wet: Lemon candy? WTF?

Dry: Well, hell. It's soft, musky, creamy, lemony YUM IN A BUCKET! Holy cow. I have no idea how Beth did that. She just took toilet cleaner and turned it into WIN.

This is a sweet, soft, slightly floral scent on me. I like it quite a bit, but I can't quite get my head around it well enough for a decent review. I got it in a swap with a friend who said on her it was burned sugar cookies of DEATH. It's nothing like that on me. . .

In an incredibly serendipitous swap, I actually got two imps of this . . . for free. I'm still kind of boggly about it.

Anyway, nothing can be said that hasn't already been said. It's an amazingly wonderful fresh, expensive, high-end coffee smell and I am IN LOVE. Two imps will never be enough. *sigh*
