  1. I got this as a frimp, but I was really happy because I was planning on ordering it eventually.

     

    Imp: Lemony with a pinch of honeysuckle.

     

    Wet: Mostly honeysuckle, but there's a lot of lemon, as well. It definitely has a sting to it. My friend said "It smells like a baby. But in a good way. Like a baby prostitute." Hmm...I guess that's ok. :P

     

    Dry: Yum! Lemony floral scent. I can smell the heliotrope now, but it's not overwhelming. It reminds me of summer. I think it would be good for a picnic or a bright summer morning. I like!


  2. Inspired by and created for my beloved Tedwin: my eternal, beautiful, wicked Dorian Gray. Refined, elegant, and lovely, with a noble bearing and seemingly gentle air. This blend is an artful deception: a sweet gilded blossom lying over a twisted and corrupted core. A Victorian fougere with three pale musks and dark, sugared vanilla tea.


    Dorian didn't really work well on my skin. I'll have to give it another shot, though.

    Imp: For some reason I smell pine trees. Like the smell of a really sweet pine tree. Hmm...
    Wet on skin: Same as in the imp. However, I now smell the vanilla.
    Dry: It definitely smells like the description, but with a soapy undertone. I think I need to give it another try soon...

  3. Ooohhh man. FANTASTIC!

     

    Imp: Spicy, vanilla, and patchouli.

    Wet on skin: Mostly patchouli. I smell some musk, too.

    Dry on skin: *drool* Lots of vanilla and a little incense. Delicious!

     

    I think I must buy a larger amount, seeing that I only have an imp. Hooray!


  4. I am in love! :P When I opened the imp, the first word I uttered was "WOW!"

     

    Imp: Vanilla, spices, and incense.

    Wet on skin: All incense now...

    Dry: Ahh!! I love it. Smells the way it smelled in the imp but with more depth. I ran up to my mom and made her smell my wrist. Her reaction, like mine, was "WOW!"


  5. In the imp: Almond and sweet.

    Wet on skin: Still almond.

    Dry: Almond and cherry...much like the scent of Jergen's Original Lotion in Cherry Almond. Hmm...

     

     

    Edit: The scent has definitely grown on me. I even got a complement that I smelled good!


  6. In the imp: Sweet with a hint of musk.

    Wet on skin: More musk now.

    Dry on skin: Smells like a fire burning in the distance! I also smell patchouli now.

     

    Interesting. When I first smelled it, it made my sinuses go crazy and I had a sneezing fit. Then it mellowed a bit and my nose could handle the scent. Not sure I'm crazy about it now that I smell my pulse points a couple hours after applying it. I'll have to try it again some other day...


  7. In the imp: Milk chocolate.

    Wet on skin: Chocolate and vanilla.

    Dry: Sandalwood, vanilla, and a little chocolate.

     

    I was immediately turned off by the sweetness of the chocolate when I first opened the imp. I knew before putting this on my skin that I wasn't going out today, hence the reason I chanced applying it. However, I do like the way it smells on my skin now that it's dry. It's a different type of scent than the ones I usually choose. I'm sure it would be very nice if I wore it on a date.


  8. Wet on skin: Roses with a slight hint of patchouli.

    Dry after about three hours: The rose is still going strong, but now there are strong notes of sandalwood and patchouli, as well. It's a nice, incensy blend of scents!


  9. Hmm...I wasn't crazy about this one.

    In the vial: Strawberry

    On my skin after two hours: Smells powdery...a little like heliotrope. There's a hint of musk as well.

     

    Overall, the scent kind of bothered my sinuses. I gave it to a friend who absolutely loves the way it smells on her skin.


  10. Second BPAL oil ever! It's quite different compared to the oil I tried yesterday (Loviatar)!

     

    Within a minute of applying: It smells very citrusy and sweet on my skin. Very fresh...

    Within two hours: The citrus notes faded mainly into opium, with a whif of lily of the valley.

     

    I like it a lot!


  11. Wow. My first six imps finally arrived in the mail today and I was so excited to try one. When I opened the Loviatar vial, I was instantly drawn to the depth of the scent.

     

    First five minutes: smells very woody on my skin.

     

    Within an hour: woodiness melts into notes of musk, leather, and myrrh.

     

    This is a great fall/winter scent.
