  1. hmmm intresting

     

    in the vial it was veryy lily i think

     

    wet: lily/rose still more lily then rose

     

    dry: umm coffee? w/lilly, and a hint of rose.

     

    this is very fresh the coffee smell deepens it , before it showed up it was a green fresh scent reminding me of a floral fridge but now it is a different animal i like it better w/ the coffe smell :P


  2. wow this one is strong, in the bottle it was light, i couldn't detect much

     

    wet hello musk!

    drying down it is becoming louder and louder, it is very musky, white musk the rose is soo soo faint which saddens me as i wanted it to be the other way around.

     

    this one is masculine smelling to me, but i do not think i want dh to try it...gonna swap it away.


  3. hmmm in the vial: violets

     

    on: per solution....violets tend to go a bit perm solution one me i am wonky i guess it smells faintly of roses yet a rosy perm solution...learning violets r not my friends :P

     

    hahahahaa how times have changed violets are my love

     

    this is a violet and tea rose combination that encapsulates the best of both, it is light, summery, and floral perfection

     

     

    cheers to trying something again and loving it


  4. in the vial: almonds

     

    on: ok the hit ya in the face almonds have faded and become a strng honey almonds, more honey then almonds, very very faintly spicy, gorgeous, it *does* remind me of a richer deeper danaoshee but i love them both. definitely a keeper for me


  5. wet: all cypress

     

    on: cypress remains the most striking note, the patchouli is fainter but there and a wee hello from tonka, but that is abt it, it is a dark woodsy, resinous smell w/ a hint of patchouli. nice but not my favorite.


  6. I am not one to really enjoy watery notes for sure. but my dd wanted to try it so i ordered teh imp.

     

    in the vial: minty

     

    on: mainly minty, i get the juniper too, this actually smells cold, makes my nose chilly, it really is not bad at all of an aquatic (and for me that says alot :P ) if you anjoy aquatics, and minty freshness, this one is surely for you.


  7. holy schnikies....

     

     

    wow....

     

    drolling here...

     

    i am going to have a hard time reviewing this one as i must stop sniffing to type. did i say wow?

     

    in the vial it was sweet sweet, buttery, toffee, almost could feel it sticking to the roof of my mouth.

     

    on....wow!!!! the hazelnut is more prominent, but it still has the buttery toffee feel, chocolate, is the kicker! this one is stunning and delicious and definitely gluttonous.


  8. OHHHHHH OHHHHHH OHHHHHHH

     

    i the vial it smelled of amoretto and citrus

     

    wet almonds strong sweet almonds

     

    dry: there has to be dragons blood, almonds, citrus(which citrus bergamont? grapefruit? unsure) there is a definite boozy scent, and possibly vanilla. this is simply devie i adore it and can't wait to get a big bottle when i can!


  9. huh in the vial it smells like bubble stuff that kids use to blow bubbles...

     

    on it is completely different thank goodness, i really get alot of chardonay, a touch of smoke but it is fleeting not lingering smoke, the vanilla and coconut really are intertwined this is an absolutely gorgeous scent, how many 5ml can u order before u must be commited :P

     

    have it on again today and it is very very tonka, tonka and chardonnay, gorgeous, smokey sexy scent.


  10. wow i didn't get cinnamon at all...i love cinnamon,

     

    anyway it is a rich heavy scent i get alot of honey smell, and some myrrh no honeysuckle and cinnamon. it has a similar feel as o to me, unsure why. but anyway i love it it is a beautiful rich thick scent :P


  11. I have found yet another note i enjoy, leather.

     

    thsi is a sexy, hot smell (duh) on me it is mostly leather, but w/ a smokey, boozy background, like I am just comin home from an after dinner drink at a pub.

     

    for me a boozy, leather, and smoke is cool in my book :P


  12. wow what a spicey hot scent. perfect!

     

    dragon's blood creates the base, w/ a nice warm peppery, kick. The clove and cinnamon are just barely there (udsually my chemistry magnifies them) all around a nice hot firey scent.


  13. in the vial, definitely something burning

     

    wet: ash like cleaning the fireplace don't know if i can take this one. maybe if i layer it under something else.

     

    dry: much nicer, not nearly as offensive on my nose. now it is a hot incensey smell, very smoldering, and smokey yet the ashy smell has gone away thank goodness. i still think it is a layering smell for me but it is nice.


  14. wow this one is very complex. i can't really distinguish single notes. it was pretty floral wet but dry down is not so much floral, it is definitely a dark smell, it gives me the same feeling as dia de los meurtos. I have no clue why but it is really reminding me of dia, which is good cause i love dia.


  15. in the vial butterscotch schnapps

     

    wet: rich creamy butterscotch yummy and sticky yet w/ a rummy background.

     

    dry down, the butterscotch fades a bit it is a nice buttery rum. very very nice i love this one.


  16. in the vial: smells like pur vetiver

     

    wet: wow that is some vetiver

     

    dry: ahhh so this isn't a single note :P it becomes a very nice, blend of spices and the earthy smell of you guessed it vetiver, but hey i am a vetiver fool. i was just telling a friend saturday how vetiver is a great note :D i want my dh to try this one for some reason i think it would be yummy on him. it is a good scent for my darker days.


  17. in the vial: never smelled anything like it. not sure thsi wil be good

     

     

    wet: patchouli

     

     

    dry...wow how nice this mellowed, i don't get any orange blossom, it is a ginger patchouli blend that is slightly sweet (presumably from teh blossoms yet not distinguishably orange) me likes.


  18. I must be a freak....I do not smell almonds.

    in the vial: light very light sweet honey milk, not milk like we get at the grocery store, but fresh from the farm up the street milk, but it is wramed up, sweetened

     

    wet: a creamy, sweet, fresh grain smell. very light and innocent smelling

     

    dry: wow i am not much into fresh light scents but i like her. it is a white, frothy creamy smell. is there honey in this one? and definitely a grain of some sort. very very nice.


  19. in the vial it is way way fruity.

     

    wet: still very fruity ike tutti fruity

     

    drydown: awe much nicer, the wine is the front runner right now, i am thinking a berry wine not a grape wine. but I also am picking up a resinous smell? hmmm i love resins am i projecting it? :P i keep sniffing and i definitely get a berry wine, resin smell. simpley beautiful. this is a summery scent to me.

     

    eta: i got it...this scent was doin so mojo w/ my mind and i knew the smell was something pleasant that i remebered...hawaii it smells like my trip to hawaii, no clue why but that in itself is enough to get a big bottle who wouldn't want hawaii in a bottle...now to figure out why hawaii? :D


  20. hmmmm in the vial grapefruit

     

    wet: more precicely grapefruit pith

     

    dry: i still get mostly grapefruit, the floral is extremely light and playing peekaboo, it is a grapefruit musk combo on me mostly. at first I was liek ummm don't think so, but cheshire keeps luring me back for another sniff w/ that damn smile. definitely will use the imp, possibly buy more :P
