in the vial its STRONG but if you give this time, it turnes out lovely...trust meh.

on my skin the rose turns powdery and the amber is balanced with musk. its a very dark brooding sort of scent. i mean it took a while to develop on my skin but it turned out well.

overall: dont be intimidated by the rose, its not HARSH on me but then again who knows on YOU. its a really nice scent. dark and just lovely. it develops well when warmed up between the wrists. i swear you could smell me down the hall.

definately putting this on the wanted list but its not high priority. i'll get one though...

man in the bottle it smelled so sweet and florally and its a shame this turned out like irish spring on my skin.

honeysuckles do that to me, i literally smell like a bar of soap and it wont wash off. ha. geeezzzz.

overall: sticking to the imp

carnation, carnation, where art thou?

geez seriously its all orange blossom. no bueno, people. and not even a sweet orange slice orange, its like a soury sort of blend on my skin. HEY Maybe it'll work on you but this dermis is not havin it.

a couple people above said fruit loops, funny you mention that, friends! because now all of the sudden it smells like that to me.

official verdict: the bottle will stay half full like it was received. i'll save it and get some decants and fill it just for peace of mind but i dont think im using this anytime soon.

this smells like a tootsie roll in/out of the bottle and splashed on my wrist. straight up, i smell nothing but chocolate.

love it and i have a bottle, so there.

it smells very much like orchid on my skin. TONs of orchid and cucumber. but then again, this perfume is difficult to discern which note is the most pronounced. its a very feminine floral and definately one i'll wear.

glad i purchased a bottle!

i love amber. I DO REALLY but this one, is smelling like a MANBER than shamber on me. its like something id throw at my dad or something and im OHKAY with manly scents but this is not one of them for me.

drydown is a powdery amber but nonethless amber to epic proportions.

overall: not a fan, ill stick to the imp and frimp it.

whatever it is in this, its really green. like, i feel im in the middle of the florists' while they cut off leaves/stems prepping the flowers. must be the gardenia.

applied: gardinia and ever so slight peach. actually nix that, peach is not so detectable but the honey is. its honey and gardenia on me.

overall: im not crazy about it but it mixes nicely. maybe a good scent to put on when im at a loss as to what to wear.

i received this decant as a frimp and MAN AM I PLEASED.

its like smelling those delicious cookies at the mall in torturous agony because you cant eat them!

applied i smell yummy with notes of almond and sugar wafting up my nose. i dont smell much rum on my skin but i can attest to the fact that i smell quite literally, like a bakery. A YUMMY YUMMY bakery.

this scent reminds me that i can be edible without having jailbait on 24/7.

overall: going to scour the earth for a bottle

as a fan of carnations im always in love with a new carnation scent that comes my way, this is by far, no different.

in the bottle: it smells of amber but the rose and carnation mix to an indescribable mix that, if not told, i'd probably wouldnt have been able to pick them apart. they're blended equally

on my skin: heaven, this easily rivals all of my favorites by far. its the perfect mix of spice but on the same token soft and not loud. the amber is far more pronounced. and DONT be deterred by the mention of rose, I WAS, and not once did i detect something that smelled like grandma's sock drawer.

overal: thank god i have a bottle! this is going on all over.

i received this as frimpage and WOW, it smells beautiiiiiiiiiful.

it smells like vanilla bean right in the imp but applied its as though the rest of the notes are let out; sandalwood and especially the amber. i have to say though, even as its drying its mostly amber but it still has this vanilla bean ice cream thing going on with it, reminds me of blue bell. (southern thing)

added to the wishlist and definately going to buy a bottle.

this one is right up there with my giant vulva of great honey scents. in the bottle, honey blackberry and vanilla goodness. applied: it just gets warmer and warmer as it dries on my skin. i smell the vanilla and the blackberry. this is a seriously lovely scent and im so glad i swapped my milk moon 07 for it.

overall: thank goodness i have a bottle of this stuff coming.

geez --- ABSINTHE. LOVE YOU.

in the bottle, i smell the lilac, sugar, and absinthe. ITs seriously an awesomely good scent.

applied: absinthe and definitely smelling the scorched sugar. the sugar reminds me of when i brown it for syrups. LOVE THIS STUFF. i kept sniffing my arm all day and it was ...

wet - HELL TO WASH OFF. ha. this stuff does not come off the way you'd expect. it just got stronger on me. more absinthe...loads of lilac... but its a bit more subdued.

overall: LOVE IT...LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT...its in my top of all the scents ive gotten and will be a new one i pursue.

i requested this decant and i was NOT DISAPPOINTED..

its the perfect blend of fruits and mahogany.

applied: POMEGRANITE and PLUM... the mahogany is pretty faint. as it ages, loads of mahogany in this wonderful whiff of all three...it just becomes more and more plum like as i wear it, (1 hr into it)

overall: this is going on the wishlist. i love this scent. i wish it smelled out of the bottle the way it does after a few hours on my skin but, its well worth the wait.

i thought the amber would make up for the rest of the smells in the blend but, no.

initially in the bottle it smelled like mostly lavender. i have a honey n lavender soap and this reminds me of it. good/bad. sort of.

applied: the amber really comes out but ive never been a fan of sandalwood and i can clearly smell it. ITS LIKE HELLO AND SMILING AND ASKING ME FOR A SPOT OF TEA..AH. i can also pick up the narcissus. another one not for me. they never work on my skin...they end up smelling like dirty draws.

overall: i'll keep my empty and my decant and maybe buy more along the way but am i gonna buy a full bottle from the lab? no.

its very dark in the vial. resins are overpowering and some part of me just got a headache with it.

it just didnt work out for me. maybe its the orchid (never been a big fan). either way, this is good as an imp for me.

geez, can it smell more peachy?!

initial whiff: peaches and the scent of GUMMY BEARS. like a bag full OF THEM. and that isnt bad. my girls (12 and 9 yrs old love it)

applied: peaches, peaches, peaches...

originally i purchased this because im a sucker for all things carnation but i really didnt smell the hint of it. definately going to keep this one on the wishlist, i love it.

this is so sweet and delicious. its like ooey gooey sugar draped over the florals. im usually not a lotus person either but this really converted me on the initial whiff.

applied: i smell much of both but the lotus becomes more pronounced.

overall: ADDING IT TO THE WISHLIST!

at first it reminded me of pine sol but i thought, give it a chance, Fern. SO I DID.

it smells deep and musky, applied with a rich pine. its a delicious complex scent because like the poster above i smelled the vanilla but didnt detect honey.

this is a beautiful smell, on and off. it lasts forever. ive had it on since 445pm cst and its still on going strong and gaining a fuller body.

i feel though at times, this smells like a masculine scent. i want to slather it all over my man and i think i'll do just that. bottle? of course. this is going on the wishlist.

CAN YOU SAY NEW FAVORITE? too bad it'll be gone soon!

in the imp: lots of chrysanthemums and amber.

applied: i smell so much marigold in this though but its chrysanthemums with amber just mix in so well. its a beautiful smell. im addicted. LIKE SERIOUSLY addicted.

overall: BUYING IT. the end.

can you say GLORIOUS?

if you have been dying to try a beautiful honey scent THIS IS IT.

i swear i will pillage and plunder to get a 5ml. har har. applied: nothing short of beautiful honey with sugar and a slight musk.

GEEZ, this is beautiful. ok, i'll shut up...you know how i feel.

in the vial: like brach's orange slices

oh my skin: brach's orange slices & honey

wet: still sweet and pungent with the orange really dominating

overall: i'll put this on every now and then. sticking with the imp on it or maybe not...dunno, still very torn.

im with the poster above, i received an aged imp where the liquid was extremely dark and initially intimidating to try.

deep and musky its got just a hint of spice in the bottle. smells like A LOT OF narcissus

applied narcissus and sharp vanilla.

smells like candy corn and butter to me in the imp.

applied about the same but the candy corn comes out a little more. its definately a mix of food but it works well. smells like a theatre on a friday night if it could be bottled up. WITHOUT PICKLES, tyvm.

overal: like it but i'll stick to the imp

wow i love this stuff, it's citrusy but still very light and clean and just...INNOCENT smelling? if thats even possible.

i love it. applied it sort of reminds me of cool water. wet, its about the same. very citrusy and clean.

overall: i'll probalby get a bottle and this one is going on the wishlist.

in the bottle sweet, the cherries really come out at you.

applied - i dont know, something comes off like caugh syrup.

overall: wanted to love this scent but it reminds me too much of benadryl's cherry formula for allergies. i'll keep my bottle and let it age, maybe to see if the scent deepens. I REFUSE TO GIVE UP ON THIS SCENT.
