Coldfire

Imp: Ozone-y and cedar to my nose on the initial sniff.

Sharp but not unpleasant.

Wet On Me: Cedar first now. Then that ozone again, with

the tiniest traces of the verbena/citrus in it.

Drying Down: Cedar-y with bare hints of citrus, and

occasionally the tiniest underlying amber.

Dry: The cedar and the citrus and finally more amber are

blending/melding into a wonderful light scent that is not overpowering.

 

LOVE THIS!

Lab Frimp

 

 

Imp: Ozone and wood. Or is that the amber?

Wet On me: YUM! Tiny hints of spicy carnation and

lavender over wood and ozone?

Drying Down: Wrist is trying to attach itself to

my nose. Still smells like ozone woods with spicy lavender.

Dry: Nose attached to wrist now. Masculine.

Yummy Masculine. Sean Connery yummy masculine. I must

test this on my man tonight! Yum and nom. I love masucline

scents. Wearing and smelling them

SW award frimp:

 

 

Imp: Gardenia & white flowers

Wet on Me: Heavy summer gardenia most of all.

Drying Down: More lovely, lovely, gardenia.

Dry: Gardenia, then white flowers and then the

barest hint of green behind it all. So tropical!

SW Award Frimp

 

 

 

Imp: Herbal, green and clean

Wet on Me: More herbal, green and clean

Drying Down: Tiny floral traces begin to

peep thru the herbalness. Starts heading towards

aquatic.

Dry: Flowers and herbs and aquatic OH MY!

This is capitvating and haunting. LOVE IT!

Preface: I'm not a foodie much when it comes to wearing scents.

 

 

 

Bottle: Rich chocolates with hint of apple

Wet on Me: When I inhale, first I get the

chocolates, then the apple, then the barest caress of

honeysuckle.

Drying Down: Now the spicey notes come

out to play. So I get a spicy apple-y chocolate goodness.

Dry: Sweet & lovely but not overly sweet.

I am so glad this did not come off too foody on me. This

is rich and dark with the fruit, flower and spices helping to

make this a complex lil number. I'm liking this lil number.

This was a partial bottle included in a newbie imp pack I got.

 

 

 

Bottle: Spicey dark. Dragon's Blood?

Wet on Me: Jasmine? Incense?

Drying Down: Jasmine incense now

Dry: Jasmine incense still but mostly jasmine.

 

This is interesting. Not sure in what context I might be wanting

to use this for.

Imp from a friend:

 

 

 

Imp: Deep, Dark incense first and then

cedarwood

Wet On Me: now the Cedarwood and then

the dark incense of patchouli

Drying Down: Still cedarwood first and then

the lovely dark incense

Dry: I smell mostly just the cedarwood now.

There is an underlying scent trail of the patchouli with it.

No sign of the other 2 notes tho. They made for the hills.

Btw...the throw and stay of the scents with cedarwoods are

phenominal! This is a nice to have imp.

Imp from a friend

 

 

 

Imp: Light Floral with hints of citrus in the

background. Swampy light floral

Wet On Me: Can't put my finger on it. Barest

coconut, green & floral

Drying Down: Aquatic green & floral with coconut.

Dry: This gets heavier as it dries. Swampy,

herbal-y floral with something slightly disturbing lying

underneath

 

This is nice. I'll keep the imp.

Another imp from a friend

 

 

 

Imp: Sharp herbal and fruity

Wet on me: Black current now but

with a sharpness

Drying Down: Incense now. All fruit

and herb are gone.

Dry: Incense and powder now.

 

This is nice but I'm not married to it. This one might need re-homing

Imp from a friend

 

 

 

Imp: Smells like my local witch shop! YUM!

Wet On Me: Not so much like my fave

witch shop any more. Rose now, Nice sharp rose, not

overly sweet rose. Almost an aquatic rose scent over incense.

Drying Down: It's turned to harsh air freshener rose

now to my nose.

Dry: Powder Room Rose. Boo! Even the incense

is gone now.

 

In the initial sniff I had really high hopesm but now after it's dry

not so much for me. This goes in the re-home pile for sure.

Imp from friend

 

 

 

Imp: Ozone! and herbal-y!

Wet on Me: Ozone and leather! And ghost

whisper of ivy.

Drying Down: Leather first and then the woods

come out to play bringing the burnt grasses with them.

Dry: Leathery woods with ivy and grasses. And the

ozone comes back into the background.

 

This is an interesting scent. I'm on the fence about it. Not sure

if I like or dislike it. Or if it will hit the rehoming pile.

Imp from a friend

 

 

 

Imp: Cherry/Almond & myrrh

Wet on Me: Myrrh & barest whiff of vanilla.

Drying Down: This jangles in my nose. Smells musty

& old with peeps of patchouli waking up

Dry: Musty myrrh & patchouli. I had high hopes for

this one as I was hoping the lime would come thru for me. But alas no.

 

This one goes on the re-homing pile

Imp from a fellow witch friend:

 

 

 

Imp: Jasmine & flowers

Wet on Me: Sharp flowers now.

Drying down: barest hint of vanilla and

perhaps a trace of the sandalwood

Dry: Just sharp flowers over sandalwood

now. Almost an aquatic feel to it.

 

This is lovely and very nice. To keep as an imp.

Imp: Butterscotch and the cherry smell of

almonds.

Wet on Me: Butter rum wtih cherry almonds

Drying Down: musty hazelnut now. Kind of

stale.

Dry: Musty over sweet candle shop. Almost a

fall halloween scent.

 

This is not really my cup of tea. Off to the re-homing pile.

imp from friend:


Imp: astringent-y rose
Wet on me: Too rosey
Drying Down: roses? roses.
Dry: All roses all the time.
sometimes perhaps a phantom trace of vanilla?
Oh this is just not for me. I'll put this in the pass
along pile.

Imp: Jasmine first and then sandalwood

Wet on Me: more sandalwood now, then comes

the jasmine and then that touch of musk

Drying Down: Sweet now. sweet floral with

incense to my nose.

Dry: More 'incense' than floral now. And I can almost

detect a trace of spice in there.

Throw/Stay Throw is short and stay is decent.

This is a good scent to wear when you don't want to stick out scent

wise. Like work, school etc.

Imp from a fellow witch friend

 

 

 

Imp: Chocolate over tropical floral

Wet on me: Chocolate & tobaccow now

with the barest hints of floral peeing thru

Drying Down: Chocolate floral now,

deep & lush and heady.

Dry: Deep sniffs I smell chocolate floral

with traces of rich tobacco. This is dark and shadowy.

Throw/Stay: Very nice. Just enough.

This is to be used sparingly and with reverence, much like

calling on Kali Ma herself.

Imp from Marared.

 

 

 

Imp: Citrus & sandalwood

Wet on Me: Floral now. Jasimine, water lily &

wisteria

Drying Down: Still Floral. Citrust has gone now

Jasmine, water lily and wisteria draped over the red sandalwood.

Dry: Citrus went bye-bye. What remains is a lovely

jasmine fronted blend with hints of the sandalwood

Throw/Stay: Fairly decent.

This is nice. I may not reach for this imp that often but I would

not kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

Got this frimped to me:

 

 

 

Imp: Initial hit of bergamot over floral. 2nd sniff I get the sweetness of

jasmine and lavender.

Wet On Me: More citrus comes thru now, even with deep sniffs.

Drying Down: Citrus over very light floral. But I get a total masculine

vibe on this one. Which is good because I like wearing some masculine scents.

Dry:Clean citrus yumminess. Sharp and clean. Barest trace of thyme.

Nose now attached permanently to my wrist. Last night I tested on the Bird...OMG

he smelled of yumminess and my nose was attached to him for the night!

Throw/Stay:Absolutely divine. When Bird moved last night I could smell it

when I move my wrist today I get divine scent trails in the air.

 

Tried on Bird last night and total keeper. In fact many bottles MUST be ordered as I will

wear this and Bird needs to wear this. OOOOF!

Bottle that is gift from friend destashing what she did not like to me!

 

 

 

Bottle: Jasmine fighting with patchouli and cedarwood.

Wet on Me: Lemon! Lemon over woods!

Drying Down: More lemon, less woods. Barest trace

of Jasmine if I inhale very close and very deep.

Dry: Strong Lemon Cedarwood. Has a post rain

sharpness about it. Almost aquatic.

Throw/Stay: both are very good.

 

I like this one. Not sure what mood I might wear it for, but I like it!

Got a bottle unsniffed at the lunacy.

 

 

Bottle:Lemon Cookie. Lemony Sweet but to me

very sunny!

Wet on Me: lemon sweet, clove and then honey

Drying Down: Now there is spices over sweetness

with a hint of lemon. But all of that is over honey!

Dry:Honey sweet with barest whiffs of lemon and spice.

Stay/Throw:Not too long. But I get the occaisional whiff as I move my arm.

 

I like this. I'm not married to it. I think I found my first item for my first swap or sale posting.

This was a frimp from a friend.

 

 

Imp: Mint on the intitial sniff, then a minty herb.

Wet On me: Mint grass!

Drying Down: Fresh cut grass and mint. Kind of herbal-y

Dry: Grass now. Mint if I sniff deep enough.

Throw/Stay: When I move my arm during the course of

worki, it throws a cut grass scent that stops me and makes me think

a door to the outside is open. Then I remember I'm testing a BPAL.

This will probably find it's way to the re-homing group. I like it, I'm just

not going to marry it.

Frimp from a friend

 

 

Imp: Initially a sharpness and then a rose softness.

Wet On Me: Now powdery white roses

Drying Down: The sharpness is inthe background now

under the soft rose and powder

Dry: Went to powder on me very quickly. It's nice

but I'm not fond of smelling like powder most days.

Stay/Throw: not very long for either. I think this will

go in the re-homing pile.

Imp: I smell red currant & musk and the barest

hint of grapefruit.

Wet On Me: Musky Red currant now, then the

herbal from the chamomile.

Drying Down: Less grapefruit now and more of the

musky red currant and now barest hint of lavender

Dry: Musky herbs with a sweetness. Pretty but

no sharp grapefruit for me Went to powder after a while.

Throw/Stay: Too short.

 

ADDED March 12:

 

Imp: grapefruit, currant and lavender with whisps of the Chamomile

Wet on me: more Lavender and then grapefruit now

Drying down: the lavender and chamomile are blending and giving

such a soothing vibe and the musk whisps and dances around it all playing

peek-a-boo with my nose.

Dry: The grapefruit and current have run away leaving a ring around the

rosey of the lavender, musk and chamomile. Very nice. A keeper.

In the bottle this smells of deep thick patchouli and the deep red musk. When I put it on I could smell the black currant, and orchid and mimosa layering over the red musk into a nice dark nummy goodness. As it was inthe drying down stage on me it was just Oooh La La red musky sexiness on me with loads of lovely sweetness. AS it dried this was a black current red musk. This made me feel so sexy wearing it. So womanly...like a Goddess!
