Coldfire

Imp: happy sweet flowers and herbs
Wet on Me: still happy sweet flowers and herbs
Drying Down: getting the hay/twigs and moss notes now over the herbs and faint flowers.....
Dry: earthy herb-y hay and moss. Interesting and good but not in my scent wheel house. Trade Pile.

Imp: fresh bright floral of the apple blosson, and hibiscus
Wet on Me: tart apple and the fig with the hibiscus
Drying Down: aahhhh hello sandalwood your sweetness is a different sort. making your presence known I see
Dry: okay that pretty happy floral disappeared and it's just sweet sandalwood. Tis okay

Trade Pile because I won't get a bottle and probably won't try it again as others are a stronger fit for me.

Imp: boozy apricot with a medicinal sharpness
Wet On Me: awww yeah....loving this apricot brandy thing on my hand!!!
Drying Down: oh this is an apricot cough syrup or cough drop. sweet, a touch sticky, but oh so delightful
Dry: this does not stick around long. the throw is amazing wet but it disappears once dry But oh this is delightful!

Imp: oooooo mama! dark apricot. faint whisps of the darkest patchouli ever
Wet on Me: by allthe gods still that dark sweep apricot and that deep dark patchouli
Drying Down: gloriously juicy apricot dripping over the dirtiest, darkest, most fabulously filthy patchouli.
Dry: by all the gods this is earthy patchouli with the juiciest apricot dripping over it! SWOON!!!!

Imp: dark, red and foreboding
Wet On Me: getting slight traces of the wine and sandalwood
Drying Down: oh the rose is doing me a heckin pls to be stop amping on my skin and doing me an ewwwww

To the trade bag

_{Imp: getting the honeysuckle and opium
Wet on Me: addicting opium with faint traces of honeysuckle
Drying Down: mostly this pleasant sweet but not sugar-y sweet honeysuckle with opium weaving its magic
Dry: This is nice. No vetivert pop ups!}

Imp: i get the creamy sweet and ....carrot.
Wet on Me: honey and squash with the carrot
Drying Down: fain traces of the cream and squash and carrot. not getting any of the sweet fruits.
Dry: this is so odd. it's carrot and squash. it's a veggie scent.

Imp: neroli and verbena
Wet on Me: ahhhh touches of lavender, and verbena with rosemary waiting in the wings.
Drying Down: lavender and rosemary and the neroli and verbena keep them from being too sharp. faint resin traces of the frankincense waft shyly all about.
Dry: this all smooths out to this herbal floral resinous love.

Imp: heavy heavy dragon's blood and vetiver
Wet on Me: still heavy dragon's blood and veitver. hoping that as it dries I get more than that
Drying: getting the musk now and it's mingling with the dragon's blood and vetiver to become this heady cloud. really overwleming
Dry: mostly the red musk and never got any patchouli. Which is weird because my skin loves patchouli. thank heavens the vetiver faded.


Glad I got to try it, but it is not for me. Off to the trade pile!

Imp: aquatic white flowers
Wet on me: heady aquatic white flowers
Drying Down: still heady flowers, less aquatic. Seems like the tea cut that out.
Dry: this is pretty but too heady for me.

Off to the Trade pile

Imp: GREEN!
Wet on Me: Green. the scent of green grass and green leaves in the spring
Drying Down: soap-y booze
Dry: green soap.


Interesting. Don't hate it. but probably trade it.

Imp: definitely getting deep green faint traces of fruit and something...."dark"
Wet on Me: more dark fruits trying to get all heady on me but bumpin into that green
Drying Down: soap. dark fruity green soap.
Dry: kinda of a fruity soap.

Think I'll put this one on the trade pile!

Imp: peach and wood and the osmanthus
Wet on Me: more peach and osmanthus
Drying Down: mostly sandalwood and light floral
Dry: pale and faint. delicate sandalwood

Pleasant but probably will trade the imp

Imp: musk and amber and almond
Wet on Me: that cherry almond note with the amber hiding in the wings
Drying Down: creamy now. less of that dratted almond note and more of the cardamom and saffron warming up the amber and musk
Dry: creamy and sweet but not sugar sweet. like a chai sweet. the amber and musk keep it from going too sweet. just warm and sunny and creamy.

Imp: light, happy, clean, citrus-y with a powdery under note
Wet on Me: clean. light white floral, bubbly sparkling happy citrus with no charpness
Drying Down: the citrus is fading to a heady white floral. Kind of swirling under my nose remind me who is in control of my scent experience.
Dry: this is a powder-y tropical floral scent. it kinda reminds me of that old old Avon scent White Hawaiian Ginger.

Imp: Apple with a slight touch of herb
Wet on Me: sharp crisp apple. almost tart but not full tart
Drying Down: okay less sharp apple and more opium and herb. almost spicy
Dry: addicting apple and herb with opium. very pleasant

Imp: wood and green
Wet on me: mostly the wood notes
Drying Down: wood with faint traces of the chamomile
Dry: This smells like my grandmother's armoire did when I was visiting her growing up. Love it~

Imp: bay and honey
Wet on Me: mostly honey now
Drying Down: honey. this smells like one of those sweet soaps you find in the hankerchief drawer in the attic of your great auntie's house.
Dry: nice....sweet but not my bag of tea.

Imp: ylang ylang and apple blossom
Wet on Me: ooohhh apple now
Drying Down: heck. rose is doing an appearance under my nose. this means all other notes are pushed to the rear never to be smelt again
Dry: Rose? why you doing me a hate?

Imp: mmmmm juniper and patchouli to start
Wet on Me: still juniper and patch and loving so far....I have hope
Drying Down: okay getting the myrrh note now. has an old ancient forest type vibe.
Dry: mostly myrrh now. all the lovely patch and juniper got scared and ran off.

Imp: dark red wine
Wet on Me: dark red wine but more 'grape' than alcohol
Drying Down: leather? not good leather but old dank worn hard and put away wet leather
Dry: old sweaty salted wine spilled leather. It's something alrighty.

Imp: really dark heady old floral
Wet on Me: powdery dark floral
Drying Down: powdery and sweet from the sandalwood, musk and amber. the floral has faded a touch
Dry: this is definitely giving me 'male' vibes. sweet but deep and woody/resin-y.

Imp: overly sweet cherry
Wet on Me: Vicks 44 cherry.
Drying Down: oooooo something went evil bug spray smelling. I'm getting a Raid note now
Dry: nope. can't do it. Cherry Raid over honey. nooooooooooooooo

Imp: stright up red patchouli and vetiver
Wet on Me: more patchouli than the vetiver. crossing fingers because vetiver does not do me a happy
Drying Down: the patch is working hard to keep that vetiver at bay.
Dry: yay!!!! Patchouli saves the day!!!!!

I can't believe it has taken me until NOW to test this imp!

Imp: Cedar? why am I getting cedar
Wet On Me: sharp, almost medicinal cedar
Drying Down: finally getting some of the patchouli notes...but it smells like it's been wrapped in cedar....could that be the sandalwood and frankincense tag teaming?
Dry: resin, incense, patchouli and the inside of a cedar chest. Not a bad thing, a comforting thing.
