Alecto is, at first, very forest-y. But like most scents, it sweetens out on my skin as it dries, and begins to smell like a soft cedar incense. A lot of the leafy scent goes away, just a hint remains, and I have to say I really like it. It's not an everyday scent (for me, Intrigue is pretty much that scent) but it's a good refreshing scent for a day when I would need a clear mind... After a few more minutes, it just keeps getting softer and more cedary. I smell something sharp, a little like camphor, perhaps. But mostly that sweet cedar incense. So, finally, I ended up giving the imp to my boyfriend. On him it turns herbal and fresh, much less woody.

This was a light floral on me, with a great big jasmine note. Not a very complex aroma, and it never really changed. Just the strong, strong jasmine. Jasmine is one of my favorite scents, but I'm not sure it's what I'm wanting on myself. This one is probably a trade, or a gift to a friend.

I really enjoy this one. I thought, coming into buying all of these imps, that I would like the fruit (cherries, currants) and food (cocoa, vanilla) but not woods. I happen to think I hate sandalwood, cedar reminds me of my dad's military clothes, etc. Not so great, right? But the sweetness of the fig and cocoa made me really react to this one. A lot of scents on me just end up sweet with no personality, like I've dipped myself into powdered sugar and wandered around. This one was sweet, but with an invigorating bite of cedar. I really like it. EDIT: oddly enough, my cat will NOT stop licking my hand/wrist where I applied intrigue!

On me, hunger was...I don't know. I like it so much that I can't describe it. It was sweet and floral throughout, with quite some endurance. It's still going strong 7 hours later, and I'm so happy it is!

I didn't get the stale coffee that I see mentioned a lot in the previous posts. On me, Mata Hari was a strong floral, with mostly jasmine notes. Over time, it faded to a sweet vanilla-y smell. A good scent overall, not what I was suspecting from the other reviews.

This one smelled very cherrylicious in the imp. I thought I would really like it, I like red fruits a lot. But as it dried, I started to smell a sort of sugary ammonia smell. I didn't like smelling like sweetened cat piss. Luckily, near the end, it just smelled sweet, like powdered sugar. Not something that I want to repeat, overall. EDIT: tried it with different clothes on. That made a big difference. I think the first time the scent somehow reacted with my angora sweater, and turned foul.

I really liked this one. At first, it was very sweet, with the currant/neroli adding some tartness, sourness, I'm not really sure what word I'm looking for, but it wasn't much. As time went on, I could smell the currant more, the sweetness wore off quite a bit. And as it was finishing, several hours later, I just got a sweet smell like a powdered sugar covered doughnut. I really like this one. Very pleasant sweetness.
