  1. i love this scent

    its how i want to smell during the late spring early winter

    its very comforting... maybe because i always have blackberry sage tea after a long day. it was better than i expected it to be, its fresh and sweet yet has an excellent grounding, possibly musk.

     

    dont know about a big bottle yet but i will certainly use the imp :P


  2. i have a very vivid memory of eating a huge cherry lollipop that tasted like then when i was about 4 or 5! insane that i remember it i know...

     

    wet- cherry... and something heavy

    drydown- smells like rootbeer and im really glad its not scream anise at me cause its not my favorite

     

    so far so good. thanks to the lab for this freebie! i would have never picked it out myself.


  3. i dont smell lemon at all

    its something else.... i know this smell lingering in the background... so familiar. something like iris maybe?

     

    i love this scent, the lavender is heavenly and whatever else is in it too (i cant tell)

     

    definetly a keeper, dont know about a big bottle yet... but maybe :P

     

    *edit to add* It must be bergamont!!! yes i think that is what it is instead of lemon


  4. this is sooo beautiful! i cant believe not many people have tried it yet.

    the jasmine is grounded in an incense sort of way... if that makes any sense

    i dont really know a lot of the notes... but it smells so good i want to eat it

    this is not just a floral! i'm at a loss for words

     

    ok i need 10ml of this one too....


  5. i know this smell... its beautiful

    its so familiar its bothering me... though it is very VERY comforting. maybe my mom would burn an incense.... or use this on candles when i was younger?

    i dont know but i love it, even if it doesnt work. hope it will though.... hehe


  6. A scent as sharp as glass shards, and as brittle as a broken heart. The formula came to me - quite literally - in a dream, and is named after, and created in memory of, the last poem that I ever wrote… almost ten years ago to the day. A blend of white champagne notes, grapefruit, lotus, slivered mint and crystalline aquatic blooms.


    i didnt find it that sharp at all
    smells like a tart candy i have had before

    i like it... it lasted at least a couple of hours
    i was having trouble picking out single notes so here i am.... and now the white grape is really coming through
    good stuff

    even though it doesnt have the desired effect on me.

  7. this is heaven in a bottle!

    im pretty sure i havent reviewed this yet... uhhh

     

    the spices are so beautifully blended

    it actually smells abbout the same in the bottle as it does on me. i think its a first! its long lasting im lucky if anything lasts more than 3 hours on me and this is exceeding.

    if you like like exotic, this is the one for you


  8. as soon as i put this on my nose turned up

    i love resin scents but this is not one of them.

     

    it still it very beautiful, it morphs from a sharp piercing tot a mellow depression

    it is so strong and unsettling it must go up for swap


  9. this scent is not for me

    right when i opened the imp i wondered if i should even try it on. though i had never really smelled violet before. now i know for sure it does not work with my chemisty.

    it smells very much like a forest. though unforunetly it also makes me want to sneeze (which is what i tend to do in a forest)

     

    i could see how this would work for some people. would be great if you like violets... if not.... proceed with caution :P

     

    now that i am thinking of it it might be the vertiver that is the cause of the sneezing ? just a thought


  10. divine! in fact im now craving it.... hang on....

     

    its very aquatic and light. there is a sweetness but it is so beautifully done.

    i usually dont like florals but this is a master piece

    plus i've a weakness for ginger :P

     

    this is permanetly on my list of must have scent for summer

     

    i'll add more later


  11. i got this free with my last order

     

    at first i was very suprised to like it... its gingerbread!! i love that smell :P

     

    and wearing it for about 10 minutes it still smelled great.... very warm and inviting

    then i started to detect a picklish kind of note... im guess its my skin

     

    a very beautiful scent, would smell great one someone else!


  12. i was just about to swap this...

    then i had to sudden urge to try it before my bath today again (its been about 3 months)... i sniffed... and sniffed

    as soon as i got out of the bathroom i ran to my room to put more on

    i really dont care for the smell of it wet, but after wearing it for the first minute or too it started to grow on me

     

    i smell a lot of myrrh which ... is a turn off to me, and why i didnt origninally like it

    now i can smell a lot of sandlewood, which i love, and why i am keeping it

    if it continues to grow on me.. i'll have to buy the 5ml

    i really dont smell much chocolate in it still... but it doesnt matter, i like it anyway

     

    and i agree what some other people have said... it does remind me of old dusty velvet :P

     

    but in a good and comforting way (not a want to sneeze way)


  13. at first when i got this, it smelled like alchol and i avoided trying it,

    i tried it today, since i was about to take a shower, but it made me not want to.

    it smells delicious!!!! im suprised how much i like it

    im actually considering buying more, but i should probably finish my imps ear first

    i cant put my finger on it, but i have smelled this before
