the honey and peaches makes me think of juice... I was expecting it to smell like Kashmira soap for SRTC, but it's just a nice juicy scent. Hm. Not sure it's my thing, but it is very perfumey in a non-traditional way and smells very fresh.

Lovely-- what I wanted Chanukkiyah to be. Warm, a bit foody, a bit candley, FAINTLY smokey... a really lovely Holidiay scent! I want a big bottle...

oh yum...salty and chocolatey like hazelnut hot cocoa. The amber keeps it from going *too* foody. Wow. Simply amazing.

ohhh, lovely! It's like a nice soap with a hint of a dusty citrus note... I actually really like it! I almost feel like I sniff an appley note, but I think it's just the incense or dust. Definitely an interesting imp, must try again later.

hm. alright... slightly foody. I think my brother is going to adore this one. It makes me think of ginger apricot tea (not gingerbread), which was never my favorite. Ah well. my brother has been *dying* to try this one.

ohhh, it is very wet and cool and grassy and cucumber! It reminds me of B&BW cucumber melon (minus melon, haha), was it B&BW sweet grass? and yes, at first, I do get some of the Indian yogurt-cucumber.

It's truly very different... almost aquatic/citrusy, but really I think it's a good light cucumber! It's making me hungry...

It's very perfumey, and hard to tell if I like it or not... I think it would be lovely on my roommate even though it's a bit too sophisticated for me. Or perhaps one of my more grownup alters would enjoy wearing it? Hmm.

it's creamy, spicey, and a bit floral all at once. I may have to try this on my friend who likes florals but can only get Chimera to work on her skin.

Thanks for the suggestions... but I tried warming/rolling the bottle and now it smells even weirder/more different! O_O Also, I bought Black Pearl and Silk Road imps either lab fresh or seemingly lab fresh, and the bottles were older and aged... so maybe it's just the opposite?

Blood Kiss, however, only improves with age.

Gah. I'm tempted to just stop ordering imps of perfumes I'm pretty sure I'll love and getting the bottle. What is it about the big quantity vs. the little quantity that makes the imps so much more colorful and complex in the imp? What changes in the bottle? Is it the presence of a wand? Something to do with aging? A different batch? Has my nose just changed?

My bottles of Black Pearl and Silk Road both smell much different than the imps I got orginally. It's not that they smell bad, they're just not the same "omg, must have!" scents the imps were. Why is this? Other imps almost always smell exactly like the ones I had originally, it just seems to be the bottles! *sniffles*

Oh well. I still douse myself in them.

it's a bizarre spiced thing that reminds me of sniffing a spice cabinet... a little incensey? sort of like sitting outside by a campfire mixed with a spice cabinet.

my friend says it smells like coal/opium-smoke with just a hint of sweetness.... it's a bit spicy like Dr. Pepper, but kind of woody.

metallicky, leather, blood.... interesting! It's not my favorite, but my friend likes it and I'm highly intrigued. It's definitely a complex scent.

mysteriously sweet and dark, like Black Opal but spicier. I love all the notes. It's just not quite evil enough... hm. I bet on my bf it will be more sinister, though-- he amps sinister notes.

if not for the lavender, this would be my new ideal spring/early summer scent. As it is, the lavender gives me a horrible headache, but I like it enough I might slather it on my bf or oldest brother.

an almost imperceptible scent on my skin... not quite as lovely as Lucy Westenra, but very gentle and floral.

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. Soft Victorian florals that don't go horrible on my skin. Similar to the Brides of Dracula without so much bitter amber. Quite beautiful.

It smells distinctly like Pantene Pro-V... Hm. I think it's the incense and floral combination. Not my thing, but not horrifying like Cathedral was on me.

I have no idea how to describe this. It's like Dragon's Blood and candy. Not bad, but not really my thing. Still, I'm intrigued. *sniffs wrist*

The florals that worked on me were The Brides of Dracula, Wings of Azrael, Lucy's Kiss, Viola, and... uh... that might be it, but I'm sure there were more.

It ALMOST works on me, and then it just becomes too overwhelmingly floral. I actually think this would be a really sharp scent for a guy-- it makes me picture the quiet poetry-writing kind of guy.

No throw at all on me, and what little I can sniff of it is just meh. Oh well, most of the rest of the imps I ordered came out well. It reminds me of clean laundry or clothes coming out of the drier

lovely cool sweet citrus... similar to embalming fluid and baobhan sith. However, it has a LOT less throw than either of those, sadly.

foody warm urine with a bit of tobacco. Extremely kinky as a scent. Not sure if I really want to walk around smelling like foody warm smoky pee but I like it a lot.

Not really sure how I feel about it. I like the tea note, but it's too... something for me. Sweet and spicy, maybe? Not really my thing.
