In the bottle, this seems a bit muted. Some spices, but can't really tell.

Wet, scherezade is spicy, maybe a bit of the dreaded patchouli but not much.

Dry - Patchouli bloomed. Instant headache for me, and onto the swap pile it goes.

In the bottle - spicy, maybe a bit sweet.

Wet - patchouli, patchouli, and even more patchouli. I now have a headache.

After a few hours - I never really get past the dominant patchouli, and still have the headache.

Sadly, Lust is going into the swap pile.

This has a dominant note of amber, I think, but it's underlaid by an indefinable something that makes me think of my grandfather's gardenias. Sadly, I detest the scent of gardenias, so this goes into the swap pile.

It smelled very indistinct and sharp in the vial, but once on it transformed into a soft sparkling cloud of sweetness and fruit. There's definitely vanilla and maybe a peach in there, but my nose isn't trained enough to be sure of what I'm smelling.

For me, this is a celebration-relaxation type scent. It's almost got a 'young' feeling, and it's definitely happy.

In the vial, this smells almost green, although there is a distinct presence of violet already. It gave me a headache, but I pressed on.

Wet, it smells distinctly of violets, with a flowery, powdery background. Very much a quiet, adult sort of scent.

Not something I love, but it's not going on the swap pile yet either.

This started off smelling rather sharp and medicinal, but soon morphed into a bold spicy mix that my untrained nose can't seperate. Given a few hours, it settled down into a warm, comforting skin-type scent that I quite like.

One of my first imps, and I'm seriously contemplating a 5ml.
