  1. Upon opening imp, strong smell of roses(??) and instant headache. But I pressed on, lol.

    The rose(again ??) disappeared almost immediately, no surprise, heh...taken over by sweetness & a *slight* hint of grapefruit. Drying it turned powdery sweet...in fact *very* powdery & somewhat soapy, then, *poof*, gone. I'm thinking of other forumites' reviews and the mention of "old lady perfume".

    Nice, but not for me.


  2. Touch of pine but mostly eucalyptus. Not even a hint of the orange in this one. Very Vicks Vaporub to me :D Couldn't get past that to actually try it on my skin. However, my son really liked it. More "piney" on him. Definitely more of a masculine blend I think :P


  3. Very dry and green upon opening bottle. Something patchouli-like about it, which isn't a good thing for me. Juniper is quite strong in this and as much as I like the way it smells, in a perfume oil, makes me sneeze :P Couldn't try this on, unfortunately...Its one of those that I just know is going to send my allergies into high gear. Very interesting(even if only "sniff tested") blend nonetheless.


  4. Roses all the way. Lovely dead, forlorn roses~From wet to dry down. Unfortunately, gave me a headache immediately upon opening the bottle, this one will never work for me :P

    I bit the bullet and kept it on for a few hours and it stayed true. Definitely has staying power, when I finally had to wash it off...it didn't go away. Wish this one didn't give me a headache, its absolutely beautiful!


  5. Sweet floral w/a bit of spice & ...cinnamon? Reminiscent of something I can't quite put my finger on.

    Wearing, stays true to how it came out of the bottle. A very thick & decayed flowers sort of feel to it. Quite lovely!!

    Waited until my second try wearing this before reviewing it and alas, just like the first time, although I adore it, I'm getting a headache :D Life can be so unfair, blah!

    :P


  6. Love the incense smell and feel to this one but unfortunately, didn't work too well on my skin :D I think for me, this would work best in an oil burner. On me, it makes me sneeze.

     

    First thing I got upon opening the bottle was a bit of sweetness w/a very light "sting", like burning sage almost. Very soothing. Scent seems to dissipate quickly(from the top of the open bottle).

    Definitely more of a masculine blend imo, for whatever its worth :P

     

    I like this enough that I think it deserves a good home, rather than using it in an oil burner. I'll burn incense instead, lol.


  7. Upon opening~Jasmine, which my nose always seems to pick up on first.

     

    Same thing wet, the other notes are there, but not enough that I can actually *say* I'm picking them up. More of a, I can *feel* them, if that makes any sense.

     

    Dry down/wearing~Definitely lives up to its description! Humid and sticky but in a good way.

     

    Worn it a few times & I really like it! But since there are others I also want to try I'm letting this one go to a new home :P


  8. Got my two imps from Laochodia today, yay!! And of course, thanks!!

     

    Upon first opening imp, strong candy-like smell & thought, uh oh....

    Only used a drop on each wrist due to icky allergies acting up, blah.

     

    Dry down~sweetness subsiding into softness w/the sublest bite(amber?), not picking up the vanilla at all but the honey is definitely there. Also something a bit more "perfumey" floating around but can't put my finger on it...

     

    After about an hour soft, mostly honey and what comes to mind~thick, syrupy(not in a bad way) and languid.

    I'm liking it! I'll use one imp for sure before deciding whether or not to get a big bottle. :P

     

    05/02/05~Yep, must have a big bottle of this. Wears well, I can catch the loveliest glimpses of it swirling around hours after putting it on. I was really worried when I first opened the imp but I'm SO glad I got this! I *did* have to layer it w/my beloved Hunger, though, just to see what they'd do together. OMG~absolutely beautiful!! They blend together so purrrfectly :D :D

    On my skin, of course, not mixed together in a single bottle or anything, that would be unforgivable! Together they bring out the best of both w/o interfering w/one another.

     

    In addition to my previous description, 'O' creates a feeling of voluptuosness...juicy, ripe and ready to be "plucked".


  9. Have had this one for....3-4 yrs and apparently, never tested it. Full 4ml shorty(I think?)...

     

    Upon opening bottle....jasmine?? With a subtle, spicy bite. Only slightly green to me & only tested off the rim but it stayed w/me for a looong time :P Didn't really pick up anything other than what I've mentioned, well, maybe a touch of something citrusy. Slightly sweet but not extremely so. Very nice & smooth. Kind of like a lovely courvoisier(sp??), not in the scent so much but more in the description. If that makes any sense...warm is what I get from it. Stayed true all the way from open bottle to dry down to wearing. Really like this one but there are others I like even more so I believe this one will go into the swap pile :D


  10. LOVE it!!

    Wet~strong orange but not sweet really. More of a tangy orange, which is good :D

     

    Dry down~hint of vanilla and black narcissus with the orange floating around.

     

    After wearing for 15 mins +, purrrrfect blend of each. A very rich, decadent scent, imo. Fades after 2-3 or so hours *cry*. Okay not completely but I want it to stay forever, heh.

    MUST get more asap!! :P
