    Cinnamon girl...

    Chimera is the closest to Big Red out of all the cinnamon scents I've tried so far. Love Me is second, with a cinnamon/clean/soapy fragrance that got sweeter as it dried. Sin was kind of like Satan's cinnamon, it was much more spicy and much less sweet.

    The Caterpillar

    Heavy incense notes waft lazily through a mix of carnation, jasmine, bergamot, and neroli over a lush bed of dark mosses, iris blossom, deep patchouli and indolent vetiver. In the imp: This smells complex and interesting. There's incense and smoke and a dark green smell and a himt of floral. Wet: Gah! Is that patchouli??? Drydown: Ick! My body chemistry is killing everything but incense and patchouli smells. My wrist smells like a cheesy new age store. The smokiness is fading. After a couple of hours: I smell like strong soap. It's excellent quality soap, but still disappointing. Conclusion: Catterpillar doesn't like my skin at all. I think I may give this one to my sister. The scent has so much promise for the right person.

    Tiger Lily

    In the imp: I can smell the lilies and I happen to LOVE lilies. Wet: If there is such a thing as golden lilies, this fragrance is it. Drydown: I smell a gorgeous blend of warm lilies. I can't really distinguish notes. After a couple of hours: The scent fades. but it doesn't turn powdery nor does it lose its warmth. Conclusion: A strong contender for an eventual bottle. I'm going to get plenty of wear from the imp and then I'll decide whether I can't live without this perfume. I'm not sure that there's enough individuality to the scent, but maybe it's just my uneducated nose.

    Two, Five & Seven

    In the imp: This smells like that cheap rose perfume that I used to buy at the drugstore when I was a teenager. Wet on my wrist: A sweet rose. Very sweet. I don't smell anything green at all. Drydown: My mother thought I smelled great. She loved the rose fragrance. After an hour or two: I'm smelling something powdery in the roses. Please, let this not be turning powdery on me. Conclusion: I'm keeping the imp and I'll try out the scent again. It's a lovely feminine rose, and obviously appeals to other people, but I'm still not sure if it suits me.

    The Queen of Hearts

    In the imp: Augh! An overpowering reek of cherry cough syrup. It seemed to overpower every other fragrance in my imp pack. My mother recoiled when I held the Queen of Hearts imp to her nose. Wet: A sharp whiff of cherry that dissipated within seconds, revealing a floral undertone Drydown: A gorgeous floral mixed with cherry. It is feminine but also wily and unique. After an hour or two: The scent faded into a lovely floral with the barest hint of cherry. Conclusion: This is quickly becoming a favorite scent. I've already re-applied it once and I'm still in love. I think I'll be ordering a bottle.

    Absinthe

    I loved this scent in the bottle. I can smell the fresh mint, as well as lemon and something herbal. Alas, my skin turned it into all mint. I swear all the other notes disappeared until there was nothing left of the amazing scent in the bottle. Stupid body chemistry. My sister has dibs on the imp, but I might order another and try it as a room fragrance. It really is a gorgeous, crisp scent.

    Alice

    Curiouser and curiouser. Milk and honey with rose, carnation and bergamot. In the Imp: Mostly honey. Not much of the rose and carnation at all. A hint of milk. Not a scent that I expected to like. I'm wondering why this scent is so popular. On my wrist: Yeah, that's honey alright, with some rose underneath. Too sweet. Not really me. I'm not expecting this to be a keeper. Drydown: Oh my God, this is incredible!! The rose comes out, along with a spiciness from the carnation. It's gone from girlish to sophisticated with an understated sexiness. This is a strong contender for a 5ml bottle.
