  1. In the imp: jasmine, sure, and a grassy note? slightly herbal, not overly floral.

     

    wet on skin: VERY grassy... untill......

     

    Drydown! Weird, usually Jasmine is BOOM! Yummy on me, but this is a very understated, classy jasmine. Soft, sweet, and omg, I just have to have more!


  2. I was soooo resisting trying any of the Convergence scents. Because I didn't go, and I know I'm not going to get more if I like 'em - I was lucky enough to swap for 1/3 imps of this one :P

     

    In the vial, it's a sweet, lovely floral, with enough spice to make me thrilled out of my mind and on the verge of looking for more.

     

    On my skin, however, it all goes south. *pout* My skin picks up the sweet and does some yucky things - all I get is burnt caramelized floral. Ugh, I really wanted to love The Unheavenly City too.. Some days I hate my skin lol.


  3. In the bottle: all whiskey, baby!

     

    first five seconds on the skin: zOMG! I smell like smoldering firewood and booze..

     

    drydown: I can't stop sniffing my arm, because I seriously smell like I've been standing around a bonfire for hours, it's spicy, hot, woodsy in a way I love. DELICIOUS!

     

    (sidenote: layers nicely with Cobra Lily, just an fyi! LOL)


  4. Am I really the first? Argh, the pressure...

    *grins* I know! I got a teeny imp of this awhile back, and figured this shouldn't be the only review.

     

    However, I've only really just sniffed it, since I didn't go looking for a description until recently. It's very minty, almost like Concentration is, but (don't think I'm nuts) a tad bit lighter. On my skin, however, Tyche lasts so much longer than the other mints, which makes me very glad.

     

    I'll wear a little dab this weekend, see how much opportunity and prosperity I get *grins*


  5. MMm I just got a bottle of this today from another forumite and I'm in love (though truth be told, I layered this on top of what I wore today - TAL: Concentration, so I have this lovely minty cherry amber thing going on.. MMmmmmm).

     

    When I first open the bottle I get a lot of the tangerine, and a teensy bit of tea.. it's spicy and very intriguing.. loving it for sure.

     

    On my skin, it's warm, soft, fuzzy spices - the cardamom and cinnamon really pop and it's enough to make me wanna lick my arm lol.

     

    (And apparently layers well with minty scents *laughs*)

     

    All in all, this is definitely a keeper. I love this!


  6. oh, my, my, my.. this is my first review, and I just HAD to do it for Poisoned Apple. Straight out of the imp, this is such a deliciously perfect apple scent, I was in heaven... on the second sniff.. I got a bit of that "something darker".. and at the first application on my skin.. this warmed up to one of the most loveliest scent ever. Dark and juicy, it's perfect for getting into trouble.

     

    This is definitely on my GC To-Buy List!!
