I am in the rose boat. Lots of rose wet, dry, aged and spilled on the floor (damn). It isn't bad. It is nice and feminine without being overly rosey, although it does remind me a lot of wandering through the rose area of the botanical gardens. I think that is the addition of the wood. Nice, but a lot of rose.

I definitely start with the smoky rose amping on my skin. There is a darker tone to this once is dries out a bit. Nice floral tones, but it fades out really quickly on me. Nice, but I am not going to purchase this one.

I am picking up a creamy fruit smell with a touch of spice. It isn't overly strong, so I could wear it more, but I just don't see myself reaching for this scent. Not quite my style.

Following along with the trend here - it starts and stays with the smoky smell of vetiver. A LOT of vetiver. If you are a fan of vetiver, then this might be for you. I don't think I am as much of a fan.

Okay, I think the musk is a bit heavy in this one. I get a hint of the patchouli, but I don't seem to smell the poppy at all. This may be more of a masculine scent, but it isn't one that I would be crazy about on a guy either. It would just fit him more than it does me.

This is such a beautiful warm smell. Loving the amber smell. I think this is better for the evening than during the day, but I tried it out before going to yoga and I just kept smelling the amber as I was relaxing and stretching out. So nice.

When wet, the almond is strong. Very foody. Luckily, it is different than other almond smells I have come across and didn't go bad on me. That being said, I am not a big fan of almond smell. When it dries down, there is less of the almond smell and more of the spice, which is nice, but won't stop this from going in my trade pile.

This started out very rosy to my nose. That has eased off allowing the lily to come through. Meanwhile, I think it is all grounded out by the frankicense and sandalwood. I think I will have to try this one out a couple of times or do a full skin test to see if it is purchase-worthy. Right now, it is just a pleasant smell.

Definitely a spring scent - very soft, floral with a green clean smell to it. I figure I am getting mostly Angel's Trumpet with the lettuce. Very nice, but a little too light, floral for me.

Wow... very strong, masculine scent. It has a good throw. I am definitely getting the leather and tonka, I think. Nice and warm. I would definitely have my nose stuck to a guy that had this on. That being said, it is a bit strong on my hand, but wow.... nice.

Definitely getting the spicy cedar here. Dries down to being nice a subtle, but it took awhile to get there, and now I only smell that if I put my nose right in it.

Initially this was smelling sweet, but it has dried down to a darker floral tone (orchid?) that has a very green background with a touch of spice. Don't think I will buy a bottle, but I will keep the imp.

A truly fae nectar! Dragon’s blood resin and honeyed vanilla. I think it is the honey in this scent that mixes with the vanilla to create this spicey, cherry candy flavor. It is definitely smooth, but I think it kind of ruins the dragon's blood smell that I like.

This scent has really hit my nose as sharp in the beginning. From the descriptions, I would take this to be the apricot, although the mention Schnapps description seems to fit in nicely. I also definitely get the white musk, but I am not catching the the Orange Blossom at all. This seems like a pretty sophisticated scent. Not really my style.

Sensual, robust, and silken: voluptuous red rose bursting with lascivious red wine and sultry dragon’s blood resin. I am loving this imp and will probably get a bottle. It is the way I can wear rose. It smells far dark and heavier on me. I love it.

First sniff: Very floral and feminine On: I am totally getting the roses and lily. I think the fact that it isn't overpowering might be due to the lotus, but I am not positive on it. Overall: I like it, but I don't see myself getting a bottle of this.

This reminds me of a smooth cherry candy. I don't think it is something I would get a big bottle in, but the imp is nice.

In the vial, it does smell strong of the incense and sandalwood with the sharp tones, which I can only take from here as the ozone smell. When on, the leather and smokier smells come out. Not liking this much. Oh well... there will be others.

In the vial - strong jasmine with a touch of the lavender, but I am not picking up the honeysuckle. Wet and dry are about the same smell as in the vial. I am wearing this currently at work, but I think it is more of an at home chilling kind of scent. Maybe a little too warm and cozy for work. It reminds me of one of those pillows you would put over your eyes to relax.
