London

In the imp: It smells white, sort of gauzy white. Lilly and sandlewood hit me first.

Wet: Citrusy and mint

Dry: The flowers mostly. The lilly.

In the bottle: Flower petals dipped in simple syrup. Very sweet rose.

Wet: The smell reminds me of the taste of sugared rose petals, or french rose candies, the little pink ones.

As it dried the rose settled down a little and the sugar softened. It's a sweet almost airy rose. Not powdery or overwhelming. The throw was a little less than moderate on me.

I'm glad I bought this one un sniffed.

Yes, sexy swapper you are right. I have tried an imp of The Rose, it was too green. I could not smell the rose. Also 2-5-7 has the grass note that I don't like. What about the Rose Cross and Harlot? They could have the red rose smelling?

Depending on how the fruit note wears on you, Persephone has a red rose smell.

I have imps of both Algaea and Katharina,does anyone know how simliar Josie (one of the girls from the new orleans scents) is to either of those?

Imp: Smells really good. I wanted to drink it, but didn't.

Wet: boozy sweet tarts

Dry: It's strong. All berry,sparkling berry. I'm not sure if I could wear this reguarly.It'd be good for like a Mardi Gras styled party.

Imp:Vanilla

Wet:Vanilla flower, and very sweet.

Dry:It dried to this cuddly soft vanilla with a hint of the sweetneess and flowers. It's very good when I don't feel well.

Imp: Wet grass, and menthol.

Wet: Pine-y,with a cool musky scent under it

Dry: smells like pine cleaner on me

Imp: sweet floral? I can't really pick anything out. It's elusive.

Wet: Flowers. Sharp flowers.

Dry: flowers got stronger as they dried.Not for me.

Milk Moon, May 2007

Bottle:It smells really good. I don't know what I smell..but I like it.

Wet:Sharp and sweet,with a touch of flowers.

Dry:Creamy-ness with a subtle sweet tartness from the grape and fig I think. This one is a lot different from the other scents I have, it's very interesting. I'm keeping it.

Imp: I went to the spa this morning..and when I got back my imp was there. Yay! So I smelled it..and it smelled just like the drink they gave me after my massage. All sweet, and bubbly..and apricot.

Wet: Sweet peaches? and flowers.

Dry: The apricot toned the flowers down a bit. It smells lovely on me. Very girly but bright..and sort of relaxed. Love this one.

Bottle: I can smell the orange and a touch of incense.

Wet on me: Still very orange. The florals are starting to peak out now.

Dry on me: A sweet foral orange peel. There is a little bit of a bitter orange rind note.

Bottle: Very sweet, with an edge. Marzipan & honey ^^

Wet on me: Almondy honey.

Dry on me: Even dry my hand smells like a sweet European confection. All almondy and sugar.

The bottle: Hi, I'm clove..how are you? and something else. I can't point out what it is..but I like it.

Wet: I still smell cloves, but there is a weird hint of talcum powder. I think it might be the smoke coming out.

Dry: It’s interesting. Not quite my style.

Bottle: Fig. Strangler Fig without the green. yay!

Wet: Here comes the green >.< Ack. Cypress. The fig, like me is hiding from the green-ness.

Dry: sweet and green, with a hint of fig.

This is mostly a sniffie bottle.

Bottle: kinda smells like gingerbread..or baking gingersnaps.

It was a wand cap bottle, so I rolled the wand over my wrist. There was a little oil left. It smelled like the bottle at first and then my wrist took on this sweet vanilla gingery smell. Yummy. The original snake oil failed on my skin, but this stuff seems to get along pretty well with me.

2009

In the bottle: Yummy.. I opened it and left it that way for a bit. All the sweetness is just drifting through the air. It smells fruity, with a dark edge.

Wet on me: Christmas-ish. That must be the spice.

Dry: As it's drying the spice is settling down and the red berry is coming back out. It'd be perfect for stomping around in the snow. Love it.

Imp: Ooh it makes my nose tingly

Wet: I can't really pick the notes out..but I like

Dray: It has this spicy-ness..and something I can't pin down and some sweetness. I get a hint of soft roses too..I'm not sure why. But it's very fun, I like it.

imp: Lemony sorbet

Wet: Lemon peel, and something green

Dry: Sweet Verbena..with a hint sunblock. Maybe I'll add this one to my sunblock..it'd smell awesome. ^^

imp: sweet..mm...I don't know what it is exactly, but I really want to drink it. I didn't though.

Wet: Sweet but with a darker body to it.

Dry: It got darker and fuller in body. It actually smells tangible. While I wouldn't slather myself in Eros..I'd enjoy slathering it on someone else. Eros describes the oil pretty well.

Imp: Green and spicy, I think part of that is the frankincense.

Wet: Still very herbal green. I amp green things.. eep. >.<

Dry: Holy herbal. It's sharp.. like when my dad would mow the grass in the summer and it'd smell all green grassy outside for a while. No roses came out to play for me :/

Imp: Smells like black cherry candy and flowers.

Wet on me: Sweet cherries, with spice. Cherry mulled wine. Yummy-ness.

Dry on me: The vanilla came out as it dried, making it creamy. Then the flowers poked their heads out..and gobbled up all the fruits. Mean flowers.

The phases the oil went through while drying were very interesting.

Imp: wet flowers, strong ones.

Wet: Crazy rose, not 'rose red' rose though.

Dry: As it dried the rose morphed into lilly. It's pretty, but a bit of a strong one me. Reminds me of when I used to buy my grandmother lillies..and I'd stick my nose in the whole vase of flowers to smell them.

Rosewood and I normally don't get along,but I couldn't even tell it was there in this oil.

Bottle smells like: light vanilla leather..I like it.

Wet: I think if you put a vanilla bean in a smoker, this is what the bean would smell like afterward.

Dry: Sort of like the wet stage but with a hint of perfume-ness ..it has the faint flowery smell and the leather came back to play a little.

Overall..I'd say I do like it, It reminds me of a 'going out and shooting pool with the boys' scent.

In the bottle: Pine trees...? really??

Wet: Sweet pine trees..raw ginger maybe. I could see that..not the candied sweet ginger though.

Dry: Now the vanilla comes out, but it's not vanilla vanilla..its like sharp green vanilla? odd.

In the Bottle: smells like coconut water with flowers floating around in it

Wet: Coconut shampoo..the sweet smelling kind. Or the bubble bath maybe...

Dry: Its a little 'heady' for me. The flowers came out really strong as it dried, with a sweet coconut musk smell in the background
