Once more an imp I recieved with an order...

 

In Bottle: Overwhelmingly woody to me. I detect no florals at all. Truly it smells like a walk through the ceadar dunes on Sandy Hook.

 

On shin: On dry down the woody scent disappears, but the musk predominates. Again, I get no florals at all.. Nice enough I guess, but I may hand off to hubby.

 

 

 

I ordered this as an Imp, since I was looking for rose scented items. In the bottle I found a very floral scent, with a hint of the Vanillla brightening things up.

 

On skin, I am getting mostly floral. Gardenia I *think* but some Jasmine as well. I really am not picking up any of the Tea Rose or Vanilla any more. Nice scent, and I'll probably keep it in mild rotation.

Very Odd.. Got this as an Imp with a recent order. Wet, it's very citrus-y but when it dries... I think it's kind of spicy, but the hubby claims it smells like an Easter Basket: sugary, slightly chocolaty and an odor of Easter grass....

 

Wet, I can't describe ths smell. I am not getting the floral that everyone seems to smell. Once applied, some of the aniseptic smell dissipates, and I do get a bit of the violet smell. After a while though, all I get are the musks and sandalwoods. I guess my skin chemistry encourages that! I may get another Imp to decide if I *really* like it, or if I just want to try another scent...

 

This was among my first order of Imp's ears.

 

Wet: The patchoui really dominates the perfume for me. I really did not get any of the sandalwood, which upset me, as I am *not* a big fan of patchouli. But being named after a most infamous female pirate, I HAD to order. <G>

 

On the skin: on teh immediate drydown, the Patchouli was still pretty strong, but after a little while on my skin, the Sandalwood came to dominate the scent. I get very little of the Frankincense and Patchouli at all. While Blood, Vice and Poisoned Apple turned out to be my favorites from this particular order, I do like the Anne Bonny, and will probably order a full bottle in the near future.

 

This was one of the first scents I got in my pack of imp's ears from BPAL. I was concerened about the scent in bottle, as the clove really produced an aniseptic, catch in the back of the throat scent, that I did nto like, and teh hubby hated.

Luckily I persevered, and on dry down, that clove just dissipated on my skin, and what was left was a wonderful, thick, complex scent blend. The hubby likens it to the mixed smell of incences in a "New Age" shop. It's now become his favorite, and I just ordered a full bottle.

This was part of my first BPAL order, and out of the bottle was not sure what to make of it. There was a *very* sweet note in the imp and I was afraid that it would be too candy-like on my skin.

 

Well I needn't have worried. The scent is wonderfully complex and musky on my skin. I do still detect a touch of sweetness, but it is *much* more subtle than my first impressions. I relly like this as a grownup, exotic scent.
