Juicy wet sweet apple peels with hints of smoke. Hints of musky watery clean coolness as it dries on my skin, the apple still the most prominant scent.

Lovely.

In the Imp it’s sweet and green. On my skin it’s bright, fresh, clean with green watery lemon hints. Lovely.

In the IMP it smells like winter in an old bookstore. On me sort of similar, a minty library old book kind of smell. Slight hospital smell with a hint of sweetness. The more I smell my wrist the sweeter it gets and the less medical it becomes. Pretty and minty cool in a leafy sort of way.

At first sniff I thought I wouldnt like this too sweet and foody, but when I put it on I actually really liked it. It had a sweet sugary incense smell that I think is very sexy. Im hoping wearing it will make the Dh want to bite me

EDIT: 2/17/2012 DH isn't a fan but I wore it to work last night and all the guys in the kitchen said I smelled so good!

I was very excited to get a bottle of this in a swap. On sniffing the opened bottle it was very candy foody strong with lots of violet but I was worried it might be too food on me…. I applied it very sparingly to my skin and I was suddenly over powered by warm buttery candy sugar food – not in a good way.

How disappointing…. But 5 min later it dried down to a perfectly wonderful sweet violet scent, it still has remnants of sickly food but the violet dominates, and mixes and blends everything very nicely. Lovely. I can now appreciate the magic this blend has, thank goodness I had the sense to wait!

In the IMP it’s very herby and green with strong hints of lavender. On me it’s very herby and orangey, spicy too. Very fresh and clean. Smells like fancy citrus potpourri. I like it on me but I think it would make a very nice room spray as well, especially during the festive seasons!

I love love love Snake Oil and was very intrigued by this scent.

In the Imp it is very sweet and powdery in a pleasant flowery way. MMMmmmm on me it’s all sweet lilac candy Snake Oil goodness. Very subtle and sweet on me. Slightly clean and powdery but lovely all the same. Put some more on my wrists so we’ll see if anyone notices.

In the IMP sweet sparkling strawberry and grape wine.

On me the same oh this is just AMAZING. Sweet sweet grape wine. Very fruity and bright. I can faintly smell the lychee and orange but they blend in with everything it’s hard to distinguish. All I know is this is fruity grape and I am in Love.

In the IMP it’s very woodsy and masculine. With a strong medicine and eucalyptus smell.

On me it’s less manly and very herby. The pine and musk are fighting for center stage and I can’t decide which is stronger. It’s a pleasant and almost sweet (the juniper perhaps) but not for me. Would be nice in a bath or an oil burner.

In the IMP it smells like sweet banana taffy!

On me it’s less intense and more green and herby banana – more natural and less artificial sweetness.

I really like this scent it’s fruity and sweet in a subtle green and leafy way. It’s relaxing and cool and def. something I could wear in the early days of Summer.

Gorgeous.

I was slightly skeptical because a lot of the reviews said warm and foody and those kind of scents do not work well on me.

In the IMP it is very warm and sweet.

At first it is surprisingly mellow and I can smell the pomegranate but seconds later it is overwhelmingly foody. Smells good enough to eat just not to wear. It still has hints of sweetness that make it less intense.

In the IMP it’s very strong and spicy lavender. Reminds me of my friends aromatherapy oils.

On me it’s very minty and herby I can barely smell any lavender. After a little while it’s more lemony sweetness.

Very pretty and not at all what I expected. More subtle and light, def. something I want to try before I go to bed to invoke my dream interpretations!

(A few minutes later it seems to be getting even sweeter – LOVELY!)

In the IMP it is very sharp and clean. Smells like fresh wet soil and lemon.

On me it is very dirty it’s actually a very pleasant smell that reminds me of my mom working in the garden. A nice memory but not something I want to smell like because it mostly dirt and soil. However it does has very sweet hints trying to push through the soil smell that makes it quite pretty.

This is an unusual and very pretty scent despite all the dirt!

I had high hopes for this scent because of the green tea and lemon but alas it turned to musky old granny on me

The musk being the primary note on me. Oh well can’t win em all.

In the IMP it smells like a luxurious sweet mint infused herb & lavender soap. On me it’s all SEXY MALE!! OMG this is amazing. It’s sweet and soft with a touch of mint, but it’s still very masculine – tall dark and handsome. Def. something a hot man should be wearing and smelling like BUT I like how it smells on me too. My skin gives it a touch of clean softness that makes it slightly feminine.

I cannot stop smelling my wrist – it makes me feel sexy and daring.

I was very excited to get this. In the IMP it as a lovely herby sweetness too it. Very fresh and clean with small hints of spicy greenness to it. On me it has a very sharp herby smell to it. A unisex scent bordering just a little too masculine for me. It is a very soothing and dreamy scent that I think I might prefer in the bath than on me. Lovely though.

EDIT - okay apparently I already reviewd this scent (I don't even remember it) but my skin chemistry seems to hhave changed!)

In the IMP it has a very strong and almost sickly sweet milky apple. I am wary …

Yeah on me it’s too foody and I had such high hopes … it’s pretty though very sweet apple with spicy nutmeg and milkyness.

Smells good enough to drink just not to wear!

In the IMP it is absolutely amazing – very sweet with sharp hints of pomegranate. On my skin I am very happy that it smells exactly the same. Sweet sweet pomegranate with small hints of minty coolness coming through from the benzoin and a slight sweetness from the jasmine. Overall a very pretty fruity scent full of sophistication. I this.

In the IMP it is VERY foody – an overwhelming aroma of pumpkin with cool hints of blackberry. Am slightly worried that it might turn my stomach if I wear it because I’m pregnant … will still try it though.

On me it’s quite pleasant and sweet smelling but might be too food orientated for me. Too much spicy pumpkin pie and not enough blackberry. Makes me want to lick myself I smell that good. A gorgeous smell but not something that I want to wear! Guess pumpkin is a no-no on my skin!

In the IMP sweet sweet fresh crisp green apples. On me – gorgeous spicy sweet and crisp apples!! OMG this is amazing. This is all apple goodness with a slight spicy ciderness to it. I can smell a small amount of cranberry but golden green apples is the most dominant scent and I it!!

In the IMP it’s lovely strong milky tea. On me it’s strong milky tea with a herby hint of violet leaf! Sweet, clean, refreshing and simply divine.

This is simply

In the IMP I am overwhelmed with warm sweet foody goodness then almost immediately I’m hit with a man’s cologne scent!

On me the apple is very strong but has an underlying spicy and warmness to it. As it dries down the apple is becoming even more pronounced with only very small hints of spice, chocolate, nuts and dried leaves.

Lovely and not at all what I expected!

I got a partial bottle of June Gloom ’09 as a Frimp from a lovely formate when I bought some BPAL from her and on reading the description became very excited!

On opening the bottle I am overwhelmed – It smells like a fairy garden, it is just so beautiful. Sweet sweet sweet.

On me it’s very sweet and floral. Hints of sweet herby-ness, jasmine and citrus come through nicely. This is an absolutely beautiful scent that just smells so sophisticated and wonderful.

In the IMP I get wafts of sugary sweet candy mint incense. On me it’s similar but with much more green & mint to it. The musk is pretty strong as is the incense. No pomegranate at all much to my disappointment. I can still smell very strong hints of mint and wax, almost like a peppermint beeswax candle is burning.

Not what I expected but the more I sniff my wrist the more I like it. It has a very minty cool and fresh smell to it with the added background of incense and candy. Reminds me of Christmas.

Very very candy fruit sweetness in the IMP. Smells faintly of Vix

Mmmmmm on me it’s very green and sweet. A small small hint of spice but hardly noticeable at all. Thick, juicy sweet green leaves with hints of freshly mown grass.

This is a very green, clean, aquatic, sweet scent that reminds me of cool summer evenings. Love it!!
