In the frimp, I'm getting what I'm pretty sure is jasmine; on my skin, it's a light, delicate, powdery floral. Pretty sure this is jasmine, and maybe rose; I'm not getting the green kick that everyone's talking about. As for the attractant... well, we'll see if it works through a computer screen. EDIT: So, jury's out on the attractant, as it was tested while potential atractee was on a computer about an hour away. But kinda sorta, since he did react, even if it didn't exactly work the greatest? Scent itself seems to be fairly straight up jasmine/floral, soft and powdery, won't need a bottle, but will keep the two imps I have and keep testing!

I'm getting rose and lavender in the decant, here, with maybe some vanilla in the background? On my skin, I get rose and vanilla, which is an interesting mix, before the lavender makes it fade to absolutely nothing. Goddamn fucking lavender. Aaagh. This'll probably work better on someone else. To the swaps!

Got this as a frimp in a recent order. In the imp, I'm smelling a really sharp sort of cherry-vanilla; maybe there's dragon's blood in here? I get more of the cherry-vanilla on my skin, with a sharper edge that I got in Blood. And there's a bit of florals in the background, too. Oh, this is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Definite bottle, this.

In the decant, I get almond and Snake Oil, and it smells absolutely amazing. On my skin, the almond and myrrh mix with the Snake Oil for a spicy scent reminiscent of Saw-Scaled Viper. A nice scent, but, again, will be fine with this just as an imp.

In the imp, this is a really bright, greenish scent. It's the same on my skin, with just a hint of honey. Not really sure what to think of this one. It morphs, as it's on my skin, to a sunnier scent, a honeyish sort of bright floral, with a green edge. A nice scent, but I won't need more than an imp.

Hmm. I smell the lavender like crazy in the imp, but I'm thinking that, given my previous experience with lavender blends (The King of Hearts, Yvaine), the lavender will be all but gone on my skin, so I wonder if the jasmine and honeysuckle will amp on me. Yeah, it's pretty much lavender for about five seconds, and then goes to nothingness on me, taking the jasmine and the honeysuckle with it. Not for me, not for me. To the swaps.

In the imp, I'm getting a really strong mix of roses, lilacs, and wisteria. On my skin, the rose and lilac dominate, with the wisteria lurking underneath. It's a nice floral, but I'm thinking that this'll be just fine as an imp.

In the imp, I get fruit, with a sea-tinged edge to it. On my skin, the peach and pomegranate and ocean-tinge amps, with florals in the background, and it smells amazing. Right off the bat, I'm thinking this is going to be another bottle.

I got an imp of this that has been aged about a year in a recent swap. I get what I think is a cherry/rose blend, like I did with King of Hearts, in the imp. On my skin, this is an absolutely amazing blend; it's like the first stage of the King of Hearts, but it sticks, and with a bit of Blood thrown in.

I got this ginger/citrus/vague floral in the imp, which should've made me nervous. And then on my skin, it turned into soapy ginger citrus scent that actually made me jerk back and spill about half the imp on the back of my hand and the desk. Yeah. This imp is going to the swaps, like, yesterday.

I'm getting berry mixed with the vanilla and spices of Snake Oil in the bottle. On my skin, it's a pretty equal blend of deeper berry and Snake Oil. Mmm. Right off the bat, I'm thinking this is going to be bottle material (I currently have a decant in a bottle).

In the bottle, I get a chocolately cinnamon sort of scent, with an undertone of maybe vanilla? On my skin, I'm getting that same nommy chocolate cinnamon, with an undertone of what I think is wood? No cherries or vanilla just yet. It remains pretty much the chocolate cinnamon with slight woody undertone throughout, with a little vanilla and cherry peeking through here and there. It's a really neat scent, and I think it'll be in heavy rotation with fall here. EDIT: Also, I need to apparently apply lightly, as it makes the skin on my wrists go bright red.

In the imp, I'm getting what must be the red musk; on my skin, the musk is a darker note, and I think I'm actually getting a balance of rose and musk; a bittersweet blend. Hmm. I think that this is going to need some further testing, but, for now, no more than an imp.

In the decant, I get what I'm pretty sure is cherry blossom; a very bright, clear floral. It's the same on my skin; cherry blossom amps, and the other florals create a nice undertone. This is definitely more of a spring scent, but it's absolutely lovely to have. I won't need more than an imp of this, but it'll be wonderful to have in the winter, just to remind you of spring.

Got this as a decant in a recent swap, eager to test this. In the decant, this is vanilla with a slight fruity tone to it, and it's the same on my skin. Intriguing. It mellows out to this interesting blend of vanillas with what I'm pretty sure is a chamomile undertone. It does stay close to the skin, but I likes. Definite bottle, and plus I think it's off backorder now.

In the frimp I got of this from the lab, it's a bronzish color; I have no way to tell whether or not this has been aged in the lab. I also get a hint of vanilla overwhelmed by doctor's-room-esque spices. Something tells me this hasn't been aged. On my skin, I get the vanilla, darkened by the spices. Oh, this smells good. Beautiful vanilla-spice, and it doesn't go doctor's office on me, which is awesome. Definite bottle, going to inquire to see whether or not it's been aged; if it has, well, then it's going to be getting a bottle and having it age a bit.

In the imp, I'm getting a really sweet, delicate scent. It's the same on my skin; a very light floral, with a slight tang to it. I think I'm getting a really good blend of the jasmine and rose in this, but this is going to stay an imp; it's not anything I particularly want a whole 5 mL of.

Floral, with the dread beast opium, which I'm quickly learning does not work well on me (might have to do with the codeine allergy?). On my skin, the florals seem to be balancing out the opium pretty well; it's an incredibly sweet smell, with just a tinge of bitterness from the opium. It's a nice scent, but nothing that's inspiring me to buy a bottle.

A sweet, dark floral smell in the imp. On my skin, I'm getting what I think is the opium amped pretty crazily strong, and it goes straight to doctor's office, with a sickly sweetness underneath. Ugh. Must get off now.

I get a spicy sort of cologne in the imp, and it's the same on my skin. It doesn't seem to have a lot of presence on me, either. ...And then it turns into soapy rose with doctor's office. Yeah, no.

I can definitely smell the lilac and what's either the violet or the tuberose. It's almost a fruity floral, if that makes sense. I definitely get the lilac and the violet on my skin, though, and it's a bit of a sharp, but nice floral. Remains pretty much the same throughout, and not anything I need a bottle of, but will be nice as an imp here and there.

In the imp, I'm getting the almond with a sweet sort of floral scent. It's the same on my skin; a beautiful little scent, and incredibly sweet. This is going to be a definite bottle, just even while it's drying down; a sweet, tangy, delicate scent, a distant cousin to the Girl, but they've probably met on the street once or twice.

In the decant, I get a really sharp scent; not quite sure what it is. Maybe the lavender? I get it on my skin, too, but it's very, very faint; I had to apply a pretty large amount out of the decant to get anything. Whatever's in here, my skin is swallowing it up like nobody's business, which is disappointing, as I wanted this to work so badly. There's probably someone out there who'll love this more than I do, so she's going to the swaps. Sorry, girl, but you're just too timid. You might be a cousin to the King of Hearts, with the lavender.

I got this as a part of a swap that happened before the announcement, and it just got here today. In the imp, I get a really light, delicate vanilla, with an undertone of musk. On my skin, this is really reminiscent of The Girl, without the crystalline florals; a light, delicate vanilla. And, on me, very, very faint. I don't think this is anything I'm going to need a bottle of, cause I've already got a 5mL of The Girl, and there's probably someone who'd appreciate the imp more than me. For those of you who are sad about this being unavailable for now or potentially DC'd, I'd seriously suggest trying The Girl, so long as you don't mind florals.

In the imp, I get almonds and a bit of spice. Once on my skin, it's almonds and either clove or sassafrass? I'm not really sure which. Definitely an interesting scent, we'll see how it dries down. The clove dominates in this, but it balances out with the almonds, and turns into this darkly spicy scent. Very mannish; a solid scent, but I think I'll be fine with just my two imps of this.
