    Privilege

    Polished party-girl sleaze. This is a shameless scent, devoid of caution, regret, or introspection. This perfume reeks of tabloid glamour, and has no substance whatsoever. Armoise, tuberose, white citrus, rose absolute, oakmoss, tiare, tuberose, vanilla, linden, and lemon tree blossom. ... straight sniff from imp is quite green ... reminds me of homegrown weed interestingly enuff, while it smells "typical" chanel perfumey in the imp, it calms down on my skin and i simply get the weed with a sweetness to it...odd...& yet goofy...jury's out folks

    Different smells/colors, same perfume

    this thread just so reminds me of all saints 2005 abd 2006... thanks be to the powers i received the "resinous and heady" all saints (2005 and 2006) vs. the rosey and resinous variety...of course differerent strokes for different folks... it truly is an amazing journey

    The Deep Ones

    straight sniff from bottle is very much dark, salty seafoam once applied the salt becomes intense and an almost metallic note comes bursting through...this is very strong after awhile there is a bright note that appears and fades fast into the depths of the deepest and darkest of waters...amazing

    Macbeth and the Witches

    straight sniff from the bottle this *is* lightning charged ozone....my lordy... how does beth do it?! once applied the ozone amps up ... this is not an overpowering scent; subtle and interesting after several hours i get a sense of the leather; again subtly this is a very artistic and beautiful blend

    Calico Jack

    straight sniff from imp is spicy and salty and sooooooooo cap'n jack sparrow once applied this gets very aquatic remaining spicy and salty~ this is definitely a superbly masculine blend so off to my dad it goes... ironically, a day before our vacation to glorious Ptown...he'll be smelling very piratey for sure

    Love and Pain

    straight sniff from bottle this is the "most" beautiful lavender beth has created to date... once applied super, strong lavender takes a few moments to settle down with my chemistry...the dark and deep musk and vanilla temper this to perfection and i get the tiniest waft of the tobacco...Lordy be...my favorite salon scent the lab has to offer, hands down ETA: after 1 hour, this is still going strong and now has a somewhat smoky note...

    Voodoo Lily

    straight sniff from imp is almost a limey spice...hmm once applied a super spicy floral that is just fantastic!! this lasts a good long time on me and i adore the uniqueness of the scent! great job kebechet!!

    Rapture

    straight sniff from imp is a musky jasmine... once applied the roses and myrrh combine with the musky jasmine and turn into something too reminiscent of dear old gramma

    The Knave of Hearts

    my goodness! straight sniff from imp is exactly as described: crushed roses & black currant tarts with a slightly chocolate edge... this has a similarity to "love lies bleeding"...a particular favorite of mine once applied this is absolutely one of the best GC scents the lab has to offer... the rose note is by far the most fabulous ever and the foodiness of the tarts is outstanding...i need a big bottle of this one...stunning!!!

    Tamamo-no-Mae

    straight sniff from imp is green tea with a twist of something fruity... once applied this gets a touch creamy and the ginger amps up ... a zingy and interesting scent for certain!

    Osun

    staight sniff from imp is baby powder... once applied super sweet wildflower honey...this packs quite a punch! after a few minutes the baby powder scent comes thru again but with a twist of something like sage or thyme...this is a true morpher on me and very pretty

    Aries 2007

    straight sniff from imp is ginger and lots of black pepper... once applied the honeysuckle steps forward and mingles beautifully with the strong pepper and ginger...this is spicy and quite lovely

    Priala, the Human Phoenix (2006)

    straight sniff from imp is a smoky cinnamon once applied this actually gets resinous and the cinnamon wafts faintly in the background; then turns a tad soapy...very nice but not nearly long lasting enuff for me...glad i tried it though!

    Rose Moon

    straight sniff from the bottle is roses... and once applied is roses... this is pretty much a single note rose scent for me and nothing more...*sigh*

    Bildungsroman

    wow...the scent is incredible... sassafras for sure...or perhaps wintergreen and lots of green herbalicious goodness with resinous components...amazingly well blended... as the reviewer before me stated, this will be one i hope to help me with my all around self development and self growth with my job
