    Masquerade

    straight sniff from bottle is veeeeeeeery similar to the cologne known as 4711....neroli and orange dominate the first sniff from this exquisitely well-aged bottle.... once applied cedarwood and resins dance about with the the orange and neroli...a very smoky quality...huge throw and hippie-ish....a touch of bitterness...this is truly unique and i am swooning over this scent!! if you have not tried masquerade and wish to throw caution to the wind, give it a whirl...it's just that amazing

    Hexennacht (2008)

    straight sniff from bottle there is a component in here that reminds me milk moon 2007... sort of a sweetened condensed milk combined with fir and forest herbs... once applied....WOW !! do i ever love this one....piney and definitely warmed by amber with a bit of smoky depth.... long wear length and remains beautiful all day long...i l-o-v-e this to bits and it works perfectly with my german heritage/chemistry....

    Upa Upa

    straight sniff from imp is that fav coconut note in my beloved red lantern...yum!! adding to that, it is swirled with captain morgan ... once applied this is a delicious tropical cocktail... the buttery coconut and spiciness it is a complete winner for me...the fact that it never turns funky or playdough is a plus...i could just drink me up

    Marae

    straight sniff from imp is gardenia and vanilla orchid...heavenly once applied gardenia and incense are just beautiful together...a touch of sandalwood is quite possibly in here or something similar...very lovely, indeed

    Moai

    Moana

    straight sniff from imp is lots of seaweed combined with a lovely floral... once applied i am in complete awe...this is a true beauty and probably the most exquisite creation of a beach scent that beth has to date...very sophisticated; feminine with lots of throw this was a big bottle purchase for me and i am pleased as punch to say this will be my perfect summertime scent...

    Opuhi

    straight sniff from imp is an elegant vanilla; slightly floral... once applied this is very disappointing it turns into straight play-dough...to prove it was not just me, i asked the boy what he smelled...he sniffed and immediately came up with "playdoughy 'nilla wafer"...off to the swap pile she goes....

    The Queen's Croquet Ground

    Do you adore Rose Red from the Lab? This is a not so distant cousin...amazingly fresh, bright, beautiful red roses blooming in June over a freshly mowed lawn...I love this ...if you want something that smells completely natural, this beauty is for you... Extremely long lasting and powerful...I am thrilled with this.

    Rangoon Riptide

    straight sniff from imp is nasueating... sweet, cloying butter... once applied the scent changes dramatically....loads of fruit with just the right touch of rum... this fades fast and furiously and alas, not my cup of tea....

    Blue Fire

    straight sniff from imp reminds me of "21" but much more dry... shaken and not stirred once applied lots of blueberry and gin...so interesting because it truly stays dry ... amazing talents of our lovely resident perfume goddess never cease to amaze... this is a really fun scent...just not sure if it works for me

    Tiki Queen

    straight sniff from imp is heady, white florals... once applied the tuberose is hayoooooge and clingy for about 5 minutes and then a lot more florals bounce about...i only get a touch of coconut and vanilla... perfect for a sunset walk along a hawaiian beach...sultry, seductive at its best

    Golden Wave

    straight sniff from the imp is tonic and fruity heaven... once applied the passion fruit and guava are front and center and sooooooo good... any of you remember calyx by prescriptives?? this is a much more well rounded version her more mature, demure sister, if you will...

    Cathouse Atmosphere Spray

    i could not agree more with alicia's review!! this stuff is da bomb!! highly scented with the most divine notes...i have darker curtains in certain rooms of this house so i am not afraid to spray away ... the amazing thing is that the gorgeous scent lingers and whenever i walk past my open window i am refreshed with a lovely aroma... excellent and high quality product go get yourself a bottle...you will be very pleasantly surprized

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    i think that is supposed to be a tree on a hill in the background

    Frederic

    this is my *fav* scent of all time from the lab!!! ZomG...dark and mysterious and oh so sexy~~ this is a johnny depp scent if there ever was one... salt and patchouli are predominant followed by the tang of bay rum and chypre... if sweeney todd had smell-o-vision this would reek of it in the best way possible !!!

    Sugar Moon 2008

    straight sniff from imp i definitely get something that is very much whiskey...hmmm once applied this has somewhat of a burning note which could very well be the mahogony and musk and blackberry leaf... this is quite intriguing to my schnoz...and quite a morpher as well...i think this may age wonderfully

    Hanami

    straight sniff from imp is light and airy florals...a touch of something almost fruity... once applied this reminds me exactly of "gee your hair smells terrific" from my younger days... this has a lot of throw and is quite lovely especially for springtime
