I wish this were stronger on me. It's a very nice scent, but it's sooooo faint and soft. I went back and slathered it on my arm, but I can only smell it when my nose goes to my wrist or the occassional random waft as I move.

 

In the imp I get more wood, but on my skin it's sandalwood and leather. but it's so faint I REALLY have to take a good long sniff from my wrist to get that wonderful leather note. (it's been on for 2 hours with no morphing and no getting stronger).

 

I like my scents to be a bit more noticable, but it's quite nice!

 

*edit - another 90 minutes later and the leather is coming out more! i'm hopeful!

blech. smells like tht old "shaped" soap we had in the late 80s /early 90s...you know the kind you bought from craft stores because it looked like seahorses or butterflies, etc.

berry and sweet. has a juicy fruit quality to it, but better.

the first thing I notice is the spice. almost a cinnamon but not quite - more sweet, almost fruity. that's mainly what I get is a nice spice but it has undertones of wood. I would have said more of a orange/citrus than cherry, with red from the spice, maybe even a hint of red musk

sadly, it stays VERY close to the skin and I like my scents to surround me a bit more.

I like it, but not enough to hunt down this LE

 

*edit

a few hours later it turns almost soapy, still very soft and almost fruity

spice is gone

oooooh that plum blossom!!!! it reminds me of Kitsune-Tsuki, but not as layered.

after several hours I might be picking up some of the rice, but it stays a strong plum!

the fir is VERY strong at first then disappears within an hour. After that I don't smell much else at all, maybe light flowers, maybe...

but it's almost like I put nothing on

pomegranate with red musk and something sharp. it's not a bad scent, just not me

soapy pomegranate with some lavender

At first it's just a very nice men's cologne

 

but after an hour or two the leather comes out nicely making it a wonderful suave and sexy leather-cologne

 

this is not one for slathering as it's strong, but it's very nice

finally! a "foody" scent that I like! normally, pumpkin gets amped so much I can't wear it, and foody scents I do NOT like ON me.

but this one is a sweet-foody scent that I like.

 

initially very strong, but good in a matter of seconds. within an hour or two it's faded considerably though but I still like sniffing my wrist

 

I do get lots of different scents in one, but they are quite well blended (ie they don't scream at me like Floating Market). I *think* blueberry is the dominant note on me.

 

I would love to have more than my tiny tester so I could slather some on and Really test it!

oh wow I love this! Immediately going on the 'must have a bottle' list

 

warm, almost yummy in a way (not foody), just awesome

I don't want to stop sniffing my wrist

it's soft with musk, myrrh, and floral playing very well together.

if I got any hint of saffron at the beginning it faded fast on me and I'm not sure I can pinpoint almond or amber, but they're there.

wow. leather! strong leather! but a good worn leather (not old nasty couch like Red Rider)

 

then I get machine oil and the tobacco for an almost sweet blend that is gritty, but also bright with a high/sharp scent in there. it matches the name Rivet.Goth perfectly.

I wouldn't say this is a pretty or nice scent, but there's something about it I definitely like. It seems dark and dirty and makes me want to slather it on and do dirty things

 

a few hours later the leather has taken over again and is wearing more like old couch leather that's a bit oily That's a shame. If it stayed with the initial leather and the machine oil/tobacco absolute I would have bought a bottle, but this is just not a good morph on me

 

8 hours later just the leather - it's strong and has lasted all day. so strong the little dab on my wrist is all I've been able to smell all day. it's mellowed out to a nice leather, but with the rarity of this scent I will save my $ for something I like better

initial sniff skin and imp is dark, incensey with nothing much distinguishable. it's nice but faint.

 

2 hours later I get a wonderful scent coming off my wrist, but I can only smell it if I literally put my nose on my wrist and sniff it's much softer, a tad more resiny/floral and works so well on my skin! I just can't smell it unless I'm actually trying to

ooh very pink fruity musk; soft, sweet, but with body

I just want to keep sniffing and it's not something I would normally wear, but it SCREAMS loligoth perfectly! I can instantly picture white and pink frilly dress and a big fruity lollipop

but just a few minutes on my skin and it really starts to fade

smells like sugary, fizzy, lemon lime in the imp

on my skin it turns a bit sour I still get lemon, but like bad cleaning lemon - ugh!

argh! it smells so nice and fades so quickly!!!

*nose to wrist* I can't make out anything in particular anymore. man, I wish I had a full imp so that I could slather it on and (hopefully) bask in it for longer.

I do get some cherry and some incense/musk

*edit -later the same day I get the musky vanilla coming out more and it's niiiiice

VERY floral. But, it's not too overpowering and it doesn't go soapy or clean. It has a nice mix of flowers that round out to one floral scent, a little heavier on the rose than the others. Usually rose goes crazy bad headache strong on me lol - but here I can smell it in without being knocked over by it
for me, this is the best rose scent I've tried
I still don't think I want to smell like a rose though so I wont be keeping it, but it was nice to not have to wash it off immediately (it's 2 hours after putting it on and no headache!)

I get strawberry or red berries very sweet but with an underlying grossness like something dark and rotting

on me it has a soft side that's kind of herby and green, but there's an almost acrid bite. not quite astringent or lemony, just a sharp acrid bite over the softer layers. That fits the reptoid image - you don't even see the bite coming.

ooooooh in the bottle I get all with cognac strongest and on me it's a rather pleasant mix of all the notes that still leads with the cognac. normally I don't like booze scents but this is a rich sweetness tempered by the leather and wood and even the tobacco

interesting

I get the benzoin and sandalwood. there's a sweetness to it I'll attribute to the tonka, but I'm not getting any nutmeg..wait...upon close sniffing I get a hint of it.

it's fading very fast (while I sit here and type) and turning a bit sweeter

the hubby likes and it's faded down to a nice soft and sweet sandalwood

I really like Dragon's Blood so I'm trying to get a list together of ALL the BPAL scents that have this note in them so I can try them

I got married last Halloween and I wore Chimera (my hubby loves it on me). that warm cinnamon worked very nicely!

 

I recommend something both you and your SO like

I got a frimp of

The Quick and The Dead

 

but I don't know if it's a BPAL scent or what? can anyone help?

Villainess had a Quick or Dead perfume out at one point. If that's it, the notes are "Sarsparilla and sweetgrass, worn saddle leather, tobacco smoke and the remains of a spicy lime cologne."

 

 

that's got to be it -thanks!
