Very reminiscent of "O". Just like the description says: Snake oil and honey! Sweet snake oil with honey. this is definitely not the spicey snake oil we all know, but a comforting, sweet version!

in the imp: strong red wine

 

wet on skin: less wine, more fruits and especially plum notes. very sweet, warm and fruity.

 

dry on skin: wine and fruit. something about this has a sort of baked goods smell, like a fruit pastry.

Omg. this is great. Very sweet vanilla and patchouli. The vanilla is almost foody sweet, but mixed with the patchouli and hemp it smells sooo yummy. like eating cake in the woods? This blend actually reminds me a little of voodoo, but more sweet. I *need* a bottle of this...

Strong plum with a hint of florals. There's got to be some babys breath in here! This is a very summer blend. I'm not getting any cream though. As it dries, the wildflowers take over, and that's all i'm left with.

Second Banded Sea Snake But only if you're good with snake oil.

in the imp: very faint patcouli and spicey apples

 

wet on skin: this is a very light scent while wet. I am getting faint notes of crisp apple and rose, and some herbal scents, namely the patchouli. the apple is the dominating note on me.

 

dry on skin: the rose is a lot stronger now. all i'm mostly getting is roses and herbs... the beautiful apple note has faded to the background.

in the imp: very faint musk and coconut

 

wet on skin: coconut & musk

 

dry on skin: very tropical, in the tanning lotion sense. smells like coconut tanning oil...

in the imp: very fruity wine

 

wet on skin: strong fruit and red wine.

 

dry on skin: smokey wine! the tobacco note is starting to come out. there are some florals too which i'm not to fond of, I can definitely see the potpuri comparison some have mentioned.

Very strong on the inital application. This smells like smokey vanilla on the drydown. Very sexy, i'd wear this on a hot date

This is very mossy... very strange. I had my mom who's a gardener smell this, and she said it smells like moldy dirt!

in the imp: warm vanilla

 

wet on skin: very soft vanilla... so cuddly!

 

dry on skin: I'm not getting much wood out of this, if at all... just a comforting vanilla.

in the bottle: herbal chocolate. a little strange, but sweet and sexy.

 

wet on skin: VERY strong herbals. just a touch of cocoa hiding underneath those herbals.

 

dry on skin: very soft chocolate with a touch of herbals. Oh my, this dries down beautifully! Very sexy!

This is for the 08 blend.

 

in the bottle: florals with pine in the background. Smells like febreeze..

 

wet on skin: Oh! Sweet pine! very pleasant. No febreeze anymore! this would be wonderful on a cold winter day.

 

dry on skin: This is gorgeous. A lot different on the drydown. The pine is not as strong, but mingles with snow, florals and something else I can't quite make out. Very girly, and a soft pine!

in the bottle: very thick chocolate and smoke. burnt chocolate?

 

wet on skin: this stuff is darker than snake oil! This is musky chocolate... no smoke yet!

 

dry on skin: chocolate and a little bit of smoke. This is very much like a less spicey snake oil/boomslang... yum!

For the 08 version

 

The 09 is almost identical to this one, although this one seems to be a little more sweet and has more staying power. It has less of the "plastic" note everyone talks about, that reminds me of lush's snowcake.

I believe this is the 07 version

 

in the bottle: it smells like a smokey candle mixed with febreeze and alcohol. :S

 

wet on skin: wow, uh this smells very febreezy. Almost burns my nose a little. It smells VERY floral-y.

 

dry on skin: a bit of the apple is starting to come out. smells like strong, febreeze still.... I'll have to wait and see how it smells hours after application.

in the bottle: very earthy and herbal, but sweet

 

wet on skin: earthy with patchouli in the background! there's a hint of citrus and it smells a little smokey, guessing that's the tobacco.

 

dry on skin: dries down nicely, not as strong as it was initially. I think this is a very unisex sort of scent, mysterious and sexy. I want my boyfriend to give this a try!

in the imp: soft orange and vanilla

 

wet on skin: oh yum. I have to agree this is like creamy orange incense... very lovely.

 

dry on skin: smokey vanilla. can't quite smell the orange anymore, but it's still nice!

This is pure gingerbread! I think I prefer Invasion of the Flesh Eating Reindeer more than this one, it's a little stronger. Compared to Reindeer, this is the lighter version with less spices.

This review is of the 2006 luper

 

in the imp: lots of booze and musk! very sweet.

 

wet on skin: musk musk musk! booze is very light underneath the musk. Almost smells a tad fruity!

 

dry on skin: lots of musk and very little booze. Obviously, if you like musk, which I do, you'll enjoy this

Just tried Black Pearl, and it is VERY coconutty on me! I love this one! It smells a little bit like tanning lotions at first (which I don't mind) but dris down beautifully!

in the imp: sweet, light white musk

 

wet on skin: coconut and musk! This smells a little bit like tanning oils/lotion, but that's okay because I love the smell of them.

 

dry on skin: the flower notes came out a lot more stronger now. But I still like this! I can still smell the coconut and musk. This is a very light, beautiful scent, and would be perfect for summer time!

in the imp: strong, grassy herbals with some sweet notes

 

wet on skin: strong vertiver and pine. The pine is the most dominant note.

 

dry on skin: This is a very strong scent. The pine is still there, with some sweet notes (vanilla, almond) lurking in the background. But overall what I get most is the pine, and very little patchouli. This is a very woodsy/outdoors scent!

Alot of the Atomic Lua Lounge LE's feature coconut, including screeching parrot which is delicious, but not as a main note. I don't think i've come across a bpal that smells PURELY of coconut, but the atomic lua's are very tropical.. you may find a winner with them! I'm sure you can find imps in the for sale thread.

straight up carnations! Almost a little spicey. No morphing on the drydown.
