In the imp and wet on my skin, all I got was a very faint floral. Then after it warmed and dried, the lilies just popped. The beautiful honeyed lilies smell wonderful!

Amber 159

 

Wow! Amber, chocolate and a rich, boozy Bourbon vanilla. And what a strong throw!

 

ETA: Add a rich, outrageous floral to the description. That came out to play after a couple of hours. 14 hours after application, I smell like I just put it on.

Amber 140

 

Amber and dusty floral. A little sweet, but not unpleasantly so. Quite nice.

Amber 96

 

It's like being in a room filled with brand new plastic dolls. Hundreds of them. And the smell of new plastic is all you get - nothing else.

 

As an aside, the boyfriend commented that if I put enough of it on and sat in the car for a few hours, it might recapture that new car smell...

 

Off to the swap pile for this one.

Amber 51

 

Yum! Warm, wonderful amber and a light, sweet floral (not white, but pink?). What a beautiful scent!

I could smell the iris and wisteria in the imp, but it quickly disappeared once on my skin. All I can smell is dry herbs with a bit of sweetness. Meh. To the swap pile it goes.

Bitter, sharp green at first, so overpowering it's almost nauseating. Switches to floral after a bit, but the floral is perfumey and overly sweet. This one goes to the swap pile.

Vanilla, vanilla, and more vanilla with just a small waft of soft floral. I'm really hoping that the vanilla plays nice and lets the rest of the scents make an appearance.

In the imp, on drydown and for the first hour, it's rose, Rose, ROSE! Not the icky soapy rose, more like freshly opened pink roses. Then the ylang-ylang appears and the scent becomes a little sweeter, but not cloying. Very nice mix of the two!

I HAVE got to find a bottle of this! Spicy, musky floral that smells divine! I got an odd sort of faint smell, kind of like old perfume, in the imp and wet on my skin, but this dried down to something wonderful. The rose is not prevalent -- I get more of a general floral out of it, which is fine because rose doesn't always work on me.

 

A delicate, sweet floral with just the tiniest bit of ginger. The florals develop a bit more on drydown, but it is so very, very light that I'm wondering if this is going to last more than a few hours. Wish it had more of a throw, because it's very pretty.

In the imp: spicy citrus. Wet on my skin, I got an odd whiff of...chocolate?...briefly and then it was all spicy citrus and verbena with just a hint of the lavender. Not getting much of the rosemary, other than it adding a touch of sweetness.

Overall, a light, pleasant scent.

In the imp: green and perfumy. Wet on my skin -- is that rose? Nah, it can't be. Drydown brings out Orange Blossom and bergamot with just a hint of the juniper berry. All in all, I really like this one!

Icy, sweet ethereal white florals. It was so very faint when I put it on that I was certain my skin would just eat it up, but it's getting stronger.

In the bottle and wet on my skin: creamy, musky vanilla. On drydown -- WHAM! -- I get hit with a floral bouquet that has just a hint of the creamy vanilla left. Definitely smelling the lily, violet and honeysuckle, but not so much the tuberose and jasmine. Glad I found a bottle of this because it's a keeper.

Stone. How did they figure out how to do "stone"?

 

Incense and cool stone, much like a dusty library in a stone fortress. Interesting scent that's getting a little sweet on me after nearly two hours.

Sharp white florals with a bite of winter. Almost too sharp at first, but after drydown it is quite lovely. Sigh, I think I see another bottle on the horizon.

Floral in the imp, almost delicately so, but almost nothing but tobacco flower on my skin. It smells a bit like pipe tobacco and floral powder. It's a nice mix, though, and I like it.

Herbs, wood and ash. Mostly ashy for a few - kind of scared me since I can amp wood in a truly awful way -- but that toned down after a bit. There is a bit of cinnamon in there to me, and this is one of the oddest smelling scents I've tried so far. I smell like a combination of an old antiques store and a candle display. Not bad, just weird.

Sweet and perfumey in the imp and on my skin. Not getting much fruit, unfortunately, but boy are the amber, sandalwood and frankincense having a shoving match to see which one can pair with the lotus! This scent comes across as very rich to me, not at all light like the previous posters experienced. I think I like this one enough to get a bottle.

Wore this one yesterday and I love, love, love it! Beautiful florals, nothing overpowering anything else, with just a hint of mint and tea. I could smell it all day!

 

This one goes on the must get a bottle list!

In the imp: very green, light floral, almost "plasticky" but not unpleasantly so. It sort of reminded me of a "Liddlekiddle", those tiny dolls from the 60's and 70's that sometimes came perfumed.

 

On drydown, it lost a lot of the green and the plastic scent, and became a very light, lovely floral. Unfortunately, it's so light that I think I'm losing it. Meh.

 

If it sticks around, I might consider a bottle of this one.

In the imp: soapy, sour jasmine, but I put it on anyway in hopes that the lavender and honeysuckle would overpower it. Suffered through the first hour of smelling nothing but that awful jasmine until the lavender finally showed up. Now I'm starting to smell a little honeysuckle.

 

It's a nice scent, but I don't think it's going to last and I'm not sure it's worth the two hours of suffering through the jasmine.

While I really love this scent, the creamy, warm lavender-infused amber overpowers everything else in the mix for me. That's not a bad thing, though, and I think I'm going to have to get a bottle of this one.

Very spicy floral in the imp and wet on my skin. Not getting any of the rose, but the scent reminds me of a line from Bath & Body Works that had cottonwood blossom in it. Definitely getting the powdery note, though. Strong throw -- I think this one is going to last all day.
