  1. CCLXIII (263)

     

    Previously reviewed on page 4, 12 years ago. A friend gave me half a decant, and here we are.

    It's a soft lemon that has nothing to do with cleansers. Maybe it is lemon grass? I can see something like amber in here to soften it up and almost make it a little powdery. Minimal throw.


  2. Surprising hit of the Travelogue. Blackcurrant is one of my favorite notes. The white musk is never screeching, and I never got the cacao. It dries down to a soft white musk/blackcurrant with just a little bit of wood for grounding.


  3. Ugh. This is stinky cat pee/jasmine when it's wet, and I don't know where it's coming from. The neroli? The oudh? There's apple over top of it for sure, and it's not as bad when it drys down, but I still washed it off within 10 minutes. After scrubbing, it's traces of leather and...dryer sheets. Disappointing, I had high hopes for this one based on the notes.


  4. CCCXX=320

     

    Two previous reviews can be found earlier, mentioning coconut and a tropical feel, a scent that would be at home in the Tiki Lounge. Nine years later, and this is rose. That's about it. *Maybe* a little sweetness from coconut, but nothing that I could pick up and identify before reading the reviews.

    Previous reviews can be found on pages 6, 11, 12, and 14.
    A friend gifted me with a TON of old imps, and this is one of them.
    So, nine years later, we've still got a sweet cake batter smell. Maybe a touch of dry cocoa, but nothing I could have named without the previous reviews. I can also smell the Fruit Loops/dry fruit smell that was mentioned earlier. A touch of powder at this point. Nothing I'll be keeping.


  6. This is the same dl note that's in Sonnet d'Automne. It's very sharp at first, and seems almost to be a single note. I had originally set this aside for my husband; while I like the dl note, I can get it in a softer form from SdA, but the tobacco finally came out after about an hour and quieted things down nicely. I'm keeping it for now, but it still might go to him at some point, like...


  7. A sweet red musk. You can definitely smell the pom, although I'm not able to identify it as such, just sweet fruit. I never got much of the woods or incense. There was very little throw, surprising for a red musk blend. Definitely a keeper; hopefully the woods and incense will come out more as it ages and give it some depth.
