In the imp - Slightly sweet linen. Wet - Sweetness amps momentarily, and then the tobacco musk comes through as the linen evens out a bit. Dry - Heady incense, tobacco, and ink. I feel rather mysterious with it on.

In the imp- Fresh cut rose, a bit overpowering. Wet- Mellows out on the skin. Fresh rose petals, green and rosy. Dry- Same as wet, but a little powdery.

In the imp- I smell the sweetness of the lychee and the rose first. And for some reason a faint whiff of cinnamon. Wet- The lychee and the rose combine into an almost citrus scent. It's a little generic bath product like. Dry- The lychee and the cistus do something weird on me, not quite bad, but not quite good either.

Soft moss, vanilla musk, and cherry blossom. In the imp- Cherry blossom and musk, very little vanilla. Wet- Moss takes over, with just a hint of cherry blossom in the background. Dry- The moss mellows out and plays nicely with the floral notes. The scent makes me feel like I'm sitting under cherry tree in the spring.

Smut 2010 In the imp- Musky, sweet, sex. Wet- Same, but the boozy notes are coming through. Dry- Delicious, sweetly musky.

These are scents I'm interested in trying out. Unless otherwise noted, I'm not looking for bottles of these.

In the imp- Beeswax followed by sweet wine, all of it backed by dusty rose. Wet- The sweetness tones down, and the frankincense comes out with the beeswax. Only this faintest hint of rose. Dry- Beeswax and roses. Makes me think of old books and tea on a rainy day.

In the imp- Amber and orange blossom, faintly sweet and spicy. Not picking up any vanilla. Wet- Mostly amber, though the orange blossom is still adding a floral/spicy note to it. Dry- Spicy, sweet, complex amber. Good for daily wear when I want something more complex then straight amber.

In the imp- Rosewood and rose, just the barest hint of the resins. Wet- Rose and Myrrh. Dry- Rose, amber, frankincense, and myrrh all playing together nicely. I just want to sit here smelling my wrist.

In the imp- Tea, tuberose, and lime. Wet- Flowery tea, I almost want to drink my arm. Dry- The tea takes a step back, and the rest just blends into one of the few light floral scents i love.

In the imp- Ylang ylang and orange blossom. A faint hint of coconut milk. Wet- The florals are still there, but the musk and amber come out to play. Dry- Softly floral and musky, with an under tone of amber.

In the bottle- Dark chocolate syrup with a hint of herbs. Wet- Chocolate and berries, with a twinge of herbs. Dry- Chocolate mellows out and the honey, bergamot, and tobacco meld into a rich, slightly herby warmth.

In the bottle- Damp leaves and chill. Wet- Damp leaves and autumn wind. Dry- Autumn, cold wind. 5 minutes- A subtle cold scent. Wind and leaves.

In the imp- Burning sage and brush in the best of ways. Wet- Sage moves back, and burning hillside with a faint medicinal background. Dry- Dampens down a bit. Medicinal note starts to morph into sage. 5 minutes- Same as dry. Not good on me to wear, but I love it in the bottle.

In the imp- Smells like syrupy pina colada mix with a faint berry background. Wet- Still pina colada with the rum making an appearance. Dry- Starting to mellow out a bit. 5 minutes- The rum and mandarin come out to play with the pineapple and coconut. Light and fruity, but not me.

In the imp- A lightly floral pear, refreshing. Wet- Tuberose and Plumeria come to the front. Slightly dusty. Dry- Dusty Plumeria. 5 minutes- Faint dusty plumeria and other floral notes. Reminds me of the lingering scent of a book pressed flower.

In the imp- Cedar with something juicy yet green. Wet- Cedar backed by something sweet, maybe the raspberry leaf? 5 minutes- Still cedar, but the sweetness has mellowed and green leafyness is making a presence. Dry- Slightly dusty cedarwood with a hint of green growth.

In the imp- I first smell the spices, then the floral notes. Eventually the jasmine seems to take over. Wet- Spicy jasmine. 5 minutes- The jasmine has mellowed out, but now is a little soapy. Dry- Very faint scent left of soapy, spicy jasmine.

In the bottle- Musky sweet with just a hint of copal. Wet- Copal and beeswax comes through the strongest, with sweet undertones. 5 minutes- The sweet is melding with the copal. Just a hint of beeswax. Dry- It all comes together as a musky sweet incense. One of the first scents I bought, I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not but it has become my favorite scent.

In the imp- Juicy and herby. Can pick out the pomegranate, myrtle, and aquatic notes. Wet- The juiciness disappears and the myrtle and melilot come to the forefront. The faintest hint of rose. Dry- Lost all individual notes to my nose, smells like spring in the woods. Lightly floral and woody. Not an everyday scent for me, but very much a go to when in a flowy, spring-like mood.

In the imp- Light, flowery, and peachy. Wet- Peachy. 5 minutes- The floral tones make a comeback twining with the peach, with the moss as a soft undertone. Dry- The peach gets a tad bit stronger, the floral notes and the moss staying in the background. Not sure if this is gonna be a keeper or not, it might be a good spring scent.

In the imp- Only a faint hint of lime, smells strongly of jasmine to me, specifically pikake . After I pull away I get a lingering lime sherbert scent. Wet- Almost entirely jasmine, not quite as overpowering as in the imp though. Lime has disappeared entirely. 5 minutes- Still mostly jasmine, but the tuberose is starting to peek out. Hoping for it to become more prominent. Dry- Jasmine has softened further, but is still drowning out everything else. Alas I was hoping for more of the other notes to come through on me.

The raw, untamable power of chaos. Rosewood, amber, red musk and a dribble of red sandalwood. In the imp- Sandalwood, amber, and musk. Wet- Sandalwood is still dominant, but now fighting with something that's like dragon's blood. Might be the amber and the rosewood combined. 5 Minutes- Sandalwood is starting to mellow out, starting to get a faint floral powdery note. Feels rather earthy to me. Dry- Amber comes forward, smells a bit like a candied redwood forest with the occasional undertone of soap. Not quite something I'd wear regularly, but maybe if I needed to come across a bit more strongly at work. I'm intensely curious as to how this might wear on my partner, since he normally smells a bit woodsy. Edit- almost an hour after and it smells like a woodsy, resinous incense. Potentially something I'd like my room to smell like.
