imp/wet: this smells really hot, like if you took a bite it would light your mouth on fire. i know ginger isn't listed, but this smells like ginger covered manderin, the ginger must be the clove.

drydown/dry: it softens up, and now smells like gum drops to me.

overall: not for me, off to swaps.

Imp/wet: sweet roses, it doesn't makeme think of dark deep red roses though. It's more like light colored roses, yellow, light pink, or peach colored roses maybe.

Drydown: the pomegranate comes out more making it juicier. It still has the sweet rose.

Dry: pretty much the same, roses, and pomegranate.

Overall: this is a very fruity floral, kind of flirty, and very girly. I don't like pomegranates so I didn't think I would like this, but they play well with the roses. It is awesome for a spring/summer day, or night, and makes me want to head to the park with a picnic basket, and sip pink lemonade. I like it a lot, and will use up my imp, but don't think I will need a bottle just yet.

This smelled like pinesol the whole time on me. It also gave me really horrible nightmares instead of keeping them away. I usually don't have them, but I kept waking up all night after having several nightmares. Off to swaps.

edited b/c I forgot to say these were not normal scary dreams, they were hardcore nightmares. Very realistic, in my dreams people were going crazy, and killing things, someone spiked my puppy like a football, and another person killed my youngest daughter. It also had me in such a deep dream cycle that I was still dreaming when it woke me up, I was in my bed while it seemed like everything was going on, and I couldn't move, I couldn't breath, or scream. It was terrifying, I really hate this scent.

Imp/wet: sweet, juicy fruirts, and florals.

Dry/dry: still very much the same but a little stronger.

Overall: this is very well blended I couldn't really pick out single notes because of this. It is really pretty, and kind of flirty, makes me feel happy, flirty, and pretty as i'm wearing it! I love it, and want a big bottle for sure!

Imp: warm, sexy tonka, and clove.

Wet: tonka, clove, and incense.

Drydown: the violet is comming out, and taking over.

Dry: violet, and spice.

Overall: this started out warm, and sexy, but quickly turned to violet. Violet seems to go powdery on me. off to swaps.

Imp: rose

Wet: rose, and lily, mostly rose though.

Drydown: rose, lily, and jasmine. I thought I smelled sweet pea.

Dry: rose, lily, jasmine, and water lily.

Overall: this is mostly rose, with the other florals in the background. I would not recommend this for someone who doesn't like rose, or florals. It's very pretty, but I have other florals I like better, so off to swaps.

Imp: vetiver, and patchouli.

Wet: vetiver which smells like dirt on me, patchouli, and cocoa. after trying other vetiver scents I have realized the cocoa comes from that.

Drydown: vetiver, patchouli, cocoa, and grapefruit.

Dry: everything above, and pepper.

Overall: I love this, the cocoa, and grapefruit I get are amazing! I want to try it on my husband as well, but I also want to horde it all for myself lol.

Imp/wet: dirt, and wood.

Drydown: dirt, ozone/rain, and wood.

Dry: dirt, ozone/rain, and wet decomposing trees.

Overall: this smells like taking a walk in the woods after a good rain, everything is wet. It's a very nice scent, but very aquatic, and I always find aquatic to masculine for me.

Imp/wet: thick, dark, heavy, smokey, and sexy. Amber, and patchouli.

Drydown: the cinnamon comes out in this stage making it spicier, and warmer.

Dry: now I am getting the sandalwood. Also something that is slightly creamy, I think that is the amber though, which has been known to turn powdery on me.

Overall: this is very well blended, and has great throw. It's really seductive, and sexy. If this was a mixture of sins it would be lust, pride, greed, and envy. It really is naughty! Amber turns to powder a lot on me, but it seems like the cinnamon is making the powder creamy instead of overpowering. I love this oil, and as long as the amber behaves it's a keeper for sure!

I forgot to add that if this were a song it would be rev 22:20 by puscifer, the lyrics that come to mind, "even jesus would martyr his mama to ride to hell between those thighs".

Imp: very herbal I couldn't pick anything out though. Very well blended.

Wet: herbs, woods, and something like cocoa powder.

Drydown: the woods come out more, it's cedar, along with other woods, but cedar is all I can pick out. The cedar, and cocoa smell pretty wonderful together.

Dry: the woods amp even more, and the herbal smell is back. The cocoa is pretty much gone, only catching faint wiffs of it .

Overall: this is a very well blended scent, that is so comforting. I wish the cocoa smell I got would have lasted, if it had I would have loved this. Since it didn't this scent isn't really for me, I think it will be really nice on my husband though.

Imp: big red gum

Wet: big red gum

Drydown: big red gum, and maybe roses.

Dry: pretty much the same, but softer.

Overall: off to swaps, where maybe it will find a home with someone that it doesn't smell like gum on.

Imp: dirt, and something very clean.

On: dirt covered mushrooms, floral, but i'm not sure what kind.maybe lily though. There is a tangy smell that's kind of citrus, but it faint. It smells very clean too.

Overall: this didn't morph any, kept the same smell the whole time. I like it.

Imp: I don't know why, but it smelled like very sharp, wet, just cut cedar.

Wet: pepper, I think that must be the ginger, but anything else with finger never smelled like pepper.

Drydown: pepper, grapefruit, and apple blossom.

dry: pepper, grapefruit, apple blossom, and faint very faint tea.

Overall: this would have been very pretty, and I would have liked ot if it didn't have the pepper smell on me. It's a clean scent, but I can't get over the pepper. It fades very fast on me too, off to swaps.

Imp: I know it's white grapefruit, but I smelled lemon pound cake.

Wet: lemon cake, tea, and tonka.

Drydown: now I can tell it's grapefruit, but with the creamy tonka it still reminds me of lemon pound cake. I still get tea, and now I can smell a floral that must be the wisteria.

Dry: all of the above, but the tea is stronger, and the wisteria has died down.

Overall: the tea didn't smell like green tea to me, but a breakfast tea with cream, and sugar. This makes me think of haveing a breakfaat of grapefruit, lemon muffins, and tea, on a patio surrounded by trees covered in wisteria. It is a really beautiful scent, that in no way makes me think of tears. It's gorgeous though, going to have to find some more.

Imp: strong, sharp, and masucline.

Wet: dark, a root celler covered in cobwebs. With some cocoa powder spilled on the dirt floor.

 

Then it turned to baby powder if it doesn't smell nice on my husband, it's off to swaps.

Imp: ginger, and mens shaving soap, the kind you would use with a straight razor.

Wet: ginger, shave soap, and smoke.

Drydown: ginger, shave soap, smoke, cinnamon, clove, and I swear roasted marshmellows.

Dry: all of the stuff from drydown, and now the leather, and a faint bit if blood come out.

Overall: when I read the notes I didn't think I would like it at all. The dessicated skin sounded nasty, but I think that's where the smoke came from. It was a campfire type smoke too, not the burning hair, and skin I was expecting, thank god. This was very was, and spicy, lasted along time, abd had a good throw. Every once in a while I would get a wiff of dirt when I reached for something, but if I brought my wrist to my nose I couldn't smell it. Sad because I love the bpal dirt note. I really liked this, but I don't know if it's too manly for me to wear. Try on husband for sure.

Imp: tomato vine, and nothing else.

Wet: tomato vine, and a bit of upturned soil.

Drydown: tomato vine, greenbeans, dirt, and wild flowers.

Dry: the wildflowers come out some more, but everything else is still there.

Overall: this didn't turn soapy on me at all. It smells so lifelike. Someone else mentioned turtles, and I have to agree. I grew up in the mountains of east tennessee, and this reminds me of that. Being a kid, catching turtles, filling a cardboard box with grass, and leaves for the turtles. This smells just like a turtle box lol. It reminds me of planting tomatos with my mamaw. Running around barefoot outside, and threw the woods. Playing in the creek. It smelled so much like tomatos in the imp I didn't think I would want to wear it, but the floral note that comes out makes it very pretty, a.d wearable. This really makes me want to go outside, and plant my sunflower seeds. It's a keeper for sure, too bad I don't think I will beable to find more of it.

Imp: first sniff is dirt, damp rich soil. Second sniff I got the rose geranium.

Wet: the floral comes to the front, and is about all I can smell.

Drydown: I am getting some of the spanish moss now. The first reviewer said it turned aquatic on her, and it has on me as well.

Dry: the dirt comes back out, and I can smell all the notes now. Except irish yew, it might be there, but I don't know what that smells like.

Overall: I really love this. The moss, dirt, floral, aquatic mix makes me think of a hot, humid night in a garden next to a louisiana swamp. Aquatics always smell somewhat masculine to me, so if he can get past the floral I will have my husband try it out. To me this is unisex, but with the floral it leans toward feminine. It really does smell amazing though. It has a really good throw as well.

Imp: sharp green and herbal.

On: it started off how it smelled in the imp, but quickly turned to nothing but powder. Right before the powder I did get a bit of rose, but it only lasted for second. Off to swaps.

Imp: wood, cedar maybe?
Wet: beeswax, and frankincense.
Drydown: I smell a smoke to it now, like a lit beeswax candle. Still frankincense, and some saffron now, with a tiny bit of lemon there as well.
Dry: still pretty much the same as drydown, but a bit more smokey. There is also a slight menthol smell.
Overall: this does have an electric feel to it. Has a decent throw. It's very nice smooth scent, that I find sexy. Not in your face sexy, but a subtle kind of sexy. Makes me think of a hot guy working under the hood of a car, covered in grease. He's not trying to be sexy, he just is, and it takes everything you got to keep from jumping him right there in the garage. That said, it's not for me, can't wait to try it on my husband though. It's not too masculine for a woman though, a lady could wear this, and smell just as yummy.

Imp: lemons

I put this on my wrist, and crook of my elbow to test.

Wet: wrist; lemon soap. Elbow; lemon tea.

Dry: wrist: soap just soap. Elbow. Lemon tea.

Overall: this is the only tea party scent I have.tried that I didn't care much for. Off to swaps.

Imp: strong white floral, sweet, but with a bite. Reminds me of magnolia.

Wet: strong floral I thought lily, but it might e gardenia. I also get honey.

10 min: sweet floral covered in powdered sugar. It is almost too sweet. The floral mixed with powdered sugar makes me think of marie antoinette for some reason.

30 min: amaretto thick, sticky, and sweet. With yhe floral in the background.

1 hr: there is some spice now, clove. Amaretto, and vanilla.

1 hr 30 min: spice, honey, vanilla with hints of amaretto, and floral.

Overall: at first this was too sweet. It softened the longer it was on though, and morphed into a nice scent. I'm not sure about it, I don't dislike, but i'm not very fond of it either. I will hold onto it for awhile though, give it another shot.

Imp: I smell wood, so I guess that would be the red sandalwood.

Wet: cherries, after reading other reviews I found out that was the almond.

Drydown: the jasmine is comming out, mixing with the sandalwood, and it gives off a creamy spicey scent.

Dry: it is still sandalwood, and jasmine, but it's gotten warmer. Smells more like a headshop now.

Overall: it's a warm incense type scent, not really for me.

Imp: coconut, not ripe though.

Wet: lime, and coconut.

Drydowm: lime, coconut, musk, and florals.

Dry: the florals, and musk come out more with the lime, and coconut hanging out in the background. There is a slightly soapy scent to this, but it's not overwhelming.

Overall: this is a clean, light scent. I don't really dislike, but I don't see myself ever reaching for it. So it's off to swaps.

Imp: sharp, and cool very aquatic.

I am having a hard time picking out single notes, it's very well blended. I can't pick out any florals, or inscents, but they seem to be there. It has a minty feel to it, but not mint candy, mint growing in a hot sun. I also get sea spray smell, and a fresh linen. It does smell frozen! I love it, but everytime I smell it, I think "man". Will have to try this on my husband.
