  1. This is a gorgeous summer scent. Its a crisp, clear watery clean scent. It starts out green leaves and lightly scented daffodils, and then melds into a clean watery scent. Its refreshing and light and perfect for when the temperatures soar and you don't want to wear something heavy and resiny. I also highly recommend this one for when you are sensitive to scent, I'm pregnant and its not too much or too strong for me to wear, and most things are now-a-days.


  2. In the imp this is a big red floral, but applied to me its a light summer floral. Its definately floral but its not a big lush red scent on, its more of a sparkly bright floral.


  3. This is good stuff! Its a refreshing lemon-floral with a patchouli base that is complex yet light. I like it a lot and will continue to wear it while the weather is getting warmer and warmer. My only complaint is that it fades rather quickly compared to the other oils I wear, however, reapplying is not such a chore when it smells so nice.


  4. This is warm honey being dripped on a naked body by someone you love or at least lust after. It reminds me of that scene in 9 and 1/2 weeks where that guy blindfolds Kim Basinger's character and feeds her food and drips honey on her mouth and tongue. Its sexy, its intimate. Can you tell that I like it?


  5. Hmm..... From the imp's ear I smell spearmint. Wet and on my wrists I smell spearmint. Once it dries down I smell ...... spearmint with something else. I don't get lavender from the scent, just spearmint and something that gives it a sweet juicy edge. This is not a good scent for me, but it is minty fresh!


  6. I have to admit I was really hesitant to try this one out. From the imp it smells really herbal/piney to me. It kinda scared me. After reading trystrid's review I gathered up the nerve to wear it. As soon as it hit my skin the herby piney thing went away and was replaced by a sweet sugary smell, as soon as that dried down I actually did get a sweet floral scent. It probably was violets because that is the only floral that seems to gain in strength from the time I apply it. It started nice and mellow and grew to a big roaring floral sweet violet. So much so that mr. sirensong came in from gardening and asked me why I sprayed some room spray in the house. I don't have and don't use room sprays! I explained I was testing out a new scent and asked what he thought. He said "Its not you." I agree. For some reason, violets and me just don't agree. It would be lovely though if florals are your thing.


  7. When I put this on all I smell is ripe juicy sweet plums. After about a half an hour it tones down into a ripe plummy, grapy, fruity scent with a slight winey background. After a little more time I can finally smell the amaretto coming out. Its still sweet, but now its more well rounded and not so in your face fruity. I actually like this one. I am not a fruit or foody scent fan, but this is nice once it dries down. Its bright but not aggressive, quite nice.


  8. Seething with passion, yet utterly cold-blooded. Dragon's blood, vetivert and spice.


    In the imp's ear: smells bitter and sharply herbal almost like juniper.

    Wearing: Hmm, I am not particularly fond of herbal smells, it must be the vetivert (I have no idea what this is or what it smells like). Despite my preferences, I can see where the name came from, this smells green and slithery with somthing sort of warm sweet/spicy behind it (like a kiss :P ). Beyond that, its tough to describe this, I smell like a warmed herb that once crushed has a sweet spicy flavor. Not my cuppa tea, but I am sure others will adore it.

  9. A measure of randomness and chaos; the perfect distillate of decay, death, and dissolution. Blood red patchouli saturated with black poppy, civet and a hint of rose.


    In the imp's ear: this smelled gingery spicy with an herbal or earthy kick.

    Wet: I smell the rose and poppy strongly, but the patchouli kicks in pretty quickly.

    Dry: This is a really unusual scent. When I initially sniff my wrist there is something in it that makes me nervous. That kind of heart beating quickly nervous when you are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff you have to do or when you need to make order from pure chaos.

    From a distance the civet seems to be really strong, beyond strong, I keep wondering if I forgot my deodarant today. This is weird in that usually civet is just a slightly stronger musk smell on me. I don't know if its just because its my time of month (sorry if TMI), or if this civet is just strong enough to beat me upside my head with! Up close when I sniff my wrist the poppy is stronger than the rose with the patchouli acting as a base.

    I don't understand why I am not in love with this. I love each of its elements, and usually they work quite well with my chemistry. I love the name, in fact Mr. Sirensong's pet name for me is Entropy, because his life was well ordered until I entered the picture, and now everywhere I go and everything I do seems to entail a legacy of chaos (although that might also have something to do with my 3 y.o. kid!)

    Overall, I still love the rose/poppy/patchouli combo, but the civet is making me a little reticent to leave the house with this scent on. I am actually going to rub a washcloth over my wrist to try to tone it down before I go out. I am going to have to try this again later in the month and see if it still has that dirty sweaty thing to it or if it was just my chemistry right now. This is different and if you can wear civet, try an imp's ear of this, it could be quite haunting, or it could be just sorta dirty.

  10. Wet I was reminded of some european herbal flavored candy, can't think of what right now, but something I tried a while back. Dry, it was almondy before becoming a softly sweet-n-spicy kind of scent. Nice, and I am sure I will use up my imp, but I don't love it as much as some of the others.


  11. This is amazing! It is warm and sinuous with real strength to it (strength like backbone not strength like overpowering). I cannot break it apart into its component parts. It makes you feel confident and strong. I love it. I usually tend towards spicy scents yet this has nothing in it that is spicy but it still strikes that warm and unusual nonflowery scent that I adore!


  12. Wow, we are all over the spectrum here with this scent.

     

    I am closer to Antimony's review. To me this was a soft floral with the orange blossom providing a greenish note/tinge to the scent. It was a watery green floral. Like being by a lily pond with an orange tree and some other floral stuff on its banks. Nice in a subtle innocent way. This stayed very close to my body and was quite light and innocuous on me. Nice, but I don't love it as I do some of the other new scents. This looks to be a try it first scent as other reviews differ dramatically.


  13. In the vial I thought this was some floral (I'm not very familiar with violets) tamarind and spices. Close but no cigar, I thought it had tamarind in it because of that tart/sweet note.

     

    On it was a nice spicy floral. I agree it seemed to gain strength with time instead of mellow out. I only swiped the tester stick along both wrists and rubbed and I had to go over my wrists with a wet washcloth before my son's playgroup because I didn't want to blast anyone with my perfume. I liked it, but next time I will use more restraint when applying since I now know it will get stronger over time.


  14. This is my first experience with Dragon's Blood scents, and I am very favorably impressed. This was a beautiful warm floral scent. Its not an in your face floral or an over the top "hey everyone I'm wearing Perfume!" floral. Its warm, smooth and happens to be floral at its core. I am assuming the Dragon's Blood is what makes it so warm and smooth, I am used to musks or sandalwood providing that sort of note, but the Dragon's Blood does it equally well and adds its own distinct twist. I will say when this was in the vial I thought it was an innocuous light floral, when I applied it I was blasted with the scent but after about 10 minutes it dried down to a delicious scent. I like this and I look forward to trying more imps with Dragon's Blood in them.


  15. I have to agree, this is a lovely spicy warm musky scent. I am in love, its a smooth sensual musk with the lovely exotic spices that are similar to those in snake oil. This is pure bliss, and how I like to smell and conjuring up the mental image that I would like to project to the world, even though its night and day away from the me that most people see. This is going into heavy rotation, its really really nice.


  16. This is truly amazing, a bottled lightening storm! It has the electrified air smell that happens during one of those intense southern lightening and thunder storms. It even causes my chest to tighten which is the same physical reaction I have to those storms. While I appreciate and am astounded by the amazing evocative qualities of this scent, lightening storms always make me a little tense, therefore I won't be able to wear this often. I am passing this along to my hubby as I am willing to bet it will be wonderful on him, and he does not have the same tense reaction to a weather storm as I do.
