what a wonderful representation of the artwork. I smell the incense and the fire in the air, as well as the sun coming in through the window. It is a really beautiful deep scent. I have an imp now but would love to get a big bottle.
-
ummm... no.
It smells way to medicinal on me, like I pulled a muscle or something, even the dry down and waiting isn't making it any better.
-
I have one (thankfully full) l decant of this, how I wish it were more. There is an animalistic feel to this like warm clean fur on a cool evening. I really smell the evening air, I wasn’t expecting that. I wish I didn’t love this as much as I do, or that I was buying bpal when this came out.
also I should note that I spent way too much for this (don't ebay while drunk
) but I don't care anymore because I love it soooo much. -
Oh that's what everyone was talking about. I don't even have words for how good this smells on me. The chocolate is sweet without being too sweet and the snake oil is just beautiful in this. I need a bottle or two right now!
-
It is too masculine for me, though I think it will smell really good on the boy. I am getting much more than a whiff of the greek incense, and just a bit of rose. I think my skin must eat up sandalwood because I can hardly smell it at all once it dries. So the boyfriend gets this imp.
-
the sandalwood is very faint, I am smelling the grasses and the flowers the most. I really liked it when I first put it on because the sandalwood was stronger, it has faded and gone mostly soapy on me. oh well they can't all work on me.
-
nope, not for me. It smells so manly! it reminds me of a man's bathroom right after he took a shower and brushed his teeth. I feel like I can even smell the steam.

There is a sultry aspect to this that I was not expecting, but I am quite happy to have found. The pink pepper is spicy with the sweet of the honeysuckle and passion flower it is so balanced, this is going to the top of my wish list.

It is very green in scent, like the stems of flowers. Okay here it is- its like violet stems in water, or may be like green violets. I think that an imp of this is enough for me.
-
Love it! Its it really fresh clean floral. A bit like a sweet pea, sweet and summery. This is going on my wishlist.
-
The first note to hit my nose was the moss and as soon as I put it on I thought of men’s cologne, but then it dried down and everything changed. It’s woodsy but not foresty, if that makes any sense. I am liking it more and more with every smell, which I can’t stop doing. Do I want a full bottle, maybe, I will have to see how fast it takes me to use the imp.

It is a very bright and sunny smell, very clean. I get a bit of dryer sheet smell, but a really nice dryer sheet. I guess I really like the clean ones because this one is going on my wishlist.
-
Love it, I love the smell of sweet peas and I can smell them strongly in this. I am so happy to have found a bottle. I can't stop smelling myself.
-
I feel like I smell black coconut, but I don’t see that listed, maybe it’s the black palm. Unfortunately I am getting a bit of pencil shaving smell from the wooded notes. It smells divine in the imp. I like this one more than it likes me.
-
... Thick black currant with the darkest, deepest myrrh, a drop of bitter mimosa and the slightest touch of mandrake dust.
I am only getting dusty myrrh, it isn’t working for me at all. It makes me sneeze, I feel like I am in a very dusty attic, not good at all. I really wanted to like it!
-
The apple is very strong on me, maybe too strong. I can’t actually smell anything else. It is a nice orchard apple smell, but I wanted a little more from it.

OMG, this love. When I first got the imp many months ago I wasn’t that impressed but that has all changed. I mostly get the snake oil and apple with touches of orange and lemon, I can tell that the plumeria and gardenia are there but they are in the background. I will need to get a bottle of this before it goes away.
-
I don’t know, it seems like the flowers are fighting the snake oil. I am not loving this one. I will keep my decant for now and try again, but it isn’t going on my wish list.
-
I so wanted to love this one, it just didn’t happen. Something in it is turning all chemically on me, its not good at all. Oh well.
ADDED 6/7/08:
I can smell the frankincense, and maybe the copal and orris, but I don’t know what they smell like so it is hard for me to pick them out. It seems like the snake oil is farther in the background of this snake pit. It feels a bit heavy for me, maybe a night time only scent.
-
That is a martini alright a good junipery (is that a word?) gin martini, I love it. I think I could get drunk of the smell of it
It is so clean and fresh with out being sweet. My wish list is starting to get quite long, this one is most definitely going on it. -
Like smut is sex in a bottle this is lust in a bottle. I am getting a lot of musk and only a little patchouli. It is a dark, sexy and hot scent. I like it quite a bit, I don’t think I would wear it to work, but would be great for a night out. Another one for my wish list.
-
My first thought when I put it on was an evening on a beach with a fire going, after spending the day in the sun. There is a slight sun tan lotion smell that is mellowed my the smoky note, which I am assuming is the opoponax. I must like it as I can’t keep my nose of my wrist for long. It is a bit on the masculine side, but that doesn’t bother me at all, this will be going on my wish list.

mmmm…coconut. Vetiver doesn’t always work on me but it is in this one. The added vanilla makes the snake oil come out much more that the other snake pits. It is pretty yummy.

It is a very faint scent, with the rose coming out the most. It is a soft rose, everything in this blend is soft and bare. I like it and I will definitely use the imp up but I don't think I will need a bottle.
