Another winner for me I'm thrilled that I've found a nice GC scent for when Pumpkin #3 runs out. in the bottle: Holy pumpkin pie, Batman! Smells delicious and my desk area smells pumpkiny for hours after sniffing! wet: really strong pumpkin and spices, smells amazing, but I may have put too much on for this scent drydown: the strength mellows out and the spices come through nicely This one is still strong 5 hours later and decent throw. My bf gives it thumbs up too, which is rare since he doesn't like much in the way of perfume. I may end up buying a big bottle of this one. Foodie smells seem custom tailored to my body chemistry, much to my pleasure .

This is a keeper for sure. I tried it on a fairly cold day with a touch of wind and it suited my mood nicely. in the bottle: sharp, very masculine, I was fairly skeptical at first wet: still sharp, but more soft than before, crisp and smoky drydown: the sharpness faded and left a woodsmoke and musk scent behind, reminded me of a wood stove and leaves. Lovely. It was strong for about 4 hours and 5 hours later I can still smell woodsmoke on my wrist. I love this, and wish I had a larger bottle. A big bottle of this might go on my wishlist unless I can find something similar in the GC...

A paradoxical scent experiment! - tangerine, sugared lime, pink grapefruit, oakmoss, lavender, zdravetz, and chocolate peppermint. I'm hoping that this one gets better with time. I was really excited about it and I'm hoping it's my body chemistry today or something. in the bottle: sweet, sour, citrusy, nothing like anything else I've smelled before wet: still sweet, a little citrusy, but kind of soapy. drydown: uh-oh, really soapy and still sweet but almost sickeningly so the scent is still going strong 5 hours later and all I can smell is soap. I'm going to give this another shot in a couple days and try it in my oil burner to see if it works there. I love fruity and sweet scents, so hopefully this one works out when I'm less hormone-y.

Got this one in a swap, and I have to say, it might be a new favorite, but it needs another test. in the bottle: smells delicious! Creamy vanilla and sweet pear . wet: Yummy! Sweet, vanilla-y and delicious. drydown: Still sweet, but the pear fades away a little. The vanilla stays strong and lasts for about 6 hours. The vanilla turns a little fake smelling around hour 5 though. Will test again in a few days and see how the scent holds up then.

Got this in a swap as a frimp and I LOVE it! wet: smells like hot cocoa and cinnamon, yummy drydown: still hot cocoa, but I can smell the coffee coming through now too. It's been about 5 hours and it's still going strong. I'll be sad to see this run out, hopefully I can find a replacement from the GC! EDITED TO ADD: After much testing of chocolate scents, this is the only one that has ever worked for me. I ended up getting a couple of imps in a 5ml when it was rereleased in 2009. I love it to pieces and it lasts all day. OMNOMNOM.

I was very disappointed in this one. I love love love cherry and I was very excited about Red Queen when I opened the imp. Within seconds of applying all I got was woods. Not rich woodsy woods, sawdusty woods. I may try it again when I'm not sick to see if that helps, or mix it with something to take the edge off. But very sad about the cherry.

I was really disappointed when I wore this one. Wet it smelled very strongly of apricots and was very juicy. About ten minutes later I smelled like potpourri. I smelled like potpourri for a long time. Excellent wear-time on this, but I kept hoping it would go away. After about 5 hours it got softer and less old-lady, but not soft enough for me. I love apricots and cloves, but this is going on the swap pile. I was very exited about it too.
