    Ace of Swords

    In the bottle, this is very white sandlewood smelling, a deep woodsy burning scent that I just love. But, once again, my body chemistry takes it to a whole new level. On me it is very candy smelling, reminding me of a purfume that I had as a child. Its very lemondrop smelling, a nice yummy scent. My friend says that it is the Verbena talking, but I'm not certain. I just love the lemon jolly rancher smell. Mmmm. As it dries though, it becomes a Lemon Pledge smell. I still like the lemon smell, but there's an edge of pine in the scent as well. I always did like that smell, so it works just as well.

    Unseelie

    In the bottle, Unseelie smells like a dryer sheet. No kidding. When I first smelled it it reminded me of Snuggle dryer sheets. I hope that it wasn't just me feeling guilty for not doing the laundry:) I hope to god my hubby never finds this scent. On me it still maintains that dryer scent. Nice, clean, maybe a little green smelling, like juniper or sage? Its nice, not anything that really jumps out at me or anything. To tell you the truth, as most dryer sheets have something in them that make me gag after awhile, I think I might water this down and spray it on my bed sheets or something. It has a nice airy scent that might do very well with that. After a while though it just becomes nice, yummy babypowder. I don't know why I love babypowder scents on me so much;) The babypowder saves this imp totally!

    Tiger Lily

    From the bottle it is a very warm scent, honey and light touch of lilies. Yum. The honey is very prevalent in it too, which I have learned recently is a very favorite scent of mine. Strange how you never pay attention to these things before you started slathering oils on yourself, isn't it;) On me, the honey is definately there, but it is much sweeter than it was in the bottle. Plus there is a different kind of floral here as well, like a rose aftersmell. That's wierd. But this is what I've come to expect from my body chemistry. Wierd. The lilies are still there but more in the background. The warm glow of a smell has gone and instead there is a a crisper scent that lingers in my nostrils. Even with the changes though, its simply beautiful. Another feminine floral that I'm surprised that I like, which is a little similar to Ophelia on me.

    Ophelia

    I recieved this imp in a swap and was very HAPPY about it! In the bottle it is very heavily floral, which I was surprised that I liked it because of that. It smells like roses and lilies, things that one would through on a grave. Being one who really doesn't like rose scents, I was surprised that I liked this as much as I did. This totally reminds me of a painting that I have on my wall of the Lady of Shalot, with petals floating past her boat in the water. On me, this is one of those few scents that actually true to thier bottled scent. The rose smell actually comes out quite intensely and then begins a soft lingering sensation. Paired with the lily scent, it is extremely light and feminine, which is also something that I'm surprised that I like. The imp that I have doesn't have much left in it from a spiteful attack on minx's eye (bad imp!), but I have a feeling that I will be buying a larger bottle of this very soon.

    Iago

    *Sighs* Another scent that I really wanted to smell in the way that the description said, but didn't come out for me on my skin again. I'll have to try it on my husband to see if it smells good on him. I'll have to post again if it does. In the bottle....mmmm leather. Lovely, lovely leather. And there's also a musky rain scent there as well, I guess like a hot, steamy night here in Florida while wearing my leather jacket. To me, it just screams of romance and steamy nights with the lights low and the sounds of thunder in the distance. On me, warm, fruity babypowder. Its a honeyed babypowder scent, not spicy like Bruja, with just a hint of pear in the background. How did THAT happen?? Leather does not equal PEARS! But its still a yummy smell that my husband really likes on me, so I guess I can be happy with what I got! *UpDate* Ohmigod! Its dead on for the hubby and...ooOoOoooh! Le Purrrrr!

    Eve

    All I can say about this imp is "Finally! A scent that is close to what its supposed to be on my skin!" In the bottle, Eve is red apple and honey, a nice fresh scent that reminds me of Washington Red apples for some odd reason. The honey sweetens the scent a little as well as lightens it, getting rid of the crisp aftersmell of apples. On application however, the scent is very distinctly green apples with a hint of the blossom as well. The honey is gone and the tart scent of the green apple is just heavenly! As it begins to fade, more of the honey smell and the blossom come out, leaving the apple in the background, but never gone. There is also something else there, something that kinda reminds me of sweet grass, or maybe even the leaves and stems from the apple tree. It gives such a beautiful overall scent that it just makes you fall in love! Thanks for finally having a scent that is close to the description on my skin! I was beginning to wonder if I would ever find one Of course, that means that I'm going to have to try all of the scents in order to find ones that I like, since I never know how its going to smell on me when I put it on!

    Fae

    Fae was one of those that I wanted to try becuase I LOVE the smell of Peaches. I wish that my body chemistry wasn't so screwy. On first application, Fae smelled like black licorice. I like the smell, but hate the taste, so it wasn't so bad. 15 minutes later, Fae smelled oddly of lilies and vanilla. It was a nice combination, but I was extremely surprised that it changed so quickly. I was still hoping for the peach smell, though. About an hour after that, it changed again, this time to a honeyed, sugary scent with just a hint of lemon. Wierd. Still no peaches, and I couldn't believe it was changing so much! And the last time it changes, which was about a half an hour later, it was an oddly *green* smell. Like new leaves, a nice spring smell. Gorgeous. But, still no peaches, and it didn't take long at all for another application to be needed. The name totally says it all, as I always thought that Faeries were chaotic:)

    Delirium

    My body chemistry must be very off as this oil smells totally different on me that it smells in the bottle and on everyone else. But, because of that, this has become my FAVORITE oil! On me it smells like waxflower. For those of you that might not know what that is, wax flower is a small, purplish pink flower that florists sometimes use as filler, like Baby's breath. It smells more clean and soapy than anything else, and in large quantites it smells rather faint, as opposed to Baby's Breath which smells like a landfill in large doses. As the oil dries, it starts having this nice, crisp linen smell, much like a Bounce dryer sheet with that waxflower/soapy smell still lingering in the background. And boy does it linger! I put it on at 9am, and around 9pm it was still going strong! And that was without a reapplication and me washing my hands periodically through the day. In fact, I can still smell it on my dirty clothes. I have just GOT to get this in a bigger bottle!

    Blood

    This scent is just candy:) I can't get enough of it. It reminds me of cherry lolipops. My daughter simply adores this on me, and tends to sniff my wrists obsessively. My friend's cat even spent a good 5 minutes licking my wrists when I wore this over at her house! Another beautiful scent that just lingers for a really long time. I love it!

    Anne Bonny

    This is another scent that I just love. It is a high peppery scent on me that reminds me of Black Pepper and Salt Spray, with a light cedary scent as well. Very woodsy and spicy and I tend to wear it with a leather jacket. This is one of those scents that I have to wonder if it smells as good on my husband as it does on me!

    Bruja

    This scent just drives my husband wild. On me it smells of baby powder with a hint of allspice to it for just a little kick. Its a heavy baby powder scent as well, that seems a little overpowering to me at first, but then dries a little lighter, but not much. My husband, on the other hand, adores this scent and it has quickly became his favorite.

    Blood Lotus

    This has simply got to be the most sexual thing I have ever smelled! It is like candy at first, cherry sweet, maybe a mixture of berries, but then it begins to glow on my skin like a red hot intense musk that really cannot be denied! It is a scent that envelops me, surrounds me with heat and energy and just makes my pulse quicken. I love this scent as the Lotus seems to counteract the sweetness, since Blood smells just like Cherries on me. This has a definate musky scent to it that just makes my head reel! Love it, love it, love it!

    Kali

    This scent for me was just decadent. It was a sugar sweetness that was simply airy and light. Once it dries the honey smell comes through more than anything else with a hint of almonds in the background. It is just simply sugary sweet and light, like the lightest of honey lit up by the sun.

    Dragon's Milk

    I am SO much in love with this scent. Upon first application it has a thick cherry scent to me that reminds me of Blood and Blood Lotus. As it dries however, the vanilla scent just glows through, blending beautifully. This is certainly one of my YUM scents, as my husband simply LOVES the vanilla scent on me, but this one isn't as darkly sexual as Blood Lotus is with the cherry scent. This is definatly one that I will buy a bigger bottle with. I got this in a swap after I had already bought the imp, so I get to share an imp with my friends.[

    Arcana

    I love lavendar, which probably why I love this scent so much. This reminds me of a very innocent smell, and is something that my daughter says smells like little girls playing with tea parties. This is something that I have worn when I want to feel innocent and free, and reminds me of rolling in grassy hills with a picnic nearby.

    Black Lotus

    Upon first sniff I was hooked! It reminded me of something dark and sinister, like incense floating through the air so thickly that the room is smoky with it. On me, it was deeply spicy and erotic with a dark and sinister vein that just makes this one of my absolute favorites.

    Allegory

    In the bottle this was a crisp floral that just happened to reel the senses. I was thinking of walking through a floral store's cooler. On me however, the smell only intensified until I had such a horrible headache that I had to wash it off. It was still that heady floral scent, but it was so strong that I couldn't stand it. Oh well...its been the only one that I've found so far that I didn't like.
