Maybe I am smelling something different from everyone else, because once this is on my skin I really can't smell strawberry cake. This is amazing in the imp, sweet and cakey, and as soon as it gets onto my skin it morphs into something like a dirty vanilla lavender that vaguely has a cake scent. There is that dirty undercurrent that I cannot place. In all, I am pretty disappointed, because the scent in the imp smells so amazing.
