    Deimos

    In the imp: Fruity-very nice! First application: Musky with sweet orange undertones After an hour it dried down even more beautiful than initially. It is a sweet musky orange scent that is very deeply aromatic and smooth. Several hours later, just gorgeous! I would definitely purchase a larger bottle.

    I smell wine and a little floral, no leather at all. A nice scent-not heavy. It has lasted all day and the dry down is quite lovely. A must have for sure!

    Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo

    I received this with my order and I certainly liked the name! I didn't read the description first-just smelled and then tried it on. The smell in the imp was pleasant-fruity and spicy at the same time. I applied a little and my husband to tell me what he thought. He said, "Wow fruity, I love it", in a LOUD voice. I was a little surprised. I had never gotten that reaction before. I then read the reviews of others and told him it was suppose to be a 'happy' scent. He replied that it certainly made him happy and we should purchase a bottle. I really like the combinations in this one although it is spicy on me, which I do love.

    Scherezade

    I love spicy scents and this one meets my needs! Its soft and sexy with just the right amount of musky notes that blend well with the saffron and spices. I found that it did take about 45 minutes to get the full effect-the first wet application was nothing like the dry down. I did experience what others are saying-it seems to disappear then reappear into a lovelier, sensual fragrance.

    Vice

    It smelled good in the bottle but smells even better on. I really don't smell cherries at all but rather chocolate and oranges. Have you ever gone to Godiva and purchased the chocolate dipped candied orange peel? Its bitter and sweet and orangy all at the same time? Thats what VICE reminds me of. Its yummy-just what I like

    Black Annis

    I didn't read the reviews or the complete write up before trying this on. I didn't want anything to sway my opinion one way or the other. I received an imp of this and with the first whiff my thought was-smoky, a little licorice. Not bad. I carried it around trying to decide if I wanted to dab it on because while I like red licorice, I really don't like black licorice. Not the smell, not the taste, not when the kids eat it. Forget about the husband. He might as well plan to sleep in the other room! So, After getting used to it , I went ahead and tried it. It reminds me of my childhood when I explored the different caves in Minnesota. I could smell the dirty leaves and spongy moss. Or that earthy smell when you kick up the bottom of a slow moving stream. Not altogether bad, just a jumble of Nature with licorice thrown in. I have been wearing it for a few hours now. I only put a slight a slight amount but can still smell it. Maybe that is the secret. Just like in Nature, a little is great for the senses but too much can be overwhelming. Would I purchase a 5ml bottle? I think the imp would last a very loooooong time. It is an intriguing scent that I would wear out to an elegant dinner.

    Fire Pig

    This reminds me of Fruit loops cereal-very intoxicating! Perfect for the spring and summer! The peach is light and fresh-a must have fragrance!

    Enraged Groundhog Musk

    In the bottle I smell creamy vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon-very delicious . Spicy scents are my favorite. After wearing it for an hour or so, it dried into a very soft, creamy, velvet like cake. I feel really feminine and smell good enough to eat!

    Beaver Moon 2005

    When I first took a whiff of this I was a little disappointed-it smelled cloyingly sweet, not usually what I wear. I tried it anyway. After about half an hour it dried down into a light vanilla scent, accented with a bit of chocolate and a touch of cinnamon to make it interesting. And it is just last-a very intriguing scent that is not overpowering that will not enter a room before I do.

    Bloodlust

    I love it because it is red in color, has Dragon's Blood base, musk, and cinnamon in it. When I first put it on it was kind of green smelling on me but when it blended with my body chemistry, it just took off. I really would purchase a bottle of this! This goes to the top of the list!

    Jacob's Ladder

    I purchased this because of the reviews and because of the amber which is always a favorite of mine. When I first opened the bottle I was expecting a very strong scent but was surprised when it was a very faint amber, musk, honey, vanilla and maybe citrus? After 45 minutes or so it blended quite nicely with my body chemistry and warmed up so the amber and musk were more predominate and the citrus disappeared altogether. It really lasted all day and the only thing I regret is that I didn't order 2 bottles .

    Dragon's Milk

    A truly fae nectar! Dragon’s blood resin and honeyed vanilla. I love all the Dragon blends . This is honey and a faint fruit and musk in the bottle. When I apply it to my skin it is gorgeous! There is no cherry floral at all, just a mysteriously warm tingly feeling. My husband loves it and I get compliments all the time . This scent lasts all day too!

    O

    I love this scent! Honey, vanilla, amber and musk-what could be better? It was so soothing on my wrists so I dabbed it behind my ears. As it warms up to body temperature it gets even better. I put this on before a very long car drive and it was so nice to smells this instead of car exhaust! It lasted all through the 6 hour drive. I must admit that I purchased this just on the reviews of others and I'm glad I did.

    The Ecstasy of Infatuation

    This is a very citrus-floral scent that I was not impressed with. I really like oriental spice better. It was not my first choice but I wanted to give it a try. It does not last very long on me-maybe an hour or so then I have to reapply. When it dries down I can smell the champagne citrusy floral scent that would perhaps be better worn in the summer.

    Svadhinaopatika

    In the bottle on first whiff, I smelled...cough syrup. A little disconcerting. Okay, I will still give it a try. It has got to be me and my sinuses. I love anything with honey so this has to work. After applying it on my wrist I can smell the amber and currant. After about 15 minutes it started to blend quite nicely! Then I started to drive my husband nuts with,"how does it smell now"?. After an hour I loved it! I just have to learn to be patient I guess. I know now that if I want to smell good at a specific time, I remember to apply this one an hour before.

    Lilith

    I didn't think I would like this because it has rose in it. For some reason I associate anything rose with my aunt. I was pleasantly surprised with Lilith. It smells like wine with musk and a little rose. On my wrist I can't smell the rose at all. I applied this at 10:00 this morning and I can still smell this at 6:00 tonight! I normally wear spicy scents but this is not bad for a floral.

    Bess

    Very nice! This is a light, fresh citrus blend that just wafts around my skin. The lemon is so crisp and bright and never once starts to turn medicinal. It stays lovely and fruity. The grape is delicious too! I don't notice the mint as much, but there is a sweet and mellow herbal quality that keeps me sniffing my wrists for awhile. I wan't certain that I would like rosemary but it is vibrant in this blend. I may get a full size of this because I'm really enjoying it! For a citrus fragrance it really has lasted quite some time on my skin too. What a refreshing pick!

    Depraved

    The apricot smells very fresh and warm and really is a nice compliment to the patchouli. I thought that the patchouli would be overpowering but it's very low key in this. Very warm and fruity, but mild and earthy too. Even after the apricot fades the patchouli doesn't bother me as I thought it might. I have an imp of this and I'm really enjoying it. I'll probably get even more use out of this in the summer months as a beautiful pick me up.

    Tweedledee

    I received this as an imp and was prepared to love it. Unfortunately, it does not love me. In the imp, it smells very fruity-citrusy, but turns immediately bitter on my skin. It does seem to last quite a long time too. Perhaps if you layer this with another sweeter scent, it would work fine.

    Drink Me

    In the bottle this is a very heavy, warm scent that smells like butterscotch and almonds. On me this is very foody and perfect for winter. It is like a warm butterscotch upside down cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. Simply delicious and a must have for my collection!

    Eat Me

    This smells simply delicious-like vanilla cream frosting and lightly of berries. I would like to carry the bottle around and sniff it all day! After applying it, it drys down to creamy butter with a little bit of nut underneath with the berries disappearing altogether. A must have for me!

    Hemlock

    I received this as a frimp. In the bottle it smalls beautiful, herbal and lemony. I couldn't wait to try it. Unfortunately, this just does not go well with my body chemistry. After about half an hour, it smells like dirty garbage on me. The good news is, I have 14 more to try!

    Dragon's Reverie

    My favorite collection is the Ars Dragonis because every one I have tried has smelled great on me. Everywhere I go people are complimenting me on how nice I smell when wearing one of the Dragon blends. It lasts all day too. I love amber-it is one of my favorite notes. You can smell that right away with this one. The poppy and ylang-ylang combined with the amber are musky and soft and dreamy on me. After half an hour, it gets even better. After trying just three out of this series, I think I must have them all!

    Black Pearl

    This was one of the first 5ml I purchased. I love all the scents combined, the coconut is very subtle while the hazelnut and musk blend very well together. I like spicy scents, not floral, so this was perfect for me. I tried a 6 pack of imps and this was my husband's favorite.

    Snake Oil

    I received this as a gift imp and liked the spiciness of it. I could smell the vanilla, which I normally don't like, but was pleasantly surprised when I applied this. It lasted all day and my husband really liked it too! He told me to "go place an order" for a few things (who am I to turn down such an invitation?). A hundred dollars later .......
