    Another frimp from the lab!

     

    In the imp: Ooh! It smells just like christmas trees! *Goes to check bpal description* Wait, what do you mean there's no pine in this?

     

    On my skin: It smells just like my juniper body spray from Bath and Body works...none of the florals ever show up on my skin.

     

    Its nice, but I already have a body spray just like this for when i want to smell like juniper.

    In the Imp: Ooooh...Cinnamon, with an evil core to it. I think that's the myrrh.

     

    Wet on skin: More myrrh, but there's still that sweet spiciness that makes me think cinnamon.

     

    Dry on skin: all I can think is EVIL CINNAMON all the way through. And it gives me a headache.

     

    No buying big bottle for this one. Thank god it was a sample!imp.

    I got my bottle yesterday, and 25 hours later I've driven everyone nuts by going "Smell me! I SMELL AMAZING!" repeatedly. :P I'm thinking Dragon's blood does good things for me.

     

    In the bottle: I open the bottle, take one sniff and :D So THIS is what Dragon's blood smells like, because I wasn't getting a lot of leather or smoke straight out of it.

     

    Test dab on hand: Hey, THERE"S the leather and smoke!

     

    Full body douse: Yup, there's leather... and the cherry-ish dark smell of the DB...and the smoke is drifting in and out of there.

     

    Fifteen minutes later: Where's that soap-y smell coming from? *Sniff* Oh my, it's my arm.

     

    Thirty minutes later: Soap smell has left, leaving it's final iteration- Cherry-ish dark leather.

     

    ten hours later: What is that that still smells so amazing? MEEE!

     

     

    After my bad experience with 2/5/7, I almost gave up on buying BPALs that only sounded good without a test imp, but Dragon's hide has restored my faith! :D :) ;)

     

    (Have I mentioned that I smell AMAZING?)

    In the bottle:...Slightly odd, all I can think is...Lemony-roses, maybe?

     

    On my skin: Well, there go the roses. :D All I can smell is sour lemongrass.

     

    The drydown: I was hoping and praying that the roses were going to come back....The scent never changed.

     

    This isn't fair! I wanted me some roses! :P

     

    Edit Sept. 25: After about...two months, the roses have decided to come out and play! It's still not my ideal rose scent, but now at least they're there.

    Wet: Hey, I just fell into the juniper bush outside my house! But...crayola-y, somehow. It smells waxy for the first few minutes.

     

    Dry: Very sweet-powder-y...I like.

     

    Not a bad choice for an impulsive full-size purchase. The only downside is it fades WAY too fast on me. I need to douse myself in it for it to last longer than the walk out the door.

     

    Update: The crayola note no longer shows up! Now it's just sweetened Juniper to that nice powdery scent...This is AWESOME! I heart my body chemistry!
