Initial Impression: very sweet (but I tend to amp sweet). Cake mixed with something savory.
On Wet: slightly off cake turning eventually to dirty socks. Ugh..
On Dry: cherries
Final Impression: Weird and interesting scent. The dirty socks stage nearly did me in. Unfortunately, I'm not always very fond of cherries, so I don't think I'll be getting this one.

On Dry: almost gone..
Final Impression: it was pretty while it lasted, but it didn't last long

A frimp with my last order...
Initial Impression: light floral mixed with fresh grass
On Wet: lilies, carnations, something sweet
On Dry: amping the sweet, carnations, some rose, lilies
Final Impression: very pretty, very Spring-like. Reminds me of a Victorian mourning jewelry: pretty, delicate, yet a bit morbid.
Rating (on a scale of 1-5): 3, I wish I liked florals more

I never would've picked this out at all, but a friend had it and had me try it..
Initial Impression: burning plastic
On Wet: more burning plastic
On Dry: grassy, sweet
Finally Impression: Wow! Who would've known? Horrible in the beginning, but really lovely in the end. It smelled like Spring grass.

A phenomenally powerful attractant. Sexual and commanding in the extreme.
Initial Impression: lightly herbal and citrus. Very clean smelling. Almost soapy, but in a good way.
On Wet: more lemon, maybe verbena?, less soapy but still very clean, very light
On Dry: spicier, pretty sure there's lemon verbena there..
Final Impression: works very well. Maybe a little too well. I attracted all sorts of people. Problem is that I tend to attract crazies. Forgot about that. Made people more talkative towards me as well.
Rating (on a scale of 1-5): 5, I'm a glutton for punishment

I have to say straight off that I'm addicted to voodoo oils whether they smell great or not. Luckily, this one does!
Initial Impression: lemon
On Wet: pound cake (lemon, almond, and vanilla)
On Dry: more almond and vanilla, less lemon. Still delicious!
Final Impression: Smells yummy! I wanted to nibble on myself. I don't know about feeling more powerful, but I did feel comforted. Maybe it was the association with pound cake?

Imp that I was lucky enough to test from fellow addict and coworker.
Initial Impression: lavender, very soft
On Wet: a very soft scent, really. Can barely smell anything. Watery, turning soapy.
On Dry: Ew. Soapy.
Final Impression: Unfortunately, it turned detergent on me.

Borrowed from a fellow addict and coworker. She was kind enough to let me test a bunch of imps.
Initial Impression: linen, floral (very blended, nothing stands out), softly sweet
On Wet: amping sweet (as I always do), stronger linen, smells like an old-fashion powder puff
On Dry: now the vanilla is coming out, the linen is softer, and the floral is making a reappearance
Final Impression: Very lovely! I get the antique lace from this.
Rating (on a scale of 1-5): 4, quite sure I'll be buying this in the future

Initial Impression: Light, feminine floral. Completely unexpected. I thought this would be more sultry.
On Wet: Slightly powdery floral. Normally, I don't like florals, but BPAL seems to make some florals I can tolerate and some that I even like. I actually kinda like this. It makes me feel...lady-like. Weird.
On Dry: Still floral, more powdery but nice. There's something about this that makes me feel a bit more flirty.
Final Impression: This was one odd little imp, but it certainly does its job! And it smells dainty and feminine while doing it too. I rather like this.

Brings peace to the spirit, a sense of calm and fulfillment, and attracts the aid of beneficial spirits.
As soon as I read the description for this, I knew I had to try it. I need all of the peace, calm, and beneficial aid I can get! I was just hoping it would smell pretty too.
Initial Impression: Straight from the imp this smells very light, watery or water-like, with a hint of flowers.
On Wet: It's a delicate floral over aquatics. It smells just like flowers floating on water. It has a very Ophelia feeling about it. Light, romantic. It also reminds me of those old fashioned hair tonics without the lavender.
On Dry: The aquatics fade and are replaced with a more powdery smell. The flowers are still there.
Final Impression: This is a very pretty, delicate scent. I don't usually go for that, but it did make me feel calm and relaxed even when I was running late for an appointment (I really hate being late and usually stress out a lot), so this is a definite keeper.
Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5): 3.5. 3 for the scent, 4 for what it does. -
Named after the primordial ocean of milk where Lord Vishnu reclines upon the thousand-headed Naga. Sweet milk and warm, healing ginger with a touch of golden honey and our blend of Ambrosia.
Came back to revise this after trying this scent once more after a long absence.
Initial Impression: I immediately smell ginger and a creamy, almost coconut-y smell
On Wet: ginger, cream, hint of spice. I'm told I smell like cinnamon and sugar after straight off after putting some on. Later I'm told I smell like ginger ale.
On Dry: This turns almost completely milky on me with just a hint of ginger and spice in the background. I almost swear I smell shea in this.
Final Impression: A light throw, but so very lovely. I'd forgotten how beautiful it was.

After looking at the description, I wondered if this might be one of those amazingly complex scents that keeps changing every five seconds. I also worried about the amount of florals in it. (Retried recently and modified rating and review)
Initial Impression: This smells very soft to me. A very light floral. Strong aquatic notes.
On Wet: It's turned brighter and sweeter. Still quite floral, but not heavily so. I smell the lime and the barest hint of musk coming out. Slight antiseptic smell.
On Dry: More lime and coconut now. Amping the musk and a hint of citrus. Something smells vaguely antiseptic. Coconut is gone.
Final Impression: Unfortunately, this turned a bit antiseptic on me otherwise this would have been a pretty and unusual scent. But I prefer Embalming Fluid if I want musk and citrus.

Initial Impression: twisted floral, spicy
On Wet: spicy, gardenia?, something creamy, hint of smoke
On Dry: jasmine? (smells like jasmine, I usually amp that), sharp smokiness (giving me a headache), hint of cream and spice
Final Impression: very interesting scent, but the smoke took over a bit and gave me a headache
