I was really excited by the notes on this one, but I'm starting to think that white musks just don't work for me. It's a nice delicate, sweet scent, but it's bordering on the territory of laundry detergent. Well, it is laundry detergent while wet on my skin, once it's had time to dry it smells sweeter, but it doesn't last long on my skin after that.

Incense dominates the scent on my skin, although not as unpleasantly as in some perfumes. There's a hint of the sweetness of sugar cookies behind it that softens the incense. 

Wet, this was incredibly coconut on me, with a hint of rum, making me smell like a delicious tropical cocktail. It didn't change much on the dry-down except the coconut mellowed out so a little more of the rum could be smelled. I can't get a single hint of blueberry or cake from it... It's not bad, but certainly unexpected.

2017 bottle and it's delicious. It's sweet red boozy musk. It starts off with an overwhelming throw but settles fairly quickly. It doesn't smell like red wine and dark chocolate, but it sure brings the image to mind of lounging and enjoying those two delights. I'm absolutely in love!

A nice leather in the bottle, with a hint of cocoa. Once it dries on my skin its all leather and rather cologne-like. I adore coffee scents, so I'm a bit sad for it.

Starts out a very nice citrus with a floral note. The citrus is gone from my skin once it's dried, and then I'm just hit with strong freesia that smells a lot like an air freshener my mom used to use; not bad, but not the kind of association I'm going for with perfumes.

This is a sharp violet in the imp and when first applied. As it dries, the gardenia gets stronger but then it starts to smell like baby wipes?? After a couple hours that goes away and it smells like warm vanilla with a floral tone, but at that point it has no throw (but its still so nice to sniff my wrist).

In the imp this smells resinous and sweet and it didn't change much on my skin at first. Over hours, it softened to a really creamy honey-vanilla that smells both delicious and comforting, leaving me sniffing my wrists all day. And that's another thing I love about this oil, it's one of the longest lasting I've yet to try. The throw isn't very strong at any point, but I applied it in the early morning and it's evening now and I can still makes out the notes against my skin.

In the imp I was hit with a strong whiff of cedarwood with a hit of clove. On my skin the clove starts to amp but after a while the florals start to come out. In the end, it has a nice throw but it's more clove-wood than I desired and the sweetness is a note I only get if I get in for an up-close sniff.

This is the first rose that doesn't go completely powder on me. It's a very strong floral at first, then as it dries it starts to go powdery but the patchouli comes out and counteracts it. I didn't really get any vanilla, but I'm happy to have found a rose scent that isn't just baby powder on me.

In the imp, the honey is strong and sweet, but the second it hits my skin I get that lemon-y Froot Loops smell. It's got a strong throw at first, too. By the time it mellows out enough to really smell the honey, it's nearly disappeared into my skin. Unfortunate, because it was the promise of honey that I was excited about for this scent. I do like it, it's just not what I was hoping for.

In the imp it smells very lemon and a touch floral. When I first apply it, it turns straight to dish soap or some similar cleaning product scent. After a while the cleaning product scent calms and the scent becomes nice and fruity, with just a touch of that cleaning product still there... The sweet fruity scent is so nice but I'm not sure about partially smelling like I've spilt soap on me.

I wasn't sure how a scent could be "furry" but on first sniff it really does make me think of a warm cat. The cardamom and cedar notes are strongest to me, warm and woodsy. On my skin it doesn't change much from in the bottle. It's very close to the skin on me. A nice, warm and comforting scent for sure, I just wish it had a little more throw.

Wet and dry, on my skin cardamom is the strongest note, with amber and cacao adding warmth. It smells golden and confident. Unfortunately, the throw is weak, and the scent doesn't last long on me. I've tested it twice now and both times after hours I can barely get a hint of it left.

This is lovely in the imp, light and sweet and perfumey. On my skin, it's an absolute dream. I see everyone describing it as ethereal and it really is. The vanilla is a cozy undertone to soft florals and a sort of creaminess? It doesn't have much throw on me but the longevity is fantastic and just... the smell is so dreamy! I just want to sit in a cloud of it, it's so nice.

In the decant I got leather and parchment right away and it smelled warm but very cologne-y. Wet on my skin, the leather amps with a strong throw. As it dries, more of the woodsy parchment and warmth comes out, but at this point it's very close to the skin. If that drydown scent just had more of a throw then this would easily be a favorite.

In the decant, the jasmine was really strong, it's floral and green. Unfortunately, the second it touches my skin is smells of laundry detergent and while with time the strength of it settles, the scent doesn't change at all.

In the imp and while well it smells very chocolate and warm. After a bit of dry-down n it remains chocolate but takes on a nutty tone almost like nutella. It's not really a foody scent though, especially after a few hours when softens out.

Like others have said, in the imp it smelled exactly like honeydew melon, perfectly ripe and juicy and honestly pretty mouth-watering. Wet on my skin it smells just a touch more perfumey but mostly the same. Once it dried down it remained sweet and fruity, but was much softer and stayed close to the skin.

It was really hard to smell anything in the imp other than a faint sweet note. I love vanilla so I was really excited about this scent, unfortunately on my skin it becomes overwhelmingly nutmeg and remains strong. I ended up having to scrub it off because I couldn't handle it.

Had a lot of hope for this one, as it smells so nice in the bottle. The tobacco is just so strong on me, though. The red musk and a hint of the cacao comes through, but that tobacco... the scent has a really good staying power! Which would be lovely if I enjoyed the scent more.

In the imp, I got hit immediately with cream cheese glaze, overpoweringly sweet in the best way. It's got a good throw and quite the staying power and a little goes a long way on me; usually it's the opposite, so I might have overdone it, and now I'm sitting in a delicious cloud of cake, with almond and cream cheese frosting. It calmed a bit with time, but I still get good wafts of it. I also get a bit of the maple syrup, although it's lighter than a real maple syrup.

Bought an imp decant of this on a whim and I really like it. I don't get much of the vanilla other than a soft creaminess but the frankincense and rose blend together beautifully. So far it has good staying power too and occasionally I'll just get a waft of the rose and it's very elegant, as PrinceofcatS put it.

In the bottle it's very rosy and wet I get the Lush "Rose Jam" comparison. Haven't gotten any cotton candy sweetness from it at any point and it stays very close to the skin on me. It's a little soapy, though not in a necessarily bad way. I'm happy with just an imp of it and we'll see if it grows on me or not.

Received this as a frimp a while ago and I still remain tossed on my opinion of it. In the imp it has a salty tone to it that makes me think of the ocean but it's very clean, too. On my skin, from wet to hours dry it just smells like a dryer sheet; not a bad scent, but not at all what I was hoping for, either.
