right off the bat, this is pretty sweetly smokey. I second everyone describing the mango more as dried mango slices than the red mango pulp that the description says. the florals definitely come through as well and it all comes together as a powdery, sweet incense smokey slightly fruity experience. although not the juicy mango I was expecting, it's elegant and mature and very pretty.

Rose Petals, Marshmallows, and Afterglow Hair Gloss
asoursweetsixteen replied to Jenjin's topic in Hair
oh gosh the 'afterglow' is relentless. it smells sweaty and salty (but different to fancy pup's sweat !) and kind of beachy? it smells a tad like sunscreen. for a while I can't make out anything but the afterglow which is not ideal to be in my hair and creating a lil post-"activities" sweat scented aura around my being. after a lot of what I can assume brutal and bloody fighting the rose finally emerges (yay) and is holding hands with the mallow. the end result is what would happen to a sweet, mild rose perfume after some sweaty debauchery. it's very nice in the end but I'd be wary about wearing this in the BO-filled summer months -
as a pomegranate lover, I rejoiced HARD this lupercalia since there were so many pom scents ❤️ and while pomegranate is so beautiful and gorgeous and makes you want to put it in everything, sometimes it just needs to hand out with its very close friend pink peppercorn one on one and damn do they make a great match. the pom is super sweet and tart and just straight up smells like a hard candy. the pink pepper is present in the form of a slight burn in your nostrils when you inhale. I'd definitely prefer it playing a bigger role but I can't complain because this scent is really nice and straightforward. BPAL's pom note never fails me

I can absolutely inhale a bunch of lychees while watching something, so I definitely jumped at the chance to smell like one. the florals are more prominent than the lychee (which makes sense since florals are 4/6 of the notes) but the lychee is still very much there and fighting to be noticed. I unfortunately can't make out the pink peppercorn much (womp womp cause I love pink pepper) so this oil is just super bright with nothing trying to bring it down or curb it. this is beautiful and very delightful! definitely tempting to upgrade to a full bottle

this is definitely not my realm and not my usual scent. honestly I loved the label art and let it entice me into something that I wouldn't normally try, plus I love mango cream and papaya so I just went for an imp. it's definitely the outlier of my luper haul which has been mostly fruity and sweet with a touch of florals. this is just super sweet leather with a slight peppery and sweat salt burn, and the sweetness is very much on the artificial side. I can't really pick out much else since this is very much not my specialty. it's definitely extremely sensual and suggestive and I totally see the appeal. it's like some leather gear got stained with tears, sweat, and the remnants of the wearer's (or their partners?) super sweet perfume sprayed on beforehand was shoved in a bottle. it evokes a very naughty image and I'll definitely put it on time to time

this smells like something I've smelled before and I just cannot put my finger on what it is! P.V. is very complicated and kind of sensual imo. all the notes work together and make something that's truly more than the sum of it's parts. the labdanum and resin bring a darker sense to it while the juicy pomegranate and plum lifts it back up. I'm kind of lost for words except that P.V. is complex, beautiful and kinda sexy.

oh yes. this is the scent of pure sour gummy candy. it's tart but still sweet and lovely! the musk brings a heady-ness to the candy scent and it's looovely. it's not sensual at all but that's fine because sometimes all you need is to smell like sour candy!
-
this is a really fun scent! the description wasn't lying when it said it was a fruit roll up, it smells exactly like a fruit roll up or gusher with a hint of sweet pepper. it actually took a bit for the pepper to come out, I received my imp order at the end of april and only lately has the pepper started to show itself when I wear it. I'm very happy it did decide to come around because I love pepper in my perfumes, it's fantastic. this is just a supe sweet candy scent with a bit of a peppery burn at the end. it's great!

I absolutely love this blend, definitely my favorite of the lupers I ordered and I definitely have to get a full bottle. right off the bat its a sweet cream-y just barely ripe peach. it's very subtley floraly in a way that I can't really pick out each flower but it is very much there. it's just so gorgeous. amazing balance of creamy and fruity with a hint of florals. if you like peaches and cream do yourself a favor and get this.
-
ugh SO BEAUTIFUL. absolutely gorgeous. I swear this smells like a bath and body works soap I've used before. it's predominantly guava and sweet cream. the fig and guava both bring a fantastic tartness that brings this scent full circle. a super well rounded creamy fruity scent. definitely a top 3 luper of the 10 imps I ordered from ajevie

~~frimp review~~ wow this is nice! freshly on, it's super woodsy/naturey. the pine is really nice without smelling like a christmas tree. there's a hint of spice, and i'm not familiar enough with the notes to firmly place it, but it's a tad winter pinecone-y (in a good way, i like how those smell so good to me). after a few minutes, it settles as a nice woodsy scent with the hint of spice still there. it's almost rootbeer-esque. pretty good!
-
~~frimp review~~ fresh on, it smells really clean in a way, but also grandma-y. definite example of florals turning old and powdery and a bit stale. it calms down essentially immediately though and doesn't last in the grandma phase for long. it becomes darker, violet (i'm guessing) and sandalwood with a hint of musk is what it settles down into. about half an hour later it stays very similar to that it's super fragrant and has a pretty good throw imo. there's an aura around me. it's a nice scent but not one i'd wear necessarily even though i'm a huge floral lover. maybe my opinion will change on a revisit!

this has settled for a few weeks now, so here's my speedrun at reviewing the weenies I received before they're gone from the shop. first off, the throw is INSANE, which I appreciate greatly. freshly on the backs of my hands, it's smokey and charred, like a bonfire or the smell from a grill. It's got a hint of sweetness, a sweet smoke, and it's not dry. kind of smells like incense due to the sweet amber + smoke. I wish I could make out the pepper more, which was the primary reason I picked this scent, since I LOVE pepper in my perfumes (shoutout to Glossier You). it's more peppery in the bottle, so I know it's there. the cinnamon-y nature of the blood note comes out a bit and adds an extra layer of yum. just so yum.

I adore this scent, I'm very glad I picked it up. all I smell is unripe peaches, slightly sour. I had an ornamental peach tree in my backyard since I was little, and the peaches it bore were never sweet, always unripe and sour. that's exactly what this is. it's very refreshing and something different. I can't pinpoint any of the herbs specifically, but it's all just unripe peaches. so lovely

totally not biased because bears are my favorite animal....not at all in the bottle: it smells really sweet, and of berries and honey. it's also kind of herbally, but I can't pinpoint anything specific. on fresh: wow, one drop of this goes a LONG way. it is so potent and strong compared to other scents I've tried. it's very musky and I can clearly smell bark and leaves, as well as a smoky campfire. the honey sweetness is definitely still here, just weaker, making it so it doesn't go completely off the edge. it's a dry scent of a campfire in the woods, exactly like how your clothes and hair would smell after being around the campfire. can't really distinguish the berry here. it's dry but warm, not cold as the snow note would suggest. after 20 minutes: this really hasn't changed at all. I think the smokiness became a bit stronger, but it's the same sweet campfire scent. it's really nice and autumnal to me. wish I could get more of the berry but this is an interesting scent that is very true to its inspiration!
