    Imp: Sweet tea

     

    Wet: Lemony tea

     

    Dry down: Still lemony tea and gaining in sweetness and started making me see stars.. My head is starting to pound

     

    1hr later: OMG this is GOING TO THE SWAP SECTION.. My head is pounding and i'm actually feeling nauseous! It smells absolutely sickeningly sweet and dare I say.. revolting..

     

    Sorry for the horrid review but I am seeing stars so badly with this one.. It's so strong and scent is just not very nice.. I don't get sexy, I get lots of crazy honeyed lemon with a background of something really yuck (i'm assuming the fougere)

     

     

    *gone to scrub it off*

     

    :P

    Imp: This was a rather sharp leather to me probably due to the musk. There is a faint background of something sweet as well but I cannot really place it (I am still new at picking individual scents!). I know what leather smells like though lol and it's almost tangy!

     

    Wet on skin: Still a very fresh, sharp, leathery scent. The leather is not old, dry, tough sort of leathery smell but rather the smell of newly oiled leather (like horse saddles). The musk definitely shines through as well but the dominant note is still leather.

     

    Dry down: Sweet leather! This is soooooooooooooooooo yummy! Whatever the sweet scent was it comes through better now. The sharpness has been dulled by the sweet and the leather is definitely still there but the combination is beautiful. It lasted for a good 6+ hours too!

     

    Conclusion: I think my skin works well with scents that have musk in them and the scents also tend to be prolonged. I love that it turned into sweet leather and this imp is definitely a keeper :D A unique scent that works!

     

    :P I won't smell like all the other generic perfumes around college and the workplace :D

    In the bottle: This smelt like citrussy wet earth? How does that work I am not sure but that's what it smelt like to me..

     

    Wet on skin: This definitely morphed! Suddenly it turned kinda creamy and florally. Really really strange (I am new to BPAL and all the morphing is quite well.. fun!) It's a subtle sweet fragrance that I know I can wear

     

    Dry down: Morphed again! It turned spicy and I like it! :D No more floral but the citrus came back with a big bang - Spicy + citrus is a good combination to me!

     

    It lasted about 4+ hours which is quite good seeing that I only work about 5hrs a day.

     

    Conclusion - I'm keeping the bottle! This will be yummy for my Monday blues :P

    My BPAL adopted mummy :D *waves to metaldog32* encouraged me to post reviews so here I am!

     

    It's a pretty layman type review by anyone's standard so please bear with me :P

     

    Imp: I liked it.. it smelled slightly floral and not too sweet.

     

    Wet on skin: I was shocked.. It smelled like this awful fruity shampoo you can get at supermarkets that I really dislike.. It pretty much smelled exactly like it! This lasted about 1/2 an hour

     

    and then...

     

    Dry down(?): It turned powdery vanilla/florally on me. Not sure where the vanilla came from but definitely some sort of powdery flower.

     

    It didn't last beyond 2 hours and I put heaps on!

     

    Conclusion: I might keep it and give it one more go in the summer (it's winter here in NZ)

     

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I did it! :D
