torischroeder9 Report post Posted October 14, 2021 In the imp: Gladiola, lily, and sticky sweet resin. I think I can pick out the copal here, but I might just be filling in based on the note list. On my skin: Wet, it's absolutely sweet, sticky copal. On the drydown, the barest hint of florals come out, but it's still mainly copal. After some relatively short time (30-60 minutes), the florals disappear almost entirely, replaced by the warming presence of tonka supporting the copal. And a while after that, the resins fade, and I'm left with lilies again. It continues in this regard, bouncing back and forth between the copal and the lily, never quite settling in on me. I'll be honest: Based on notes alone, I think this was never destined for someone with my skin chemistry. I feel like it must come together much better on other people.

VetchVesper Report post Posted September 30 I used up the last dregs of a VERY aged imp, with oil the color of dark honey. Overall, this a regal and somber floral underpinned by musky, powdery wood. A tart, almost plummy iris is the only flower I can clearly discern. This smells old and dignified, like the Grande Dame in Aristocats, or maybe a spray of dark blooms on the dusty alter of a temple.
