Now so blended that it doesn't have individual notes, but still with the same character.

The amber is gone, and it has returned to the characteristic scent it had earlier. The fragrance is soft, but clearly there and recognizable as this perfume. Peace and serenity in a bottle.Īt 5 hours: There is less smokiness now, and some amber is starting to show up, adding its sweetness to the brown sugar and molasses.Īt 7 hours: A beautiful sweet and powdery amber, with the faintest hint of cedar.Īt 14 hours: Wow, my wrist is still fragrant. The brown-sugar-and-spice note blends so beautifully with the woodsmoke. The scent seems to have stabilized at around 30 minutes, and has not changed since. Because I can't imagine ANYONE not loving it. The sweetness and gentleness of the foody note balance out the more masculine wood and smoke notes. And to think that I saved it for last, out of all the imps in the box, because I thought I wouldn't like it! (I had forgotten about trying it before.)Īt 1 hour: I've changed my mind about this being masculine. More than that, even - it is blissing me out.Īt 45 minutes: This is one of my top favorite perfumes ever. Something about this is deeply satisfying in a way I can't describe or explain. And there's that barely-there touch of patchouli again. This is a little like spice cookies baking, but the woodsmoke keeps it from being too foody. Probably with some cardomom as well.Īt 30 minutes: The wood and smoke have lightened up, and the sweet note is more of a presence. Later ETA: On subsequent wearings, I definitely get a gingerbread cookies vibe. I called it black pepper before, but ginger seems more like it. If I sniff it long enough and hard enough, I get a bit of spicy tingle in my nose. It could be any, or several, of those, maybe with some cardomom. The sweet note is the brown sugar, molasses, caramel, or dark vanilla that reviewers mention. There's just a wisp of something else, something gentle, warm, and a little sweet. On me, wet: 10:55 am Mostly the cedar, right at first, but very quickly the smokiness kicks in.Īt 5 minutes: Cedar and smoke. So before I've even applied this, I already have three different perfumes in one, all gorgeous. What a surprise! It was a completely different perfume! This time, almost a single note cedar. So I rolled the imp, and sniffed the wand again. I usually do that before testing or wearing, but had forgotten to, and it had been sitting for a few days. I was reading the reviews to get some ideas of what notes to "look" for when someone mentioned rolling the vial to mix in a bit of sediment that had settled out. (A lot of that has to do with the smokiness of the vetiver.) I can easily switch back and forth between a beautiful perfume and industrial waste. But when I think of industrial smokestacks, I smell it differently. I'm one of those people who likes both of those notes very much.

Sniffing the wand, my first thought is, "vetiver and patchouli." It smells quite lovely to me. In the imp: Oil is dark brown, slightly opaque, thicker and more viscous than most BPAL oils. I'm keeping it, and I'm wearing it!Ī different lab frimp from a different year, aged about 6 years This is amazing - and soft and warm and cozy. I love campfires and the real wood-burning fireplace in my home just as much as any man does! And there's none of that prickly sharpness that men's colognes have. A lot of people would probably say this is a masculine scent, but I like it too much to give it over to the guys. Verdict: Very unusual, intriguing, and quite pleasant as well. It does develop just a touch of of sweetness eventually, but it's only a slight change.Īfter 2 hours: Holding up nicely, with no change in the scent - it's just a little softer.Īfter 18 hours, I can still smell it faintly on my skin.

On me, drydown: The fragrance remains quite consistent. And could that subtle spiciness be a touch of black pepper?

On me, wet: Pretty much the same, although on me the wood is stronger than the smoke. It's actually rather gorgeous: like a campfire, or a fireplace that's burning the kinds of woods that are treasured for the beautiful scents they generate when burned. when I keep sniffing, I smell wood as well. The first whiff brought me the strong and unmistakable odor of smoke - ugh, just like the description. In the imp: Oil is a clear light brown, almost like dark amber. This was a lab frimp of something I never would have chosen myself, and what a great surprise! (Thank you, lab!)
