kenjariAnd now, on a happier note, I've tested three out of my 8 imps (6 I ordered + 1 free one and 1 from ladybird).
I tried La Petit Mort first, and it was a disappointment. It smelled nice in the vial, but quickly went to baby powder on my skin. Not what I was expecting or wanting out of something named after a synonym for orgasm.
With my first test being a failure, I was afraid I'd have a hard time finding anything I liked, and that my first order would not yield any positive results. I should really be more optimistic.
Next up was Burial, and it worked quite well. It's very piney, but not in a cleaning product sort of way. There's a bit of rose in there, and an earthy note. It's like being in a thick pine forest, but it's the smell of the ground where the dirt and dry needles are. As it dried it took on a clean, fresh, almost sharp quality, like a stiff breeze. I like it a lot, but I'm reserving judgement on whether or not I want a bottle of it until I've tried all my imps.
Right now I'm trying out Lyonesse, and I think I'm in love. This stuff is gorgeous! It's warm and creamy, all sunshine and vanilla. It practically glows. I am pretty sure I will get a bottle.
