Shanghai
The crisp, clean scent of green tea touched with lemon verbena and honeysuckle.

In bottle: lemony tea goodness

On me (wet): sweet honeysuckle nicely balanced by a very crisp, clear citrusy note. I can't smell the tea anymore. Sad-making.

On me (dry): the tea is back, providing a lovely undercurrent to an already pretty scent.

Verdict: ...yep, it was the jasmine making me all sad in New Orleans. This one Lily likes~



Glasgow
The rich scent of wild blackberry breezing over gentle rosy heather.

In bottle: perfumey, but sweet

On me (wet): Oooh, the blackberry's coming out more.

On me (dry): ...Oh, wow. This scent works like heaven with my skin. It's sweet and warm and absolutely lovely. I keep wanting to smell myself - and have to keep telling myself this stuff isn't edible.

Verdict: Love, love, love! This one I may be getting a bottle of.



Morocco
The intoxicating perfume of exotic incenses wafting on warm desert breezes. Arabian spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia.

In bottle: Spicy - exotic is a good word for it.

On me (wet): Smoky and heady. Am I getting some incense in there?

On me (dry): This feels like a very mature scent - I can't put it in quite another way. A bit intoxicating, too.

Verdict: Not exactly 'me', but I would love it on somebody else, particularly a female someone. I have two imps and will probably be keeping one of them.

I lucked out, I guess. No bad pennies for me. I have no idea how old my current imps are, though. All I know is that they still work.
