geekchickI was inspired to pull out some of the imps I have sitting around and try some of them out. First up:
Harlot
Based on a Romany incense blend reputed to induce sexual dreams: Somalian rose, Moroccan rose and Bulgar rose with a sultry dribble of cinnamon.
In the vial: ROSES. Yowza.
Wet: In the first pass, it seemed to go powdery almost immediately. Not to be discouraged, I tried again. Still lots of roses, but not as strong as in the vial. I'm not smelling the...okay, after about five minutes there's a small hint of cinnamon. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't looking for it.
Dry: The cinnamon is completely gone, and it's tending heavily towards "rose-scented powder". It's not bad, but I was hoping for a little more spice. It also doesn't seem to last very long on my skin. [Edit: Okay, I must've just stopped being able to smell it for a while, as this morning there's still a very faint rose scent on my wrist.] As to the reputed effects, well, I'll tell you tomorrow. Or not, more likely.
