Thank you thank you thank you for posting this site! I am soo grateful! You have no idea. I'm so thrilled. 
Once my finances recover some from the holidays, I'll be placing another order. I want to re-wear a few of my imps to decide which 5ml I will be adding next. I only order one 5ml and six imps per order, to be kinder to my finances and test new oils.
I'll probably order some wand caps as well for easier application.Today's scent is Jezebel (from the ARS AMATORIA collection)
Description: Biblical witch, priestess of Astarte, and general troublemaker. A true role model for today's upwardly mobile Modern Woman. A gloriously decadent blend of honey, roses, orange blossom and sandalwood.
Imp nose: Oranges and vodka is the first thought I had.
Wet on skin: Still very orangey. Pretty strong.
Dry on skin: Not very fond of this scent. I smell like baby powder, and it's burning my nose. Ew.
ETA: I'm washing it off. It's disgusting and giving me a head ache.

Sucks about Jezebel, Lilah. The description sounds awesome!
PW, oils are just awesome. As you have read, they aren't great on everyone due to body chemistry, but that's why the six-imp deal is so great - you can try on six different oils, and some won't work, and some will - you can try the duds on others, whom might smell amazing with it, and get 5mls of the ones you love.

I got mine in today. My free imps were The Harlot's House and Old Demons of the First Class. I tried Old Demons of the First Class today.
OLD DEMONS OF THE FIRST CLASS
Siberian musk, black clove, opoponax, tonka, black pepper, and neroli.
Imp nose: The musk is strong, and scent is spicy.
Wet on Skin: Very spicy, must be the black pepper showing through. A few sweet notes.
Dry on Skin: I LOVE it. It's a musky, languid smell. The pepper has blended in. Also smells like a shirt I bought in an incense shop once. Smokey, and warm smelling.
I want to try all my imps before ordering more and a 5 mL, but this one is on the short list.

Um, thanks for making me check them out. I haven't yet, but I will HAVE TO because I LOVE perfume oils.
Right now, I'm currently addicted to the oils from:
themorbidthemerrier.com
Her "Black Jack" is MY scent. I have a stick of it now, but I am waiting for a bottle of the oil to arrive in the mail.
She started out on etsy, is still on etsy, but also has a website.
My friend also makes some pretty awesome perfume oils.
She's on etsy. I have her..."Fire Eater", "Serpentina", "Tapadero", and I'll have to look in my oil box to see what else by her I have. Her site is here:
Handcrafted Decotorian Steamveau Esque by darlingclandestine

Well, I went on scent base and found these guys: Violette Market (Violette Market, Fine Hand Blended Perfumes, Bath and Body Luxuries, and Novelties)
Soooo I used some of my Christmas money that I didn't know what to do with and got some samples from them:
Bordeaux Garden
Catacombs
The Veil of the Moon
Bacchus
Persephone
Ghost of the Virgin Brides
It seems as though I really like the earthy scents, and they smell good on me. Jezebel was BAAAAD on me. I also tried Vicomte de Valmont and it smelled really good, but was more of a man's scent. It smelled like cracked black pepper. So, that one will be saved for the hubs.
Today I think I'm going to try out Cheshire Cat and see how that goes.

Today's scent is Blood Countess (from the Diabolus Collection)
Description: Elizabeth Báthory, also called Erzsébet Báthory in Hungarian and Alžbeta Bátoriová-Nádašdy in Slovak, was the Bloody Lady of Hungary. In order to preserve her youth and loveliness, the brutal and incomparably savage countess captured, tortured and slaughtered innumerable young women and bathed in their blood as part of her beauty regimen. Ah, vanity. Corrupted black plum, smoky opium and crumbling dead roses covered by a deceptive veil of Hungarian lilac, white gardenia and wild berry.
Imp nose: Hint of Rose. Smells citrusy.
Wet on skin: Smells almost spicey. Like cinnamon potpourri.
Dry on skin: It smells like cinnamon gummy bears. I like it, but not enough to buy a 5ml bottle of it.

Today, I tried O.
O
The scent of sexual obsession, slavery to sensual pleasure, and the undercurrent of innocence defiled utterly. Amber and honey with a touch of vanilla.
Imp nose: This smells like cherries to me. Interesting since that isn't a component of the scent.
Wet on skin: Very strong and smells almost floral. Not a big fan of this one while vet.
Dry on skin: Husky vanilla smell. Also shades of viscous honey. I'm enjoying it ALOT more.
Verdict: I'll have to try this one a few more times. It's less of a maybe 5 mL than the other scent was.
ETA: Just ordered 3 samples from The Morbid the Merrier. Black Jack, Gypsy, and Delina.

Yes, I'm interested in how different the scents will be from different sites. I'll review those, too.
Today, I wore Ophelia.
Ophelia: Wistful and vulnerable: lotus, water blossom ivy, stargazer lily and white rose.
Imp Nose: There is an aquatic smell there, must be the water blossom ivy. Everything seems balanced with other.
Wet on Skin: Floral, but it still seems nice and balanced.
Dry on Skin: This smells like pot-purri on me. Not horrible, but not great on my skin. I might try trading this one to try something else.

MY REACTION: Personally.. not for me. but didn't smell bad! Just a VERY SEXY SCENT
The amber and honey was just too much and it felt very very..dark.
Its a very dark, deep, sultry smell... which isn't my style really lol I gave it a try because I just wanted to know but it isn't for me, but its not a bad scent at all!!
The amber and honey really stick around are strong all day, the vanilla for me was strong at first but then faded to a dark vanilla backdrop later
It's a sexy smell. but it bit too grown up for me I think.
but true to its name.. it is very SEX SEX SEX
This is NOT a roses and candles making love kind of scent.
This is dirty, passionate, hot, dark... sexy as hell kind of scent lol
Not the right fit for my personality. but its a great scent overall if you are feeling well..hot lol
TWO, FIVE & SEVEN:
‘Would you tell me,’ said Alice, a little timidly, ‘why you are painting those roses?’
Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began in a low voice, ‘Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss, we’re doing our best, afore she comes, to—’
A huge bouquet of squished rose petals: Bulgarian rose, Somalian rose, Turkish rose, Damascus rose, red and white rose, tea rose, wine rose, shrub roses, rose, rose, rose…
…and just an itty bitty bit of green grass.
MY REACTION LOVE IT!! WAY TO GO BPAL!!!
FOR ONCE a rose perfume that doesn't just smell like a hot mess of florals!!
Wet, dry, all day.. its the perfect smell of REAL roses. Freshly cut, sweet, soft, pretty roses!!
Such a great long lasting lovely scent.
Simple and lovely
for rose scent lovers only..obviously lol
Wore it all day and just love it its such a sweet perfect rose scent! lol no other way to describe it!
ROSES ROSES ROSES ROSES!!
THE UNICORN
A misty, almost luminous perfume: wispy linden blossoms, white flowers, and a touch of sweet herbs.
MY REACTION
Wet: At first.. the scent comes on as a soft sweet floral
Dry: leaves a lovely very soft floral scent, but its more complicated than just a regular ol floral (maybe the herbs) regardless, its lovely.
very sweet (not in the candy sense) but innocence wise.. Its an innocent, lovely, simple and quiet smell.
Just a soft, simple, pretty scent I love it.. Perfect mix of soft florals and just perfect
Think of unicorns, white fluffy pillows, dandelions, Princesses, ...it's that kind of scent lol

Public Service Announcement:
Do not try to read the label of your favorite imp while it's open.... it will all spill on the floor and though your floor will now smell amazing, you will be very sad and think that you're very, very stupid. That is all.
(On the plus side, it convinced me to buy a 5ml bottle of Miskatonic U!)
