A lazy, warm deep green scent with a thick aquatic undertone: Spanish moss, evergreen and cypress with watery blue-green notes and an eddy of hothouse flowers and swamp blooms.
The essence of innocence shattered: glittering Egyptian amber and heliotrope, infused with the sweetness of strawberry and vanilla – dragged into debauch by lusty red musk and a dribble of black cherry.
The scent of sacred incense swirling up the steep slopes to Swayambhunath Stupa. Saffron, blessed sandalwood, Himalayan cedar and the miraculous lotus of the Buddha with chiuri bark and Nepalese spices.
Luminescent, glowing, and otherworldly: green mandarin, neroli, honeydew, white amber, guava, freesia, white and green musks hovering over desert scrub, smashed wood, and the dry, biting scent of night air over the Groom Lake salt flats.

I got London as a frimp and I fell deeply in love! I like rose the regular amount and honestly didn’t expect to be so entranced by it, but it’s such a gorgeous scent. It evokes champagne to me, flirtatious and sweet but never overly sugary. I’ll definitely buy a full bottle asap.

Got this as an imp and my goodness I’m definitely buying a full size! I was hesitant to commit to the full bottle because I don’t really like heavy or artificial rose scents, but this smelled like gentle, fresh roses! I tested the scent before I went to bed and spent my morning with a lingering scent of roses on my arm! Absolutely wonderful and exactly what I was hoping for!

This goes from a pure rose to rose, tea, and an almost-soap smell. Very clean, which isn’t always the case with rose scents. Not sure I’ll buy a full-sized bottle, but I don’t regret buying the imp at all.

Got this as a bonus imp in a larger batch and I ended up liking it more than almost all the stuff I picked out myself, but then again I’m a sucker for rose.
On me this is a full bodied, almost syrupy sweet rose. Never got too powdery or ‘country-club ladies room potpourri’ smelling. The backbone of this is really the darker undertone, a little spicy, a little herbal. It blends very well with the rose and creates something almost seamless. Reminds me of rosewater sweet tea. If you like roses, you’ll probably like this!

This oil is strong in rose scent, but with a nice undertone. It’s not overwhelmingly floral, and has a little complexity to it.

Dusty, dry, powdery roses. Makes me think of a dish of rose scented potpourri that’s covered in dust.

Love this one, though on me it doesn’t smell wicked at all, but rather comforting – soft gentle roses and warm skin. Mmmm.

In the imp: Tea rose, yes… with something not quite right.
Wet: Same. First, I get tea rose, and then the ‘blackened’ aspect mentioned in the description, which is becoming more prominent over time. I was trying to pinpoint what it was, and then I realized that it is a black tea note. I wouldn’t expect anything else from London!
Dry: Rose and the Lab’s black tea note. The black tea note had a black licorice vibe at one point, but it never veered into complete black licorice territory (thankfully).
Verdict: This one isn’t for me (as I prefer my floral notes paired with something sweet), but I do think this one really fits its description!
