    Cusp of Aries and Taurus, so basically a mixture of contrasts. I was very Taurus in my youth, but the Aries seems to be coming out more and more.

    Skuld

    Wet: fruity cough syrup Transition: bubblegum and cough syrup, with a hint of something nice in the back but it's quite hidden Dry: the sweetness calms down but it is still very cough syrup-ish with a bit of soap Verdict: Yuck! I don't think I like my skin. I've only found one scent that works consistently on it and this was not it!
  2. FelicityTwitchell

    Aeval

    sweet, a little bit of soap, and much too plain
  3. FelicityTwitchell

    Penitence

    Wet: I don't remember but I think it was mostly the same as dry. Dry: wood incense a lil green/sharp aging may be good A while later: mostly smoky wood, a bit sweet Verdict: I like this one, but I think I'll put it aside for a month or two and see if it's gotten better. Oh and I need to try on the S.O. as well!

    Hairy Toad Lily

    Spotty, hairy, purple, sweet! Wet: soap and green apples Transition: then soap and pears Dry: mostly soap some fruit maybe a lil musk
  5. FelicityTwitchell

    Prurience

    Wet: dirty potatoes, floral Dry: slightly sweet and slightly soapy dirty potatoes, mostly soap and dirt Verdict: I'm wondering if vetiver smells like potatoes to me

    Saint-Germain

    Wet: cologne yes, lemony herb smell reminds me of thyme really diff. from the imp on my skin Dry: moss and lemon-thyme, harsh musk Verdict: nah

    BPAL to Avoid (DB scents)

    Nearly Anything with Dragon or Blood in the title, but additionally: Serpent's Kiss Diabolus Seething with passion, yet utterly cold-blooded. Dragon's blood, vetivert and spice. Blood Rose Rappaccini's Garden Sensual, robust, and silken: voluptuous red rose bursting with lascivious red wine and sultry dragon's blood resin. Wrath Sin & Salvation A scent aflame with rage, swirling in the red haze of hatred: dragon's blood spiked with black pepper, clove, and cinnamon. Tintagel Wanderlust According to legend, the birthplace of King Arthur. The scent of a castle's great hall in the midst of joyous feasting. Spicy mulled wine flowing through the musky heat, warm leather and bright clash of armor, the damp branches of Cornish hawthorn, blackthorn, juniper, English elm and bayberry, and the magical tingle of dragon's blood resin. Ladon Ars Draconis The hundred-headed dragon that guards the garden of the Hesperides: dragon’s blood resin, golden apple, apple blossom, white musk and hyacinth. Surprisingly Okay? The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed With the Sun The Salon , William Blake. Daemonorops, vanilla, Indian sandalwood, Mexican copal, hyssop, muguet, sweet pea, amber, hazelwood, galbanum, hiba wood, and orchid.

    Ultraviolet

    Wet: eucalyptus, mint, hint of floral Transition: much the same as wet Dry: the floral turns a little soapy but not in a harsh way, eucalyptus is a little less strong, the mint is strongest Verdict: It's a refreshing sort of scent but not really my thing. I wonder if it wouldn't be a more pleasant alternative to Vick's Vapor Rub when sick?

    Wicked

    Wet: bitter and potatoes earthy starchy, Transition: touch of sweetness, floral a bit "bitter" but very potato-y Dry: I just can't get past the smell of potatoes, the florals are a bit too sweet for me too. After a while: bitter florals, the sweetness and eathy notes are in the background but less dominate. Verdict: The name is fitting but this is really not something I want to smell or smell like.

    My Own Personal Skin Chem

    I seem to have the oddest one of a kind reactions. If I have a scent twin out there I don't think they've discovered BPAL yet. I am seriously tempted to apply scents to my fingers from now on, the reactions seem better on average to the drops that spill there.

    Love-In-Idleness

    Wet: oh god bug spray with perfume Transition: lets see... rose, slightly vanilla and oh ya and lots of bug spray! Dry: bitter, sharp, weird, still a bit of pesticide scent and strongly of chemicals Throw: I'm guessing far, I'm typing and the scent is just below my wrists but it smells like this is coming at me from all directions! Like the room is filled with the strong odor of scented pesticides! (of course I may have applied more than I meant to) Once again the bit on my fingers from opening the imp is somewhat nice but too sweet and department store perfume-ish I washed my arm, luckily it is now a bit like rubbing alcohol as opposed to the other chemical smell. I wish I knew all the notes in this, because if I encounter this again I'll want to know what to avoid. So I can avoid it like the plague.

    Baghdad

    wet: rose musk barely pick out the mandarin, sandalwood in the background but sharp rather than smoky dry: baby powder very sharp smelling greenery? musk and id I sniff really really hard slight tinge of wood and sweetness verdict: I don't know if I'd like this on anyone else but it doesn't seem to turn out well on my skin Note: I spilled a drop or two on my finger and that area is very much smoky sandalwood and a tiny bit of sweetness. I adore the scent of smoky sandalwood, even if I prefer it mixed with other things. I'm not going to keep this just to wear on my fingers though, lol

    Fire of Love

    Wet: sandalwood? This isn't the type of sandalwood note I covet. It is cut wood but not smoky. Something sweet hidden in the background? This is quite pungent, overall. Transition: almost smoky a bit sweeter maybe it's vanilla? Dry: very smoky wood, sweetness possibly vanilla is still hidden in the background, I'm only picking out the two notes which aren't blending well and seem to clash A while late:r sweetness is more present with a tiny bit of creaminess but the smokiness is still to strong even for me. Verdict: I would say it is masculine but unless it is more complex on my guy I won't be keeping this. Oh and on me at least this is in no way arousing!

    Glasgow

    wet: floral very tart berries, green not terribly sweet and rather nice dry: kinda strong and turns into a dryer sheet smell which wasn't bad at first but all the complexity has vanished now. No more berries and I really have no idea what heather is supposed to smell like. verdict: not awful but not good
  15. FelicityTwitchell

    Shadow Witch Orchid

    Wet: berries and musk, a whiff of a a third note I don't recognize Dry: the musk is stronger followed by the orchid? (or so I assume) then just the faintest bit of berries Verdict: This just doesn't suit me very well.
