    Marie

    MARIE: A blend of sinuous violet and elegant tea rose: the chosen scent of France's Demigoddess of Debauch: Marie Antoinette. wet-violet. dry down: violet later-violet. Stays and stays with a light violetty touch. Luckily, I adore violets and currently have a yard full of them. Um, they don't really smell like this. BUT this is a great violet scent. Most are too cloying and sweet. I'm getting a 10ml of this because it is perfect for spring. Sure would like violet/rose, though...

    Spooky

    Spooky? Wet: cilantro, mint and coconut. On skin, dry down: this faded into coconut very quickly. Within an hour it was gone. I soo wanted thin mint...

    Storm Moon

    Storm Moon WOW! Ozone and wet stuff and sharp stuff and sleet-torn flowers! Wet: Indefinable. But I'll try-electric sleet. Aquatic notes, just drenched and a masculine bit of musk with, hmmmm orchid? On skin: lovely. Softens into a wet floral but not feminine Spring like. Tough flowers made to with stand the snow...crocus and witch hazel. Hours later; wah! fades in 2 hours or so.

    Catherine

    Catherine. My Grandmother's name, a very...strong name. Wet: sharp, bitter orange blossoms. I love that. An undercurrent of something bitter, too piercing. Dry down on skin: still orange blossom with comtinuing sharp, soapy, harsh tone. Hours later: fades in about 4 hours to a soft summer blossom smell with that crisp tang. Not to be trifled with.

    Bluebeard

    Bluebeard Wet: powerfully strong. No violets to my nose. Heavy, masculine. Woodsy and metallic. Dry down: powdery like gunpowder. Tobacco. Bay rum. hours later: very heavy and angry. Dusty bay rum and a green scent.

    Chimera

    wet: cherry and formaldehyde. Let's try again-ok, cinnamon, but real cinnamon-I smell cinnamon bark with a bitter note and myrrh and sweet. on me/dry down: wow. Cinnamon an caramel. later: actually gets stronger on me as it goes on. Warm, interesting sweet caramel and cinnamon.

    The Hesperides

    Wet; bitter oak and apples? I smell chocolate and almonds with a fruit smell. On me/dry down: faded fast. Fruity Re-applied. Oak, a harsh scent with almonds and fruit.

    March Hare

    March Hare A twisted teatime tart: apricot and sweet clove. wet: Whew! Orangy-orange and tart lemon. On me/dry down: oranges. Really bright oranges. Later: I was surprised that the description says apricots and cloves. No cloves on me, but, ok, orange apricots. Husband says it smells like a room scent candle. Strong!

    Forbidden Fruit

    Forbidden fruit. Wet/in vial: sloghtly over-ripe berries with a plastic-chemical undertone. Lotus? I smell sweet, pungent too sweet. dry down: berries but not real berries-lipgloss berries. hours later: just the berries-but artificial berries. Like... the lipgloss and perfume I'd have worn while experiencing forbidden fruit at age 14.

    Twilight

    Twilight smells like a soft evening falling after a warm, lazy day. It's sad, but not overwhelmingly so. Wet: floral, lavender honeysuckle and maybe lily of the valley with a sharp tone and a sniff like rain Dry down: floral, soft, roses and honeysuckle hours later, very soft, lingering roses and lavender.

    Velvet

    rocketing to the top of my 5 ml list... VELVET!!! wet: cocoa/chocolate! rich, heavenly, milk chocolate! on skin/dry down: wah! where the chocolate go? wah..wa..huh, that's the incense my mom burned when I was a kid...sandalwood? the chocolate morphs into...sandalwood? a few hours later: I wish it was chocolate, but the mellow sandalwood with myrrh is both sharp crisp and soft pillowy. Love this, truly, truly original. Both hard and soft.

    Queen of Diamonds

    Wet: mmmm. sharp aquatics (icicles!) and woodsy herbal with a definite spring floral. A walk in the winter woods with a sharp tang in the wind...and the discovery of new hyacinths in the snowdrifts. fresh and dry: this scent held very well for me. I could still smell ice, woods and florals. 4 hours later: great, great soft floral with an edge.

    Scarecrow

    huh-a real oddity. Wet: oil, burning, smoky, sweet. weird. dry down: evolves into a nice masculine scent of woodsy green. The smoke burns off. Hours later-woodsy guy-scent. nice.

    Cathode

    I only wish the initial smell stayed. Wet: POW! Green mint and sour limes. In a good way. Dry down: goes to green sweet herbs with some lime. Hours later: a pretty green sniff with a little citrus.

    Black Phoenix

    One of Scorpio's symbols is the Phoenix because Scorpios always seem to struggle up from the ashes of disaster (particularly theirs). So being Scorpio, I was intrigued by anything Black Phoenix, esp because it is the signature scent of the Lab. Wet: mmm, sweet cherries in musk with amber over the top. A strong, hit-you-upside-the-head sniff. Dry down: there is still a cherry sweetness but the musk/amber is coming through. Hours later, a nice sweet amber. Definitely amber, but a powdery, sweet one.
