Wet: Cinnamon and cheesecake. Where you hiding, apple? Dry: More cinnamon than cheesecake, and still no apple. To be fair, my skin amps the crap out of cinnamon at times, so you may have better luck!

Wet: Peach hard candy! Dry: Peach -and- strawberry hard candy! There's really no cheesecake that's appeared in this blend, but I'm actually not too disappointed by that. I like sticky-sweet candy scents, and this is really nice.

Wet: Lots of acai berry and neroli! This is very bright, fresh, and a little "green" smelling. Not getting any Snake Oil yet. Dry: Welcome to the party, Snake Oil! Snake Oil, with a little bit of acai berry and a little bit of smokey something. (Not really reading as smoked vanilla to me, but something in it DOES seem smokey.) While I think it's nice, it's not one of my favorite SO blends, and it's probably time to let this go to a better home.

I can't believe I never got around to doing these.. whoops! Original AL Wet: Warm vanilla, and a kind of clean linen smell. Dry: Borderline-buttery vanilla, the faintest whiff of flowers, and a little bit of that clean linen smell. It is.. so stunning. This was one of my first 5ml purchases from the lab, and I'll be so sad when it's gone; I'm down to half a bottle! 2017 AL Wet: Much fainter than the original version. This is more like a vanilla musk. Dry: Very faint vanilla musk, and a touch of clean linens. I probably won't wear this again until my original bottle is all gone, and hopefully by then, it'll have aged into something stunning.

Wet: This scent reminds me of something.. but I have NO idea what. This is mainly sugared apples. Dry: The vanilla cream has come out, and is the prominent scent! The sugared apples are in the background, but still hanging around enough to KNOW that they're there. Yum! I need to do some comparisons with scents I already have; the wet stage reminds me of another scent, but the dry-down does not.

Wet: Sticky-sweet dragon's blood. Dry: Sugary sweet dragon's blood. The sweetness isn't necessarily reading as "strawberry" to me, but I definitely agree that this is what a dragon's blood lollipop would smell like. Right up my alley!

The hops were the first thing I smelled when I sprayed this. Once I sniffed my hair, it was a sweet, hoppy lavender-vanilla cloud. Very pretty.

Wet: Pink musk. It's almost like a candied musk, it's very sweet(thanks to the vanilla sugar). Dry: Pink, candied musk, and sweet pea. It's like Mouse's Long and Sad Tale's super girly cousin... who also eats a lot of sugar. Very happy I was able to snag this one!

Wet: Very white, clean-smelling florals. Similar to other reviews; I'm not getting any tobacco, bourbon vanilla, or tonka. Dry: Count me in as another person with still no tobacco, bourbon vanilla, or tonka appearing on the skin. I was hoping those notes would ground the floral notes, but no such luck. Still all flowers, all the time; almost identical to the wet version, which is rare! I was hoping the moonflower would be more prominent (my favorite floral note!), but I can't seem to pick it out either. However, if you're a floral lover, I don't think you'd be disappointed by this! Just not a scent for me.

Wet: Amped up pie filling(everything but the crust), with a touch of rum! This is warm, buttery, spicy, and delicious. Dry: Something has turned that delicious pie filling stage into plastic. :| Basically it's a hint of pie filling now, heavy spices, and plastic. Can I blame the vanilla cream? ... Because I blame the vanilla cream. Curse you!

Wet: In order of strongest to least; tuberose, violet, lilac. It's reminding me of Daddy-O Shampoo by Lush. (Disclaimer: it's been several years since I smelled it.) Dry: This is practically a violet single note on me now; I'm not sure where the tuberose or the lilac went. Apparently violet kicked their butts and ran them out of town. There is a faint powderyness that may be from the tuberose in the background, but otherwise.. violets on top of violets on top of violets.

Wet: Minty frankincense; very strong on the mint! Dry: The mint has finally chilled out. This smells like a mint-flavored marshmallow, with just a liiiittle frankincense in the background to add some depth. It's surprisingly nice! I think my decant will be enough, though.

Wet: Musky vanilla tuberose. A bit strong on the rose for me. Dry: Oohhhhh... okay... now I'm understanding the love for this. The tuberose has calmed down a bit; it's still there, but it's no longer the dominant note. It's a lot of warm musky vanilla, with a touch of rose. I can't identify the almond or the mandarin, but they may just be adding to the sweetness of this blend. I like this much more than I thought I would. If you're afraid of anything rose-related the way I am, I would still recommend hunting down a decant of this; you may be surprised!

Wet: Lots of toasted coconut, and some creaminess from the honeyed almond milk. Dry: The toasted coconut overthrew all the other notes, basically. There's definitely still a sweetness to the blend, but I would say this is 95% toasted coconut, 4% honeyed almond milk, and 1% plastic on me. Disappointed the fig never made an appearance! If you like coconut, you should grab this. It's definitely registering as more of a foodie coconut on my skin, like what I'd smell on a German chocolate cake. (Just, you know, minus the chocolate. ... Though if you want that, you could probably layer with Bliss!)

Wet: Strong lemon and mint. Dry: It's like someone coated a leather jacket with a lemony-mint perfume. It's not terrible by any means, but for me, the combination isn't really doing anything for me. If you like lemon scents it may be worth picking up, since the lemon is still pretty strong. The leather just isn't working with the lemon for me, though; it's reminding me of a lemon cleaning spray a little.

Wet: Sweet, thick raspberry jam. Dry: Some of the sweetness has died off, and some of the dough scent has come out! It's not necessarily reading as a jelly donut to my nose, but it's still something... edible. There were a couple of moments through the dry down where I thought it may turn plastic-y (as raspberry tends to do on my skin), but I think the dough note may have stopped it from going there. I think I prefer Blackcurrant Sufganiyot, but this is still really yum!

Wet: Lots and lots of sugary apples! Dry: A tango of apple, sweet pea, and.. I think vanilla cream. I wish the guava or passionfruit came out more, but I still like this! It's a very delicate fruity-floral. I just wish the throw was a little bit greater.

Wet: An herbal-like dragon's blood. Dry: Honey has appeared! The herbal quality from the wet stage has died off(or the honey notes suffocated it, either way I'm happy), and now this is like a honeyed dragon's blood scent. Definitely similar to both Dragon's Milk and Kwamie Cotton, on my skin at least(though I think I prefer those, as they're sweeter). I was hoping to get some vanilla orchid, but I'm still content with the dry-down.

Wet: Sweet pea, and musky peach. I liked this as soon as I opened the imp! I'm a total sucker for pear and moonflower, so I can't believe I haven't tried this yet. Dry: Well. The wet stage was fantastic, but unfortunately.. another case of my skin eating a scent. This is another one where I think I'll try turning it into a room scent, or add it to a leave-in conditioner, or SOMETHING. The imp I have is pretty new, so I'll try to re-test in a few months to see how it does after it's been sitting for a bit. I WANT this to work!

Wet: I don't know what the heck I'm smelling, but I do not like it. It's like medicinal cologne. Dry: .. in short; it's a no from me, dawg. It's like someone is wearing that same medicinal cologne, while standing in the middle of some chopped down trees.

Wet: Musky florals; nothing that is strong enough for me to identify. Light throw. Dry: The smallest amount of fruity-sweetness has come out, so it's more of a light musky-peachy-floral now. I wish the throw on this was greater, because it's so dang hard to get a good sniff of. I won't be needing a bottle, but I do think this is a nice scent. I may try and mix it with a leave-in hair conditioner, and see how that works! I think if you're afraid of florals, this might be a nice entry scent for you.

Wet: Sweet, fruity, syrup-like honey. I definitely agree with previous reviews about blackberry being in this. Lots of throw. Dry: Still a syrupy honey kind of scent, with just a touch of blackberry thrown in. Average throw. I like it! I don't think I'll need a big bottle, since I'm not usually drawn to this type of scent, but I'll definitely keep my imp and use it up.

Wet: Lots and lots of honey and carnation. Strong throw, too! Dry: Pretty similar to the wet stage, only with the addition of cardamom now. The throw has calmed down a little, but it's still on the stronger side. I'm actually not as crazy about this one as I thought I'd be. It's nice, definitely wearable, but something about it isn't really wow-ing me.

Wet: Frostbitten fruity flowers. Yes yes yes. Dry: Cold flowers. The drydown isn't what I would describe as fruity, but it's definitely sweet-smelling. For someone who's not a huge floral fan, I think this is quite nice! The fruit seems to keep it from going into soapy-flower territory.

(For the Resurrected version) Wet: You know at the fair when you're walking down Fried Food and Diabetes Alley? Yep. That, in a bottle. A little bit of cotton candy, a little bit of fried dough, some overall sugary sweetness, and a whole lot of mouth watering. Dry: Mostly cotton candy, with a hint of funnel cakes. Divine.
