  1. In the bottle it's apples. Wet it's OMG-OVERPOWERING-APPLES-GET-IT-OFF. But I'm crazy and let it dry. When it dries it's bearable, the apple is there with an underlying bitterness. I'm normally an apple fan but there's some not to this that my nose doesn't like.


  2. In the bottle it's evergreen and spice with a hint of floral and smoke. Wet it's almost musky. When it dries there's a bit of spice left, a hint of mint, but the floral and smoke rule now. Unexpectedly pleasing, since on me floral normally turns to soap.


  3. To begin with I was slightly worried about this one since lemon tends to amp on me. In the bottle it was lemon verbena. Wet still the same though slightly sharper. As it dries it mellows out a bit, but I still only smell lemon. It's decent, but I'm not sure if I'd use it often.


  4. Wow, I was totally prepared to hate this. In the bottle it smells just of eucalyptus a scent that I despise. And wet the smell is still there. But as it dries it fades and leaves a fresh aquatic scent with hints of floral. It is a surprising beautiful blend. It does get a bit of a powdery note at the end, but I don't mind it.


  5. '05 bottle

     

    In the bottle I get the patchouli, with a bit of spice. There's even a hint of smoke and rum?!

     

    Wet the spice becomes overwhelming, like I just snorted pumpkin pie spice. As it dries it get's a little weaker, but by the time it dries it is still overwhelming. As it sits on my skin for a bit longer, the spice seems to relax a little, but I'm still not sure if I like it.


  6. In the bottle it's pure musk, almost overpowering. Wet the musk is still there but it gets a bit of sweetness to it. Dry it's musk with a floral that I would assume is magnolia. I actually like this one, but it gives me headaches.


  7. In the bottle I actually get a minty evergreen scent with a tiny bit of sweetness. Wet I almost washed it off because the lemon was so overpowering. Dry the lemon is still there though a bit tones down, but with some sort of bitter scent in the background also. Altogether not a great combination.


  8. In the bottle it's pine with a bit of menthol? maybe. On me the pine's still there and it has a bit of a sweet note too it. It's not something I'd have picked for myself but I like it, though it does seem a bit of a masculine scent to me.

     

    Oh and after a while, it truly starts to smell like dirt. But in a good way.


  9. In the bottle it's all butter and hazelnuts. Very sweet.

    Wet the vanilla comes out a bit and it starts to smell a bit like coffee.

    As it dries it tastes an almost spicy ginger scent. Is interesting, I keep sniffing it and trying to decide if it's too sweet or not. I wore it to work once and someone asked who put cookies in the oven. Made me laugh. So the jury is still out on this one.


  10. Wow this beat my expectations.

     

    In the bottle it was musk with a bit of sweetness in the background. As soon as it hits my skin the musk explodes, which had me worried, but as it tries the musk all but disappears leaving a nice fruity scent behind.


  11. This definitely didn't turn out like I expected. In the bottle I barely got anything, but it was almost like a sea breeze, very salty with barely a hint of the green tea. Wet on me the green tea explodes. When it dries it smells almost like baby wipes mixed with green tea. Not altogether unpleasant but definitely odd.


  12. Sigh, this is another one that I had such high hopes for. In the bottle it smells like cherries, but with a floral back notes that that give is a bit of sinisterness.

    Wet it ramps up a ton, is almost like walking into a perfume store. But as it dries down it gets weaker and eventually turns to floral powder on me.


  13. In the bottle it's almost all apple with just a hint of musk. Very pleasant and not overly sweet in anyway.

    When it hits my skin wet the hyacinth makes a small appearance. Nothing overwhelming, just a nice mix.

    As it dries the scent get's more and more faint. When it finally dries there is barely a hint of it left even when I put my nose right to the area and sniff.

    If makes me very sad that the scent doesn't last on my since it's one of my favorites in the bottle.
