    Pumpkin King

    In Vial: Spicey pumpkin pie Wet: Cinnamon, clove, pumkin, vanilla maybe. Lightly sweet, somewhat foody. Scent is very light, barely imperceptible. Dry: The cinnamon is not very strong in this. Seems buttery sweet pumpkin.

    Schrodinger's Cat

    In Vial: Lemony Wet: Lovely lemon, lime, citrusy with lavender in the background. This is a light, fresh, wispy scent. Fizzy, almost reminds of clear carbonated soft drinks(7up, Sprite). Dry: Smells similar to wet, sugared citrus with something fizzy. The lavender serves to ground the blend. I never did smell the chocolate peppermint but maybe that was a good thing. It was the one note that almost scared me away from trying this scent.

    Three Witches

    In Vial: warm cinnamon baked goods Wet: Just lovely! I think this is the best cinnamon scent I have ever smelled. It is sweet cinnamon and cooked fruit (apples or pears). Dry: Still wonderful cinnamon and baked goods. I think I am smelling a hint of vanilla in the background. This is awesome.

    Brimstone

    In Vial: Strong Wet: This is another strong vetiver blend, earthy. Dry: As this settle it smells more like old moss and dirt. The vetiver screams in this one. *For Vetiver Lovers Only*

    Blood

    in vial: rich, darkly sweet wet: this has depth. leans toward masculine. I can smell all the notes. The clove gives this a hint of spice and compliments the myrrh and db. dry: this has depth, richness and smells very red. I am generally not a fan of dragon's blood so I should have known this would not be for me.

    Manila

    In Vial: mmm. yummy fresh fruit Wet: light, fresh and fruity. Like others have said this smells tropical. It is becoming more floral now, more floral than fruity. Drydown: This smells similar to other bpal scents I have tried. Not exactly what I was looking for, it becomes more floral than tropical.

    Mi-Go Brain Canister

    In Vial: fresh juicy fruits Wet: this is wonderful, fresh, wet fruits with a backdrop of jasmine. Uh oh. This is smelling like baby powder on me. Drydown: This gets a little better on and smells like jasmine and berries, but I still miss the juicy-ness of the fresh fruits.

    The City in the Sea

    In Vial: Fresh, clean, a tiny bit masculine Wet: Watery notes and light men's cologne. This is not salty like many aquatic scents are. Now I'm getting the violets, hope this doesn't ruin it for me. I don't like strong violet blends. I do smell the ivy in the background lending the *tiniest* hint of green. DRY:Still fresh. Not a heavy scent. A mix of water and green.

    Tiki King

    In vial: lemon Wet: smells like lemon cleaning product dry: Now just smells like a cleaning product with something darker. Either the bark or black coconut. I don't prefer this one.

    Tiki Queen

    The first time I tried this I thought it was ok, but I began to crave (for lack of a better word) the smell of this scent and now I love it and want a bottle which I can't find. Smells like vanilla bubblegum at first on me and then morphs into a butter coconut that leaves me with the *impression* of pineapple. I hope this makes sense, its difficult to describe what this fragrance does for me. All I know is I enjoy smelling it. ADDED Aug. 18: In Vial: Yummy fruit with almost a hint of butterscotch Wet: Mmm. this is good in a light foody sort of way. I smell the coconut and vanilla. This isvery smooth. Dry: Even though there is no pineapple in this, there is the hint of it. This gets less foody as it dries. It is a playful scent but for grown-up fun!

    In Vial: this stinks! wet: Has an edge of vinegar and some sweetness. dry: this has turned out very nice and mellow. I like it.

    Shattered

    In Vial: This smells incredible Wet: The mint is so light. Gives it an incredible crispness. So clean with a tiny bit of something dark underneath which keeps this from smelling overly "pure". Dry: The grapefruit really comes out now and while I like grapefruit notes, I don't like it in this. It kills it for me.

    Empyreal Mist

    In Vial: Very fresh Wet: Light, almost smells like nothing. Now its getting stronger. Smells very clean without being soapy. Dry: This is so light I can hardly smell it. It dries close to something like light perfume.

    Silence

    In Vial: Tiny bit of green freshness Wet:Stronger, smells like leaves and flowers Drydown: This is floral but not in the usual way. It is not super sweet and has the scent of herbs or weeds in the background.

    Men Ringing Bell with Penises

    In Vial: smell the rice wine and a gentle sweetness Wet: This smells unusual to me, but its nice Drydown: Softer, mellow. Very feminine. This is smelling more familiar from something long ago but I have no idea what. This is very nice.

    Havana

    In Vial:sweet floral and cigarette smoke Wet:sweet floral, a little mossy-ness tones it down and keeps this blend from being too sweet. Drydown: This gets sweeter and is a pretty standard floral ADDED Nov. 10: in vial:sweet wood wet: smells a bit masculine. I think it's the wood note. There is also a sweet herbal note getting stronger.
