    Burial

    In Vial: Astringent, medicinal Wet: Dried leaves and vicks vapor rub. Wow this is really medicinal. Dry: This has changed significantly. Still smells like dried plants, herbs and weeds. Reminds me of a funeral bouquet has died and dried. Very true to name.

    Bess

    In Vial: Smells weird, like mint chocolate. Wet: Sharp. I don't even know what this smells like. I think it's floral but not typical Dry: Now it has mellowed to something recognizable. Definitely roses.

    Bastet

    In Vial: Sweet and juicy Wet: Cherries and something else but mostly cherry. Dry: Cherries have fainted but still perceptible. Floral is the strongest. ADDED Jan. 11: in vial: sickly sweet with almonds wet: same sickly sweet smell with more almond oil. Reminds me of the way home made cherry pie smells but without the foody aspect. Almost like a cherry pie perfume. Morphing now to something that smells more like perfume. Not so sickly sweet. I cannot distinguish the individual notes, or could possibly be I don't realize what I am smelling. I know the almond has faded. dry: I"m not sure how to describe the drydown result. It reminds me of perfume on a hot summer day after you have been sweating. This one is not for me.

    Siren

    In Vial: Strong and offensive Wet:This is awful. I will see if I can describe this- bandaids, medicine, chocolate and stained wood. I am really surprised this is what I am getting considering the notes. Doesn't make sense to me. Dry: This has gotten lighter but to me still smells terrible.

    Asphodel

    In Vial: strong floral Wet: very flowery. Reminds me of my grandmother. She loved flowers. Dry: Smells like lemonade and flowers. This reminds me of drinking lemonade on the front porch smelling flowers in the yard.

    Cathode

    In Vial: light and fresh with a hint of lemon Wet: Subtle mint in the background and something that smells like pine-sol. Dry: This has gotten a little soapy and fresher. The toilet cleaner has dissapated. Nice light and fresh.

    Tiger Lily

    In Vial: Soapy floral Wet: Oh this is nice. I don't usually like florals. This is getting a bit powdery. Now it is baby powder. It has gone downhill fast. Dry: Yeah this is mostly a powdery floral with baby powder. On me this is headache inducing.

Her scent is that of softly glowing skin, jasmine, buttercup and honeysuckle. In Vial: Sweet, soft floral Wet: Super sweet floral. I smell the butterup the strongest. Dry: I don't usually like florals so this is not for me. It is a typical floral.

    Ravenous

    An utterly feral, thoroughly rousing perfume. Red patchouli sweetened by orange blossom. In Vial: Strong, deep and rich Wet: I don't like patchouli but I guess the red is different. I smell the orange blossom, it is like a light spray of orange mixed with a deep rich scent. In the background I get a hint of bandaids. Not sure what that is. Dry: Gets lighter . Orange blossom becomes stronger. Bandaids fade.

    Anne Bonny

    Kill-Devil

    In Vial: Sweet foody plus vinegar - strange Wet: Sweet sugared nuts. This is Christmas foody smelling to me. More clearly now this is smelling like roasted pecans. A small hint of carmel sweetness and lemon, but more along the lines of lemongrass rather than a citrus lemon scent.
