In Vial: smells like cookies

Wet: Foody-chocolate gingerbread cookies

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.

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.

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.

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*

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.

in vial:sweet floral

wet: Not sure which flower I am smelliing but this is really nice.

dry: I usually do not like florals but this is so lovely. It smells a bit green to me. As far as florals go this is *the one*

In Vial: Lemon tea

Wet:Lemon with grapefruit and florals.

Drydown: Light lemon scent with the tea and grapefruit blended in. I never did smell the mint or the leather.

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.

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.

In Vial: Sweet and pine

Wet: Yes still pine and the sweet note that I cannot seem to detect. It is also in snow moon.

Drydown: Fades and is a lighter sweet of the mysterious sweet note.

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.

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.

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!

definately cherry. The anise is coming out stronger which balances the cherry

dry: This is licorice and cherries

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Vial: Wonderful fresh fruit

Wet: This is soo juicy

Drydown: Rose with a hint of fresh fruit

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.

In Vial: Strong perfume, a bit manly

Wet: Even stronger. Smells like old perfume

Drydown: This is still strong perfume with a hint of wood.

In Vial: Whoa! super strong perfume

Wet: Oh man! Smells like an old lady.

Drydown: Thankfully this calms down to a medium scented floral.

In Vial: green, clean , slightly astringent

Wet: Wow! This smells strong. Smells very woodsy with a mix of man's cologne

Drydown:This smells more manly to me. It still smells woodsy but I'm not gettig pine.

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.
