Coldfire

Decant: Ozone and cypress Wet on Me: Cyrpress and Ozone Love. Drying Down: More and more the Cypress comes to the front and balances the ozone. Dry: this gets faint and pretty fairly quickly. That said, tree/evergreen scents and ozone are some of my favorite notes and they play so nicely in this blend.

Decant: Man! Men's aftershave/cologne. Astringint without bitter or tart or overly sharp. Imp: More MAN! Men's scents are so clean and fresh and snuggable to me. Drying Down: Start to get that leather note in there now. Man and Leather go together and under my nose it just glows! Dry: All men's cologne and leather. This scent just rings my bell. I want to slather this all over my man and just jump his bones!

Soft, deep, and luminous: Lady of the Night orchid, benzoin, opopponax, currant, black chypre, white gardenia, ambergris, damp, wooded mosses, and black lily. Decant: orchids and gardenia Wet on Me: sultry, langourous, total night flowers. The lily so far is being held back from taking over completely. Drying Down: the sultry backs off a bit into something light. Dry: initmate throw. Nice lite flowers. Glad to try it.

Decant: Green. A greenhouse with fresh dirt Wet On Me: I get the thistle, snapdragon and heather along with the ivy. Drying Down: soap. I'm getting soap and all the other stuff. Dry: Green Deep woods Soap. Nice. something I might want to wear while walking through a forest.

imp: fir, cedar and faint leather Wet on Me: start adding smoke to the mix not too bad. Drying down: More of the woods and smoke than anything. I am a fan of the woody. Dry: Love this. Wood and smoke and leather and love. smells like a man! Love the smell of a man.

imp: Cocoa....heaven Wet on Me: cocoa and patchouli. mmmmm drying down: now leather joins the mix making this even more heavenly for me. wow! Dry: To keep! A blend of cocoa and leather and incense and patchouliand wonderful and wow! I'm not much for foodie scents but this is cocoa and not chococlate and it is noticable to my nose. LOVE!

Imp: lavender and lilac...and the green of the ferns Wet on Me: ROSE! The roes and lilac have already begun their domination only moments after application Drying Down: The ferns are trying to put up a valient fight against the mighty amping rose and lilac. Dry: Rose and Lilac won. The other notes never had a chance. If I could have something like this without the rose and lilac I bet it would be lovely. I'll re-home.

Imp: a caciphony of scents. Not able to pick one out before they dance away under my nose. Wet on Me: geranium. One of them stopped long enough and it was geranium. If I inhale deeply I get traces of the mint trying to catch space under my nose Drying Down: wow..this fades out fast. I get chost trails of mint and geranium and now passion flower...but your nose has to WORK to detect those. Dry: no throw. Just faint very quickly. No Cyrpess, no lavender, no orange blossom. Love love for Coldie Maybe my skin just does not want to hold it. Will re-home

Imp: Aquatic Flowers Wet on Me: Still aquatic Flowers. Total Hothouse blooms scent Drying Down: aaahhh that ozone-y frost note joins the dance with the hothouse blooms. Dry: No decay, no clay or stone, faint traces of incense if you in hale long and hard, but frosty aquatic hot house white blooms. This is aptly described and lovely.

imp: CLOVE! Clove and some red wine in the background Wet on Me: I love red wine but damn the Clove is just in yourface! Drying down: Still SUPER CLOVE! Dry: this smells like a clove pomander ball you hang in your closet. Nothing came out to play with me except the clove and it hogged all the toys inthe sandbox.

imp: Myrtle and Carnation on a nice bed of amber softness Wet On Me: More Amber than the flowers the moment it touches my skin. Drying Down: This went to amber and stayed there. Much as I like amber, it tends to take over with its sweet softness and nothing else gets a chance. Dry: Amber..All amber all the time. I think I'll rehome to someone whose skin does better with it.

Decant: I get the cranberries and some ginger on this Wet on Me: Still the cranberries and ginger and now musk peeks out to say Oh Hai! Drying Down: Lucky for me the lilly does not come out ot play so far. Still getting the fruitiness of the cranberry. Dry: This stayed nice. Did not go over the top. the lily behaved and stayed away from my amping self. All in All...nice

Decant: Orange Blossom and Mimosa Wet on Me: now add the benzoin and mandarin to the above mix. So far so good Drying Down: I'm getting sinister now. It is kind of 'off' a touch sour or dank. Dry: This starts of gorgeous but gets scary on me. I think I will re-home it.

Imp: old dusty and musty sweet with the tobacco Wet on me: I get the vanilla and cognac, but the sweetness is cut by the tobacco. Drying Down: This is not overpowering. It's still all of the above, blended wonderfully. Dry: This is a grande old dame who brought out her finest from years gone by, a tad dusty, but no less beautiful, seductive and charming all at once. So glad I got to try this one.

Imp: Light and 'happy" can't help but smile Wet on Me: A touch of sweet berry/fruit? Still smiling. Drying Down: Still happy fruity sunny sweet but not sugary sweet. Dry: Fruit stripe gum, which always made me happy and pixy stix mixed with liquid sunbeams. I can't stop huffing the spot on the back of my hand where I tested this. Keeper!

Imp: gardenia, aquatic and the ginger Wet on Me: a nice blend of the gardenia which is softened by the muguet and aquatic. It also keeps the white ginger from going over board Drying Down/Dry: this all blended into something light and soft and floral with a hint of ginger to kep it from going overboard. I like this one!

Imp: bitter/tart with faint traces of the orange. Almost orange peel like. Wet on Me: still that bitter/tart neroli/orange peel with tiny sweetness wanting to make an appearance Drying Down: the bitter/tart goes away and is replaced with the sweet blood orange and raspberry tempered by the neroli. Total summer fragrance Dry: This ended up a sweet summer cocktail on my skin. Not too tart and not too overly sweet. Love this. Would make a great body spray.

Decant: mostly chamomile in the container Wet on Me: okay some of the bourbon vanilla comes out now Drying Down: This is mellowing out into a sweet but not sugary sweet scent. Dry: Light and pleasant. Very glad I got a chance to try this one out!

Decant: mmm sandalwoods and light whispers of the musk and leather Wet on Me: ooooo the leather is becoming bolder. Drying Down: wow I love Beth’s leather notes. Dry: This is manly leather that has softened just a touch by the sandalwood. Such a keeper!

Imp: OMG GREEN! TULIPS! WATER! Wet on Me: Oh I love tulips…and peonies and aquatic….and grass. Just lovely. Perfect for a spring day. Drying Down: this blends together so well and makes my nose wax rhapsodic! Dry: lovely, delicate but not frail. This is made of win!

Imp: chocolate resin? Wet on Me: dry, tart, resin-ish Drying Down: dry, dusty almost less tart, almost sweet Dry: warm, dry, dusty, old, resin-y…lovely.

Imp: definitely green in impression Wet on Me: I like me some green herbal. I’m sensing there is more..but it needs to come out of the scent shadows and play Drying Down: faint but not too delicate. Green and clean. Almost soapy but not quite Dry: clean green. Thankfully no rose overtones. Touche of peony…no dark rooty thing tho. I like.

Imp: I get the sandalwood and the resin-y undertones of the incense and myrrh Wet on me: rose alert! Already wanting to overpower the other notes on me. Drying down: and it’s turned to canned air freshener rose and nothing else. Dry: rose. Rose and rose and it won’t let anyone else out to play. To re-home.

Imp: Musk and myrrh Wet on Me: resin-y and dark, and very sensual Drying Down; spicy musk and amber and man is that leather coming out to play! Dry: somewhat antiseptic in a good way. That leather and red musk and whoa! TO LOVE! Beth’s leather notes are awesome.

Imp: mmmmm bergamot and lemon and man Wet on Me: mmmm more bergamot and lemon and man Drying Down: total man’s cologne. Sexy man. Hot sexy man. Really smlling good hot sexy man. Dry: little bits of leather in this fine man scent. I want to slather this on my honey and just inhale him for hours.
