Coldfire

 

 

 

Decant: slightly spicey, nightblooming flowers with evergreen traces underneath

Wet on Me: still more of what I smelled in the lil vial. so far so good!

Drying Down: I got this woody-herbaly-nigth blossoms floral blend. Made me feel like I was outside in the woods under the bright blue moon

Dry: This settled into a pale faint blend of what I got from drying down. Very nice.

 

 

 

Imp: sweet and dry

Wet on Me: Wrigley's Juicyfruit gum? Now I want gum!

Drying Down: The Juicyfruit has disappeared now. getting that rise of baby powder and sandalwood

Dry: mostly sandalwood and babypowder now. not so much the lotus or resins. Not bad.

 

 

 

Imp: I get green. A lovely fresh non-soapy green

Wet on Me: green and resin. Faint ghosts of basil under my nose

Drying Down: Green and the powder of musk.

Dry: the resins were overtaken by the musk. Never got any leather this faded to something faint very quickly.

Imp: jasmine over rose.

Wet on Me: jasmine over air freshener rose to my nose
Drying Down: oh boy the rose is taking over
Dry: this dried into air freshener rose for me. man my skin and nosedoes not like rose. oh Noes!

 

 

 

Imp: I get the musk and something with a spicy vibe, the opium? and a thrid thing. must be the civet. Never smelled that before

Wet on Me: the spicy opium over the musk mostly now. And the civet seems to be trying to say "Oh Hai" to me

Drying Down: Heady is right. The opium musk tag team is just taking over under my nose.

Dry: the is mysterious and exotic. I am loving this!

 

 

 

Imp: definitely tropical and wood

Wet on Me: coconut? banana? palm perhaps? dark green evocative of the jungle

Drying Down: less coconut and more wood now. With the faintest trace of something floral. This reminds me of the palm trees we had growing around me when I was a young kid

Dry: this did not end up as it started out. it's nice. Not bottle worthy, but nice!

Imp: Salty tears over roses is right
Wet on Me: the salty tears vibe is what is so far keeping the roses at bay for me.
Drying Down: the saly aquartic keeps the roses from amping like they usually do on me.
Dry: I still have a hard time with rose but this fades instead of amps on me. this almost goes soapy.

 

 

 

Imp: hints of honeysuckle and orchid over the faintest traces of the musk and amber

Wet on Me: definitely a floral. light floral tho, not overly heady

Drying Down: getting a soapy scent now

Dry: this is one of those soft wispy floral soaps your grandmother used to keep in her unmentionables drawer. nice.

 

 

 

Imp: I get the loam/earthy part of this

Wet on Me: more dirt but something soft and feminine under that

Drying Down: the earthy scent/not is fading and I'm getting a sweet almost vanilla-ish note now.

Dry: Not dreaful at all!

 

 

 

Decant: Oriental fruity floral. Breathing deep I can get the peach and plum blossom and some of the narcissus

Wet on Me: Still getting more of the same. So far so good.

Drying down: this is a fruity floral. A sweet one. I get peach and plum and the orange which balance the floral nicely and keep it from becoming too heady.

Dry: very nice blend. Soft and perfect for a summer evening.

 

 

 

 

Imp: sweet musk and sandalwood.

Wet on Me: a rather interesting scent. I get cassia, sandalwood, the red musk and the sugar cane. The blend is interesting.

Drying Down: this fades out very quickly.

Dry: I got faint faint musk/cassia/sweet/sandalwood. Not bad. Glad I got to try it.

Decant: I get the cane, cassia and cinnamon
Wet on Me: more of the same.
Drying Down: still cinnamon and cassia and now some of the frankincense shows up to play
Dry: spicy with a hint of the resins. mostly the cinnamon and cassia over everything. nice but probably will trade or frimp.

 

 

 

Decant: a bright and sunny floral. like a field of wildflowers

Wet on Me: still a bright and sunny floral with an almost aquatic undertone

Drying Down: Lovely wildflower field with a slight herbal-y and aquatic undertone

Dry: This is the perfect light wildflower scent. divine.

 

 

Decant: metal/ozone and the tobacco and faint traces of the men's cologne

Wet on Me: a bit more metal/ozone scent and the men's cologne is blooming on my skin

Drying Down: less of the metal/ozone and now the polished woods and tobacco are blending with the men's cologne

Dry: What IS it about men's fragrences that drives me soooo swoony? This is just the love and I may need to seek out more! Well done!

 

 

Decant: swampy and musty and woody

Wet on Me: more swampy and musty. really faint touches of floral under the cypress

Drying Down: the woody/swampy/musty scents have gone and wafted away and the floral notes are quietly blooming.

Dry: This started out dark and brooding and somewhat malevolent and ended up a sweet light floral. Lovely.

 

 

 

Decant: dusty vanilla floral

Wet on Me: fainter vanilla now, but more sandalwood and I'm still getting the floral bits

Drying Down: the sandalwood is there but softer. the vanilla has faded and the florals never seem to get rowdy on this.

Dry: soft and pleasant. this is nice. But I think this may go in my frimp pile.

 

 

 

Decant: I get the mint, and metal/ozone. Also faint trails of neroli

Wet on Me: mint, less metal now, less ozone and more of the neroli and violet

Drying Down: the mint seems to be hiding mostly. Getting the violet, neroli and sage more than anything.

Dry: different. not a true floral, not overly herbal, Smells a bit like my garden.

 

 

 

Decant: aquatic-y with some clean cucumber in this

Wet on Me: FAB U LUST! clean and aquatic-y still and that cucumber.

Drying Down: some mint starts to bloom a bit in this and then the men's cologne vibe comes to play. This is wonderful.

Dry: this stays for a long time, the throw diminishes a bit but the stay ....stays.

 

 

 

 

Decant: dark oil in the vial. Just as dark and lush when I open it for the first sniff. Here kitty kitty.

Wet On Me: Dark, lush, tropical cut with spice. heady.

Drying Down: the musk so wants to come out and be baby powerdish all over everything but the spices and resins are keeping everything in check.

Dry: Not as dark and lush as the initial aplication but still dark and still lush and heady. This makes me wanna go prowl and stalk something...or someone!

 

 

Decant: I opened the vial and this came slithering and wafting out. More herbs than resin for the moment:

Wet on Me: still a bit more herbal, faint traces of spice/resin and becoming hypnotic

Drying Down: More spicy now than herbal. A good resinous spicy. Tempered a little by the vibe of age.

Dry: nice. Everything it is described.

 

 

Decant: Man! astringent-y but not too sharp

Wet on Me: more man now. Waiting for the leather

Drying Down: Not getting the leather yet for this. I love leather notes and Beth does them so wonderfully. Stil getting a man scent. Which I'm not minding.

Dry: The leather never came out to play for me

Imp: very Cherry!

Wet on Me: STill cherry with the promise of something deeper

Drying Down: The overpowering almost almond-y scent of WOW Cherry is mellowing and the red musk is balancing it.

Dry: now I mostly only get the red musk. When wet this thing is very heady. Dry it mellows to something nice.

 

 

Bottle: dark and resinous is correct .

Wet On Me: I get more myrrh and benzoin before I get the black musk so far.

Drying Down: the musk which turns to baby powder on me is being held in check by the resins. This smells like finding a vintage dress in a trunk in your grandmother's attic. Lovely, a wee bit dusty, dark and full of untold memories.

Dry: some of the musk comes out to play once this finally dried. Still has that 'vontage' vibe around it.

 

 

 

 

Bottle: mostly cream

Wet on Me: mostly cream still , but faint touches of sarsaparilla that haunts my nose.

Drying Down: As this was drying I got a sawdust scent. Perhaps what an old saloon would have smelled like?

Dry: the cream has mellowed and the sarsaparilla has gotten over being so shy and the 2 are playing together nicely over a sawdust base. I like this!

Bottle: Male. Vanilla and Lavender leather Male.
Wet on Me: I get faint whispers of the clove now but still this lovely vanilla and lavender on leather. Such a man scent. LOVING!
Drying Down: This gets better and better as it dries. Spicy lavender Leather. with now faint traces of the vanilla sandalwood. Still smelling like man. All Man. I would imagine that James West would wear this!
Dry: FAB U LOUS! This mellowedd and merged into this lovely all male all old west male scent. My nose is now attached to my wrist! KEEPER! Beth does the BEST leather scents!
