Coldfire

Imp: musk and sandalwood
Wet on me: this is dark swirling headiness, all musk and incense
Drying Down: rapidly turning into baby powder incense. i tend to turn amber notes into baby powder.
Dry: the baby powder notes faded to a smooth incense scent.

Imp: light dusty musty floral like you would find at your Great Auntie's armoire
Wet on Me: still a dusty musty floral
Drying Down: okey dokey now. air freshener rose, lilac and bandaids.
Dry: yeah. Rose and Lilac teamed up to become bullies on my skin.

Imp: okay. cake. sugary cake
Wet on Me: cake cake cake. Cakeity cakes. I think I amp sugar scents. But we will find out!
Drying Down: less cake. slight vanilla. no currents....yet
Dry: vanilla cake. the currants finally came out of hiding but are only a shadow that adds a slight sharpness under the vanilla cake. I'm really not a foodie scent person. at least a baked goods foodie scent.

Imp: powdery musky rose
Wet on Me: ugh. man rose does not even wait 30 seconds before starting the full blown hate on my skin
Drying Down: yup. rose
Dry: still rose. still rose that hates me. I'll keep trying.

Imp: rose and jasmine are fighting to the death under my nose
Wet on Me: now I get that 'cat-pee' note people mention about and rose.....
Drying Down: Why does rose loathe me so? it's like I'm a red-headed step child
Dry: yuppers....I keep trying with rose and it keeps hating on me

Imp: oh hello lovely pomegranate! your color is sultry and sexy and lux. Your scent is the same
Wet on Me: oh lovely dark tempting pomegranate I do love how you love my skin
Drying Down: this pom is wonderful! really not getting the booze but dayum honey you wank!
Dry: By all the gods this is divine! I need a gallon of this to bathe in!!

Imp: dark and sleepy. powdery whisps from the musk
Wet on Me: only thing I can slightly pick out is the musk
Drying Down: oh c'mere shy patchouli I smell you in the shadows
Dry: this is dark and sexy and luxe but not sinister. It's dark temptation leading you on to....

Imp: thyme, lavender and faintest orange
Wet on Me: Oh Hai thyme! You will be most present under my nose, the mint is trying to reign in the thyme
Drying Down: Thyme grabbed her stompy boots and is stompin all over all the other notes making them stay away
Dry: Thyme. making me hungry!

Imp: Grass and carnations
Wet on Me: more chrysanthemum and carnation...the grass is fading
Drying Down: oh mother of god the rose and lily found my nose! here comes the headache.
Dry: yeah......I amp rose and I amp lily and they give me headaches every time. to the Trade pile!

Imp: Sage and Cedar
Wet on me: Much more cedar than sage on my skin initially.
Drying Down: not getting the bay leaf but the sage is keeping the cedar from really overpowering everything. Cedar can be such a strong note.
Dry: This is definitely a more masculine scent. the sage and cedar blend beautifully. I can't pick out the bay leaf but that maybe that note that blends the others together so we.. I like this!

Imp: totally getting the mandarin.
Wet on Me: citrus...sweet citrus but not sugar sweet. soft tempering the sharpness that citrus can bring
Drying Down: I think the fig is adding the softness almost a powder-y type note to the mandarin
Dry: light, happy, sweet soft mandarin.

Imp: mmmm dark, comfroting, tea and red musk
Wet on Me: still getting the tea and the red musk but getting the faintest traces of the mandarin. holy tish this is addictive and good
Drying Down: more red musk than tea right now. faint traces of the tobacco. Still adoring this one!
Dry: seriously lush, and sexy! heady but addictive. KEEPER!!!!

Imp: WOAH rose. air freshener rose
Wet on Me: ugh amping rose.
Drying Down: not getting any leather. my skin is amping this into epic proportions.
Dry: sigh. I keep hoping eternal I'll find a rose that works on me. but I keep amping rose notes to high heaven and they come back to me as rose air freshener. I never got the leather and that makes me sad.

Imp: green. green and traces of salt
Wet on Me: green. tears and that odd note that is slightly coppery. Blood?
Drying Down: the sharp tang of the blood, the salty tears and that green note are all dancing a ring around the rose-y under my nose.
Dry: this has dried to smell like old scented drawer liners. The kind you found in an older relative's home where they kept their hankies. It's okay but not for me.

Imp: dark, slightly heady, mysterious
Wet on Me: woods and opium. so far so good.
Drying Down: it's got a sweet but not sugar sweet powdery vibe going now. less opium less forest
Dry: powder. I wish this was more like a forest when all was said and done. but it's powder. alas.

Imp: Lime and violet over some wood notes
Wet on Me: more violet over wood now
Drying Down: mellowing out now. I detect the faintest trace of lilac but the violet and wood are keeping it from amping and going bad on me.
Dry: I get sweet and wood from the tonka, the violet has softened now to a sweet feminine masculine scent.

Imp: I get a metallic feel but a deep warm gleaming metallic
Wet on Me: getting the amber note before it turns to powder and the cedar
Drying Down: amber and cedar and working together I get gleaming metal ooooh wait! Helloooooo Citrus!!!!
Dry: This is fabulous. This is the rail car from the old Wild Wild West series. warm, rich, glowing, metal. I adore this!!!

Imp: dark almost medicinal sharpness which I chalk up to the evergreens and the clove and mint are the medicinal over the orange blossom
Wet on Me: This is a dark forest in the middle of the night. a touch spooky. more mint now over the tobacco and trees
Drying Down: ahhhh there is the powdery notes of the black musk. black musk, evergreen, faint faint clove, smells dark and 'old'
Dry: I can't hate this. Smells 'old' 'ancient', dark, hypnotic, mesmerizing!

Imp: dark herbal and sweet
Wet on Me: mmmmm i get that dark herbal with the pale foundation of honey sweetness.
Drying Down: oooh oooh oooh the honey note is overpowering the dark herbal note. not sure about this....
Dry: I'm sad. It's mostly honey on me with a faint trace of the nightshade herbal note. I'm not always fond of honey scents. I think I amp them bad.

Imp: bubbly oceanic aquatic
Wet on Me: Oh hi! Why do you smell like a happy scent? a happy bubble ocean water lil scent
Drying Down: the ocean/aquatic note is less prominent now, but I'm getting the bergamot and ambergris now. This is still a bubbly happy scent
Dry: Sweet, seaside, floral happy scent.

Decant: Sharp deep dark boozy black cherry. Not quite sinister but definitely leaning to the dark side
Wet on Me: oh hello black cherry. getting a faint ghost whisper of the cream and the blackberry is gently rounding it out.
Drying Down: The sharp dark black cheery has mellowed big time now it's a dark berry tinged sweet cream under my nose
Dry: okay that dark black cherry sharpness came back a wee bit at dry but tempered or evened out by the cream. This is a fun kicky scent!

Imp: creamy aquatic? but not sweet. creamy aquatic
Wet on Me: definitely an ocean/sea note. fresh. upbeat
Drying Down: this is fresh sea water that has this creamy undertow base. not treacherous or dangerous, but more the sand bed the ocean flows over
Dry: the milk keeps this from going 'brine-y' this is fresh and lovely. not heady or to whispy.

Imp: sickly sweet "cherry" almond scent
Wet on me: still getting that cherry almond with the hazelnut undertones.
Drying Down: drying the cherry part goes away and now I get nuts and honey sweetness.
Dry: nuts and overly sweet honey. no rum alas

Imp: Sniffin the imp I get the lavender and the eucalyptus
Wet On Me: oooooo mostly lavender when first applied. The Lab does such terrific lavenders
Drying Down: the eucalyptus is ramping up now. giving it a medicinal sharpness to the lavender
Dry: wow. once dry this gets very'quiet'on my skin really faint kinda sweet lavender. perhaps the licorice finally softened the sharpness

Imp: sweet but floral. not a pure white floral a kind of yellow green floral and sweet
Wet on me: now the yellow-green floral is wafting harder than the sweet. not a complete 'sugar' or 'honey' sweet
Drying Down: oh the swwet is back over the floral which is more green floral almost a sharp herbal floral
Dry: Sweet. can't quite describe the sweet. and far underneath is the sharp herby green. Glad I got to try this one.
