Coldfire

Decant: OOOO Bright Blackberry!!!!
Wet on Me: Blackberry with something spice-y wafting underneath.
Drying Down: sharp blackberry but good sharp blackberry
Dry: almost a boozy blackberry. not getting a dead leaves or rot note at all. Love this!!!

Decant: sharp rot of leaves. when you kick a pile of leaves and move the wet ones at the bottom of the pile
Wet on Me: okay NOW i get some lavender. Fighting it's way to be noticed from the dead leaves
Drying Down: lavender with that sharpness of the dead damn leaves. Mostly lavender tho.
Dry: the sharpness has morphed from 'rot' to turning the lavender into a colgne with a masculine bent. I was not sure I was going to like this at first but WOW! LOVE!!!

Decant: Patchouli, herbs and dark sweet fruit
Wet on me: herbs and dark sweet fruit with a slight touch of patchouli in the background
Drying Down: for lack of a better word this smells like a gypsy head shop. fruity, incense-y herby. All sorts of fabulous goodness
Dry: LOVE LOVE LOVE! this may not be my sign but damn it's good to me!

Decant: purple. it smells like purple. a combo of purple flowers and fruits
Wet on me: smoke and purple
Drying Down: definitely getting a sinister type note. that toxin over the sweet purple. More purple fruit than flower now.
Dry: dries to a soft fruity purple incense. lovely.

Decant: resinous dark fruit
Wet on Me: glorious resinous dark sweet fruit reminds me of walking in a Kirklands Store
Drying Down: lovely pomegranate and sultry resins. not only does this remind me a Kirklands but also your local metaphysical shop.
Dry: lovely! Could be bottle worthy!

2016 Third Charm

Decant: dark and heady and incense-y. Magick is afoot under my nose
Wet on me: Still dark and lovely. Hard to define a single note. It's all magick to me
Drying Down: this is a deep dark mystical scent that is just blooming under my nose. it keeps compelling me to put my wrist up to my nose and inhale deeply.
Dry: I am charmed alright. Under the spell of Third Charm. THIS is bottle worthy!

Imp: a gentle sweetness overlaying a faint spice-y ness
Wet on me: sweet. almost sasarparilla sweet. light but pleasant
Drying Down: the sweetness is softening and now getting a 'woody' note trying to rise to the surface....
Dry: the wood went away, mostly this soft powder-y sasarparilla sweetness. nice.

Imp: very faint whisps of the juniper that are getting trampled by the Rose
Wet on Me: faint chamomile and cypress, Rose is still hogging the scent light.
Drying Down: Rose, rose, rose. all rose all the time. very heady rose. heady air freshener rose. At least that is what my body does to rose. Amps it all to high heaven
Dry: sigh...just rose. I don't know if I will ever find a scent that has a rose note that does not amp on my skin something fierce. Rose notes do NOT play nicely with others on my skin.

Imp: Hello Violet!
Wet on me: Definitely violet nothing harsh, gentle and sweet violet
Drying Down: sweet genteel violet. Something dainty and off another era
Dry: pretty lil violet. nothing offensive, oh so feminine and dainty. Happy I got to try it.

Bottle: mmmm the woody vibe of the patchouli and the bourbon vanilla
Wet on Me: oh gods this is fabulous! so well blended. nothing too sugar-y sweet but a sweetness all the same with the patchouli
Drying Down: This smells 'nasty' in the best of all possible ways! this delicious patchouli and the bourbon vanilla making nice and nasty under my nose!
Dry: Oooof da! I'm so in love with this Nasty Woman. This is almost as beloved as my Banshee Beat!

Imp: Deep Floral Incense

Dry: This is dark but rose incense dark. I tried but it's not for me.

Imp: ooof Rose and waterlily
Wet on Me: the rose is wasting no time in amping to high heaven on me.
Drying Down: heady rose air freshener. Not letting any of the other notes come out and play under my nose.
Dry: rose. sigh.

Imp: dark swampy green
Wet on Me: Dark swampy green with the slight sweetness of the musk
Drying Down: Musk Over wet green
Dry: yup. real simple. Musk over wet green

Imp: Herb-y
Wet on Me: getting rosemary and organo
Drying Down: the oregano is starting to settle down and let the other notes come out to play. Starting to get faint traces of the floral notes.
Dry: soap. Herbal Soap.

Imp: floral incense
Wet on me: more floral. mostly carnation less incense.
Drying Down: getting some hints of herbs starting to mingle with the floral. The incense seems to be hiding right now.
Dry: mostly a powder-y floral with slight herbal hints. It was nice to try but probably something I won't keep or get a full bottle of.

Imp: kinda aquatic, lime, white flower-ish,
Wet on Me: faint soapy traces, aquatic, starting to get heady
Drying Down: ooo the water lilly is rising to the surface. Everythign is getting headier now. And almost a sour note to this.
Dry: This is really not for me.

Imp: mysterious, spice-y mysterious, lovely
Wet on me: more of the same from the Imp. everything is just blending and whirling under my nose so well. None of the notes are taking over, they are playing together so nicely.
Drying Down: OMGS this is amazing! Deep and rich, slightly sweet slightly spice-y. Ancient but not dusty. Regal.
Dry: oh this is a rich non-heady regal scent. Total keeper. I may need to track down more!!!

Imp: gentle carnation
Wet on Me: the softness of the sandalwood with the gentle carnation
Drying Down: soft, slightly spicy but not OMGS spicy.
Dry: gentle musk and sandalwood and carnation. seductive but not overwhelmingly heady and yet not meek either. You wear this with a secret smile.

Imp: Oh hello Lily of the Valley!
Wet on Me: Mostly the Lily of the Valley, with a touch of the mandarin. Heady as heck
Drying Down: the sandalwood is finally starting to come out and tellthe heady lily of the valley to stop hogging the scent.
Dry: Sweet. Sandalwood and vanilla. Lily of the Valley may be my birth flower but it is not kind to me

Decant: Rum and faint leather
Wet on Me: sweetness from the rum, very faint leather
Drying Down: ahhhhh there is the metal notes faint with the rum and leather.
Dry: I quite like this one. Masculine but not OH HAI I'M MASCULINE! Keeper!

Imp: Lavender and Lemon
Wet on Me: ooooo the veitiver is trying to sneak up on the Lavender and Lemon but this is still so very pleasant.

Imp: Gnarly Patchouli alrighty

Dry: This is interesting. I get citrus flowers, wood and booze all mingling together. This has a dark almost forbidden lusts vibe.
