Imp: clean is right!
Wet on Me: Clean. faint traces of rosin and motor oil?
Drying Down: This is such a curious scent! yes it smells 'clean' not getting the tobacco just yet. But I think it's the Greasepaint and rosin I'm getting. Definitely masculine.
Dry: it's sweet now. But not fruity or sugar sweet. I think it's the sweet of the leather and rosin and tobacco. Reminds me of a gentleman's library almost! -
Decant: very very earth. Vetiver earth and the sharp heat of ginger
Wet on Me: Ginger!! Oh Hai Ginger!
Drying Down: Totally getting ginger kinda cinnamon-y cider. A lot less of the vetiver type scent.
Dry: This sharp bubbly ginger-y apple-y almost cinnamon-y cider. Kinda Cool. Also smells like something I would want in an atmo spray or candle! -
Imp: clean herbal-y floral
Wet on Me: very light scent. ethereal very well blended as I can't pick out any one note more than the other.
Drying Down: the white peppermint seems almost ghost like as it wafts under my nose. With scents that have lavender my nose usually picks it out right away. But the florals are all playing so nicely together.
Dry: This is a light and airy floral scent. Not a white floral or aquatic....but a light shimmery ethereal scent that truly reminds me of my beloved fairie festival! -
Bottle: Dark, sweet and a slight hint of earthiness. heady to the nose.
Wet on Me: still heady and lovely. that medicinal dark formula vicks 44 cherry scent
Drying Down: aww yeah the patchouli is starting to make itself known under my nose sop dark sharp cherry and the sweetness of cassis doing some dirty dancing with the patchouli.
Dry: this is almost sinister in that dark dark cherry/cassis/spicy/patchouli blend. So loving this!!!! -
Imp: Incense and wax and the faintest trace of rose
Wet on Me: whew....going heavy rose. All the other notes ran away and are hiding right now. Hoping dry down is better.
Drying Down: Nope. All Rose. All amped up all the time.
Dry: Rose. I amp rose badly. Glad this is only a decant and not a bottle. I had high hopes for this one. -
Imp: Clean Astringent Lavender
Wet on Me: Still a very clean astringent-y lavender
Drying Down: starting to get that faint trace of the baby powder I smell with amber notes. It's softening the sharpness of the lavender making it soft and warm and almost fuzzy. Like a soft fluffy fuzzy blanket.
Dry: Delightful. What started out as sharp has softened down to this comforting blanket you wrap around yourself when you head downstairs on a cold blustery morning. TO KEEP! -

Sweet. not sugar or baked goods in your face sweet but yes as mentioned above a 'juicy' sweet. and the hints and promises of leather notes below trying to come forward and greet your nose. it blooms soft and sweet. Quite lovely.
-
Notes provided by Geeks Doing Good: Well worn leather and a swirl of spices.
Old. First thoughts when sniffing are old. Old and musty masculine and wood. It's like there is a booze or medicinal note trying to come thru when you take a deep whiff. The more it starts to dry down the more of an old musty bourbon type note I get. And dust. Almost like discovering a hankerchief tucked away back in a chest or trunk. An old musty masculine cologne. -
Notes provided by Geeks Doing Good: Fresh rain, crushed grass, road dust, and leather, with and elusive hint of pale petals.
In the Bottle.....Green. Herbal-y Green. with some aquatic and white flower notes. Very lush jungle type of scent. On me it gets greener and headier and more luscious. Sharp but not medicinal sharp. Heady sharp. -
Hi all! Is Switch Witch still a thing? I've been away for a few years but always loved doing the swaps. Thanks!Edit: Reading is good. Question answered!
Was just going to answer you....it IS still a thing. Watch this space......

In the Bottle: fizzy sweet tarts!!!
Wet on me: Sweet tarts dropped in 7up!
Drying Down: Happy Fruit-y goodness.
Dry: smooth light happy fruit sunshine on me!
you just can't be sad wearing a scent like this! This Bitch LOVES this Unicorn!

Black Currant and Pomegranate are must haves for me...so I just HAD to order this
Bottle: mostly sandalwood. Almost astringent-y
Wet On Me: okay now I'm getting the faintest whiff of fruit with the sandalwood
Drying Down: less sandalwood now. It's fading into the background to make a soft cushion for the berries to bloom
Dry: soft. a soft cloud of dark fruit gently whisped by the sandalwood. the astringent-y notes have gone way far away!
and I tipped the bottle over on my desk at work and just lost half of it

MUST. HOARD. ALL. THE. RR Hairgloss!!! because DAYUM! I adore adore adore my BB but to have this has a HG? It's my go to Hair Gloss almost daily! I have thin fine hair but I find that a couple of spritzes on my wet hair makes it easy to detangle before blow drying!. Then the heat from the blow dryer seems to activate it and I'm walking in a lovely RR/BB cloud of goodness!
-
Seriously this thing is just total LOVE! First sniff and I swoooooned with the goodness! and I agreed with everything Jola said. Considering most of my HG's have been patch heavy I very happily surprised how lovely this fruity one is!
-
this new version kinda reminds me of my beloved Makhanitis. It's not replaced Makhanitis or Banshee Beat is my favorite but dayumn it's ranking up there! Just lovely deep red dark fruity goodness on me! I may have to order a few more bottles. And yes...it smells fantastic NOW...but I can't wait to smell this one aged!!!!
-
I have a couple of bottles of TKO v3 that I ADORE! But when TKO Atmo spray became a thing to order? TKO ALL THE ATMO SPRAY! I bought 2 bottles and I should have gotten more. Because DAYUM! This is a perfect balance of lavender and the marshmallow! This is divine sprayed on my pillows at night! Not too overpowering but just right to help me drift off to sleep and fall back asleep during the many times I wake at night.

So, it's mid-August...'Weenies will go up before we know it...any chance of a righteous, solid, full-blown Halloween Switch Witch???
yes.
Coldie, are you saying yes because you might be one of our fearless ringleaders in this endeavor, or simply because like me, you're hoping for a good old fashion Halloween SW???
Both! Been a Ringleader for a while now, but I do need a good Weenie SW!

Snape smells of herbs and oils and incenses and dust from his Potions room and classroom
McGongall smells of baddassery!
She smells of books, and perhaps a touch of wax, and maybe some smoke from the time she said boom!Now....the Great Hall....can you imagine how the Great Hall would smell? Pumpkin juice and candle wax, polished wood, yummy sweets and treats and a feast!

Imp: Blast of GREEN!!!!
Wet on Me: Oh Hai Green! Green and soil
Drying Down: Still so very green. Forest-y green not aquatic green.
Dry: only after drying and settling do I get the incense notes with the Green. This is green but ancient with a touch of sweetness from the incense.
