Wet it's strong, green and dark. Very masculine. It's a forest with wet pines.

 

Dry the rose comes out, but it doesn't make this scent more feminine...

I have to try this one in my boyfriend, and since we both love the Celtic theme (we live in the Celtic part of Spain) I don't think he will run away... but who knows. Gah, men!

Wet it's earth and mosses over a subtle floral bottom line and a hint of frankincense.

It's quite earty, like Zombie but without the roses.

 

Dry it's quite the same, a very interesting perfume.

A lovely frimp, thank you, lab!

 

Wet it's vanilla and cedar. Warm.

 

After a while sassafras and balsam come out, giving it a bitter-sweet touch.

This one is unisex and sexy for both genders.

 

Dry the cedar comes out, balancing with its dry touch the sweetness of the other notes.

Warm, sweet and very nice.

Wet it's blackberry over a bed of florals.

Rich and balanced, with the perfect touch of sweet fruit.

Very, very special indeed.

Wet it's very fruity: apricot, plum and a touch of pomegranade over musk.

Quite eatable.

 

Dry it calms down a bit and the orchid, iris and sweet roots come out.

 

It's a fruity-floral with apricot, soft and sexy.

 

ETA: This is a frimp from the lab, so thank you very much!

Wet it's chocolate, tobacco and a mix of flowers, all together.

 

Dry I can smell rose, hibiscus and tulip, some flowers I can't pick up and tobacco; no honey or chocolate. The next stage includes rose, lotus, osmanthus and a bottom line of wine and balsam.

 

A very nice, changeling floral. Maybe a big bottle.

Wet it's a strong floral-aquatic perfume, with gardenia, aquatic notes and muguet.

 

Dry it goes softer and the water blossoms come out along with the musk... but it looses strength, almost fades away. Not good lasting power in my skin.

A nice and good floral perfume, with gardenia in the leading rol.

Nothing more, nothing less.

This is not a dark blend at all!

 

Wet it's violet and neroli over the iris; soft, white, powdery and dry iris, green and sweet violet and the perfect, lovely and light citrusy neroli.

Sandalwood and musk make a nice bottom line without overwhelming the flowers.

 

Lovely, light and almost bright.

Wet the sweeter notes come out: vanilla, honey and clove over vetiver and musk.

 

Dry the wine and the poppy come out, and the cherry is shyly hidden behind the wine.

 

In my skin this one is in the middle of O and Blood, sexy and smooth. Lovely.

Light and soft floral, not what I would expect from it's name.

It has an acid bit in the bottom, not quite soapy... maybe verbena.
Balances quite well as it dries down.

I will edit later, due to lack of ideas.

Wet it's mimosa with a bit of fuits.

Sweet and floral, intense.

 

Dry it goes softer and the spices come out, making it really nice.

I am sorry but I can't describe it better (I will try it again and edit if I find out anything else).

I smell smoke and leather, making the dragon's blood less sweet.

A lot of smoke, strong and more masculine than the others Ars Draconis I've tried.

Worth a shot.

Wet it's green tea, sage and a touch of berries and blackberry.

Nice and fresh fruity scent with a touch of green.

 

Dry the fruits go stronger, but it's still balanced.

A good summer perfume, IMO.

Wet it's cinnamon, myrrh and the soft copal's touch.

Sweet and eatable, I remember the cookies I used to have when I was a little girl.

 

Dry the myrrh goes a bit stronger and just a hint of honeysuckle comes out.

Foody, not floral. Quite nice.

Wet it's all the flowers together, making a precious aquatic-floral bouquet, very romantic and even melancholic.

 

Dry the ivy comes out with the lily, making it more green and less sweet as the lotus looses part of its throw; very evocative.

 

Perfect for it's name, indeed, maybe a big bottle.

Wet it's anise, strong bitter-sweet anise, lichen and vetiver, followed by the leaves and civet.

 

Dry it goes woody, with vetiver in the first line.

Strong and quite personal, I have to say that it's not one of my favourites.

Also into the Voodoo Blends, you could try Strength and Temperance.

Another match: Seraglio and Black Magic.

Wet it's white tea and rose.

A precious floral (Beth has a special touch with florals, wether she likes it or not...), light and transparent.

 

Dry carnation comes out, making it sexy but just a bit (maybe this maiden has someone in mind to be her first? ).

 

Really a maiden's scent, lovely but not too girly.

Wet it's vanilla and narcisus with a touch of orange blossom.

It reminds me Snake Oil... (and I hate it).

 

Dry vanilla goes stronger but after a while all the scent turns softer and matches the skin with a warm feeling. This is the moment of the orange blossom to show up, along with the other notes.

Lovey rose scent!
Starts with a medicinal undertone, but dry it's bright and deep at the same time!
And it lasts quite a lot!

Wet it's opium and narcisus.

It's hipnotic and obscure, quite toxic!

 

Drying down the tuberose comes out, making it sensual too; I can also feel the poppy, but it's very subtle. It remembers me Gaultier's Fragile.

 

Sexy and narcotic indeed.

Wet it's musk, smoke and ambergris with a touch of leather and tobacco.

No sweet or creamy in my skin, it's almost minty (maybe some vetiver? I'm not sure). Masculine and rich.

 

Dry the leather and tobacco go stronger, but it has something poignant that I can't put my finger on.

Wet: no almonds or mazipan, but a creamy coconut note (like the I Should Coco soap from Lush, I'm not kidding)... maybe maple syrup.

It's subtle and light, with a very soft green touch (peppermint?) and white musk (everything is maybe in this scent, so light and etereal). Even melancholic.

It's special and reconforting, but not warm.

If it was a stone, it would be opal.
