My experience with Snowblind was almost identical to Penance's - very strong when applied wet, almost akin to a "whoa, Vicks VapoRub" menthol smell. It faded within a few minutes to a delightful creamy mint. I'm in adoration.

Sn Rose

Oh yes, this is pure rose. This smells just like the wild roses that used to grow outside my father's house. I loved them.

SN Grape:

This smells like.. a combination of artificial grape (generally derived from pears) and real purple grapes. It reminds me of scratch n sniff stickers in elementary school.

SN Hyssop:

Hyssop starts off very light on me, and wafts in something that smells like a cross between some sort of green herb and a banana. I can't quite explain it.

SN Pikaki:

Definite tropical floral. It's very, very nice.

SN Heliotrope:

Wet: Strong alcohol.

Drydown: very soft, sort of a powdery floral. Almost vanilla but not quite.

SN Apple Blossom:

This scent reminds me of Prague or Phantom Queen.. it's that crisp apple smell that I get in both, and I love it so, so much.

Mabon:

Wet: Apple! Not a ripe, crisp apple but more like apple wine.

Drydown: Still a very apple wine scent, with an undercurrent of.. sage?

Longterm wear: This is a lovely autumn scent. I'd love it as a candle, but I doubt I'd wear it as a personal scent.

Tears:

Wet: aquatic.. moderately salty, but not quite an ocean smell.

Drydown: .. soapy. yech.

Longterm wear: Tears turns decidedly chemical and very soapy on me. Not for me.

Obeah:

Wet: Spicy. Just.. spicy.

Drydown: I have to agree with the other posters.. orange, clove and patchouli.

Longterm wear: This one's really nice. I'd probably buy it if it were to be released, and I'd wear it often.

Kweku Anansi:

Wet: smoke, ashes, resin? Very dark, moderately earthy.

Drydown: Aha - it's vetiver. Just barely there, but it's there.

Longterm wear: this is a very masculine scent, and it's far too earthy and heavy for this foody-scent-lovin' girl.

June Gloom:

Wet: Lemony goodness. Surprisingly, this one didn't turn to Lemon Pledge on me.

Drydown: lemony,-spicy, yummyness.

Longterm wear: June Gloom stayed with me for most of the day. It faded into a nice lemony softness, much unlike the Lemon Pledge experiences I've had with lemon scents. This scent is a great one. I don't know that I'd wear it often, but I love it.

Shattered:

Wet: mm, grapefruity goodness.

Drydown: fades almost instantly into a slightly fruity/powdery concoction.

Longterm wear: Oddly, despite the fact that Shattered went to powder, it's a fruity powder that I really like. It's a lot more gentle than I initially imagined.

Mi-Go Brain Canister:

Wet: What the spicy hell?

Drydown: This smells like something on a dusty shelf. After about 10 minutes, a sweet fruity yet slightly acidic smell wafts up.. grapefruit, perhaps? Either way, it's much better than right out of the bottle.

Longterm wear: All I get is just.. dust. Not for me.

Antique Lace:

Wet: soft. That's the first word that comes to mind. Soft. Mildly vanilla.

Drydown: This really does smell like linen.. soft linen from my grandmother's chest of drawers.

Longterm wear: The name really says it all: this really does smell like antique lace, without the mustyness and dustyness one might find. This is antique lace that's been handled with care. It's absolutely lovely. I'm sorry to hear that it won't be coming back.

I really had high hopes for Numb. I envisioned crisp winter air and a hint of snow.

What does it smell like on me? Soap. Particularly Dreft detergent. I also agree with the forumite that mentioned that it smells like something from childhood.. I'm not sure if it's Dreft, or perhaps Ivory.

Either way, while it's a clean, fresh smell, it doesn't smell cold to me at all.

Hexennacht:

Wet: What is that.. sassafrass?

Drydown: .. powder. Meh.

Longterm: Not for me. Pure powder.

Beltane:

Wet: Very green.

Drydown: Still very green. There's a crisp note in the background that's similar to Prague on my skin.

Longterm wear: A little too green for me, but still lovely.

Pink Moon

Wet: Strawberries!

Drydown: Strawberries and cream!

Longterm wear: It's sweet, but not my thing. A little too sweet on my skin.

Bathsheba:

Wet: mm, carnation.

Drydown: still very highly carnation.

Longterm wear: I never did smell the plum that everyone was talking about. I'll have to give this another try. It does, however, remind me of my mother's carnations.. they were always her favorite. Amazing how a smell intertwines with memory, isn't it?

Laudanum:

Wet: Sassafrassy sassy!

Drydown: I smell like rootbeer.

Longterm wear: baby powder rootbeer. Sad, I really thought this one could be a good one. Pass.

Hollywood Babylon:

Wet: sweet.. sticky, sugary sweet, like cherry bubblegum.

Drydown: faintly sweet, softly spun powdery sugar with cherry hints.. I don't smell the amber at all. Slightly musky.

Longterm wear: After an hour, Hollywood Babylon turned to amber-y baby powder. Holly Would if Holly Could, but Holly didn't stick around with me.

Damnation:

WHEW. The vetiver combined with the frankincense smells like some bizarre variant of patchouli. I can see why Penance loves this, but I'm going to have to pass.

Haunted:

Wet: incense, but faint. Musky incense. I'm waiting to get hit by the Amber wave, but it isn't happening.

Drydown: after about 10 minutes, there it is: amber, in great waves. My skin loves amber. In fact, it loves it so much that it's all I'll taste for about 2 days. Ugh.

Longterm: Not for me. Maybe someday I'll learn to appreciate amber, but not anytime soon.

Has No Hanna:

Wet: I detect some sort of watery florals..

Drydown: And then I smell something soapy.

Longterm wear: 2 hours later, I smell nothing at all. I tried this scent for smell only, and haven't tried it for its Voodoo properties. Perhaps another time.
