In the vial: Black currant & cherry
Wet: Sweet black currant candy, almost overwhelmingly sweet.

Skin musk and honey, blood-red rose, orange blossom, white peach, red apple, frankincense and myrrh.
In the vial: Fruity, mainly apples. Red apples.
Wet: Apples & honey are the most distinct notes.

In the vial: This smells both sweet & sour at the same time, way too sweet

In the vial: Sweet & earthy. This smells very comforting.
Wet: Sweet, woodsy & earthy. This is what I imagine a forest would smell like.
Dry: This is one pine scent that I actually like. In here, the pine makes the whole scent smell fresh. Like walking into a forest after the rain. Fresh, sweet and the smell of earth.
Overall: I like this but not on me. For the room maybe.
