  1. Wet: Wet/damp soil.  It doesn't have an incense-y back or undertone like some of their dirt smells.  I like it.

     

    Dry: Roses, dirt, and dry (not grassy) green.  The roses fade away slowly,  leaving the moss, leaves, and soil behind.

     

    This is definitely an atmospheric or mood setting smell.  

     


  2. Wet:  Vaporub? Pine, eucalyptus, something.  My skin is warmer wherever I put it.  There's a berry/fruit sneaking out. 

     

    Dry:  Leather.  That pine fruit thing...it's like Snow Bunny without sugar on top.  If not that one, it's one of the winter snow smells.


  3. Wet: Sweet honey out of the gate first, followed by leather and tobacco; incense brings up the rear.  I smell like dessert in a hookah lounge booth but I'm not mad at it.  This is a warm smell.

     

     

    Dry:

    L wrist - sweet incense and leather

    R wrist - honey, cinnamon, and smexy smexy leather over smoke

     

    I'm not sure if this is sexy campfire like @SophieCedar said (perfect for outdoor summer nights) or if this is the smell of impure thoughts, naughty touches, and questionable--but exciting--late night life choices....but I want to find out.  I also need to smell this on a dude.

  4. From the description, this is primarily gardenia with oakmoss (earthy) and tobacco leaf (earthy, woody).

     

     

    Wet -   This reminds me of 273 (which has gardenia as one of the top notes with sandalwood and cedarwood and earthy vetiver as base notes).  I need to find my bottle of June Gloom to compare with this because that one gave me the same feeling. 

     

    Dry -

     

    L wrist - All gardenia.

    R wrist - Gardenia and green or light earth


  5. Wet: Brimstone.  Hell-bound we are yes indeed-y.

     

    Dry: Is my skin broken? Somewhere on this diabolical journey we made a left turn at Albuquerque and it became sarsaparilla.  I LOVE sarsaparilla but that's not what I was expecting based on everyone else's reviews.  I'm assuming it's the rum and vanilla having a go.

     

    I like it.  I'm gonna wear it every time I practice.  Hopefully I need this and not help from the nearest crossroads to be a good bassist. 

     


  6. Got this in the mail from the lab yesterday.

     

    Wet: GREEEEEEEN EXPLOSION! Very aptly described.

     

    Dry:  No real difference between wrists.  This is absolutely an explosion of everything springtime.  I'd liken it to going to a nursery after they've watered: it's cool, things are not sopping wet but the sweet of the green bits is still there and the flowers are fragrant.  They're not overpowering or as overwhelming as they might be when it's hot and dry like they've been baking all day.  Does that make sense?

     

    That's a lot of words to say I'm huffing myself.


  7. Is "fuck me hair" a thing? If it is, any hair you put this on will become that.  I want to roll in this.  This instance of rose plays with the leather so well I'd say they're almost perfectly balanced.  

     

    This tester, too, has been taken hostage by DigitalMom.


  8. Like all things sweet, on me this is all sugar cloud at 50 paces.

     

    DigitalMom found this offputting at first--too sweet.  After it dried down, she enjoyed the creamy vanilla coconut sandalwood goodness that happened.  She has taken my tester hostage.


  9. Wet gardenia with a dash of salt.

     

    DigitalMom found it too overpowering for her tastes.

     

    I feel like it will be perfect for summer.  Gardenia is not a smell I usually find people are wearing during this time of year.  It is loud as hell on me but it's a change from the magnolia and jasmine I tend to favor when it heats up.


  10. It turned straight in to dirt, like a less sweet Earth Phoenix. 

     

    DigitalMom says it's not "dirt" to her but it's something clean.  Definitely not headshop or dirty hippie patchouli. 


  11. Wet: The smell I associate with a headshop--musk, sandalwood, something spicy--upfront.  All it's missing is incense.

     

    Dry: Holy cit...trus. Ok.  Citrus and sandalwood are talking now.  I enjoy this.

     

    Very dry: Citrus is mostly gone.  Rose and sandalwood have shooed everyone out of the house and are chilling post-party cleanup.


  12. Wet: clean white florals 

     

    Dry:

     

    L wrist - clean (powdery vice soapy), musky, sweet

     

    R wrist - clean, musky, sweet, and warm/spicy wood

     

    The dry flowers are very gentle.  They're not cloying or overpowering at all.  I'd almost call it a kind of innocent or innocuous vibe without being childish. 


  13. iWet: Earthy (oakmoss?) and a little seed-y.  There was the vague whiff of rotting for a moment.  Is that what's meant by "indolic"?

     

    Dry: 

     

    L wrist - some honeysuckle, more musky with a whiff of Playdoh.

     

    R wrist - soft powdery jasmine and musk

     

    Really dry:

     

    Both wrists are taking on that weird plasticky note.  I'm pleasantly flowery.

     

    I really had to get up close and personal to smell her.  I don't mind that: I don't always want to be huffed from six feet out.  

     

    Hrm.  She doesn't love me and I'm iffy on her.  I thought this would be more salty than it is but that's my bad for not reading.  This isn't a wild free swimming open-ocean mermaid.  This is contained and while pleasant, a little melancholy.

     

     

     

     


  14. Wet: BANANANANANANANANNANANA bubblegum. Guessing that's the mint making it weird powdery.

     

    Dry:

     

    L wrist - banana bubblegum/candy

    R wrist - banana, pineapple, and honey 

     

    Dry-dry: I smell like some kind of umbrella drink.

     

    I know I amp sugary scents so I shouldn't have been surprised.
