2007 Rose Red
In bottle: Like leaning over to smell roses in the garden.
Wet: Green, thorns..eek. The green went very sharp on me, overpowering the rose.
Dry: Perfect. I love this stage, and it made surviving the attack of thorns and stems worth it. It dried to a very pretty and soft sweet rose scent. Not powdery/or grandmotherly at all.

Smelled like cinnamon in the bottle.
Wet stage on me, smelled like one of those big cinnamon fireballs.
As it dried it became this sweet woody cinnamon. Maybe that was the Anise coming out? I don't know, but it lasted a long time. I accidentally put it on instead of another before I went to work. After 8 hours in a kitchen I could still smell the squished jelly bean.
I want a bottle. Nothing else has ever outlasted 8 hours in our kitchen.

The imp smells like bubbly. Not the cheap kind, the good kind.
As it dried the grapefruit note came out, while still keeping some of the sparkle from the champagne. Reminds me of the note in Baobhan sith, but a little sweeter.
-
Wet on me: Sweet grass..and mint?
The grassy smell stayed as it dried, then went to powder. Arm kind of smells like wet meadow baby powder..odd.
-
The floral is really sharp and clean on me, it almost reminds me of when I used to bring my grandmother oriental lilies. Smelling my arm is sort of like putting my face in a vase of those flowers.
The flower smell stayed as it dried. Not a bad flower smell, I actually like the smell itself..just not on me.

Persephone
in Excolo
Sweet, juicy, and red. Tart at first, but it went away as the oil dried.
The rose wasn’t floral at all on me, it was there..just more like the smell of sugared rose petals. It was subtle.
It's a gorgeous scent. Very little throw on me.

Anyone know of any aquatic scents, maybe some with notes of citrus offhand?I tried La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente and loved it.
La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente : Soft, lush myrtle and dry, sweet melilot with wild rose, pomegranate juice and peach blossom against a background of deep aquatic notes and a twirl of melancholy autumn breezes.
June Gloom! The notes are: Bright summer flowers, fresh herbs, and a bit of citrus rind dampened by the scent of morning mist and rain. It is absolutely beautiful and still not too difficult to find.
hum..knew I should have ordered that.
Is moon rose aquatic like? the reviews almost sounded that way with their misty rose like description.

The Deep Ones is from A Picnic in Arkham.My favorite aquatics are Szepasszony: A chilly, tempestuous whirlwind of clear, airy notes, slashing rain, and a thin undercurrent of white flowers
and Lyonesse: Golden vanilla and gilded musk, stargazer lily, white sandalwood, grey amber, elemi, orris root, ambergris and sea moss.
Oh, thanks!
I have Lyonesse, it's very pretty (: I didn't know it was an aquatic.

I'm a big fan of The Deep Ones and Sea of Glass. I typically don't like aquatic scents (I find they go to dryer sheets on my skin) but those are two I really enjoySea of Glass - Upon the Sea of Glass, glowing with the perfection of spiritual union and the radiance of true wisdom, rests the throne of God. A scent of inimitable purity, crystalline grace, and limitless light.
The Deep Ones - Black algae, drooping seaweed, salty brine, and crushed coral.
I hope that helps!
Is The Deep Ones an LE? I can't seem to find it. Sea of Glass sounds really good though.
You might try Mag Mell - warmth of amber, the puissance of white ginger and the clarity of verbena, with fresh green grass, lush sage and cleansing droplets of summer rain.I love lemon ..and with rain..I should try that.
Shattered! White champagne notes, grapefruit, lotus, slivered mint and crystalline aquatic blooms. It's delicious (not that I've tasted it.... but.... it smells AWESOME). It's in Bewitching Brews.Shattered looks interesting, is the mint strong?

This is the first of the aquatics I've tried. I opened it and it smelled like sweet tarts all around me
On me: sweet tarts and flowers. Not sugary sweet though. Sort of newly cut flowers sweet.
I'd love this as a room scent.
-
The Kumquat and orange smelled kinda sweet and bright while the white pepper gave it a spicyness.
I like it!
-
I smelled the peach and rose in the bottle. It smelled wonderfull..
But once on, it was all osmanthus on me at least, a pitty..I love that fairytale.
edit: after it fully dried.. it smelled almost like cologne, something in it didn't agree with my skin :/ maybe the rosewood?
-
Implet: smelled like fruity bubblegum...juicy fruit.
At first the imp juicy fruit smell carried over, and then it phased into a sugary sweet white fruit wine smell with a scattering of flowers.
I don't like flowery smells normally..but I like this one., It's not a strong floral, or overly fruit. The two balance one another.
-
Extra implet. Was very woody at first on my hand then softened into a floral-ish gingery peach smell within a minute or two.
I don't think I had it on long enough to see if it was lucky
-
I got this as an extra imp.. it went all clove on me was like sniffing a bottle of cloves...really woody cloves.

Bottle: Jasmine
Wet: sharp green floral, Iris maybe?
Dry: Hm..the citrus seems to be hiding, and the floral isn't going anywhere except for a gradual decline into baby powder flowers.
