Wet: Really sharp peach, almost a little sour. It smells like the peach shea butter I bought from Body Shop once. It went so sour that I stopped wanting to wear it... hopefully this won't turn bad. Dry-down: Peaches and honey. The honey emerges slowly but it is so seductive. It rounds out the peach and makes me want to nom on myself. I don't know what skin musk smells like, but I'm sure it works on me because this scent is just lovely. Dry: Still peaches and honey, but with more honey and skin musk. I loooove this scent. I think this stays closer to the skin, but I don't mind as long as I can smell it myself. I don't get any apple or rose, but I like it as is. Also, I think I amp rose so I'm glad it didn't happen here. My brother's opinion: I got the thumbs up of approval. My cat's opinion: He didn't run away.

Wet: Huh? Toilet cleaner? There's something strange and lemony about it. Dry-down: Something spicy is starting to warm up the scent. Incense! I can smell that now. Cinnamon is coming out - not the scent, but it makes me think "spicy!" when I sniff it and my wrists feel sort of warm. Dry: The scent now is like walking through an open air spice market on a warm, sunny day. I don't think it matches my personality, but it's beautiful and I can't stop sniffing. I feel like dressing up for it. My brother's opinion: Indian incense shop. He likes it. He might try it sometime too.

My first review ever! Wet: Extremely sweet, refined sugar. Dry-down: There's something creamy now, and it smells like crumbly white cake. After a while, a bit of vanilla comes out, but it plays in the background and doesn't overwhelm. I can't really smell tea but there's something spicy (fougere?) that's emerging, and a soft, sweet lemon. Dry: Tea is starting to show up, but I wish there was more of it. It's still creamy though, and there's something in it that makes me think of a Victorian parlour with the curtains drawn open on a sunny day. Beautiful and evocative. Lemon disappears completely after a while. On my brother: It smells like sugar, and a bit of lemon. Mostly sugar, but in a bad way. Ultimately, he felt sick from it and went to scrub it off.
