Got this off LJ. In the imp: heady, sweet honey and ylang ylang. Uh-oh. Wet on skin: Holy crap, the ylang ylang is coming on strong. I don't think I like this. No sign of the apples or roses I was getting so excited about. Drydown: The rose is peeking through, but barely. I know it's floral, but that's about it. The honey has managed to mellow out the ylang ylang a bit. 1-2 hours later: Almost nothing. Ylang ylang's up in front again. Man. I was really looking forward to this one too. As soon as I have a pile of 'em, off to swaps, I guess. Really disappointed about the lack of apples and roses in this one.

I've heard Dragon's Eye is the closest one could get to a lilac scent right now, since the Blue Lilac SN is gone. Too bad, because I heard from the reviews that it was really something, and I missed the lilacs blooming while I was in Tokyo.

I guess I'm different; while the sun's in Aries, I really don't like firey, spicy scents. They can get too heavy, I guess. Gemini sounds fantastic, if only because it's clean and sounds like enough of an everyday scent without getting too obtrusive. Overall, though, the water scents are my thing. Easier to wear with my style, IMHO.
