Wow! Let me first start out by saying that I'm a newbie and I've only tried 7 of the scents. I like all of them!
Libertine is the first one that I've really tried to analyze, so here goes:
Upon opening bottle: This first struck me as very floral and almost citrusy. Very potent.
Wet on skin: It is still very floral, which I assume is the chamomile and violet coming through. I'm not sure what primrose smells like. I can really smell the bergamot. It doesn't have a strong citrus smell now.
Dry (several hours later): The sandalwood and rosewood have really come through to make this scent very rich and classy. The floral scent has been tamed somewhat and it's smelling a little more earthy. If you're an earthy-scent girl like me, don't dismiss Libertine at first smell. Put lots of it on and let it dry for a nice, woody scent. I love it!
