  1. Imp: very strong synthetic florals, I also smelled a tiny bit of wood there somewhere.

    Wet: instant powder, I also get some rose, and I swear cherry lollipop.

    Dry: powder, synthetic floral, rose, cherry lolipop. It's almost all baby powder, with everything else just hanging out in the background.

    Overall: the color of the oil is a gorgeous deep red. This turned to baby powder on me as soon as I put it on. Off to swaps.


  2. Imp: sweet citrus, and cherry blossom.

    Wet:very sweet bright citrus fruit, a lot like pink grapefruit, or a blood orange. Cherry blossom compliments the citrus very nicely.

    Drydown: the cherry blossom is starting to come out some more, also getting some of the tea.

    Dry: just a hint of tea, cherry blossom, and citrus fruit.

    Overall: this smells like real fruit. I am blown away by how real, and lovely this smells. It really is amazing, I never would of thought I would like a citrus scent, but I LOVE this! If you're a fan of citrus you should really check this one out. I wish the tea would have came out more, but I still love this oil!


  3. Imp: very sharp, and bitter. I almost don't want to put it on.

    Wet: still sharp bitterness.

    Drydown: somehow it turned to roses with a bitter bite.

    Dry: floral soap, not rose anymore. Still has the bitter bite to it that reminds me of biting into a citrus peel. Not that is smells anything like citrus, but the same kind of bitter. There is also incense in the background.

    Overall: I have to agree with the person that said trying to figure out what this smells like is trying to remember a dream just as you're forgeting it. it's very well blended, and a very lovely sent. I'm just not sure if it's me, probably going to swaps.


  4. Imp: violet with a hint of mint.

    Wet: the violet really amped on me, the little bit of mint gives it a metal/ozone scent. Very cool. Very interesting scent.

    Drydown: the mint comes out some more, but noe it smells like minty baby powder.

    Dry: very overwhelming powder, with mint, starting to give me headache.

    Overall: this started out pretty, but turned to powder on me within minutes. Off to swaps.


  5. Imp: all spice, and kind of.reminded me of men's after shave.

    Wet: spices, it smells a lot like cinnamon to me. I also smell the chamomile, the smell really good together.

    Dry: this dried very fast on me, I still smell the spice, and chamomile, but there is a slight soapiness that is bearly there. Maybe a bit of leather I can't really tell, the spice/chamomile mix is what I smell the most.

    Overall: my skin ate this up fast, it was faint within a few minutes. It smells very nice though, but it's not really me. I think it will be super sexy on the husband though, so I will have to try it on him.


  6. Imp: black cherries

    Wet: cherries and roses

    Drydown: there is a warmth comming out now that I assume is the red musk. The lavender is there too now.

    Dry: this turns very smokey on me. I still get everything mentioned above.

    Overall: this starts off juicy, and ends up sexy, and smokey. I like it very much.


  7. Imp: very sharp like vick's or noxema.

    Wet: still vicks but with a tiny hint of dirt.

    Drydown: starting to get a bit of pine.

    Dry: still vick's noxema, and pine.

    Overall: not for off to swaps.

     

    ETA: after letting this age for over a year, I gave it another shot.

    imp/wet: very herbal, sharp, and almost pine.

    Drydown: not so sharp, and almost has a creamy scent to it. it's nice.

    Dry: dry spice, very dusty with a slight hint of patchouli.

    Overall: it's really grown on me. Think I'll keep it after all.


  8. I didn't get a chance to try out my imp because my 3 y/o got into my stash, and dumped this one all over herself. From the tiny amount left, and all of it on her, this smelled like pure baby powder. VERY STRONG. Even the tiny bit I.did get to try was overwelming. I will not get this again.


  9. Imp: dirt, pretty much all dirt.

    Wet: dirt, old books, and flowers.

    Drydown: the flowers are comming out more, along with something creamy, maybe tonka. The dirt, and books are still there.

    Dry: the floral has died down some. Still dirt, amd old books, and the creamy smell has turned into vanila tobacco.

    Overall: I think I am in love with all the dirt.scents I have trief except burial. This is a very nice scent.


  10. Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
    It fell upon a little western flower,
    Before, milk-white, now purple with love's wound,

    And maidens call it love-in-idleness.

     

    imp: rose, and something I can't put my finger on.
    Wet: a small bit of rose, and what my husband says is pansy, he worked in a plant farm that supplied flowers to local wal-marts, lowes, nurseries ect.
    Drydown: pansy, violet, and I think a little of stargazer lily.
    Dry: same as drydown, but stronger
    Overall: this is a very sweet wet floral. The throw is very good on this one. I put one dab on my wrist, and my husband could smell it on the other side of the couch, he has a stuffy nose. This didn't get very powdery on me. I like it a lot, and if you love florals, you will love this.


  11. imp: I smelled nothing, seriously, I was pretty surprised.

    Wet: (me) nothing (husband) nothing

    Drydown: (me) as my skin warmed it up it has a smell to it, but still very light, a powdery warm suede, it's nice, but I have to put my wrist right up to my nose to smell it. (husband) it has more smell on him too now. It is suede, grass, and chopped wood, vey nice on him, but still very light.

    Dry: (me) better throw, but still light, it smells the same as it did durning the drydown, but now I also get some of the dry grass. (husband) still light same smell as drydown.

    Overall: this took forever to dry. I liked it on me, but it was nicer on him. I think next time I try it out, I think I will put more on to see if that gives it a better throw.


  12. Imp: faint, but sharp

    Wet: still very faint lily, pepper, and musk

    Dry: this smells dusty, very very light, it's almost gone after just a few minutes.

    Overall: this is pretty, but I can barely smell it. It doesn't last long at all on me. My nose is a little stuffy so I will try it again, but if it stays the same it will go to the swap pile. I really wanted to love this :(

     

    eta: either this ages really well, or I amp it like crazy while pregnant. It is really gorgeous now.

    Wet: mostly lily, and peony, with mandarin in the background.

    Drydown: the woods and white musk are starting to come out.

    Dry:lots of woods, and musk with the florals and mandarin in the background.

    Overall: it's got a nice dry dusty smell to it, and the notes all work really well together on me now. I love it!


  13. Imp: dirt/earthy the moss covered bark, and chocolate, or vanilla.

    Wet: same as imp, but with a dry apple, I think it has a dry smell because of the leaf note. I also get a little spice, must be the nutmeg.

    Dry: more of the nutmeg is comming out, turning this into an apple cider. I still get the dirt, and a creamy vanilla/chocolate.

    Overall: I love this, the earthy scent from the moss, and leaves really go nice with the foodieness of this. It's very warm, and comforting.


  14. Imp: cocoa, and fresh cut grass

    Wet: it was roses, and something juicy, I guess that would be the cactus flowers.

    Dry down: this became a very warm floral, but with the warmth coming from a dusty, almost spice smell, must be the veviter.

    Dry: oh there's the cocoa again, roses, and what I think are the cactus flowers.

    Overall: I didn't expect this to smell as sexy as it turned out. It is a soft, sexy, beautiful scent on me. Love it!


  15. Imp: cherry cough drops

    Wet: cherry, and flowers mostly rose.

    Dry down: a little cherry, and a lot of carnation, with some spice. Maybe a little honey in there, the carnation is so strong it's hard to pick out anything else though.

    Dry: carnation, rose, honey, and a little spice.

    Over all: this morphed a lot, and fast. It seemed like it never smelled the same as the last time I sniffed my wrist. It makes me think of candied flowers, it is very sweet, and floral. A very pretty scent, but I don't think I like it enough to keep. This is most likely going to the swap pile.


  16. I'm not sure what any of the notes in this smell like, so I will just say what it seemed like to me.

    Imp and wet: this smelled like cheap cologne. Not in a bad way though, like the kind your highschool crush, or boyfriend would wear. So it's nice, and kind of sexy.

    Dry: I was a major stoner in highschool. Once this drys it still smells like highschool boys, but it also smells like the inscents, we would burn after we smoked to try, and make the room smell less like weed. So this reminds me of sitting in a dark room, with a few friends, some cute guys, music playing, and all of us fried out of our minds. I think I love this one, for the memories it brings back.


  17. Imp: very herbal

    Wet: I get the mint, and orange, maybe a hint of lemon, and rosemary.

    Dry down: citrus, rose, and a dry almost spiciness that must be rosemary.

    Dry: rose, and light citrus

    Overall: this is a nice clean scent, smells very fresh. I really like it, but my skin seems to eat it up so it doesn't last very long on me.


  18. Oh wow I can't even tell you how much I loved this.

    Imp: red wine, and black cherries.

    Wet: still red wine, and cherries, but more wine.

    Dry down: I'm starting to get a smokey wood

    Dry: red wine, cherry, smokey wood, and a hint of rose. It also starts to smell dry/dusty, not powder though. Thank god, a lot of things turn to powder on me.

    Overall: this was amazing, I love, love, loved it. My husband also loved it. I didn't get any of the plum, coffee bean, or blood, but I do have a small cold so that might be why. Hopefully those will come out next time I wear it. I have no idea what dragon's terry smells like, so I don't know if it was there, or not. This had good throw, and staying power. I was smelling my wrist all night. Going to need more if this for sure.


  19. Voluptuous and indulgent! A deep chocolate scent, with black cherry and orange blossom.

     

    Imp: cherry syrup, not medicine, but very sweet syrup like a pie filling.
    Wet: same as imp
    Dry: chocolate covered cherries! Just like a box of chocolate covered cherries.
    Over all I love this scent, it reminds me of my great grandmother who would sit me on her lap when I was a little girl, and we would eat chocolate covered cherries. A keeper for sure, have to get a big bottle.
