Wet: Honey sweet, jasmine high! Dry: Still honey and jasmine, a bit of ginger spiciness Final: I've been hoping to find a jasmine scent that I adore, and this is it. I love this! I must eBay a bottle immediately.

Wet: Lemon? Sweetly spicy and definitely a bit of citrus. Dry: Sweet like an exotic honey, not in a cloying way, more like a fragrant tea with lemon and honey, I just want to take a sip. Final: Nice and refreshingly cheerful. Like sitting in a sun-drenched morning room with a cuppa and biscuit.

Wet - Licorice! With a touch of citrus. I'm not a big fan of licorice, so we'll see. Dry - Still getting licorice, but it seems to have combined with the other scents to smell like...dryer sheets. Weird. Final - The dryer sheet scent is an odd occurrence, but not unpleasant. The underlying whiff of licorice, however, is.

Wet - Bright, but kind of male. Dry - Very reminiscent of a cologne/aftershave someone I know used to wear. Is that the leather & patchouli? Hints of citrus coming through as it mellows and softens, and something else I can't quite put my finger on, perhaps it's the tonka. Final - Way too much like aftershave for me, although nice aftershave. I wish I could remember which guy it was who smelled like this. So this is a fragrance filled with unidentifiable qualities and scent-memory, but in a good way. I think this would smell much better on my husband, though.

Wet - Sweet and flowery. Is that Vanilla Coke? Dry - The vanilla is strong and the mixture of flowers makes it kind of zesty. Still getting whiffs of Vanilla Coke, but nice. It must be the spicy sweet flowers combined with the vanilla doing that. Come on out gardenia, don't be shy. Oh, there you are! Final - Have a Coke and a smile! Certainly lives up to its name as it makes me feel happier. I think this one may be a keeper.

Wet - Flowery and spicy, clean. Dry - Jasmine, and spices with a hint of laundry freshness. Later...goodbye jasmine, hello musk! Too much musk. Help! The musk is revolting. Send in troops! Now it's turning into fermented fruit. *scrubs it off* Final - Like a banana republic, it started out nice and exotic, but quickly deteriorated into a war zone.

Wet - Tangy, almost cedary. Dry - Sweet! Cherry blossoms and sort of a bathroom cleanser chemically tang. But mostly very candy-like--Pez! Final - Probably a bit too sweet for everyday, since I don't want everyone thinking I'm gorging on Pez all the time. But it could be fun every once in a while.

Wet - Very floral and kind of spicy. Dry - Turning to baby powder which I assume is from the orris, the violet and lavender are strong. Final - Very clean and peaceful, but didn't seem to last that long.
