Wet it was a easier to pick out the individual notes, I think I was able to pick out everything besides the cassia. Dry, it all blends together and I lost all of the earthly loamy-ness that I liked when it was wet. On my skin, this is honey and clean laundry with just a touch of incense. Overall it smells nice, but I think my skin chemistry made it go a little too soapy for my taste.
