bottle:
very dry, incensy, grass/hay
wet:
same - pretty masculine, although now a touch of warmth emerges
dry:
reminds me of a farm or horse barn, a dry mild spicy hay scent!
overall:
I like this - very different
rating: 7/10

bottle:
floral, jasmine, fresh
wet:
light floral with sandalwood
dry:
very jasmine now, still some sandalwood but mostly jasmine
overall:
not bad, but yet another jasmine blend… I think I'll pass this one on
rating: 6/10

bottle:
very green, bitter almost
wet:
definitely a christmas scent of fresh evergreens in the house. Very strong
dry:
mellowed a little - not bad, but I just prefer yuletide and midwinter's eve for my holiday fix!
overall:
nice, but I prefer some of the other christmas scents!

sweet floral rose and something (combined, reminds me of honeysuckle)

bottle:
green bitter herb (wormwood)
wet:
same, with anise/licorice as well
dry:
wormwood and anise - luckily for this licorice hater, the anise is subdued and not gagging me.
overall:
I don't hate it like I expected (because of the anise) but it's not something I'd really wear

bottle:
musky
wet:
same. Very traditional perfume scent to me.

the musk turns much darker when dry - still there, but I have to admit I like it better - although not on it's own. I can't really smell any amber
overall:
too musky for me
rating: 5/10

evergreen trees

evergreen trees, hint of white floral

i've come across a few now that really remind me of other scents, and i started making notes to compare two (or more) at one time to see what the differences are - so far my list is:
al-shairan vs seraglio (al-s. is less orange i think. it's been a while since i wore seraglio)
13 vs freak show vs velvet (mostly the first two, velvet starts off similar but dries down differently)
dragon moon vs holiday moon (same at first for me, dragon moon has cherry blossoms in dry down...)
queen of sheba vs the red queen (i know red queen is sweeter berry, but QoS's almond reads as cherry to me - so this is not so much as a dead match but which do i like better!)
there's more i can't think of right now... also there are a bunch of "summer garden at night" scents in my reviews, someday i'll pull those all out and try them against each other. (midnight, luna, evening star, perfumed garden.... although i gave luna away, i like the others better)
oh and alecto and kathmandu i find similar when dry (different when wet though)

bottle:
incense and exotic spices
wet:
cinnamon, and other exotic spices, something sweet and citrusy too…. an amazing blend!
dry:
now it's more floral, subdued spices. Still very exotic - reminds me of an import store that has incense, candles, and wood furniture from around the world - all the smells combine so you can't pick out any notes
overall:
nice!
