bottle:
I can smell a bit of palmerosa (which I love) but too much patchouli/muskiness
wet:
the rose and palmerosa make a slight appearance now… not musky anymore.
dry:
another one that morphs between notes a lot - much less patchouli though.
overall:
I can't make up my mind about this one! One moment I like it…. The next I'm not sure!

I can't pick out notes, but I'd say it's incensey, hint of lemon.

bottle:
yum - fresh floral
wet:
fresh green floral - really nice!

wildflower florals- a little grassy but not much.

bottle:
green, bamboo.
wet:
smells a lot like holiday moon… very fresh. Can't smell any dragon's blood at all.
dry:
bamboo and tea, barest hint of cherry blossom, and that's all…. More cherry blossom later on, so a little more floral than holiday moon
overall:
so similar to holiday moon - I think I like this one a tiny bit better.

cocoa/unsweet chocolate.

eventually some hints of other things come out… maybe fig, bergamot… (yes it does get figgy)

a darker version of 13. nice, but I'm not sure how often I'd wear it…
rating: 8/10

bottle:
incense and light floral

watery with a hint of spice/woods - yummy! fairly masculine, but I really like it… just not one to wear at work!!!
dry:
Ack, it's doing the throat tickle thing… the ozone ones don't seem to like me… *it may be the start of a cold, or hayfever…

bottle:
musky and cologney
wet:
musky and a little spicey
dry:
Musk vs. amber/sandalwood…. It's a battle of dislikes and likes. As time passes it gets better and better/less musky
overall:
need to test alone sometime to really determine what I think - I like the drydown stage.
rating: 7/10

bottle:
dragons blood, almost a watery version

interesting blend of florals and dragons blood. Hints of lilac and lily of the valley.
