  1. bottle:

    cocoa and sandalwood

     

    wet:

    yum!! Similar to freakshow/13, but the cocoa is even more subtle/less foody. I can smell the sandalwood and it's yummy!

     

    dry:

    sandalwood, I think I can discern the myrrh… and a bare hint of vanilla and cocoa beans! Yummmmy

     

    overall:

    love it!

     

    rating: 9/10


  2. 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!

  3. bottle:

    calming floral - little watery

     

    wet:

    really like this, smells a little like lily of the valley/tulips

     

    dry:

    yeah this reminds me of church with flowers!

     

    overall:

    I normally wouldn't like a floral this strong, but I really do like it!

  4. bottle:

    incensey/resin

     

    wet:

    amber and patchouli, hint of fruit

     

    dry:

    interesting…. Not sure what I think of it! I think I like it…

     

    overall:

    borderline scent, not sure what I think!

     

    rating: 6/10


  5. bottle:

    herbal/incense and slightly musky

     

    wet:

    very light scent - a little resiney, incensey… a little lemony.

     

    dry:

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

     

    overall:

    nice!

     

    rating: 7/10


  6. bottle:

    musky

     

    wet:

    a musky blend with notes I'm unfamiliar with - I can't smell any amber

     

    dry:

    smells a lot like tradiitonal perfume. I'm not crazy about it!

     

    overall:

    not for me.

     

    rating: 5/10


  7. 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.

  8. bottle:

    chocolate. Smells like 13

     

    wet:

    cocoa/unsweet chocolate.

     

    dry:

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

     

    overall:

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

     

    rating: 8/10


  9. bottle:

    incense and light floral

     

    wet:

    more floral than I expected - a musky floral with a hint of incense

     

    dry:

    still a light floral - not what I expected at all!

     

    overall:

    I like it but I'm not sure I need a whole bottle…

     

    rating: 7/10


  10. bottle:

    amber/vanilla and a little spice

     

    wet:

    incense and amber, a little musky, but a scent with lots of layers and depth

     

    dry:

    I like - not too musky, very incensey, and I love amber of course!

     

    overall:

    I like it, and I bet it will get even better with age!

     

    rating: 8/10


  11. bottle:

    almond/cherry

     

    wet:

    I still smell cherry, but it's not a sweet cherry, and spices!

     

    dry:

    spices now, hint of cherry but not much. Really nice!

     

    overall:

    really really nice. Like bottle nice!

  12. bottle:

    ozoney, watery

     

    wet:

    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…

     

    overall:

    nice - need to find a guy to wear this for me!

     

    rating: 7/10


  13. 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.

  14. bottle:

    dragons blood, almost a watery version

     

    wet:

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

    dry:

    really like it! Florals that I like, and the dragons blood keeps it from getting too sweet/heady.

     

    overall:

    like it!

     

    rating: 7/10


  15. bottle:

    dragons blood and something even heavier, hint of cherry

     

    wet:

    sweet and sticky, with spices underneath

     

    dry:

    yummy - really. A little foody, but mostly just spicy thick resiney goodness! Should be great in winter

     

    overall:

    love it!

     

    rating: 8/10


  16. bottle:

    almost cherry

     

    wet:

    sweet red wine with florals… I guess leather is what adds depth to it

     

    dry:

    yeah I see it, leather and merlot! It's a deep dark scent - hint of florals but luckily the violets barely make an appearance

     

    overall:

    I like it - not for everyday but nice!
