  1. bottle:

    jasmine and bit of citrus/lime

     

    wet:

    almost all jasmine

     

    dry:

    pretty strong floral - the lime is nice, but it's still too heady of a floral for me

     

    overall:

    nice but too floral for me

     

    rating: 5/10


  2. bottle:

    light spicy floral

     

    wet:

    slightly musky, slightly citrus, light florals

     

    dry:

    a little too musky for me. It also may be going powdery… Yup somewhat soapy/powdery

     

    overall:

    too musky for me

     

    rating: 3/10


  3. bottle:

    herbal, lavender, rosemary

     

    wet:

    yum relaxing herbal blend

     

    dry:

    light, disappears fast (I didn't put much on), but a nice relaxing herbal

     

    overall:

    light, but nice

     

    rating: 7/10


  4. bottle:

    dry floral

     

    wet:

    bright light floral…

     

    dry:

    nice - light floral, on the drier side (almost powdery in a good way!) hint of citrus

    overall:

    I like this.

  5. bottle:

    musky, bright

     

    wet:

    a little citrus, musky

     

    dry:

    same really. Not bad, but muskier than I prefer.

     

    overall:

    nice, but not really my thing. I would have loved more orange and less musk!

     

    rating: 6/10


  6. bottle:

    very dry

     

    wet:

    not much scent at all, very dry, a little green

     

    dry:

    a very empty scent, not much to it.

     

    overall:

    nice but not much scent at all on me.

  7. (scylla is SOOOO amazing for sending half an imp of this to me! thank you!!!)

     

    bottle:

    lemon and herbal

     

    wet:

    woody (a little birch) and spicy

     

    dry:

    yum. Woodsy, incensey. Really like this scent, too bad it's impossible to get!

     

    overall:

    I'll treausre my little bit!

  8. bottle:

    dark floral/herbal - may bother my throat

     

    wet:

    very dark herbal… piney and herbs

     

    dry:

    pretty much the same - not bad, doesn't seem to bother my throat like I thought. Herbal with a bit of a sinister/dark side.

     

    overall:

    another that gets better as it dries.

     

    rating: 7/10


  9. bottle:

    mint, and ugh violet

     

    wet:

    mint, hint of violet, some sandalwood/palmerosa

     

    dry:

    not nearly as bad as I expected based on my first violet experiences with bpal (ultraviolet, saturnalia). It's not bad, in fact, without the violet it would probably rock.

     

    overall:

    gets better and better with time… still a borderline scent

     

    rating: 6/10


  10. bottle:

    vetiver, and maybe some violet….

     

    overall:

    I got it on my fingers and all I can smell is vetiver, and I can't stand it! Didn't try it on. (it may be the violets too as i'm not having good experiences with them either...)

  11. bottle:

    dragons blood and cinnamon. Spicy!

     

    wet:

    very true to the description - really spicy but nice!

     

    dry:

    it mellows out upon drying, and is a really nice spice blend. Cloves and cinnamon are most noticable, with dragons blood rounding it out.

     

    overall:

    I like it!

     

    rating: 8/10


  12. bottle:

    this will sound weird but - it smells like paper. Wet paper? Musty

     

    wet:

    smells like cleaning the basement out after it flooded. Really. Guess it's just wood, but strange memory associations.

     

    dry:

    wood. Wet wood I guess. Not sandalwood (boohoo), not anything else….

     

    overall:

    dare I say… boring? On me at least it's nothing like others have described. Not meant for me then!

     

    rating: 5/10


  13. bottle:

    musky/patchouli

     

    wet:

    very incensey, patchouli and vetiver

     

    dry:

    very strong, now I know better what vetiver is. I don't dislike it, but I don't think it's me, at least not for perfume

     

    overall:

    a little too much incense and vetiver for me

     

    rating: 5/10


  14. spicy floral - harvesty without being too autumn. really nice! (I had sampled this at a M&S and it didn't seem nearly so spicy, but the reviews seem to confirm that i'm not imagining things!)

     

    rates higher than it would be on scent alone because i'm pagan and it will be special to use on the day it's named after!

     

    rating: 9/10


  15. bottle:

    sweet, berry - hint of musk

     

    wet:

    very sweet and berry! Nice but could get nauseating if it stayed like this for hours

    dry:

    the berry mellows out into almost a cinnamon feel - a little spicy, not very sweet at all now - really nice! May tickle my throat…

     

    overall:

    nice, but almost too sweet/berry and may tickle my throat, try another time to be sure

     

     

    rating: 7/10


  16. bottle:

    light, tea scent

     

    wet:

    tea and herbs, a very light and fresh scent

     

    dry:

    oh yum. Tea and herbs, hint of dark fruit/fig, slightly warm from the ginger….

     

    overall:

    another favorite!
