bottle:
incense, spices
wet:
strong incensey. Can't smell currant, not sweet at all. Bitter is right. something in this reminds me of seraglio, but nowhere as nice. I like incense and spices but this may be too dark/bitter for me.
dry:
a little less bitter after a while, but I'm just not crazy for this one.
overall:
not for me.
rating: 4/10

bottle:
lemon, slightly floral, a little fruity
wet:
lemon and rose
dry:
same! A nice fresh light floral.
overall:
a really bright blend - nice!
rating: 8/10
-
bottle:
lemony herbal
wet:
lemony and herbal! Nice
dry:
getting a little soapy, not bad but soapy…. Sigh, like shanghai, there's something in this that doesn't like me.
overall:
an herbal soap.
rating: 4/10

bottle:
herbs, slightly sweet
wet:
sage, slightly musky, barely a hint of a sweet floral
dry:
more musky as it dries, not as crazy about this…
overall:
a little too musky for me..
rating: 6/10

bottle:
not much scent in the bottle, slightly floral
wet:
an incensey floral… vanilla and sandalwood, light lily of the valley… I don't know what opium smells like
dry:
yummm. Really nice, only slightly floral, my favorite notes and yet a new twist. The lily of the valley comes out more later on, but still a great blend!
overall:
enchanting! A new favorite I think!
rating: 8/10

bottle:
fruity and sweet
wet:
fruity floral- lotus I guess is the floral- the amber mellows it out, I can smell the citrus, melon isn't listed but there's an aura of it.
dry:
mellower - lotus and amber, hint of citrus but it's almost gone. Really nice! I'm learning that amber loves me, and I love it!
overall:
really nice, but almost too sticky sweet… even with that, it ranks high.
rating: 8/10

bottle:
floral: rosey
wet:
nice floral, not too sweet or heady - the rose is a really nice rose.
dry:
invigorating floral, not too sweet, not too heavy…. Very bright and fresh!
overall:
a girly scent, yet I love it!

bottle:
ozoney fresh smell
wet:
nice, ozone but not too much like a men's cologne
dry:
may be my favorite ozone. Or maybe I'm biased because I tried it just after a thunderstorm passed through… still, I like it, and it's not too cologney.
overall:
I can hear the thunder. (oh wait that really is thunder…. Hehe) Like it!

Shocking, horrific, fierce, savage, sensationalized, luminous and hazy: black currant, Bulgarian lavender and white musk with a dollop of thick resin and a voltaic charge of ozone notes.
bottle:
musky lavender
wet:
musky (but not too much for me), resiny, herbal (lavender), some ozone peeking out
dry:
a very neutral (in gender sense) scent - but so intriguing! Lavender and light ozone and musk… nothing really strong. Very unique!
overall:
nice - borders on masculine, but I can see myself wearing it at certain times
rating: 7/10 -
bottle:
mint, and I want to say hint of vanilla…
wet:
a creamy mint. Really refreshing without being harsh
dry:
now it gets a little more herbal, still refreshing! After a few hours it gets very cologney. Not bad, but very masculine.
overall:
really nice early on, too masc. later….
rating: 6/10

bottle:
almost a watery (not ozone) light floral
wet:
a little lemony. Lightly floral and herbal
dry:
lovely light scent! Light herbal/floral, hint of water I think
overall:
I adore this.
rating: 9/10
-
bottle:
ozone floral!
wet:
watery ozone with floral and a bit of spice in the background
dry:
a nice balance of ozone and other scents. Ozone without too much masculinity
overall:
love it!
rating: 8/10
-
bottle:
root beer and green woods
wet:
a little sandalwoody (or cedar?), root beer is there but less strong
dry:
subtle spices and woods, very warm scent but mild. Not much throw, but really nice!
overall:
loving it!
rating: 9/10

bottle:
berries, with a bit of a tart note
wet:
oh pomegranate! Yum. With almost an ozoney-alcohol side to it
dry:
interesting because it's fruity but oh-so-not-sweet! Good summer scent. This could even be good on a guy, that "ozone" side of it is different. In fact it's almost taking over… it does get back to more of a fruity scent, which is good!
overall:
mixed feelings… I can't decide on this one yet!
rating: 7/10
-
bottle:
a little cinnamon
wet:
vanilla and cinnamon!
dry:
ok, so there's no vanilla in it, but it smells like a spicier O!
overall:
love it!
rating: 9/10
-
bottle:
sweet fruity
wet:
sweet and fruity with a hint of mint
dry:
the bulk of the sweetness goes away and a soft fruity floral remains, still that hint of "cold" mint
overall:
nice. Sweet so I have to be in the mood. Will be great around holidays or as a room freshener!

bottle:
apple floral
wet:
smokey/musky apples
dry:
this bothers my throat, I can't wear it.
overall:
I didn't like it on the skin nearly as much, and I guess I'm allergic.
rating: 2/10

bottle:
very earthy, with floral and herbs
wet:
herbal and earthy, touch of floral.
dry:
this kindof reminds me of a graveyard… but it's cool! It reminds me of my trips to the aran isles for some reason, wild herbs and flowers, dirt, and just a hint of the ocean behind it all…. Later it turns into much more incense, wish it stayed like it did earlier, but still nice!
overall:
loving it more early on, still nice though
rating: 7/10

bottle:
light and fruity
wet:
light, mango, slight floral
dry:
same, light fruit and floral! Barely sweet.
overall:
really nice esp. in summer!
rating: 8/10
-
bottle:
aquatic, but not too masc. hint of floral
wet:
mild aquatic, soft, touch of florals, nice!
dry:
still very much the same, aquatic, clean, lovely! My throat is starting to irritate me though, I may be allergic!
overall:
great scent! Throat tickles, need to try it a second time to confirm.

bottle:
interesting incense/floral blend
wet:
I can smell the ylang-ylang, hint of sandalwood, so I guess the rest is neroli. Smells a little more like a traditional perfume, but it's not musky.
dry:
floral but not girly, very grown up.
overall:
Nice, but not really my style.
