Wet: The almond is very strong, not the amond-extract smell I was expecting, but a more natural almond, with something hovering just behind it. Saffron? There is something else, that smells like that cherry italian soda syrup, mixed with almond extract. Cherry extract. I'm not at all sure what I think of it. Drydown: The cherry extract has receded into the background, so far as to be almost imperceptible. The almond has mellowed out a little, too, and given way to something incensey, but sweet enough that I can wear it. I like? I love! A little later: It's gone soft, probably the amber letting itself peek out a little. It's simalar to the lion, but without the overwhelming cinnamon/powder smell. 2 hours later: I smell honey! Mmmmm.

The sweet pea, I think. Those are some of my favorites! Never tried them as rainy scents....

It rains a lot where I live, so I have been looking for a rainy scent for a long time. For a while Annabel Lee was satisfying that, but my dad is allergic. Any suggestions?

Without looking at the notes: It's a very cloying, thick scent, which puts me in mind of honeyed plums. I'm trusting to my instincts here, and I've never smelled honeyed plums, but that's what it made me think of. Now I look at the notes I'm rather surprised- how could I smell plum in that? But I did. Weird.

Nope. It does none of those things. It doesn't do the opposite, but I'm not exceptionally lucky or happy. It smells a bit like Lolita, with a smell that I can't place. (Anybody surprised? I thought not.) I hoped it would be peach-y or apricot-y, but it's not, and I don't really like it. Darn.

Anne Bonny is more than a bit boring on my skin. In fact, it is so boring, that I can't even remember what it smells like. I think there was some patchouli in it, but I can't recall anything else. Oh well.

Pipe tobbaco. Really vile pipe tobbaco. Yuck. I don't get any mystery and it's not sinister. If I wanted pipe tobbaco (which I don't) I'd prefer Hellfire.

Whoa. Rubbing alchohol. Or bleach? This is not a keeper.

Patchouli, cedar, sage? Very woody (naturally). After a while I could have sworn I was wearing The Lion. ????? Overall, it's okay, but I think I'll stick with The Lion. It has the non-bonus of my sister hanging on to my wrist, too. Edited.

This is a clear, citrusy scent, not really like nails at all. Hmmm. It smells like a perfume sample from Vogue magazine, the perfume mingling with the smell of the pages. Only more citrusy. Maybe a citrus perfume? It does some morphing later on, but by that time it was making my throat hurt and I had to wash it off.

Wet: I don't know. Menthol, mint, pennyroyal? Later: the sinus-clearing things mellow out a bit, and I smell sweet candlewax. Scented candles, but I'm not sure what they're scented like. Is there cypress? It's OK, but I don't really care.

Pennyroyal, mint, why does it smell almost creamy? No lavender, which is sad, I love lavender. Wow it's gone! It's only been on fifteen minutes!

Chocolate, gingerbread, cookies, and something else. It smells like a kitchen on Baking Day. I like it!

All I smell is pipe tobacco. Correction, all I pick out is pipe tobacco. It didn't seem overly strong, but I can still smell it faintly, sixteen hours later. Well, I like the scent, but I wouldn't wear it. I don't particularly want to smell like tobacco.

Wet, this is dry and a touch bitter, but in a nice way. As it drys, the sharp floral comes out, but it doesn't overwhelm the scent. Whatever's in the background keeps jumping from sweet, to dry and bitter. After a few hours, the sharpness dissapears. Unfortunately, shortly after that, so does the rest of the scent. It's nice though. I'm keeping it.
