Le Serpent Qui Danse: In the bottle: mmmm...I really smell the vanilla! I cannot really discern between the gardenia & violets though - but I think I might be in love anyway! On the skin/wet: Divine!! The vanilla subsides a little, but just enough to let the gardenia & violets make themselves known and all three are playing merrily on my wrists. It's moderately strong - I can smell my wrists from roughly 7 inches away, so I would assume that someone standing nearby can get just a faint whisper of it. Dry: This is delicious!! I'm not sure it would fall under my classification of 'sinister' but it's definitely a dark, luxurious feminine scent. The aroma changes very, very little from when it was wet too; so it currently still smells of all three components listed in the Lab's description, but perhaps just a little bit warmer. Great staying power too!! I most certainly love this perfume! If you are a fan of vanilla scents and/or light florals - Le Serpent Qui Danse is definitely worth a try!

Vice: In the bottle: Hmmmm....Orange Blossom! I like Orange Blossom! I don't smell any Chocolate or Cherry though - maybe they'll show up as it dries ::crosses fingers:: On my skin/wet: ::wrinkles nose:: orange cleaner? wow! not what I was expecting ^_~ Also faintly smells of plastic-y somethingoranother. Drying: Oh my! more plastic-y smell! What happened to the Chocolate? the Cherries? the Orange Blossom? ::still hoping for the description to shine through over the next couple of hours:: Dry: awww...that's disappointing! I was so hoping to smell like a decandent Chocolate cake with toppings!! Instead I just smelled like plastic tupperware put in an oven at 400* and forgotten. Crazy chemistry!! Ahh! but the good news is that Vice is on it's way to a new, very hopeful home
