Wet: Strong florals, headed up by a big rose scent.
First on: WAY too strong for me.
Dry: Overwhelmingly rosy.

Uruk
in Wanderlust
Wet: This smells like Dr Pepper, no joke.
First on: Mostly Dr Pepper with a background of florals.
Dry: Same on drydown.
-
Wet: Kind of indiscernible, almost watery in the vial.
First on: Sweet and spicy.
Dry: Already faded away. Disappointing.

Uranus
in Celestials
Wet: Spicy, and almost like licorice.
First on: It's very candylike, but nothing in particular...
Dry: It dries down to the scent of Necco wafers. Weird.
-
Wet: Plum? I'm not sure where that's coming from. Lilac is strong, too.
First on: Something about this is sweet and creamy like opium.
Dry: Soft florals, very creamy. Lovely scent.
-
Wet: Floral.
First on: Spicy and floral. What is so floral about this?
Dry: Faded away.
-
Wet: Super resinous.
First on: Spicy resin. Amber incense?
Dry: Unchanged.
-
Wet: Resin? Maybe that's the osmanthus.
First on: Sweet resin, like vanilla incense.
Dry: Same. More of a room scent than a perfume really.

-
Wet: Commercial perfume. Ick.
First on: Unchanged. Nondescript perfumey scent.
Dry: Still unchanged, and I'm going to scrub it off now.
-
Wet: Fruity carnation.
First on: Unchanged.
Dry: A bit muskier on drydown. It's nice enough, but nothing's really pulling for it to make me keep it.
-
Wet: Almost pure dragon's blood.
First on: A very floral dragon's blood.
Dry: It's almost as if it's dragon's blood lite at this point.

Lush parlor rooms draped in thick velvets and gilded in gold, unearthly whispering in the distance, fleeting flashes of wraithlike figures rushing just outside your vision, the chill of a phantom presence brushing by your cheek, the inscrutable knowledge that disembodied eyes are peering at you from darkened corners… this is the essence of Victorian-era spiritualism: rosewood, oak and teak notes with wispy blue lilac, tea rose, dried white rose and ethereal osmanthus.
Wet: VERY floral.
First on: Floral grandma soap.
Dry: Unchanged on drydown. Disappointing. -

Luna
in Celestials
Wet: Floral, but very bad, and I'm nervous about even putting it on.
First on: Sharp and strong. Stinks of rotting jasmine.
Dry: Worse, stronger, and I need to go scrub it off now.
-
Wet: Floral, spicy.
First on: Same. Kind of nondescript.
Dry: Faded away completely.
-
Wet: Soap. Bah!
First on: Floral soap.
Dry: Powdery, but otherwise unchanged floral soap.
-
O
in Ars Amatoria
Wet: Musky, which is strange seeing as there's no musk in it.
First on: Faint already and it's barely touched my skin.
Dry: Faded completely away. What a shame.
-
Wet: Overwhelmingly spicy.
First on: Spicy resin, and it hasn't toned down at all.
Dry: Same. I like it but it's a little too powerful for me.
-
Wet: Soapy.
First on: Bitter soap.
Dry: Faint, not that I'm sad about it.
-
Wet: Sweet resin.
First on: Same. Quite pretty really, although I think it might make a better room scent.
Dry: Rather faded and quickly, unfortunately.
-
Wet: Sharp...pee? Ew. I'm scared to put it on.
First on: ICK! This was a bad idea.
Dry: Unchanged and I'm going to scrub it off now.
-
Wet: Spicy and sweet.
First on: Sweet resin, like floral incense.
Dry: Unchanged. Pleasant, if a bit bland.
-
Wet: Floral and deeply musky.
First on: Unchanged on skin.
Dry: Woodsy florals and faded out musk.
La Vita Nuova
in Lupercalia

Wet: Fresh and clean.
First on: Soapy and lemony - but good soap.
Dry: This smells like a great body wash, but not something I want to wear as perfume.
