Wet: Resin and wood.

 

First on: Same on my skin.

 

Dry: Sharp wood with a background of incense.

Wet: Sharply floral.

 

First on: Unchanged.

 

Dry: Sharp, strongly floral incense.

Wet: Spicy musk.

 

First on: Spicy florals.

 

Dry: Musky and floral and not spicy anymore.

('07 version.)

 

Wet: Rosy.

 

First on: Sweet, watery rose.

 

Dry: Same on drydown. A pleasant rose scent, but not really my thing.

Wet: Leather.

 

First on: Leather and spice. Ironically, unlike De Sade, I can't smell any rose.

 

Dry: Same on drydown. Too masculine for me.

Wet: Fresh mint, mostly.

 

First on: Springtime and wet.

 

Dry: Faint, almost faded away. Pleasant, though.

Wet: Floral soap. Almost don't want to put it on.

 

First on: Same on my skin, sigh.

 

Dry: Nope, still the same. Time to scrub it off.

Wet: Fruity wine.

 

First on: Spicy fruit.

 

Dry: Same on drydown. Nothing very special about it, but it's a pleasant smell.

Wet: Super floral.

 

First on: Sweet roses are overwhelming everything.

 

Dry: Sweet floral soap, yuck.

Wet: Faint cologne.

 

First on: Barely-there bay rum cologne.

 

Dry: A faint hint of tobacco and nothing else.

Wet: Berries and pastry. Yum!

 

First on: Same on the skin.

 

Dry: A bit of caramel, buttery pastry. Kinda wanna lick myself.

Wet: Very, very musky.

 

First on: Citrusy musk.

 

Dry: Same on drydown. Slightly sharp.

Wet: Spice and ...musk?

 

First on: Musky citrus. Where is this musk coming from?

 

Dry: Same on drydown.

Wet: All pumpkin, all the time!

 

First on: Mmm, pumpkin pie.

 

Dry: Smells like a kitchen at Thanksgiving time, but it's not really a perfume I want to wear.

Wet: Sharply floral. Violet's taking over in the bottle.

 

First on: Still heavily violet.

 

Dry: All violet all the time. Meh.

Wet: Roses? and leather...

 

First on: Just pure leather.

 

Dry: New car smell! Great smell, not a great perfume.

Wet: Spicy...water.

 

First on: Now it's watered down chocolate. I don't know where the chocolate is coming from.

 

Dry: Same, but fainter.

Wet: Coffee and oak.

First on: Like a coffeehouse! Very memory-triggering.

Dry: Still like a coffeehouse on drydown. It'd be a great room scent, but not so much for perfume.

Wet: Sharp, musky incense.

 

First on: It's all amber and patchouli on my skin.

 

Dry: Unchanged on drydown. A pleasant smell, but I probably wouldn't wear it much.

Wet: Flowers and sweet fruit.

 

First on: I'm getting...grape? Weird.

 

Dry: Fruity florals. Pretty and light.

(Testing both original and resurrected versions.)

 

Wet: Original and resurrected versions both smell like sugary flowers in the bottle.

 

First on: Again, they smell almost identical - sweet flowers, caramel apple. The more aged original smells richer somehow, though.

 

Dry: They start fading pretty quickly. Resurrected starts to smell like plasticky sugar flowers. Original lacks the plastic smell and fades down into indistinct sweet flowers.

Wet: Vanilla and flowery.

 

First on: Same, but the vanilla is stronger.

 

Dry: Mmm, a beautiful light floral with a heavy vanilla layer. Yum!

Wet: Super sharp commercial perfume. Eep.

 

First on: Still commercial perfume.

 

Dry: Never changed, and now I'm off to scrub it off.

Wet: Florals?

 

First on: ...Roses? Maybe one of the salty dry woods is rosewood.

 

Dry: Sharp and acidic. Yikes.

Wet: Plastic sugar. I'm scared.

 

First on: Still plastic.

 

Dry: Plastic plastic plastic! Bah!
