Thank you all! I'm very happy to be a part of this community and very grateful!! I just put on Burial, which is still wet....and very Vicks rub smelling....but I have confidence in this one.

 

What exactly does drydown mean? I think I've been using it wrong

 

It might be subjective? But I use it to mean when a scent is fully dry and settled on my skin, and is no longer "morphing" or going through different phases, it's in its "final stage" so to speak. HTH

 

I thought that was the 'dry'. I was under impression there's wet, drydown, and dry, in that order.

Awww, you're not being difficult, you like what you like. I am one of the minority who loves vetiver and Malediction.

 

I bet we can find you some non sweet resin scents, sans florals, no sweat.

 

How do you feel about wood notes and patchouli?

 

I'll come back with ideas when my cold medicine isn't kicking my ass and I can Brain properly.

I love both of them!

I am very new to this community, and have only tried on a little less than a dozen scents, but I'm already finding I am SO ANTI SWEET and anti floral. Aquatics may or may not work, I've only tried Y'ha-Nthlei and did not like it. (my note on it is SMELLS LIKE SWEET/FRUITY CLEAN SOAP WITH A DASH OF SALT WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE) Even with that little of scents tried on, I can already tell I'm extremely anti sweet, and anti floral unless the floral is a very very low note - Except for jasmine and lavender, I hate those in any way shape or form. Lavender literally makes me angry instead of calm.

I'm so anti sweet I even am not a fan of Snake Oil, however it may or may not be a newer imp. (it was passed on to me.)

The only one I like so far that I have tried is Malediction, that was wonderful.

I have not tried it, but wife loved Dracul, and I loved it on her too, except when it was dry it was too sweet. Somehow??

This may all because we are both butch lesbians, her more than me, but yeah. I just can't. I need some good scents! If it helps, I really liked and amped the dry note in Malediction - I assume that's the vetiver, and she loved and amped the patchouli.
