    Bawd

    Wet: Lush red roses dripping in patchouli. Drydown: Lovely soft red musk, a hint of patchouli, and a soft bloom of rose underneath. Dry: Soft, and lusciously feminine. The notes have melded together gorgeously. It is challenging to pick them out.

    Honeysuckle & Wisteria

    Wet: Gorgeously lush honeysuckle, with a sharp green stem underneath. Drydown: Faint puffs of wisteria as the honeysuckle fades, but predominantly clean and green. Quite pleasant. Dry: Mostly vegetal green, faintly floral. It's nice and unobtrusive. Definitely not what I expected.

    Beach Scene

    Wet: Sea salt, a dash of driftwood. Drydown: Masculine aquatic cologne vibe washes over the driftwood. Dry: Salt-encrusted driftwood with occasional whiffs of the cologne. Quite lovely.

    Baby’s First Chainsaw

    ITB: Eating gooey cookies in my step-dad's garage. Wet: Hot metallic grease, but strangely pleasant. Drydown: The grease calms down. BFC gives off a good dose of baking vanilla and chocolate, but layered with a bit of masculinity. Dad is totally baking cookies for the fundraiser. It's not quite foodie, but it doesn't really smell like anything else I've ever tried.

    Little Sister is Watching You

    Aged bottle: 07/2014 Wet: Cherry blossom with flashes of ozone. Dry: Predominantly cherry blossoms still, but with an undertone of spring scented detergent. It's weirdly still pretty, just kind of soapy.

    Post-Mortem Laureatus

    Wet: Soft ivy trailing with sandalwood and a squirt of cucumber. Dry: Ivy clinging close, soft and green.

    The Empty House

    Wet: A beautiful buttery pumpkin, but without the autumnal spices. Drydown: Pumpkin with a swirl of smoke Dry: Just a soft, buttery pumpkin for me. It's lovely and understated.

    A Farewell to False Love

    Predominantly lavender with something else vaguely floral underneath. It's soft and mellow, rather than the stronger herbal lavender I associate with scents like TKO. Very pretty and feminine.

    Patchouli & Neroli

    On my skin, this dries to a muted patchouli and orange creamsicle. It's a little unusual, but also pretty.

    Alcie

    Cool, sweet, green, and delicately feminine. Even hours later, I am getting pleasant wafts of it.

    The Worm Shall Revive Thee With Kisses

    This scent has very minimal throw, but is a delicious, mellow vetiver that is thick, dark and smoky. It last for a long time on my skin, but I tend to amp vetiver, so this is unsurprising.

    Lick It Now

    Delightfully sweet peppermint dipped in vanilla. It is glorious on a hot summer day.

    Berzerker

    Wet: Dark primal forest, and a thick musk. Dry: Ruggedly masculine, sexy pheromone-inducing lumberjack.
  15. Wet: Bright red musk and a something that almost seems like a toasted sugared grain. Drydown: Mostly a sweet red musk forward blend with the slight powderyness I get from dragon's blood. Dry: Not much remains after a few hours except a sweet marshmallowy scent.

    Sinoatrial Node

    Super bright lemon verbena, with a little bit of effervescence from the champagne. It's incredibly cheerful, and hangs close to the skin.

    The Torture Queen

    In the Bottle (aged since 2007): Citrusy tea. Mostly citrus though. Wet: Chrome- tipped gardenias. Drydown: The chrome fades rather quickly, and a lush gardenia drenched in green tea blossoms out from my wrist. Dry: Unfortunately, this doesn't last more than an hour on my skin. I loved it while it lasted.

    Monastery in the Mountains

    Wet: Bright, clean snow. Cool, sweet, and remote. Drydown: Still gloriously snowy, with whispers of ozone, but not overwhelming. Dry: Cool, high mountain air with tinges of snow. Very pretty.

    Gardenia, Tobacco Leaf & Oakmoss

    Wet: Gardenia, with a tiny whisper of something green, but nearly entirely gardenia. Dry: Almost purely gardenia, with something earthy grounding it slightly. Quite lovely, and now going into heavy rotation!

    Breakfast, Or Something

    Wet: Vibrant guava rolled around in some sugar, with a soft dash of milk. Hello tropical pink! Drydown: The guava tones down, and the strawberry saturates it, with a slight milky tinge. Dry: Just softly pink. Very lovely, but I was hoping the noisy guava would stick around longer.

    Caldarium

    Wet: Lovely tart dripping berries. Drydown: The berries mellow, and a soft honeyed rosemary peeps in. Dry: Herbal honey, with nary a berry in sight (or sniff).

    Leather, Black Tea & Clove

    At first, this is definitely all about the clove. The tea comes into play on the drydown, and it has a chai-esque vibe. The leather is soft, and understated. I will echo that I definitely want to see more from the leather, but this is overall a lovely clove-forward blend.

    Heart-Shaped Hot Tub Hair Gloss

    Sweet, heady red wine with a tinge of magnolia. There is a soft undercurrent of incense, but it is primarily a voluptuous red wine.

    Fae

    Wet: Bright peach and a lovely green floral. Dry: Soft green tendrils and a whisper of musk. Overall: The peach sadly was too ephemeral this time. Fae is definitely pretty, light and summery with minimal throw.

    Arachne of Lydia

    Super-aged bottle from 12/2010. Wet: Spicy clove dominates. Drydown: Still predominately clove, but there is a soft underlying sweet musk. Dry: Mulling spices with something sweeter in the background. It is pleasant, but my skin always busts out the megaphone for clove.
