Wet, this is warm amber and peach. As it dries, the peach fades into the background as the florals come to the fore. This ends up being a creamy floral with a spiced cologne background, but still feminine. Vetiver is faint and very well behaved in this. EDIT: after full dry down, the florals fade and the notes all meld together into a lovely men's cologne, with the vetiver doing an amazing job tying it all together. Slightly sweet, spiced cologne.

A surprisingly good patchouli blend (as someone who detests the note)--here, it is soft and watered down to just a hint of dark smokiness over a floral and musk background.

Wet, this is sticky sweet and smells like a half-chewed tootsie roll. Dry...mostly the same.

Wet, this is a zesty men's cologne--clean and fresh, slightly aquatic over green notes. As it dries, the aquatic note calms down and warms up a bit--this is the metal. A surprisingly good men's scent!

Wet, this is straight powdered honey--always sour as the Lab's honey tends to go on me. As this dries, the hemlock comes out and lends the powdered sour honey a dank note. Quite unpleasant.

Wet, I get primarily cedar--a deep wood note--as this dries, it fades a bit, but is still overwhelmingly cedar.

Wet, this is a heady floral with strong incense notes. As it dries, it stays mostly the same, but calms down and blends better. A thick, sticky floral blend. Not for me.

Wet, this is coconut and spiced rum. As this dries, the coconut recedes into a background note and this is mostly spices over sugary rum. Not for me.

Incense and pencil shavings.

This is a lush, uninhabited tropical island--very true to character--salty, aquatic green floral.

One of those squishy, sugary melt-on-your-tongue after dinner mints--sugar and mint--with a hint of floral in the background.

Dark, heady lily. Very lush, fresh, green and ever so slightly spicy.

A fiery Martial blend that embodies primal rage, lust for conquest, and all-encompassing desire. Dragon’s blood essence, heavy red musk, Indonesian patchouli and swarthy vetiver with a drop of cinnamon. Patchouli mainly, darkened by vetiver and a spicy, tickle-the-nose cinnamon top note. SO NOT FOR ME.

A breath of smoky patchouli hovering over currant and green moss. Very woodsy but strangely sweet.

Sweet, golden amber and vanilla. A richer Lyonnesse.

Very pretty, bright floral. Smells like something from LUSH! Lily is the key note in this, but is well behaved. Shining white lily over a bed of forest greens and a hint of sweet forest fruit.

Smells exactly like the scent list: skin, grass, and berries. Heavier on the dry grass than I would like, a little sense of dry hay. Something in the skin note goes slightly aquatic on me, while the berry stays true and sweet. Would love this if only the grass note weren't so heavy!

This is so pretty! Bright, juicy but not foody orange over a soft white musk and sandalwood base, and sweet, ripe mango in the background adding sweetness, feminine and light and pretty. A shame this is discontinued!

Definitely a strong lotus--kind of a cool,aquatic, powder floral--with a shreiking sweet background.

Wow, a lily that actually works on me! This is heady, lovely lily, but not the quite the shrieking white floral I'm used to, this is fleshier and more well grounded, there's something sweet grounding this lily. It's a fruity floral that's very pretty and bright--great for spring/summer!

A vaguely alcoholic note hovering over a plasticky, artificial peach.

A clean, gender neutral scent. I get a cologne base and primarily lavender with a hint of mint/citrus (a lavender mojito?).

This is light, fresh wet florals--a beautiful blend, with the tea rose taking center stage--but the teak poking out from beneath is just off on me.

Interesting. Something a little musky, murky and something twisted and sweet. Black licorice comes to mind.

This smells strangely like coca cola on me. Beneath that, this is a warm, rich foodie scent with spiced notes. Something akin to the Halloweenie or Yule foodie scents, not for me personally.
