Wet, Machu Picchu smelled omg!amber on me, very sweet and heavy. I couldn't distinguish anything else, and it was giving me a headache. After about an hour, the amber calmed down and the other notes became to come out, it became a very creamy scent, with a little tropical fruitiness. After the initial amber burst, I was surprised at how much I liked this scent. The creamy fruitiness is really lovely! I don't get any clean, freshness or ozone from this, sadly. I'm not too sure about a bottle yet, but I'm keeping the imp for sure!

This scent is really young and bright. It's a lighter, very green floral--like the smell of freshly picked flowers. It's a softer scent, without much throw or staying power, but very lovely and bright, like I mentioned before. Wet, I can smell the lemon, but it fades to the background as this dries, and only adds to the "fresh"ness of the scent! A great way to remember summer during those cold winter days! I'm definitely considering a bottle!

Nocturne is a soft, understated floral. It's very sophisticated and classy because of its subtlety and complexity. Sadly, it has little staying power and faded after a few hours. Nice enough to keep the imp, but not special enough to warrant a bottle.

I love this scent! At first, it's a very sweet, warm vanilla with just a hint of tea. After a while, the musks come out, but not much, they lurk under the vanilla, but definitely make the scent much richer and deep

 

edit: I am still loving Dorian! It smells exactly like a cup of black tea with lots and lots of sugar cubes.

This is a really heavy and thick floral compared to, say, Psyche. It had good throw and lasting power, but alas, the scent is just too floral and heady for me.

In the bottle this smells like a delicious oreo cookie, with just a hint of mint. Wet, the mint overpowers the cookie scent, so it's all mint with just a hint of chocolate cookie underneath. Dry, it stays true to its bottle scent an smells like a mix between oreos and a thin mint--but there's something in there that's keeping it more complex, and so good! Definitely a keeper!

Psyche dried down to a soft, complex slightly powdery floral on me, but it faded very quickly and had little throw--I was digging my nose into my wrist after an hour or so, just trying to get a whiff. Still, it's an incredibly beautiful complex scent, I'd definitely consider buying a big bottle!

In the bottle, this smelled like a really crisp, bright floral. Wet, it smelled the same, just a little richer and spicier, but sadly, morphed into pure powder as soon as it dried, and stayed that way for the rest of the day.

In the bottle it smells like delicious, sweet apricots. I tried this on a friend before purchasing it, and on her it smelled exactly like the bottle, and dried down to only a hint of clove. Sadly, on me the scent is entire cinnamon, from the clove I think. A bit like Old Spice, without the too ripe sour smell. A nice cinnamon, but not what I had in mind when I bought the bottle. After a while it turns into a more light apricot with just a hint of clove, but by then it's nearly faded away completely. A lovely scent that just didn't work with my body chemistry.

In the bottle it comes off as a strong floral, with a just a hint of herbs. On me, it smells like a very strong delicate floral for the first few minutes, but dries down to a generic perfume-y smell. Nice, but nothing extraordinary.

 

In the bottle it's a sharp, cold scent, it almost tingles my nose! On me though, it starts off a little sharp still, but smells very strongly of apple blossoms or some other kind of floral with just a hint of vanilla. Dry down, it becomes a wonderful vanilla-floral scent, and reminds me of baking smells or cookies in the oven.

A gorgeous warm vanilla scent that subtly changes as it dries down, while still retaining its vanilla scent. A bit musky on me though, which was an odd experience combined with the vanilla. Very pretty, comforting scent!

I loved this scent! Crisp, juicy apples that dries down to a lighter floral-apple scent. Very pretty!

Poisoned Apple starts off fresh and juicy, smelling exactly like a good apple after you've taken the first crunchy bite, with a subtle perfume-y, floral musky background. As it dries, the apple fades away and the background notes come out to play, but they're beautiful. Definitely more dark and sultry than the innocence of the apple, but oh so pretty. Definitely wanting a bottle of this!
