In the bottle: apple? Check. Rose? Check. Lemon? Check.

On me, wet: same three. It's like I just bit into a Granny Smith apple and I've still got it in my hand. A rose in full bloom is on the table below, as is a lemon that's been sliced in half.

As it dries down the apple fades and the rose strengthens.

Fully dry: as Gertrude Stein once wrote, rose is a rose is a rose is a rose. (No, I'm not really sure what it means, either.) In other words, rose is what I get from Delirium once dry. It's kind of a sharp rose, which might be the lemon hiding out in the back.

I'm not huge on rose-scented stuff, but obviously this is the closest to what a real rose smells like that I've ever encountered in a perfume, so I'll keep her around. (I have to confess that a big part of why I bought it in the first place is my affection for the Sandman comic character Delirium... ) I agree that this is primarily a summer scent. Good for those rose-y summer-y types.

Okay, here we go, first review...

In the imp: Oh ye gods! Straight-up wheeze-inducing whiskey.

On me, wet: still whiskey, but with a hint of spicy warmth.

It dried really quickly!

On me, dry: warm whiskey toddy, kind of gingery, with a hint of smoke. Not much throw at all.

Verdict: an enjoyable scent in terms of seeing what the Lab can do, but not really something that suits me in terms of actually wearing it. Might pounce on the boy with it later to see what it does on his skin.
