I found Moana to be the equivalent of sniffing the ocean breeze through a dense thicket of tropical flowers. There's a little spice to be had as well. Lovely fragrance.

In the imp: Sharp green bamboo

 

Wet: Sharp and a little sour

 

Dry: The bamboo recedes a bit and hibiscus comes forward, proceeding to turn a bit powdery. Super strong.

Yummo! This scent goes on as vanilla but as it dries, the ginger comes out to play. It strikes the perfect balance and is simply beautiful.

Wow is this gorgeous!! A rich deep spicy amber is what I pick up. When it dries, it has an incense quality. I adore this scent.

VIOLET!

 

That is all.

When wet, Seraglio is sweet spicy almonds.

 

When it dries, I get nothing at all.

This starts out as freshly mown lawn after a summer shower. After it dries, it turns just a slight bit sweeter. I am not sure that I want to smell like my back yard, but it is an amazing scent.

When I put this on and went "ooooh" I should have known at once that my beloved amber was one of the notes. On me, Tamora is warm and almost incense-ish. It is definitely a full fragrance but not heavy. I love it.

Interestingly enough, this scent smells exactly like Dove soap when it dries. Nothing more.

Very interesting! It's a storm in my nose and in my head! Ozone and lightning... thunder.

Unfortunately, it fades quickly and ends up smelling like air freshener.

Hmmm. In the imp and wet, I smell nothing but coconut. After it dries, it gets powdery and smells like the skin of my favorite doll when I was a child. Weird.

Oh, wow. I adore plumeria and when wet, this scent is chock full of plumeria goodness. The sandalwood comes through after it dries and plumeria moves into the background. That makes me sad. The scent takes on a powdery quality that I am not nuts about. *sigh*

In the bottle and wet: Cherry lifesavers! Red lollipops!

 

Dry: Dries to floral- the candy is gone but it retains a hint of sweetness.

 

Very strong!!

Blueberry and papaya- the papaya is the stronger note. There is a tiny bit of lemongrass in the background but I am not getting the sharpness that others have commented on.

 

This is a beautifully tropical scent- it just fades to practically nothing in less than an hour. Blue Fire is definitely to be slathered generously and often.

In the bottle: Tangerine

Wet: Mixed tropical fruit

Dry: Softens to orange/floral soap

Not bad

Tangy fruit- I definitely smell pineapple here. Dries down to a mishmash of tropical fruits with a splash of rum.

Screeching Parrot starts out screaming grapefruit. It quickly tones down and the ginger and apricot take over. It is a warm, sweet but not overly cloying scent. Very nice.

In the bottle: Ash and green wood

 

Wet: The scent is a bit woodier now

 

Dry: Softens and sweetens a bit but still rather woody and ashy

 

OK but not magnificent.

I wasn't too sure about this one because in the bottle, all I can smell is rum. Don't get me wrong. Rum is lovely but I don't particularly want to smell like I've just come from happy hour.

Wet, the rum recedes immediately as pineapple takes the lead. There's bit of coconut here too. It IS like a pina colada. Still not something I want to be wearing when the director of the agency or the Commissioner drops by. *hic*

Fortunately, the vanilla picks up a little power and begins to blend with the fruit. What I am left with is soft and refreshing. And I don't smell like booze. Yippee!!!

Um. No. Smelling like earth and dead flowers is not my thing.

This was a recent frimp from the lab. What I get mostly from Taurus is oakmoss and rose... nothing else.

Beautifully tropical. Gardenia and orchids, sprinkled with vanilla and incense. The problem is that the scent is gone within an hour.

This is way too sweet for me. It reminds me of figs drenched in honey, topped with brown sugar. I get nothing green or woody at all.

This is lovely. 12 hours later, I can still smell the scent of soft florals sprinkled with musky incense.

I hoped I would like this. Unfortunately it DOES smell like Lemon Pledge.
