A'ARAB ARAQ

wet: woodsy/patchouli, i think. there's a faint sweetness to it too.

dry: much the same as wet. It's a nice sweet & woodsy blend.

*GAMALIEL

wet: ooh. this one is juicy & sweet smelling. like citrus, berry & white musk. love it so far, and i just put it on!

dry: it's really nice. there is a refreshing, juicy quality to it, and a slight creamy backdrop. It's along the lines of Dorian or F5, but more fruity.

THAUMIEL

wet: ozoney, but also something a bit smokey in the background

dry: still very sharp ozone, but the "smokey" has gone and turned very plastic-smelling. I'm not a fan of ozones, so this one is not for me.

*GOLACHAB

wet: juniper berries? it's sweet, but not the typical sweetness encountered with most fruit blends, and there's a super faint evergreen note to it.

dry: still fruity, with a bit of greenery to it. there may even be a bit of spice to it as well. it reminds me a bit of a strawberry Malkuth. Huh.

GHA'AGSHEBLAH

wet: smells like my deodorant...no, seriously. It's kind of a "fresh/clean" scent.

dry: still very sharp floral. I think that some sort of lily may be the culprit. I love it in blends when it adds a cool, "crystaline" note, but here it's just sharp & cloying, which is just overwhelming my nose.

SATHARIEL

wet: florals... and something else. I am becoming more and more horrible at picking out notes.

dry: warm, slightly floral, and slightly resiny. i think it might be myrrh, which tends to go a bit bitter on me. it's not terribly strong, and I'm having a hard time describing it or picking out a note. It's pretty, but just not something that's calling to me.

NAHEMOTH

wet: patchouli, and a berry note? something sweet, at any rate.

dry: the berry note reminds me of red phoenix. it is a bit sour on me, and overwhelming any other notes that might be lurking. There might be a bit of a dry wood/incensey note behind it, but i'm too distracted by berry/plum/whatever fruit this might be.

SAMAEL

wet: uh. not liking this. it's like bad, sour floral notes and socks. that's one way to poison god, i guess.

dry: This is one of the rare oils that just goes totally wrong and awful on me. It's a really floral blend (of the sort that must be made entirely of flowers i dislike, like lilies & irises) backed by possibly honey? But it really smells like old, stale flowers, and dirty laundry. It is a testament to my love of bpal that i've had it on for over an hour to review it. Ugh. Total thumbs down on this one.

THAGIRION

wet: a hint of mint and a hint of citrus. fairly pleasant.

dry: it's still really nice. light, clean, fresh. the mint note isn't quite as strong (which wasn't all that strong to begin with), but it's just barely detectable. This would make an outstanding summer scent! It reminds me a bit of Usher.

GHAGIEL

wet: more floral notes. It smells vaguely familiar, yet I can't pick any note out.

dry: more vague notes! I have no idea what I'm smelling. It's very light with a hint of spice to it. the floral note i'm most able to detect is cool and light, maybe muget? everything else ould be a total guess, and most likely wrong.
