Bottle: Poppy flowers Wet: Very generic overpowering flowers with stems. I don't usually do well with florals, but thought I'd give it a chance. It's amping a lot on me, though, so definitely a no-go. Drydown: Even when I don't like a scent, it amazes me how Beth and the Lab manage to get a scent so 'spot-on' with how I exactly thought it should and would smell like. I don't like this scent, but it's poppy flowers, so exactly as described. 2.5 outta 5

Bottle: Spicy and medicinal tea? Wet: This is very confusing to my nose, because I keep looking for the wasabi but am not really getting it. But there is a twang, so I suppose that's the wasabi. It's sweet and medicinal at the same time. Drydown: It's a very interesting scent, not really a scent I'd love to wear as a perfume, but I do enjoy smelling it. 3.0 outta 5

Bottle: olde fashinioned Root beer Wet: Smells like those root beer barrels, but slightly more upscale. Goes on very light on me. Drydown: This isn't medicinal on me at all, but I'm not sure if I want to smell like root beer or not! Might try it layered with a vanilla scent, to see if I can get a root beer float out of it. 3.0 outta 5 -
Bottle: Honeyed fruit Wet: Exactly like before-it's fruit that's been marinading in honey. Don't know why anyone would do that, but it smells good. Drydown: I don't love honey, despite my name. It has an odd note to it that I just don't like, but I'm not getting it with this. 2.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: Generic floral Wet: Overpowering floral with a softness that I wish I could smell more. I hate amping florals! There's a softness there, that's really beautiful and my nose can't get at it. Drydown: Reminds me of Ivanushka and a floral bpal layered. Not my scent. 2.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: Sophisticated floral Wet: Very floral, but not your typical flower shop scent. Grown up and classy, and feminine without being blowsy. Drydown: It got heavier as it dried, which made it more lovely. 3.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Patchouli and leather Wet: I'm not a big fan of patchouli, but this is a very nice masculine scent. It's sexy and crisp, the sea notes really come out. Drydown: Far too masculine on me, this might be a winner on DH. 3.0 outta 5 (very high rating for something with patchouli in it)
-
Bottle: Lily and pears Wet: Lily, rose and pears, very light and airy. Very feminine. Drydown: As usual the rose amps and now I can't smell anything but that. But while it's wet, it's nice. 2.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: Masculine carnation Wet: Very Zestfully clean, cute guy getting out of the shower, type of scent. I'd die to smell this on DH. Drydown: Earthy, soapy and sexy. Three words I'd never thought to use together before, but it works. 3.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Tea and herbs Wet: Very green and herbally, kind of medicinal. I was hoping for more ginger and fig, but I'm not really getting any. Drydown: Sharp, soapy and herbally. Really not my kind of scent. 2.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Rose and sugar Wet: Unfortunately, rose amps on me. I say unfortunately, because this is the most beautiful rose scent I've ever smelled. It's very green but sweet as well. Drydown: This has amped so unbearably, that I need to shower. It's all I smell! 2.0 outta 5 on me, 3.0 in the bottle
-
Bottle: Sour wine and rose Wet: This is actually not bad on me, the wine smells a bit sour, but the musk makes it bearable. Drydown: Nope, never mind. Attar of rose has amped. 2.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: Patchouli, ack! Wet: The patchouli and red musk are overwhelming and amp to such a degree that I had to wash this one off, sorry! Drydown: Patchouli is just so strong on me, that I don't get any other notes. Even if I did get other notes, I just don't like it. 2.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Rose, ack! Wet: Why does rose have to amp so much? This would be a nice scent if I didn't amp it. Drydown: I can smell the lemon and currant in the background, making this more complex than your basic rose scent. 2.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: Rum and pineapple, some raspberry Wet: I get pineapple and rum, with berries and misc. other fruits. Drydown: There's a fun and fizzy undertone to this, that keeps it from being too grown up. 3.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Ash Wet: Masculine and green, very ashy and smoky. Drydown: Actually, a bit of a perfumey note is coming out now that it's dry. 2.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: rum and pineapple Wet: Like a classy pina colada Drydown: There's a touch of vanilla, almost like a frozen pina colada with ice cream in it. Kinda foody, but I like it. 3.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Dark coconut Wet: Dark coconut, musk and lemon. Very sexy and slightly foody, but not much. Drydown: The lemon keeps this from being too dark for me, which I'm always afraid of. I really like this, but I'm not sure it's bottle worthy. 3.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Cherry and mint Wet: Cherry coke with a sprig of mint and liquor in it. Drydown: A very fresh drink, but not my type. 2.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: Apricot and ginger, rum Wet: I've never smelled such a realistic apricot! It smells like an apricot that's been soaking with rum and ginger slices. Drydown: The pink lime and grapefruit come out just a bit, a little bitter and not sweet at all. Very nice 3.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: Orchid Wet: Orchid, gardenia and incense Drydown: Reminds me of a lighter version of Midnight on the Midway, and more girly. 3.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Pine Wet: Pine, smoke and incense, sexy on someone more dangerous than me! On me it seems like I'm playing dressup! Drydown: This is a very sexy scent, but it's just not matching my personality. Might try it on my husband later. 3.0 outta 5
-
Bottle: Vanilla and ginger Wet: Slightly floral vanilla and non-foody ginger. Very understated and classy. Drydown: Reminds me a bit of Mouse's long and sad tale, because of the floral vanilla, but like this better. 3.0
-
Bottle: Fresh and green Wet: Grassy and fresh, clean. Drydown: Not as floral as I thought it would be, but still not what I was hoping for. Glad I tried it, though! 2.5 outta 5
-
Bottle: Blueberry and lemongrass Wet: Blueberry and lemongrass with a boozy zing that screams grown-up! Drydown: Very fruity and boozy, love the lemongrass note. I might need a second bottle, cause my husband loves it! 3.5 outta 5
