Wet: Okay, I know it says "clean" in the description.. but I didn't expect it to smell THIS clean! Clean, sweet, tobacco. A little ozone-y. Dry: Everything in the wet stage, plus some leather. I.. am surprised by how much I like this! Not typically a fan of leather. Not sure that it's bottle worthy, but I definitely want to hold onto my imp.

Wet: Amaretto and cherries! Dry: The coconut has appeared, though it has more of a toasted coconut kind of smell to it. This is mostly just coconuts and amaretto now; the cherry scent has mostly faded, but there's still some sweetness left over. Yum!

Wet: Fruit fruit fruit fruit fruit and fruit. The currants are sticking out to me the most, but it's more or less a giant fruit salad. Dry: Currants are still the stars of the show. It's very, very juicy smelling. I think I can pick out some cantaloupe now as well, but much like the wet stage, it's basically just a giant fruit salad.

These long-dead scents are back for a limited time in a slightly tweaked form! A raven-haired Fairy Queen of Ireland. One of her eternal duties dictates that she must hold a midnight court every season and hear the pleas of married Irishwomen. The court serves only to determine whether or not husbands are adequately serving their wife's sexual needs. A judicious yet powerfully sensual blend, a mingling of justice and sexuality: sage, sweet pea, bold pale musk and warm tonka. (Side note: I haven't tried the original, so I can't really do a comparison.) Wet: Sweet, warm musk, and hint of sage. This is very light on the skin; I had to do multiple swipes with the imp wand to get a good sniff. Dry: I don't think I would describe this as a "warm" musk anymore; it's very clean smelling. It's mostly musk, and sage on me. Sweet pea is a note I really enjoy, but I'm not getting any from this. I'm not sure where the tonka is hiding, either. (This is still incredibly light on the skin, btw.) I'll set this aside to re-test in a few weeks, but it's not really working for me right now.

Wet: A sweeter, chillier version of normal Dorian. Dorian and vanilla snow? Dry: YUM. Okay. The snowy aspect of the blend has died off, and it smells like marzipan and Dorian now. This is SO, so good. (As a side note; there's a lot of comparisons to Snow White in the reviews. It's been years since I've tried that blend, but it was absolutely HORRIBLE on my skin, so I'm not getting the comparison.)

Wet: Something citrus(grapefruit?), and floral. Ozone as well. Definitely has that "hazy" quality to it. On the sweet side! Dry: Okay, may not grapefruit? Still some citrus, floral, and ozone. The ozone is much lighter now, and the sweetness has amped up. I think the floral might be jasmine, but it usually turns soapy on my skin, and is not here. So... a sweet citrus-floral with ozone.

Wet: Warm sandalwood and mandarins. Lovely! Dry: The sandalwood is a little stronger than the wet stage now, but I'm still getting some sweetness from the mandarin and mango. I can see how this could go soapy on some people, but it's rather flattering on me! Keeper.

Wet: WHEW, that grapefruit went straight up my nose. Grapefruit, and apple blossom! Dry: The ginger showed up, and there's something... medicinal-smelling about the blend now. It's a bit bitter and sour smelling now as well. For some reason this combination of notes just is NOT working on me.

Wet: Much lighter and cleaner smelling than I thought! The coconut, tobacco, and linen are mostly what I'm getting. It's quite nice! Dry: The bay rum has come out in full force! The tobacco note is gone. There's still a clean linen smell, a little coconut, and just a hint of leather. I much, much preferred the wet stage!

A nearly-narcotic blend of opiate-touched bark and blossom reflective of the bleakness and solitude of winter, the quietest point of the year : black opium poppy, bamboo pulp, ylang ylang, lavender, chamomile and white sandalwood. Wet: Sharp lavender, chamomile, and something with a "green" quality to it. The bamboo pulp, I'm guessing. Dry: A lovely lavender chamomile scent; I'm glad the initial sharpness from the lavender ended up fading away. The name of this blend is pretty much perfect, I can see a lot of people putting this on before they go to bed. Very relaxing.

Wet: Sour baby powder. My nose kind of shriveled up when I smelled this. Dry: Gah, nope. It's somehow a bit more sour than the wet stage. Not getting any kind of lemony sweetness or anything that others have talked about.

Wet: Cherry and a little bit of honey! Kind of giving me a Luden's cough drop vibe. (If you've never had them, Luden's cherry cough drops taste like candy. I'm not even sure they're that effective, but they taste good, and they're always in my cupboard.) Dry: Sweet cherries, a hint of honey... and a tad bit of baby powder. BAH. I'll still hold on to my imp, but this would have been bottle-worthy if it wasn't for the baby powder smell.

Wet: Cold, slightly minty, vanilla-coated cherries. Dry: With anything cherry, I think a lot of people worry about it going cough-syrupy. Well here, the cherry hasn't! ... Mainly because it's totally gone now. :| All I can really smell is a sweet vanilla mint. While I do like it(the mint is light enough for me; I'm not really fond of the scent of mint), I think it's a bit disappointing that the cherry didn't last long.

Wet: Red musk and .... sugar. Strawberry candy, maybe. Dry: A lovely sugared red musk. It's about 50/50 on my skin, and I'm pleasantly surprised! I was worried the red musk would dominate too much, but it's sharing nicely with whatever sugary-sweetness is in this blend. I'll be holding on to my decant! I'm surprised this wasn't more popular.

Wet: Fizzy lemon and ginger cocktail. Strong on the ginger! Dry: The effervescence has died off a bit. This is primarily ginger ale now, with a pretty weak throw.

Wet: Hot chocolate and cinnamon! Dry: Faded hot chocolate and cinnamon! I'm glad the coffee never comes out on me, because it's not a note I'm particularly fond of. Also of note; my skin can be sensitive to cinnamon, and it's never been an issue with this blend.

Wet: Rich vanilla cake and currants. Sweet, foodie perfection. Dry: A little bit sweeter than the wet stage, with all the same notes. Vanilla cake soaked in currants. Delicious. Amazing. A must-try for all foodie lovers!

Wet: Sweet, warm, amber. A slight bit of sandalwood, as well? Dry: The amber is lighter, and I'm not sure it was sandalwood I was smelling earlier. This is the smell of.. oak? Teak? Whatever it is, I'm not the biggest fan. Amber does really well with aging, so I'm going to set this aside for a while. If it doesn't improve with age, I'll be letting go of it.

Wet: Fresh pine and spiced cake. Dry: The pine is almost completely gone, and I'm left with the spiced cake scent. There's a small addition of chocolate now, as well. I like it! I'll be holding onto my imp.

Wet: Much fresher smelling than I thought this would be! Lilies and opium. Dry: Very similar to the wet stage... but now there's some soapiness going on. This was going to be a surprise hit for me, but Soapy McSoaperson had to go and ruin it for me.

Wet: Grass, something herbal, a little tobacco, and... soap. Dry: The green cognac has come out, and is very distinct. Blending in nicely with the tobacco. It's become only borderline-soapy now, which is a major improvement. This is much, much better than the wet stage. I'm torn on this scent. I think I'll be OK with just a decant's worth.

Wet: Milk chocolate! There's something almost dusty or powdery smelling to it, too. Like cocoa powder, sitting on top of hot chocolate when it's not mixed in enough. Dry: Just about identical to the wet stage, only with the addition of something vanilla-y. Marshmallow, maybe? This is a great chocolate blend! Better than bliss, IMO.

These long-dead scents are back for a limited time in a slightly tweaked form! As light and innocent as your first time should have been. The fresh scent of lotus hidden behind lightly scented flowers, amber, and citrus. (Side note: can't remember what the original version smells like, so I can't do a comparison.) Wet: First hit with LOTS of amber! It's a very fresh, "green" amber, as odd as that may sound. Pretty strong throw, I almost knocked myself out sniffing my wrist! Dry: Very, very similar to the wet stage. Still a fresh, "green" amber scent. There's a light floral background note, but it's not strong enough for me to figure out. Kind of reminds me of a lily, but don't take my word on that! Not getting any citrus, unfortunately. The throw has calmed down to what I would call average. I'm glad I tried this out, but I won't need to upgrade to a big bottle.

Unexpected... but I'd have to agree with previous reviewers; this smells like fruity cereal. I'm getting more of a Fruit Loops kinda vibe. Not getting ANY mint, which is what I was hoping for! After it's been on the hair for a little while, it's much more marshmallow-y. So... marshmallows and fruit loops. I'm into it.

Wet: Sweet, strong, melon! With something... green. It smells like green, juicy fruits. Dry: The melon is still there, but not as strong as the wet stage. Still very "green" smelling, and I think I can pick out bamboo and either orange or tangerine now. Less juicy then the wet stage, but still very nice. Green fruit salad! This is like a "green" version of Fruit Moon on me.
