  1. Wet: Strawberries and tea rose, with incense in the background. Just the right amount of sweetness to keep it from going candy-like.

     

    Dry: Incensey-cognac strawberries and tea rose. The rose isn't overpowering at all, and blends in nicely with everything.

     

    Very pretty, delicate scent.


  2. Wet: Marshmallows, coconut milk, and fruit! It's not necessarily reading as "peach" or "apricot" to me, though to be fair I can't remember if I've ever smelled apricot in a perfume before. It's VERY sweet, and a little artificial smelling.

     

    Dry: Almost spot-on to the wet stage! A little less of the coconut milk, though.

     

    I'm going to hold on to this for now and see how it ages, because the sweetness is waaaay amped on my skin.


  3. Wet: Spicy, musky, coconut, caramel. Very heady. There's a lot going on here!

     

    Dry: Too much coconut, not enough caramel for me! Not getting any of the black currant. This is like a... spicy, heady, slightly-foodie coconut scent.

     

    It's nice, but I won't need to track down a bottle.


  4. Wet: Sweet, musky leather. I wonder what the "hellhound musk" actually is, since I'm pretty sure that's where the sweet aspect is coming from.

     

    Dry: Reminds pretty much the same as the wet stage, only a bit muskier now. More of a feminine leather scent, for sure.

     

    I'll hold on to my decant! I'm not in the mood enough to wear leather to where I'll need a full bottle. ;)


  5. Wet: CAAAAAAAAAAKE. More red velvet cake than frosting currently. Yum.

     

    Dry: Still CAAAAAAAAAAKE. I was thinking this would be similar to Cake Smash, but they scents really do smell different. This scent is a bit heavier, and sticks around longer than Cake Smash and has greater throw. (Some different notes, of course.)

     

    Foodie lovers; try this!


  6. Wet: Lots and lots of dandelion! Very fresh and realistic smelling, like I'd walked outside and plucked one from the ground.

     

    Dry: The dandelion scent is much creamier now; I think it's from the white musk. Reminds me of something like Zorya P, but with dandelion added(and minus the tobacco note). Not getting any of the blackcurrant bud.


  7. Wet: Lavender and jasmine. Very fresh and clean smelling.

     

    Dry: The lavender disappeared, and the coconut emerged. Not getting any type of a "cream" note; this is mostly just coconut and jasmine on my skin.

     

    Not a scent for me, unfortunately.


  8. Wet: Grapefruit! More of a sour grapefruit note; almost artificial smelling. Very candy-like.

     

    Dry: Still an artificially-sour grapefruit scent. I'm getting a hint of a honeyed floral note in the background, but I'm not sure what it is. Almost tropical, but that could just be with the combination of notes.

     

    I like it, but I won't need to upgrade my decant to a bottle. ;)


  9. Wet: Sweet and salty frankincense, with a smidgen of candle wax.

     

    Dry: Sweet frankincense, white rose, and candle wax. It's still a little salty, but much less than the wet stage. I'm not typically a fan of roses in my perfumes, but it's very soft and pretty here. (Yay white rose!)

     

    The name of the blend fits perfectly; this is a very calming, soothing scent. I can see it becoming pretty popular! For me though, I'll just stick with the decant.


  10. Wet: The patchouli has come out swinging, followed by amber and fig. Not getting much sweetness at the moment, which I'm a little surprised by...

     

    Dry: Sweeter than the wet stage, which I'm happy about! Fig, patchouli, a little bit of red currant, and something sweet. Getting a honey note, but I think there's something else sweet in here as well. It's not coming off as the vanilla cream, so it's probably the "sugar-dusted" part of the patchouli note.


  11. Wet: Yep, I definitely agree with previous reviewers; this is sugary, fruity cereal.

     

    Dry: The marshmallow has finally come out! It smells like a marshmallow rolled in fruity cereal.

     

    I'm all about it, and will be upgrading to a big bottle.

     

    edit: Oh! I just thought of what this also reminds me of; the leftover milk after eating a bowl of fruity cereal. It smells like there's a little bit of that in here, a "milk" note or something.


  12. Wet: Cherries and cream, with a little almond.

     

    Dry: I like it! Still cherries and cream, but I'm not getting the almond note from earlier. Also... where the heck are the blackberries?! That's the note I was most looking forward to, and it's nowhere to be found.


  13. Wet: Maple syrup and cake. VERY strong on the syrup.

     

    Dry: There's something in here that's turned to plastic on the dry-down. I'm thinking it's the "cream cheese" note. It's overpowering the cake and syrup I got from earlier, unfortunately.


  14. Wet: Ohhhhh yessssss. Warm, spicy, gingerbread.

     

    Dry: One of those rare blends where the wet stage and the dry-down smells basically identical on my skin. Woo! I love wearing this in the winter. Cozy, warm, and... just so, so good. :heart:


  15. Wet: Sweet, herbal, and resinous. I'm wondering what the "embalming herbs" smell like, but I think they're the strongest component currently.

     

    Dry: Still strongly herbal. Not terrible, but not for me.


  16. Wet: Powdery orris and watered-down grapefruit. It's like if someone tried to dilute grapefruit juice by adding water to it? That's how it smells. (Plus the orris.)

     

    Dry: This has gone into candy-like territory! Like faint grapefruit and plum flavored sweetarts.

     

    While I definitely enjoy candy scents, this one is way too light on the dry-down for me.


  17. Wet: Cedar, leather, and vanilla. A little bit sweet.

     

    Dry: This is some type of miracle; my skin tends to amp cedar like no one's business, going as far as to turn a scent into Cedar Single Note. Somehow... the cedar in this blend has disappeared. I'm really, really happy about it.

     

    What I'm left with is vanilla, leather, and just a hint of sage.

     

    I think a lot of people would be crazy about this if they got the same dry-down as me; but... it's not really my thing.


  18. Wet: Sharp mandarin, ginger, and mint. A little bit of a vague floral undertone.

     

    Dry: The sharpness from the wet stage is gone, but everything else remains. The mandarin isn't what I would call "juicy", it's just kind of lingering.

     

    I don't love it, but I don't hate it. I think on the right person, this scent would really shine. ... that person isn't me, though. ;)
