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.
-
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.
-
Wet: Peach, musk, and tea. Fairly light, not much throw.
Dry: Everything from the wet stage, with more peach and a little bit of vanilla now! This is so, so pretty. Kind of a light, ethereal peach tea scent.
-
Wet: Strawberry and honey! The strawberry is nice and sweet.
Dry: All the notes come through on the drydown! Strawberry, honey, and just a tad bit of pear. Definitely more of a fresh strawberry, not candy-like at all.
Keeper!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Wet: Bubblegum hits me first, with a little Snake Oil trailing behind.
Dry: This went a little plastic-y on me, and the bubblegum note is super faint. Snake Oil is the star of the show.
I love me some Snake Oil, but this version didn't "wow" me.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Yipe!

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Wet: Sweet metal, and a little sage. A little soapy smelling.
Dry: Full-blown soapy cologne. Bah!
-
-
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.
-
Wet: Salt and cedar. ... neither which seem to be listed as notes!
Dry: Still some salty cedar, not really any change from the wet stage. Cedar(or anything that smells similar to cedar) is not my jam.
-
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.
-
Wet: HOO spicey! Nose full of those Moroccan spices.
Dry: The same spices from the wet stage, with an added sweetness(the honey?), and a splash of red musk.
It's not bad, but it's not for me.
-
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.

YUMMM.
This is a deliciously sweet hair gloss. To me, this smells like F#@K plus guava cotton candy. Definitely heavier on the cherry note than the guava.
