Wet: Gingerbread cookie.. with a hint of orange, maybe? Not as strong of a ginger scent as Gingerbread Poppet, but still a prominent ginger note to my nose.

Dry: A delicate, sweet ginger. This doesn't have such a baked goods vibe anymore, but it's still nice and "warm" smelling.

2010 version.

Wet: Spiced vanilla honey. Smooth, and a little musky as well. Amazing.

Dry: Smells very similar to the wet stage. The honey is playing nice, and didn't turn to baby powder on me. Stunning, and it's only gotten better with age.

I HIGHLY recommend picking up a bottle of this if you're a fan of Snake Oil. It's so, so good.

Wet: Juicy, green, and fruity. Nice!

Dry: The scent has faded quite a bit. This is mostly just bamboo now, with a hint of florals. Too bad, the wet stage was SO nice.

Wet: Mmmmm, candied pumpkin. There's a lot of warmth to this.

Dry: A little bit of the citrus has come out. A warm, sugary, citrus-infused pumpkin is the best way I can describe this. I want to wrap myself in a blanket of this come fall and winter.

Wet: Strong booze and fruit.Exactly what the name of the blend is; this smells like spiked fruit punch.

Dry: Surprisingly similar to the wet stage! The scent isn't as strong, but it's still a boozy fruit punch.

Glad to have a bottle!

Wet: WHOA. Eucalyptus. Very strong eucalyptus. I think this just cleared my sinuses.

Dry: A faint citrus-eucalyptus. The pine isn't detectable(thankfully), but eucalyptus isn't a scent I'm fond of.

Wet: Lemon-scented... dryer sheets? With something fizzy in the background.

Dry: My skin ate most of the scent; what remains is a very light lemon effervescence. It's nice, but I wish it had a greater throw.

Wet: Very light honey, which I'm assuming is the honey musk coming through. A tiny bit of tea is in the background, but this is mostly honey on my skin. It's very pleasant.

Dry: My skin has almost completely eaten this scent. It's now a very faint honey, with a little more sweetness than the wet stage. I'm guessing that's the vanilla bean? It's nice, but I have to press my nose against my wrist to smell it, because there's no throw. Darn.

Wet: A sharp, in your face, woodsy scent. There is nothing subtle about this blend.

Dry: A very "green" dragon's blood. Not as intense as the wet stage, but still not a scent for me.

Wet: Helllllllo, sweet patchouli!

Dry: The vanilla has come out to play. This is a creamy, vanilla-based patchouli scent. Lovely.

4/5

Wet: Fizzy and citrusy! I'm not sure if it's lemon or orange; I can smell carbonation more than anything.

Dry: Same as wet! This will be a great refreshing scent for summer.

4/5

Wet: Cocoa powder!

Dry: Cocoa powder! This scent is lighter than the initial application, but it still smells exactly the same.

If you're looking for a nice milk chocolate scent, I would highly suggest checking this out! It's awesome, I'm just not sure if I want to smell like this.

3/5

Wet: This smells like a... perfumed vegetable garden. Very, very green.

Dry: My skin ate this one up, for sure; this is very light on me. This smells like being outside on a bright sunny day in a vegetable garden. I feel like if you were outside tending your vegetable garden all day then came back inside, this scent is how you would smell.

This is an interesting, evocative scent... but it's not for me.


2/5

Wet: Sweet musk.

Dry: Really, really light musk. Not so amazing on its own, but I can see how this one would be great for layering!

3/5

Wet: Yum! "Warm" and foody. Smells like a slightly sweet cookie fresh out of the oven.

Dry: Plastic. .... Wtf?!

Really, really disappointed. This was so promising!

1/5

I'm planning on busting out my imp of Fruitcake tomorrow; Christmas is the only time I'll let myself wear it.

Wet: Well, I know what every note in this blend smells like... except peony. So I'm guessing that's what I'm smelling! It's a sweet peony scent. Very nice.

Dry: YUM! This is a keeper, for sure. It's a very sweet, peachy floral scent on my skin with a touch of amber. This is a good floral for those who florals usually don't work well on (Read: Me! Florals usually go super soapy on my skin).

The scent dries a bit light on my skin, which just means I'll need to slather it.

4/5

Wet: Sharp, sweet patchouli.

Dry: This is a sweet patchouli-leather scent on my skin. No vanilla, no honeysuckle, no sarsaparilla. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bummed out, as this was the NYCC exclusive I was most looking forward to. However, I know a lot of other people would absolutely love this scent.

I'll probably give this a few months to see if it changes. If not, then it's off to swaps!

1/5

For the day, I'm wearing Sticky Pillowcase! Tonight, I'll be wearing Punkie Night.

Wet: Sweet, spicy pumpkin and peach.

Dry: Super light pumpkin, with a hint of plastic.

2/5

Wet: Butter and... soap and plastic? I am not happy.

Dry: VERY strong buttery... plastic. Get this off of me!

1/5

This is a creamy, delicious vanilla when you first apply it to your skin (I don't take baths, I just rub a small amount of oil into my skin during my showers). As it dries, the rice flower comes out a bit. It is awesome.

If you love vanilla, this is a must have. This easily pairs with a lot of perfumes, as well.

This is a spicy pumpkin pie. Heavy on the pumpkin, and don't expect a dollop of whip cream on top.

This is a MUST for pumpkin or foody lovers. It smells delicious, and lingers on your skin for hours. (I don't take baths, so I take a small amount of oil and rub it into my skin during my showers.) Lovelovelove.

I hate strong lavender. This scent, however, is like a big fluffy lavender marshmallow. It's lovely.

The oil itself sinks into your skin fairly quickly. It isn't greasy, and the scent lingers for quite a while.

Highly recommended.

For Halloween(and Halloween-related events), here's what I'll be wearing:

Sticky Pillowcase

Fizzy Jack O Lantern

Any of the Pumpkin blends

Ghoulish

Spiked Punch

And something blood-related for my costume. Haven't really figured out what though! I need to dig through my massive imp collection. (I'm going as a nurse from Silent Hill.)
