Wet: .... Uh? Hello? Is anyone there? This does NOT show up on my skin wet, at ALL!

 

Dry: Oh, there you are! This is a sweet musky scent, with a touch of fruit in the background. I wish the fruits were a bit more dominant, but it's still a great blend. I'm just not sure how "me" this scent is... I need to decide whether I want to keep this or not.

 

 

3.5/5

Wet: STRAWBERRY! Not the sickly-sweet fake strawberry, either. This is a true juicy strawberry.

 

Dry: It's faded a bit.. but it's still amazing. A sweet strawberry, with a hint of green grass. I wish the scent was a bit stronger, but that just means I'll be slathering this.

 

 

4/5

(2008 Version)

 

Wet: Cake and anise.

 

Dry: I was hoping that anise would stick to the background... but on my skin, it's the star of the show. It's so strong, that this is almost a single note anise blend on me. Definitely not for me.

 

 

 

2/5

Wet: Smokey and woodsy, with a hint of sweetness in the background.

 

Dry: Smokey apple cider. Not bad, but I'll stick to Samhain for an apple cider scent.

 

 

3/5

(2007 Version)

 

Wet: An in-your-face rose, with a lot of musk.

 

Dry: A heavy floral. Rose and gardenia are the easiest notes to pick out, along with the musk. It almost has a woodsy quality to it. I'm not getting any vanilla or blood orange out of this, which I'm kind of bummed about.

This scent is lovely, just not for me.

 

 

3/5

(2007 Version)

 

Wet: LEMON! And tea. Strong and yummy!

 

Dry: The lemon is a very faint note in the background now. Instead of being a strong lemon scent with a hint of tea, this is now a strong tea with a hint of lemon. (... Even though lemon isn't a listed ingredient in this blend. Where is it coming from?!)

I could wear this to work without fearing it would be too strong, but know I'd still smell great as well. Winner!

 

 

 

4/5

Wet: Light florals, and musk.

 

Dry: My skin has almost completely eaten this scent. It's a shame really, because the scent is lovely. I can faintly smell a light floral, with a slightly musky background. I think I can pick out the sandalwood, as well. This is one of those rare floral blends that does NOT turn to soap on my skin.

 

3/5

Lovely, but I won't be holding on to it.

Wet: Sweet, tropical flowers.

 

Dry: I'm getting a faint smell of tropical flowers; I don't detect any fruit at all. Not to mention, these flowers are NOT turning soapy on my skin! That rarely happens! I can picture wearing this during the summer with a pina colada in hand.

 

 

4/5

(2008 Version)

 

Wet: I think I just got punched in the face by musk and booze.

 

Dry: Musky, boozy... baby powder. My skin almost completely ate this scent! I wasn't a big fan of the booze notes though, so I'm not TOO upset by this. I'm sure someone else will appreciate this more than me.

 

 

2/5

(2008 Version)

 

Wet: Very light musk and honey.

 

Dry: Well HELLO! On me, this smells like it could be Snake Oil's younger, sweeter cousin. The amber and musk are doing amazing things on my skin. It's gorgeous.

 

 

4/5

Only complaint? I wish it lasted longer. But for this blend, I will gladly re-apply throughout the day.

Wet: Uh.. I applied this, didn't I? I have a tiny wet spot on my wrist.. but I can't smell ANYTHING.

 

Dry: Oooohhh, there it is. I would describe this scent as light, fluffy flowers. (I'm not sure how a flower can be fluffy, but it is.) This doesn't turn soapy on me at all, which is amazing. However... I was told I smelled like an old woman when I wore this, so I won't be holding on to the bottle.

 

 

I'd give this a 3/5.

I have no doubt that this would smell amazing on the right person!

Wet: I can smell cream more than anything.. with a bit of plastic in the background. Uhoh...

 

Dry: Plastic has disappeared! I'm smelling strawberries and vanilla more than anything. Well, actually, it's more like vanilla with a hint of strawberries. Gorgeous. The scent is very light on me.. which just means I'll have to slather.

 

 

I'll give this a 4/5. Yum!

Wet: I can faintly smell a bit of rose.

 

Dry: Rose, rose, and more rose. With an undertone of.. something I can't really describe. Smokey, almost. [Helpful, right?]

I amp rose like it's nobody's business. However.. usually rose turns to rose + soap on me, and this blend does not.

 

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 2.5.

I'm hoping that the other notes will start to show themselves after a little bit of aging.

Wet: Zomg SWEET. This smells like.. well, strawberries. Covered in sugar. With a hint of cream, maybe?

 

Dry: I can smell the white chocolate now. The blend is still very, very sweet on me.

I think those who enjoy scents like Candy Phoenix and Beaver Moon will enjoy this.

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 3.5.

Omnomnom!

Wet: MINT. Menthol-y mint. Veeery sharp.

 

Dry: My skin completely ate the mint. ATE! There isn't a trace of it anymore. Actually, I can't really smell much of anything anymore. Pressing my nose against my wrist.. I'm detecting a faint aquatic smell. This didn't last long at all.

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 1.

Not a scent for me.

Wet: Rose. With a hint of frankincense. Yyyyep. My 2 worst enemies. I'll try anything once though.

 

Dry: I can't smell any frankincense anymore. Now.. it's just rose. Soapy rose. Rose, why do you always turn to soap on me?! I think we could be friends (unlike frankincense)... but no. Soap. Every. Time.

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 0. [i'm cheating on my own scale!]

Do not want!

Wet: WHOA. This is extremely sweet! It smells like.. candy. Ridiculously strong candy.

Dry: Not so in-your-face anymore. This smells exactly like sweettarts to me!
Auntie C is a nice scent.. but not something I'd really want to smell like. Luckily, my mom LOVES this scent, so I'll be sending the imp her way.


On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 3.5.
You should try this if you want to smell like candy.

I've barely made a dent in any of my bottles. It's hard for me to even imagine finishing one!

Asp Viper is my favorite scent.. and while I slather myself to no end with it, the oil level is barely below the neck.

I'm just happy knowing that my bottles will last me a very long time.

Wet: Veeery strong, and floral. It's like a group of flowers just jumped up and slapped me in the face. There's something else in there that smells slightly bitter. I kinda want to describe this as "juicy, bitter florals."

 

Dry: ... where did it go?! My skin almost completely ate this within 30 minutes. Pressing my nose against my arm, I can barely detect a slight floral scent. A floral that didn't turn to soap on my skin? That's rare! Seeing as how I'm not too fond of florals in general.. I'm not exactly heartbroken that my skin decided to inhale this.

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 2.

I'm sure that someone else[who actually enjoys florals] will love this.

I haven't been around for a live CT yet. I think my wallet would weep more if Beth did another one, than with any of the other updates.

I feel exactly the same way!

CT intrigues me to no end.

Wet: This smells very familiar.. what is that?

 

Dry: OH! This smells almost exactly like Lush's Silky Underwear dusting powder! This is one of the only jasmine scents that works on me; I can barely detect it. I can only describe this as a soft, powdery scent.

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 3.7.

I won't be needing a big bottle of this until I finish off the Silky Underwear that I have sitting in my room; they're too close to each other to need both!

Wet: Mmm... slightly spiced vanilla.

 

Dry: This is sexy, spicey, incensey vanilla. This is BEAUTIFUL. It's everything I hoped it would be, and then some! I was told that I smelled "edible" when I wore this.. it can't get much better than that. The throw on this is average, and it lasts a long time. I cannot get enough of this!

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 5.

I think I need two bottles; one to wear, one to age.

If I'm this in love with it fresh.. I can only imagine what it smells like when it "matures."

Wet: Chocolate and grapes.

 

Dry: Chocolate, grapes.. and something a little bit smokey, or musky. I'm not a big fan of the scent of wine/grapes, so this blend really wasn't for me. I'm glad that so many people love it more than I do though, because it really is nice! The scent stays on the skin for a long time, but the throw was pretty short.

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 2.5.

A great blend, just not for me!

Wet: WHOA, hellloooo cinnamon!

 

Dry: If you love cinnamon, you need this. This is smokey, dark cinnamon. It didn't turn into red hots on me, thank goodness! The throw on this is intense; a little goes a long way! It seems to last for quite some time, too. I wonder what this can layer well with?

 

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 3.5.

I'm glad I have a bottle, but I won't be needing more!

Wet: Bright, juicy pear!

 

Dry: The pear has calmed down a little bit, and the vanilla has come out. There's almost an aquatic feel to this. This smells delicious.. I didn't think I'd like pear this much! I was still catching whiffs of this 8 hours after wearing it. Fabulous.

 

 

On a scale of 1-5, I'd give this a 4.5.

I hope my bottle lasts for a long time!
