Wet: Sweet, and aquatic. A tiny bit floral.

Dry: Almost exactly the same as the wet stage! Very light, sweet, aquatic floral.. that manages to not turn soapy on my skin.

I think it's nice, but not something I'm really drawn to wearing.

Wet: A vague bit of sweetness, but I can't smell much else. It's incredibly light.

Dry: Very light... sweet tarts? The dry-down of this is similar to the LE "Like Father, Like Daughter" on me. (I actually think I prefer that, though.)

I like it, but this is one I'd need to slather! I'll enjoy my imp, but I don't think I'll go for a bottle.

Wet: HOLY CRAP that is some THROW. Juicy, bright, and bitter. And throw. Lots, and lots of throw. Like, it's in my mouth and choking me.

Dry: Well, this is the first scent I didn't wait for the dry-down on and had to wash off almost immediately. I'm a bit disappointed, because I'm a big fan of cherry blossom scents(and tea!), and was excited to try this one.

If you're looking for a scent strong enough to knock you on your ass, give this one a go.

I need to go buy some coffee beans to sniff(or maybe snort) now or something, because I think this scent lodged into my sinus cavities.

Wet: Cake, cake, and more cake! The frosting is present as well.

Dry: Still cake and frosting, but with some depth that wasn't there on the wet stage. It might be the Snake Oil peeking in, but it's not full-blown.

It's a really yummy scent. Almost... uh... sexy cake, maybe?

Yum! This is a very tart key lime pie. Wet, you can smell both a good amount of the key lime, and the pie crust.

As it dries, you're left with more pie crust than lime, but there's still a good amount of lime to keep this from being a heavy foodie scent.

I'm a total foodie lover, and was looking for a "bright" foodie hair gloss for summer; this is perfect!

Wet: This is going to be a weird description, but... warm, clean, and sweet. No individual notes are really standing out except for the amber.

Dry: Red currants with amber and honey. It's actually not very sweet, it's more "warm" than anything. I think this would be rather nice for bed time! I look forward to how this one will age.

Wet: Candied pear! Yis yis yis.

Dry: Strawberry and pear hard candy. The throw is weak on this, but for me, it's so yummy it's worth slathering.

Wet: Deepened, darkened dragon's blood; dragon's blood and myrrh, with a tiny bit of clove.

Dry: Very, very similar to the wet stage. I think whatever cherry was in this, my skin ate up.

I'd say the clove is popping out just a bit more than the wet stage, but otherwise, it's all the same. It's like a deep, smokey dragon's blood.

I enjoy dragon's blood scents, but this one has left me a little "meh"; though that's not the blend's fault, I'm just not the biggest fan of clove.

Wet: Wet flowers. It's more like the leaves of the flowers than the flowers themselves, if that makes sense.

Dry: Ah, as I expected... soapy flowers and leaves.

I like some aquatic scents, but aquatic + flowers generally mean death on my skin.

Wet: Juicy pear.

Dry: Still juicy pear, but some vanilla is finally joining the party. The honey note isn't really registering on my skin, or at least, it may just be blended in with the vanilla cream.

Pear is one of my FAVORITE notes, and this blend definitely does it justice.

Wet: Honey and cookies! No tea, yet.

Dry: Ah, there's some tea! This is more cookies and honey on my skin, with the tea in the background.

I dig this one. Yum!

Wet: Primarily leather, with a little bit of lavender.

Dry: Cologne and leather. The lavender faded, and I'm not really sure what's adding to the sweetness; probably the lemon peel.

Leather can sometimes amp on me to headache-inducing, but it seems to be OK here. Still not my cup of tea, though.

Wet: White musk, with just a hint of a floral in the background. Very, VERY light.

Dry: Musky apricot, with a hint of orange blossom. The scent is still quite light, though; I have to shove my nose against my skin to smell it.

This is really pretty, but I don't think I'll need a full size; the throw isn't great enough, IMO.

Wet: The only thing that's popping out is the honey wine. It's got a nice sweetness to it. I like it!

Dry: Smokey honey wine and... baby powder. :|

Dag nabbit. I enjoyed the wet stage, but the dry down killed it for me. I feel like with the right skin chemistry, this could probably smell amazing. (If that's you, I'm jealous.)

Wet: Have you ever smelled "Angels on Bare Skin", the face cleanser by Lush? That's what this smells like to me. Lavender, and something a little astringent.

Dry: A much stronger version of the wet stage. The lavender is very, very strong... and it's no longer a "little" astringent. There's something I didn't smell during the wet stage though, that I can only describe as "clean".

Either way, this scent is not for me, and I think it's starting to give me a headache. I prefer TKO for a lavender scent.

Wet: Almond blossom is center stage, with a little red currant in the background.

Dry: The currant, almond blossom, and rice milk have "melted" together. It's a little bit sweeter than the initial application, and I'm reallllllly liking it.

Not sure I'm getting any tea from this; the other notes may have overpowered it.

[No additional description provided.]

Disclaimer - This scent has, by far, caused the most confusion to my nose out of any other scent I've ever smelled.

Wet: For the most part, it smells like neroli to me. There's also some kind of metallic tinge going on, though. Maybe a little clean smelling as well. Herbal too?

Dry: The scent has faded quite a bit upon drydown. It now smells like all of the above, plus maybe something floral in the mix. (Not a strong floral scent, very light.) A little sweeter than the wet stage, too.

Thanks, nose! It's not a bad scent to me, it's just... an experience. I feel like my nose went on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Wet: Candied dragon's blood!

Dry: This smells remarkably similar to my favorite bedtime scent, Dragon's Milk. The main difference is this blend is MUCH sweeter on my skin, however it still smells comforting and stays close to the skin like DM. I quite like it!

If you like dragon's blood and it plays well with your skin, you would like this blend. I'm glad to have my bottle!

Wet: Cake and flowers! Not getting any lavender.

Dry: If someone smeared a bunch of white flowers with frosting, it would smell like this!
I think if you’re a fan of florals but not foody scents, you would still like this. (Goes the other way as well.)

Wet: Pastries, with EXTRA sugary sweetness.

Dry: The pastry note from earlier has mostly died off, and I'm left with something that smells like.. a super sugary buttercream, with a hint of something jammy.

I started writing a list of my current favorite Spring scents... but it started to get a liiiittle out of control, so I'm narrowing it down to five.

Mouse's Long and Sad Tale

Hanami

Hod

Fortuna Liberum

Mariposita

Bump! Anyone have any new, favorite metallic scents from the past few years?

I'm so sad that Tin Foil Hat was only made as an imp; it's my favorite metallic scent I've tried, and I don't even know what's in it!

Wet: Straight up honey, honey.

Dry: Yep. Still honey! Not getting any kind of pink pepper note; it could be that my skin ate it, or it’s such a small amount I’m having a hard time identifying it.

If you’re a fan of honey scents, I highly recommend this. For me, it’s nice, but won’t need a big bottle.

Wet: I've been trying to figure out how to describe the wet stage, and this is the best I can come up with; milky nutty honey. (Say that 5 times fast.)

Dry: Very similar to the wet stage, with the addition of fig. The milk note is heavier now, if that makes sense.

While I think it's a nice, pleasant scent, I don't think I'll need a big bottle. (I almost think I'd like it more as an atmosphere spray!)

Wet: LEMON. Lots of lemon.

Dry: I can understand why people are getting a lemon poppyseed vibe from this. It’s like that... plus patchouli on my skin.
Kind of funky, and not really the biggest fan.
