    The Hesperides

    In the bottle it's apples. Wet it's OMG-OVERPOWERING-APPLES-GET-IT-OFF. But I'm crazy and let it dry. When it dries it's bearable, the apple is there with an underlying bitterness. I'm normally an apple fan but there's some not to this that my nose doesn't like.

    Desdemona

    In the bottle it's a watery floral, mostly carnation. Wet and dry it turns to bathroom cleaner. Not pleasant.

    Cobra Lily

    In the bottle it's a sharp citrus. Wet it's floral with a bit of a spicy bite, almost Christmas scents. As it dries the spice mellows and the end result is a musky floral. Okay, but a bit strong.

    House of Night

    In the bottle it's evergreen and spice with a hint of floral and smoke. Wet it's almost musky. When it dries there's a bit of spice left, a hint of mint, but the floral and smoke rule now. Unexpectedly pleasing, since on me floral normally turns to soap.

    Goneril

    In the bottle it was mostly cedar with a bit of florals. Wet the orchid came out. Dry it's cedar and lemon?? Very odd. Pleasant, but not sure if I'd use it often.

    Les Fleurs du Mal

    In the bottle it's all wisteria. Wet the rose and lily comes out to play. Dry it turns to soap. Another floral I can't wear. It smelled lovely wet.

    Black Lily

    In the bottle it actually smells like vanilla which I found odd. But wet the smell of lilies came out. As it dries it get's a slight spiciness to it. I'm normally not a fan of floral but this one works well on me.

    Clarity

    To begin with I was slightly worried about this one since lemon tends to amp on me. In the bottle it was lemon verbena. Wet still the same though slightly sharper. As it dries it mellows out a bit, but I still only smell lemon. It's decent, but I'm not sure if I'd use it often.

    Moon of Ice

    Wow, I was totally prepared to hate this. In the bottle it smells just of eucalyptus a scent that I despise. And wet the smell is still there. But as it dries it fades and leaves a fresh aquatic scent with hints of floral. It is a surprising beautiful blend. It does get a bit of a powdery note at the end, but I don't mind it.

    Carnaval Diabolique

    In the bottle it's a smokey lemon, with some sweetness. Wet the lemon becomes a bit more powerful. But as it dries the coconut comes out a long with a bit more smoke. It's very pleasant.

    Hungry Ghost Moon 2006

    In the bottle I get musk, sandalwood, and a bit of ginger with a bitter note. Wet the ginger disappears, to be replaced by grapefruit. When it finally dries it's a musky grapefruit. Isn't bad, but seems more like a man's scent to me.

    Samhain

    '05 bottle In the bottle I get the patchouli, with a bit of spice. There's even a hint of smoke and rum?! Wet the spice becomes overwhelming, like I just snorted pumpkin pie spice. As it dries it get's a little weaker, but by the time it dries it is still overwhelming. As it sits on my skin for a bit longer, the spice seems to relax a little, but I'm still not sure if I like it.

    Hell's Belle

    In the bottle it's pure musk, almost overpowering. Wet the musk is still there but it gets a bit of sweetness to it. Dry it's musk with a floral that I would assume is magnolia. I actually like this one, but it gives me headaches.

    Hamadryad

    This is odd. In the bottle it's wintergreen with some sort of floral note. Wet it's cinnamon and clove with something spicy. When dry it's almost like a minty cinnamon with a floral note. Not sure if I like it or not.

    Nanshe

    In the bottle I actually get a minty evergreen scent with a tiny bit of sweetness. Wet I almost washed it off because the lemon was so overpowering. Dry the lemon is still there though a bit tones down, but with some sort of bitter scent in the background also. Altogether not a great combination.

    Burial

    In the bottle it's pine with a bit of menthol? maybe. On me the pine's still there and it has a bit of a sweet note too it. It's not something I'd have picked for myself but I like it, though it does seem a bit of a masculine scent to me. Oh and after a while, it truly starts to smell like dirt. But in a good way.

    Inferno

    In the bottle it's nothing but cinnamon. Wet it's cinnamon with almond. Too bad the almond doesn't stick around and it ends up smelling like Red Hots when it dries. Very disappointing.

    Dragon's Claw

    In the bottle all I get is sandalwood. Wet the scent doesn't change much but it eventually dries to a sweet pine with a smoke undertone. Is odd but nice.

    Fruitcake

    Well this lives up to it's name. In the bottle it's candied fruit, a hint of coconut and some sort of booze. Wet it's all cherry. As it dries it gets a bit of a citrusy undertone and some sort of spice that reminds me of gingerbread. But it's almost unbearably sweet.

    Gluttony

    In the bottle it's all butter and hazelnuts. Very sweet. Wet the vanilla comes out a bit and it starts to smell a bit like coffee. As it dries it tastes an almost spicy ginger scent. Is interesting, I keep sniffing it and trying to decide if it's too sweet or not. I wore it to work once and someone asked who put cookies in the oven. Made me laugh. So the jury is still out on this one.

    Water of Notre Dame

    This is a clean, fresh smell in the bottle, like floral in a damp spring breeze. When it hits me skin it's a blast of floral and just keeps ramping up. It eventually gets so strong I just have to wash it off.

    The Dodo

    Wow this beat my expectations. In the bottle it was musk with a bit of sweetness in the background. As soon as it hits my skin the musk explodes, which had me worried, but as it tries the musk all but disappears leaving a nice fruity scent behind.

    Shanghai

    This definitely didn't turn out like I expected. In the bottle I barely got anything, but it was almost like a sea breeze, very salty with barely a hint of the green tea. Wet on me the green tea explodes. When it dries it smells almost like baby wipes mixed with green tea. Not altogether unpleasant but definitely odd.

    Black Phoenix

    Sigh, this is another one that I had such high hopes for. In the bottle it smells like cherries, but with a floral back notes that that give is a bit of sinisterness. Wet it ramps up a ton, is almost like walking into a perfume store. But as it dries down it gets weaker and eventually turns to floral powder on me.

    Ladon

    In the bottle it's almost all apple with just a hint of musk. Very pleasant and not overly sweet in anyway. When it hits my skin wet the hyacinth makes a small appearance. Nothing overwhelming, just a nice mix. As it dries the scent get's more and more faint. When it finally dries there is barely a hint of it left even when I put my nose right to the area and sniff. If makes me very sad that the scent doesn't last on my since it's one of my favorites in the bottle.
