in the bottle it reminds me of strawberry daqueri wet: still strawberry daqueri as it dries it retains very much the same scent is just gets a bit softer. beautiful

what scents are you normall drawn to? fruits? spices? ect i would think a chaos blend would be funky and fun. neo tokyo maybe? whip now that i think of it whip would be my choice

in the bottle:dried grass and minty freshness wet: same sun dried frasses and fresh mint right from the herb garden, possibly meadow tea dry: warm grasses (duh i could just copy and paste) they settle to the back ground, it is more minty then grassy now w/ the barest breath of violet. i wouldn't really classify this as a "floral" it is more herbal, and clean then "floral" on me this is like a cross between the lion and my ct2 blend, very light, summery, and beautiful, i believe this is my favorite of the zoryas

in the bottle: this is masculine to me musks, and patchouli wet: musky, and masculine, i can see the comparison to "comercial" scents but it is deeper then comercials smell dry: smokey and musky, still very masculine. i can see my dh wearing this for a night out, he usually wears fenris wolf but for a change occassionally i may ask for this one. the patchouli keeps the musk from going over the top, and the musk is a sexy blend that just screams manly to me. i do not even get a hint of poppy

in the bottle: musk and jasmine, but more musk then floral wet: well hello there miss jasmine, my evil nemesis as it dries i can detect it is not all jamine there is something darker, heavier then jasmine, something spicey and grounding, i also detect primrose i believe. so i look up cereus and this is what i find...very intresting this is very sophisticated, polished, dark, and regal

ct2 LXXVIII in the vial: something edible, like ginger maybe. w/ sandalwood wet:yeah i believe it is sandalwood and ginger dry: cinnamon, spicey i do believe it is cinnamon and ginger and definitely a sandalwood base. i don't get any floral (thank goodness) just a yummy spicy very edible scent. ty laochodia for giving me tha chance to try this i adore it Previously reviewed by laochodia and olympia301.

in the vial: clean herbal, not sharp but instead a comforting herbal wet: soap. as it dries it is less soapy, i wonder if there is lily in this? it is a clean floral, borderline soapy. if it were a man it would be ward cleaver, stoic, quiet, very clean cut. yes i imagine this would be ward's scent

in the vial: apples, and lotus giving it a fruity candy type scent wet: this smells like herbal essence, a totally organic experience. it is fruity, floral, light and warm. as it dries this reminds me of sunshine, it is fresh, warm, summery, i picture a beautiful floral sundress clad woman slowly walking through an apple orchard. definitely not what i expected in hanged man beautiful indeed

in the vial: smokey resinous wet: olive oil, and a hint of smoke dry this is soft yet still a smokey olive type scent butvery very light.

in the vial: fruity sage and lavander wet: herbal, yet sweet and resinous dry: hmmm i think there is something along the lines of some sort of tree resin, but not piney at all. and cinnamon spices, and sweet fruit not sure if it is fig or grape, or a combo of both. this is a beautiful scent. i will have fun meditating on it and using it in ritual

ok i was a bit hesitant...corndog???? then carnation *joyful squee* then jasmine cries....but i decide to sniff it meself in the vial: herbal, green wet: saffron? and sandalwood. hmm why am i getting saffron? as it dries it is all saffron and sandalwood sensual, relaxing, beautiful looove it

in the vial:light breezy blossoms wet:yes light, tropical, breezy sweet but not foody type sweetness this stayes very true even through drydown, it is light, breezy, blossoms, very tropical, sunny, florals, the sweetness i believe is the tobacco leaf. i barely get any bay rum just a hint occassionally to make me go ooohh there it is then it is gone, like a ghost in the night floating away on a summer breeze

in the vial: musk, bergamont, neroli in that order wet:sweet candy like scent almost too "fruity" and sweet, bubble gum type scent dry: it softens, and isn't as in your face, it is still very sweet, it must be the bergamont and neroli combo, it rings a bit citrus, the musk is trying to ground the scent but the sweetness is just too much for it to handle. i am not getting teh frankencense or amber. this is sweet and light and fresh smelling

in the vial: vetiver strong, sharp dark wet: patchouli, cedarwood, and a hint of occassional violet as it dries it is not as pungent, when my arm is a bit away from my nose, i smell mostly the violet, but up close to "sniff" it is myrrh and patchouli w/ a hint of cedar. this is lovely, dark, earthy, yet sweetened w/ the violet. very beautiful if not classically femenine.

in the vial cologne. i usually get that sensation from strong lavander wet: lavanderand lemon as it dries a hint of leather appearsand the tonka whiffs by every once in a while but it is mostly lavander and leather. reminds me a bit of claiborne for me, but much better and fresher

in the vial: yeah dbr for sure wet dbr and i think i agree w/ eros gardenia as it dries it remains a dbr scent obviosly (plus my skin amps dbr) but there is a spicness to it and the very floral gardenia note there is something else. something creamy that pops up occassionally but i am not positive as to its origin. could be vanilla or possibly coconut...but coconut goes a tad plastic on me and this doesn't hmmm anyway it is yummilicious

in the vial: jasmine wet: jasmine (please let something else show up as it dries jasmine hates me) as it dries the jasmien is still very prevelant but teh sandalwood is making it a bit more tolerablei also am getting a bit of the musk but so far no vanilla burbon

in the vial: green? grassy? huh? wet: still green, and leafy. w/ an undercurrant of something spicy as it dries it is amber, spice, carnation w/ a hint of something astringent that i can not place. this is spicy yet summery. very intresting and a tad effrevecent

in the vial: i can't smell anything but a clean scent *shrugs* wet: saffron (one of my favorites)and sandalwood as it dries i detect a musk and rose, but the rose stays a supproting memeber and not the lead part i can't smell the madarin or bergamont on me it is all musky, sandalwood, saffrom roses. i wish nutmeg would mingle a bit

in the vial: hmmm very resinous and slighty green wet: patchouli and myrrh w/ some frankencense dry this is very incense. it smells just like teh ritual ones i make by hand. when i have the stuff sticking to me, and making me sniff my fingers. on me the most prominent note is frankencense w/ the myrrh a close second and occassional glimpses of patchouli. i often use sandalwood as a base for my incense and i am telling you they smell so much like this scent. so of course i love it

in the vial: juniper and sandalwood wet: a floral bouquet w/ a hint of juniper as it dries: wow this is well blended. i get a very light waft of musk every once in a while but is is brief and light, the rosewood is just barely there and adding a wee touch of depth and the orchid and lilac are twisted around each other so that it is almost impossible for me to distinguish between were one ends and the other begins.

in the bottle: apricot brandy indeed wet: yes apricot brandy as it dries it remans true to the initial stages. it is a dominatrix, apricot. she is whippin the brandy's butt and believe you me the brandy is enjoying every second of it. all in all love it and want more NOW

Deep cocoa laced with patchouli, leather armor, ritual incense, and a touch of Xochiquetzal’s flowers. in the vial :cocoa reminds me a bit of cerberus wet: patchouli, leather, incense the chocolate is mia dry: omg this is sexy, the chcolate is back, the patchouli dries it amd makes it deep, the leather makes it sexy and the insence just makes this one irresistable this is such a turn on. i would say i will make my dh wear it but i actually think it is sexy on *me* and i won't go into details w/ that

coconut, tobacco and sweet, sugared rum in the bottle: sweet, sugary, delicious, buttery rum wet: yummy, briefy has the plastic smell i get w/ snow white. but only for a few seconds it is sweet, spicy alcohol w/ a brown sweet undercurrant i am assuming is the tobacco leaf dry: stays very much the same. this is a caramel brown color to me. sticky sweet in a good way, slightly coconut, cassionaly plasticy and the rum makes it grown up and sexy.

in the bottle:green leafy spiciness. the grennery almost has a bite. wet: sharp greenery must be the fig leaf, it reminds me of one of those jungle plants in cartoons that grab you and try to choke you much later the greenery decides to leave me be. it becomes a ultra soft, almond milk and coconut w. a very light breath of fig. this is fresh, light, next to the skin fragrance
