Decant: the spicy carnation man scent Wet on Me: totally spicy carnation man Drying Down: The spicy-ness of the Carnation really amps over everything. I was really hoping to get more of the yew and patchouli.

Decant: totally getting the dewy green leaves Wet on Me: dewy green leaves and tea! Drying Down; tea and the powdery scent of the amber. Not as baby powdery as usual but a pwdery note nonetheless. Dry: This finished as a musky. powdery, faint tea blend on me. nice. Happy to have tried it.

Decant: seawater but not too salty. the docks at early morning when the fog is still out. Wet on Me: aquatic...no sea salty notes at all. now, more the docks just as the sun is beginning to rise and not quite burn off the fog Drying Down: almost slightly floral in the watery notes now. not offensive or heady at all. Dry: Oh Beth. Thank you for making a scent about my favorite city inthe world.

Decant: smokey aquatic Wet on me: The aquatic turns to ...leaves. leaves still a touch green. not fully green but a touch green and the smoke. less smokey now tho. Drying Down: okay more wood now and less leaves, less smoke, a touch of sap. Dry: a slightly sappy, spicy wood vibe. definitely a crisp fall, wear a sweater and kick some leaves type of scent. LOVE!

Decant: smells like Samhain night. i get the earthy woods vibe of this. Wet on Me: Gentle Patchouli over something almost...antiseptice medicinal but in a very good way. Drying Down: Still smelling like the night air when we have Samhain open ritual out doors. a touch mournful with out being melancholy. I get the damp woods and faintest of ghost whispers of the allple and pumpkin and spices. LOVING! Dry: Love this! Amazing and warm and magickal smelling all at once!

Decant: lovely dark autumnal colored oil I get deep cocoa and the pomegranate and the cognac and wee whiffs of the tobacco absolute Wet on me: more pomegranate now and the cocoa and tobacco. this is deep, sultry, warm, coccooning, blending and swirling under my nose Drying down: Getting a 'woody' type note from this. still loving this! Dry: Still getting a woody vibe which may translate to the tobacco absolute. But the deep cognac and cocoa and pomegranate have wooed me to buy at least a bottle or more and hoard hoard hoard!

Imp: a touch of aquatic splashed over some fruit with light flowers Wet On Me: less aquatic and more fruit...rose wants to take over Drying Down: Rose Dry: Oh the Rose came out and stomped all over the fruits All I got was the air freshener rose.

Imp: aged wine and cherries? Wet on Me: nuts and old wine and cherries. black cherries Drying Down: nuts seem to morph to cloves and spices, getting a trace blood note Dry: very heady and hypnotic with a lovely aged wine under it all

Coldie here LJ: ladyColdfire Twitter: MMG_Coldie comment if you are a SW if you add me.

Decant: WOW total clove over brown sugar. Wet on Me: not so much clove but still there and faint traces of the brown sugar. Drying Down: Clove just amped all over everything and the brown sugar jsut went treacle on me. Dry: clove. For some reason my body just amped this clove to 11. I never got the other notes

Decant: slightly spicey, nightblooming flowers with evergreen traces underneath Wet on Me: still more of what I smelled in the lil vial. so far so good! Drying Down: I got this woody-herbaly-nigth blossoms floral blend. Made me feel like I was outside in the woods under the bright blue moon Dry: This settled into a pale faint blend of what I got from drying down. Very nice.

Imp: sweet and dry Wet on Me: Wrigley's Juicyfruit gum? Now I want gum! Drying Down: The Juicyfruit has disappeared now. getting that rise of baby powder and sandalwood Dry: mostly sandalwood and babypowder now. not so much the lotus or resins. Not bad.

Imp: I get green. A lovely fresh non-soapy green Wet on Me: green and resin. Faint ghosts of basil under my nose Drying Down: Green and the powder of musk. Dry: the resins were overtaken by the musk. Never got any leather this faded to something faint very quickly.

Imp: jasmine over rose. Wet on Me: jasmine over air freshener rose to my nose Drying Down: oh boy the rose is taking over Dry: this dried into air freshener rose for me. man my skin and nosedoes not like rose. oh Noes!

Imp: I get the musk and something with a spicy vibe, the opium? and a thrid thing. must be the civet. Never smelled that before Wet on Me: the spicy opium over the musk mostly now. And the civet seems to be trying to say "Oh Hai" to me Drying Down: Heady is right. The opium musk tag team is just taking over under my nose. Dry: the is mysterious and exotic. I am loving this!

Imp: definitely tropical and wood Wet on Me: coconut? banana? palm perhaps? dark green evocative of the jungle Drying Down: less coconut and more wood now. With the faintest trace of something floral. This reminds me of the palm trees we had growing around me when I was a young kid Dry: this did not end up as it started out. it's nice. Not bottle worthy, but nice!

Imp: Salty tears over roses is right Wet on Me: the salty tears vibe is what is so far keeping the roses at bay for me. Drying Down: the saly aquartic keeps the roses from amping like they usually do on me. Dry: I still have a hard time with rose but this fades instead of amps on me. this almost goes soapy.

Imp: hints of honeysuckle and orchid over the faintest traces of the musk and amber Wet on Me: definitely a floral. light floral tho, not overly heady Drying Down: getting a soapy scent now Dry: this is one of those soft wispy floral soaps your grandmother used to keep in her unmentionables drawer. nice.

Imp: I get the loam/earthy part of this Wet on Me: more dirt but something soft and feminine under that Drying Down: the earthy scent/not is fading and I'm getting a sweet almost vanilla-ish note now. Dry: Not dreaful at all!

Decant: Oriental fruity floral. Breathing deep I can get the peach and plum blossom and some of the narcissus Wet on Me: Still getting more of the same. So far so good. Drying down: this is a fruity floral. A sweet one. I get peach and plum and the orange which balance the floral nicely and keep it from becoming too heady. Dry: very nice blend. Soft and perfect for a summer evening.

Imp: sweet musk and sandalwood. Wet on Me: a rather interesting scent. I get cassia, sandalwood, the red musk and the sugar cane. The blend is interesting. Drying Down: this fades out very quickly. Dry: I got faint faint musk/cassia/sweet/sandalwood. Not bad. Glad I got to try it.

Decant: I get the cane, cassia and cinnamon Wet on Me: more of the same. Drying Down: still cinnamon and cassia and now some of the frankincense shows up to play Dry: spicy with a hint of the resins. mostly the cinnamon and cassia over everything. nice but probably will trade or frimp.

Decant: a bright and sunny floral. like a field of wildflowers Wet on Me: still a bright and sunny floral with an almost aquatic undertone Drying Down: Lovely wildflower field with a slight herbal-y and aquatic undertone Dry: This is the perfect light wildflower scent. divine.

Decant: metal/ozone and the tobacco and faint traces of the men's cologne Wet on Me: a bit more metal/ozone scent and the men's cologne is blooming on my skin Drying Down: less of the metal/ozone and now the polished woods and tobacco are blending with the men's cologne Dry: What IS it about men's fragrences that drives me soooo swoony? This is just the love and I may need to seek out more! Well done!

Decant: swampy and musty and woody Wet on Me: more swampy and musty. really faint touches of floral under the cypress Drying Down: the woody/swampy/musty scents have gone and wafted away and the floral notes are quietly blooming. Dry: This started out dark and brooding and somewhat malevolent and ended up a sweet light floral. Lovely.
