    Decant: dark, shadow-y and green but dark green Wet on me: like entering Knockturn Alley. seriously. dark stone and that dark green of the moss and ivy Drying Down: those dried rosehips are threatening to cause mayhem on my skin. still that shadow-dark alley vibe as well Dry: it has the stone and the dark greens notes with a splash of dusty. this rosehips teeter on that could turn or not turn on me. I'm glad I got a decant of this. Probably will trade.

    Decant: wood-y herbs in a northern lights kitchen Wet on Me: wonderful clean herbs and wood. so bright and light but warm Drying Down: This is insanely good. Just everything the description says Dry: When I inhale this and close my eyes I am taken to a warm kitchen in northern Sweden or Norway that has been covered in wood and on a wood table many herbs that were growing in the kitchen window are being chopped for the cooking. It's bright and sunny on a cold snowy day.

    Arkham

    Imp: dark pitch-y woods with dark floral with the Violet being the one I scent the most Wet on Me: still that dark pitch-y wood notes and the violet notes. Drying Down: less wood now. the floral is a bit better blended and smoother under the nose Dry: The throw on this is very short. This is a right under your nose sort of scent.

    Marquise de Merteuil

    Imp: almost heady floral Wet on Me: that heady floral but not yet Drying Down: still a heady floral but with that powder-y note I get from amber. the way it's amping on my skin there has to be rose, lilac or lily.

    Imp: cedar and tangerine Wet on Me: mostly cedarwood with that faint whiff of tangerine Drying Down: cedar can be such the pushy lil scent. I love it but it can take over a party! Dry: this is the all cedar party! well not quite all cedar it has a slight tempering of a powder-y note from the amber that keeps it from being really sharp fresh cut cedar. It's not unpleasant but I don't need an in your face cedar oil.
