    In the vial: Mint chocolate chip ice cream. Instant love! Wet: Mint chocolate chip ice cream on waffles! This is making me hungry. Dry: Mint chocolate chip candy. Overall: This is love! ETA: 1 hour into the scent and this has morph into a lovely smell of....burnt plastic. Bleh.

  3. In the vial: Soapy aquatic. Wet: Wow, dusty aquatic. Dry: Still a dusty aquatic. Overall: Where is the incense that everyone was talking about? Not for me.

    Water Phoenix

    In the vial: Soapy lavender. Wet: Lavender and salty ozone. Dry: Lavender & bitter, salty ozone. Overall: Not for me. I should just admit to myself that aquatics do not work on me. Darn.

    Tamamo-no-Mae

    In the vial: Fruity...smells like peach or fig. Wet: Still fruity, but more creamy and the floral is peeking out. Dry: Lesser fruit, more creamy floral. Overall: This is very, very lovely.

    Voyeurs Among the Cherry Blossoms

    In the vial: Soapy floral Wet: Soapy floral (Cherry blossom?) and green moss. This is kind of like cologne. Dry: I like this soapy scent! It's comforting and reminds me of my boy. Overall: Will keep the decant and probably look for a bottle or two!

    Lovers in a Ricefield

    In the vial: Plum blossom Wet: Creamy (from the wild rice & vanilla?) plum blossom Dry: Plum blossom and rice. Overall: I like the plum but there's something in this scent that makes me uncomfortable... I had to wash it off as it was inducing a gag effect whenever I took a sniff.

    Flowering Chrysanthemums

    In the vial: Sweet, lovely mums. Wet: Floral incense & sandalwood. Dry: The most prominent notes are the floral & incense. I get a bit of both the vanilla and sandalwood, but they are mostly lurking in the background. Overall: My skin eats this right up, after 15 minutes, all that's left is a powdery floral scent. Not for me.

    Sugar Cookie

    In the vial: This smells like butterscotch and toffee!! Yummy! Wet: It has morph into buttery popcorn. Dry: Burnt plastic Overall: This is a extremely delicious foody scent. Beware for you may gnaw off your arm after applying. But alas, foody scents often turn into burnt plastic on me. 'Lucky' me I guess.

    Lady Lilith

    In the vial: Mandarin & floral. Wet: Lemon, floral & tea. Dry: Rose powder & citrus tea with a splash of vanilla. Overall: I'm really unsure about this. I like the tea note but I'm not a fan of roses.

    The Lady On The Grey

    Ethereal, opalescent, and radiant: pearly sandalwood, white amber, tobacco flower, orris, castoreum bouquet, soft resins, and pale petals. In the vial: Floral soap. Wet: The most prominent note on me is the sandalwood, but I can definitely smell resins and soft floral in the background. Dry: Floral powder. Overall: This is a very soft and beautiful scent. I'm really disappointed that it turned powdery on me.

    The Convocation

    In the vial: Spicy, musky and warm. Wet: Smells like...tape & leather? The leather note is really strong. Dry: Sweaty men playing with tape and leather. Overall: Something went wrong somewhere and I had to wash this off. Not for me.

    Snow, Glass, Apples

    In the vial: Green apples in a ice bucket. Wet: Tart, green apples and something that smells like rose... (I'm not a fan of roses) Dry: Oh no. Is that rose I smell? Yup, green apples covered in rose petals and grass. The rose is quite faint, just dancing about in the background, adding a certain sweetness to the otherwise tart & green scent. Lovely! Overall: This is a beautiful scent, I actually like it even though I don't adore rose scents. There's something in this scent that I really like.

    Ashlultum

    In the vial: Lilac & tobacco Wet: Lilac. Dry: Soft lilac and tobacco. Overall: Not a big fan of floral scents, not for me.

    Longing

    In the vial: Floral soap Wet: Floral soap & wet laundry Dry: Soap! Overall: Not for me. ETA: After 4 hours, this has morph into a scent that's very different from the start. Now it is subtly sweet with hints of musk, cinnamon and rum. Definitely nicer than before.

    Minotaur

    In the vial: Sweet & dark. Very intoxicating. Wet: Dark, spicy incense. Dry: It gets sweeter as it dries. After 15 minutes this turns into sweet baby powder incense. Overall: This is a gorgeous blend, I love it best when it's wet but it's not for me.

    Red Lantern

    In the vial: Caramel, coconut and something slightly sour. Wet: Overpowering caramel sweetness and coconut. Dry: My skin eats this right up. About a minute into the scent, it had almost completely disappeared. When I sniff extra hard, I get some bits of caramel, coconut and also something sour. Overall: This is quite nice, but it's not for me.

    413 U.S. 15 / Miller Vs. California

    In the vial: Sickly sweet berry Wet: I think I'm getting leathery berry with fig. The notes have blended so well I'm having a hard time figuring this out. Or I'm just lousy at identifying notes. Dry: Creamy, powdery berries with hints of something green. Overall: This is quite nice but I'm not sure if it's bottle worthy.

    Snake Charmer

    In the vial: Fruity snake oil Wet: Fruity scent with snake oil as a base Dry: It's here that I can tell the distinct difference between snake oil and snake charmer. Snake charmer is powdery fruity sweetness without a hint of spice on me. Overall: The throw is weak, I can't smell anything unless my nose is right at my wrist. Other than that, this is just a fruity version of Snake oil. Really, really nice.

    Glowing Vulva at Ryogoku Bridge

    In the vial: Creamy and sweet. Smells yummy. Wet: Creamy wood. Dry: Okay, I'm not sure if I'm happy or depressed about this. There is a sourish-salty note to the sweet creaminess on my skin. Smells like sweat after sex. After about 15 minutes, that disappeared and is replaced by powdery lotus blossom and cream. Overall: This is lovely. Quite different from what I had expected but still lovely. I definitely have to check Antikythera Mech out.

    The Perilous Parlor

    In the vial: Creamy Pear Wet: Pear! Pear! Pear! Juicy, juicy pear! Dry: Pear & creamy vanilla. This has gone slightly powdery for a few minutes before morphing into lovely vanilla. Overall: I love it! Must..have..more! Bottle hunting for me!

    Couple Consulting an Enpon

    In the vial: Blackberry and something else. I'm not very good at identifying individual notes. Wet: Sweet blackberry. Dry: Blackberry, mint and orange blossom. Overall: This is quite nice. Will keep my decant.
  24. In the vial: Soapy, citrus tea. Wet: Citrus soap. Dry: Sweet, floral, fruity soap. Overall: Most of the shungas smell 'clean' on me, this is another 'clean' scent to add to the list.

    Tissue

    In the vial: Gardenia Wet: Soft white gardenia. There's something about this that envisions the color white. Dry: Honey and gardenia. Overall: This has a similar honey note as Giant Vulva on me. I'm not sure I love it but this is one floral blend that I can wear (without sneezing). However, the throw and staying power is very weak.
