It may sound obvious but the TAL Concentration is amazing for studying. I really wouldn't want to do an exam without it anymore.

I don't really know the answer, but I had a parcel from a decant circle in the US sent back by the postal service and it took the best part of 3 months to get back to it's origin, so it may still have a while to go before it turns up.

In the bottle - A gentle honey with a rich treacly undertone Wet on me - A sweet almost lemony fizzy sherbet scent Dry on me - A sweet soft floral honey with an almost anise-like undertone Overall - Whilst I do like this I don't love it as much as I expected to

In the bottle - Coconuts with a slight sense of suntan lotion and a slightly salty note Wet on me - A soft calm coconut oil with a greenness beneath Dry on me - It disappeared fairly quickly Overall - Never really grabbed me

In the bottle - A high pitched sweet/sharp floral bouquet with a hint of pepper beneath Wet on me - Sharp green sappy florals with a hint of pepper Dry on me - A calm cool floral Overall - It's quite a classy scent, but it's not really me

In the bottle - Smoky furniture wax Wet on me - A dash of surprisingly acidic musk cuts out from beneath the wax Dry on me - A cool, smooth masculine musk Overall - It's not really me, but it is very sexy

In the bottle - A green floral with an apple-y undertone Wet on me - A slightly high pitched green soapy floral, basically lily of the valley Dry on me - A soft green soapy floral Overall - Lily of the valley isn't my cup of tea and thus was all lily of the valley on me

In the bottle - A smoky, peppery sort of scent with an almost salty undertone Wet on me - A dry smoky scent with a hint of pepper Dry on me - A clean green smoke scent Overall - I guess my skin amped the smoke note, actually at times I could have sworn there was vetiver in there

In the bottle - A sweet, floral honey Wet on me - Clean white honey with a hint of musk Dry on me - Clean skin musks with hints of a very floral honey Overall - I was sort of hoping this would resemble Antique Lace, but whilst it's pleasant enough it doesn't grab me

In the bottle - Bright zingy grapefruit. Very like the post's Lightening Storm HG Wet on me - A spiky sappy green citrus scent Dry on me - A soft gentle musk with hints of citrus Overall - I don't know if I should be surprised, but I am by the mellow softness of this blend

In the bottle - A sour/sharp cream cheese like smell Wet on me - Still mostly that sourness although with a fruity sweetness beneath Dry on me - A sweet bakery scent comes through Overall - Just doesn't come grab me

In the bottle - Dark, muddy patchouli Wet on me - A light citrusy sweet floral comes through Dry on me - This disappears quite quickly on me Overall - Never seemed to settle on my skin

In the bottle - Mostly jasmine and a touch of myrrh Wet on me - A soft gentle rose comes out against a smoky myrrh Dry on me - A pretty rose Overall - Better than I expected because the jasmine didn't show up, but still not really me.

In the bottle - Musk with a smokiness that I think must be the peat behind it Wet on me - A musty mossy soil that I imagine is the peat Dry on me - The dark loam of the peat and soft green blur of the heather Overall - The one note I wanted to not get from this was the peat and that was pretty much all I got

In the bottle - A sweet rich rose with a touch of honey and a hint of bergamot Wet on me - Such a light pretty green scent with an unctuous honey behind it Dry on me - A light green floral honey Overall - I feel it could have done with a little more depth

In the bottle - A green sappy scent Wet on me - Green but with smokiness and depth coming from the resins Dry on me - A light, slightly creamy incense note Overall - I quite like the dry down, but I'm not certain about the wet stages

In the bottle - Smoke with a hint of bitter green vetiver Wet on me - The vetiver really comes through, but its unusually soft Dry on me - A surprisingly clean green vetiver Overall - Nicer than I expected on me, but still not my cup of tea

In the bottle - A tart black fruit with a light green overtone Wet on me - Definitely the blackcurrant coming through with a light green herbal undertone Dry on me - A clean soapy scent with a hint of blackcurrant Overall - I have a feeling I would like this on a man, but it's not me

In the bottle - Pickled beetroot Wet on me - Smoky incense with still I think pickled beetroot beneath it Dry on me - A surprisingly soft clean metallic scent Overall - I found the initial pickled scent really off putting

In the bottle - Cardamom and something fizzy Wet on me - A bit soapy with that cardamom on top Dry on me - Cardamom scented soap Overall - I never really get past that soapiness

In the bottle - Sweet soft fudge, or tablet I suppose Wet on me - A touch of leather but a really sour top note that's a bit like bile Dry on me - I actually had to wash it off (which is unusual for me), the sour note was just turning my stomach Overall - Didn't work for me at all

In the bottle - A dry fizzy apple scent with just a hint of tart cranberry Wet on me - I smell like a bag of haribo, backed with a slightly dry fizziness that's a bit like tonic water Dry on me - Sweet sugared berries with that smooth dry fizz in the background Overall - I love this, even if I do think it's more like a cosmopolitan than cider

In the bottle - Sweet warm mint with sticky undertones Wet on me - A soft squish peppermint cream Dry on me - Dust, dust and ashes Overall - All the minty blends in this batch of yules have gone back on my skin and this is no exception

In the bottle - Soft almonds oddly enough Wet on me - Soft powdery almonds and a touch of something aquatic Dry on me - A sweet dark rich incense Overall - I love the dry down but there is a period between wet and dry when it smells like stale dishwater on me and I just can't get over that

In the bottle - Caramel and just a touch of something green and nutty Wet on me - An almost medicinal treacle, those green nuts and a touch of sweet pastry Dry on me - Green woody nuts Overall - I don't really know what to make of this, it's not unpleasant but I don't know if I like it
