In the bottle - Soft green fruits Wet on me - Soft crystalline fruits with a smoky undertone Dry on me - Soft sweet slightly smoky fruits Overall - Nice enough but it didn't grab me

In the bottle - Tart green floral with a hint of sage Wet on me - Slightly lemony now, but still with that sage beneath Dry on me - A soft clean scent that disappeared quite quickly Overall - Doesn't make much of an impression

In the bottle - Fizzy fruits and berries Wet on me - Again fizzy red fruits Dry on me - Nothing. It disappeared on me entirely Overall - It started off interesting, but faded completely

In the bottle - A faint, slightly tart plum scent Wet on me - Bright green, candy-like fruits Dry on me - A clean, soft, slightly green, fruit scent Overall - Pretty and delicate, but it doesn't really grab me

In the bottle - A lightly sugared violet note Wet on me - An almost smoky woodsy floral Dry on me - It disappears completely on my skin Overall - If it had hung around more it could have been interesting

In the bottle - Almondy cherries Wet on me - Very sweet cherries with a hint of booze beneath Dry on me - A light, pretty cherry scent Overall - The dry down was lighter and less sweet than I expected, but I like it ETA this was the 2009 version

In the bottle - A green, tart combination of the mimosa and neroli Wet on me - Neroli is the dominant scent, touched by a hint of soap Dry on me - A soapy floral Overall - I didn't expect to like this and it didn't work on my skin anyway

In the bottle - An almost minty/herbal lemon scent Wet on me - It really does smell like lemon grass with a touch of mint to me Dry on me - Soft sweet, sugary lemons Overall - Oddly I don't get any strawberry from this at all, but what there is, is quite pretty

In the bottle - Sweet fuzzy sugars Wet on me - A green floral, I'd be inclined to say lily or something along those lines with a sweet sugary background Dry on me - A sweet sugary vanilla custard Overall - I don't know why, but it didn't really grab me

In the bottle - Fizzy lemonade and lime Wet on me - Sweet and light and fizzy like ginger ale but with fruit instead of the kick Dry on me - A faint hazy musk Overall - The wet stages are very pretty, but it fades really quickly on my skin

In the bottle - Brown sugar and treacle with an almost medicinal undertone Wet on me - Dark, treacly sugar with that slight chemical undertone Dry on me - Faint whisps of chocolate Overall - Wet (if you could avoid the slightly chemical note) this is a fairly good dupe of my beloved Sugar Skull 2004, but it just doesn't have the staying power

In the bottle - Soft haziness from the honey musk with a backing of lavender Wet on me - Sweet soft lavender just a hint of tobacco flower Dry on me - Washing powder and clean linen Overall - Something in this blend doesn't appear to work with my skin chemistry

In the bottle - A faint green floral Wet on me - The lily and jasmine really come out on my skin Dry on me - A crisp bright floral, they settle down a little, but the jasmine and lily still dominate Overall - Unfortunately I amp both lily and jasmine and neither does anything for me

In the bottle - A dry, almost bitter, pithy lemon scent Wet on me - Sweeter, sugary candied lemons Dry on me - Sweet, sugary lemon candy Overall - Bright, fresh and sweet, really pretty

In the bottle - Sweet sugary vanilla musk Wet on me - Clean, cottony, sugary musks; chewable and sweet Dry on me - Gorgeous, warm golden pink sugary vanilla musks with whisps of clean cotton Overall - Pretty damn amazing sugary warm and pink but totally adult and very alluring

In the bottle - A fresh bright red wine scent, perhaps more like grape juice than wine Wet on me - Still the fresh wine-y scent but with a hard green metallic note beneath it, I suspect it may be the herbs Dry on me - Slightly darker purple-y wine Overall - I don't know; there's nothing like it, but it doesn't grab me

In the bottle - A dark green honey note Wet on me - The orange blossom in the honey really comes through with the chocolate in the background Dry on me - A faint slightly soapy honey Overall - This scent never really came to life on my skin

A lunatic’s vintage cabernet. In the bottle - Definitely red wine, fruity, but with an underlying tannic note and a surprising amount of alcohol Wet on me - A kind of green powdered note takes over. The underlying feel is still one of red wine, but there's something going on on top that I can't quite place Dry on me - Soft, warm, slightly woodsy red wine with a sweetish musk overtone Overall - Very scrummy indeed and very wearble
