    A Wonderful Light

    In the bottle - A soft warm beeswax with a menthol undertone Wet on me - A clean slightly spiced waxy pine scent Dry on me - A warm spiced resin with a deep waxy background Overall - I love the dry down and I hope a little time will smooth out the pine which is a little sharp for me when wet

    In the bottle - Sour red wine and mossy stones Wet on me - Really strong, sour wine with a smoky undertone Dry on me - A soft, smooth dry red wine with an earthy depth to it Overall - I like the dry down, but the wet stages are very harsh

    Yew Berry Infused Honey

    In the bottle - A sort of chistmassy berry scent with sweet honey making it feel almost medicinal Wet on me - A waxy kind of honey with a sharp backdrop from the yew berry, still quite medicinal Dry on me - A soft warm waxy honey with that slightly medicinal greenness in the background Overall - I like this a lot, it would be a great every day scent

    Womb Furie

    2010 Version In the bottle - Woah honey, honey and more honey topped off with sex musk Wet on me - Red musk and honey, but not as much as there was in the bottle Dry on me - Basically pure Snake Oil Overall - This doesn't really grab me, but Snake Oil has to be really aged before it works on me so I think it might be worth holding on to

    Wings of Azrael

    In the bottle - A slightly bitter green floral Wet on me - Soft powdery, but still slighty green, florals Dry on me - A faint green floral Overall - Flowers don't really do it for me and this was no exception

    High John the Conqueror

    A fast-acting, powerful scent used to overcome adversity through positive means. Attracts wealth, prestige, good health, and enhances others' opinions of you. Grants courage and steadfastness. In the bottle - A slightly sharp half citrus/half almond sort of scent Wet on me - A light, slightly fizzy, slightly green floral Dry on me - Nothing at all Overall - I never really got to grips with it, it disappeared so quickly on my skin

    Halloween: Las Vegas

    In the bottle - Blackcurrants, red musk and booze Wet on me - A smoky, hazy tobacco scent, like a more masculine Perversion Dry on me - A smooth warm red musk that fades quite quickly on me Overall - I was ready to love this and nearly did, but it just disappeared on my skin

    The Gorobble

    In the bottle - Condensed milk and (oddly) celery Wet on me - Sweet and sugary, but with quite a watery undercurrent Dry on me - A faint, sweet sugary musk Overall - For whatever reason this didn't quite work on me
  17. Ajila

    Autumn Cider

    In the bottle - Apples, almonds and a dry fizziness like gin and tonic Wet on me - Pulpy stewed apple, ground almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg and yes that odd G & T side that I've got to guess is the alcohol content as it were, but its odd Dry on me - Warm spiced apples and brown sugar Overall - The scent was yummy, but unfortunately my skin had a bad reaction to the cinnamon, maybe one for the scent locket

    The White Rider

    In the bottle - A slightly chemical sandalwood note with a green floral in the background Wet on me - Soft, but still slightly chemical sandalwood with a slightly yoghurt smell overlaying it Dry on me - It disappears quickly into a hazy half musky nothingness Overall - Didn't last on my skin at all

    White Chocolate, Strawberry, and White Pepper Truffle

    In the bottle - Warm, stewed strawberries Wet on me - Mushed up, pulpy strawberries Dry on me - A warm almost incensy scent over the sweetness of the strawberries Overall - I like this a lot, the woody heat of the pepper stops the sweetness being sickly sweet
  20. Ajila

    White Chocolate Martini

    In the bottle - Definitely the booze, I would have said gin, but I don't really know what goes in a martini Wet on me - Sweet white chocolate, and a dry alcohol and a burst of citrus Dry on me - A warm, oddly dry cocoa scent with hints of citrus Overall - It's an unusual chocolate scent, but one that doesn't really work for me
  21. Ajila

    White Chocolate, Marshmallow, and Coconut

    In the bottle - The faint hint of marshmallow Wet on me - Gooey marshmallow with hints of coconut Dry on me - Sweet granulated sugar like the crusting on a really good marshmallow....and dusty ashes Overall - I guess my skin chemistry didn't like this one
  22. Ajila

    White Chocolate Mango Buttercream

    In the bottle - A plasticky, slightly citrus fruit, I wouldn't have said mango, with a touch of the buttercream Wet on me - Soft almost pineapple like fruit, I still wouldn't have said mango, with a buttercream background Dry on me - On oddly dry sweet powdery mango Overall - Didn't really work on me
  23. In the bottle - Sweet, rich raspberry Wet on me - Softer slightly tarter raspberries with a vague hint of apricot beneath Dry on me - Soft, sweet, almost buttery chocolate with only the faintest hint of fruit Overall - It's pretty, but I would have liked the raspberry to have performed more

In the bottle - A musky hint of a surprisingly green violet note Wet on me - Sweet, sugar crystal coated violets with a hint of cocoa in the background Dry on me - Soft, sweet hazy violets Overall - Very pretty sugared violets, but weirdly no appreciable chocolate
