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 - 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

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

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
