In the bottle - Rusty metal with a waft of mint
Wet on me - Mostly mint with just a hint of something dark beneath it
Dry on me - Something sweet and deep, I imagine the malted chocolate with a mentholly mint
Overall - I quite like the dry down, but I could do with a little less mint
-
In the bottle - A white peppery lavender
Wet on me - A smooth fougere with just a hint of clary safe
Dry on me - A cool clean skin musk
Overall - It was a little bland on my skin
-
In the bottle - A green cool floral scent
Wet on me - Washing powder
Dry on me - Just washing powder
Overall - Didn't work on my skin
-
In the bottle - I can't quite pick it out, but it's really like a perfume my mum wore when I was little
Wet on me - It's quite faint, but mostly what I get is what I think must be the tobacco, but it is very round and berryish
Dry on me - It disappears completely
Overall - It's a pity this didn't last on my skin because I think that it would have been quite pretty
-
In the bottle - Green sap and an almost bubblegum sweetness that I guess comes from the magnolia
Wet on me - A green waxy/peppery berry scent with an almost liquoricy undertone
Dry on me - A soft clean slightly sweet floral
Overall - I like this quite a lot, the only thing that puts me off is the waxiness early on
-
In the bottle - A peary minty candyfloss
Wet on me - A cool leafy green mint scent
Dry on me - Ashes, dry smoky ashes
Overall - Just didn't play with my skin chemistry -
In the bottle - Gingerbread and moss on a crumbling gravestone
Wet on me - A dry leafy mulch overlain by the spice of the gingerbread
Dry on me - Soft mulchy loam and a hint of dirt
Overall - A mote genteel sort of Zombie, but the gingerbread runs away
-
In the bottle - A warm, lightly spiced gingerbread
Wet on me - A raw, red ginger scent with a hint of butter in the background
Dry on me - A faint fougere/musk skin note
Overall - I was really interested to see how the gingerbread and Villain would play together; but they don't, I get gingerbread first and then almost like a separate scent the Villain comes through
-
In the bottle - Burnt gingerbread; really there's an acrid smoke note that is really quite unpleasant
Wet on me - A clean, slightly green musk beneath the gingerbread
Dry on me - A soft sweet gingerbread with a green earthy backdrop
Overall - Considering how many death notes there are in Troll this is surprisingly nice
-
In the bottle - Less gingerbready than I was expecting with hints of a clean musk, not very Snake Oily either
Wet on me - A dark gingerbread with a raw spice note and a hint of vanilla in the background
Dry on me - A dark rich sticky gingerbread
Overall - I would have likes more of the Snake Oil to come through, but as I'm a bit meh on fresh Snake Oil anyway I think this may be one to age
-
In the bottle - Good thick gingerbread with a hint of something dark in the background
Wet on me - The gingerbread seems to get warmer and spicier
Dry on me - This is mostly gingerbread, there is a green bitterness beneath but always masked by gingerbread
Overall - I like this a lot, which considering Satyr was fairly evil on my skin is impressive
-
In the bottle - A dry new leather with a hint of sweetness
Wet on me - Smooth warm leather with a rich almost incensy rose behind it
Dry on me - Mostly leather with hints of sweetness
Overall - I like it, but not as much as I thought I would, which means that my decant will be enough
-
In the bottle - Cookies and fruity yoghurt with a waft of spiky mint in the background
Wet on me - Cookies overlain within a sour note that I presume if is the cream but it's not working for me at the moment
Dry on me - A kind of sour milky ashy concoction
Overall - This just doesn't work on my skin
-
In the bottle - A green smoky vetiver with a hint of aftershave
Wet on me - A soapy brusque aftershave type scent
Dry on me - Carbolic soap and Old Spice, warm dry masculinity
Overall - Bram Stoker smells like my dad Or at least my childhood memories of him. Which I like, but wouldn't necessarily want to wear
-
In the bottle - Tart blueberries with a zing of lime
Wet on me - Definitely very sweet blue berries, but there's a dryness behind it that I associate with Beth's gin note
Dry on me - As with Black Snowballs this just completely disappeared
Overall - Vanished on my skin
-
In the bottle - Sweet blackcurrant with an undertone of liquorice. Like those boiled sweets that are blackcurrant flavour and have a liquorice flavoured toffee centre
Wet on me - A dry almost musky liquorice with hints of tart blackcurrant
Dry on me - A light cool musk
Overall - Pretty, but it disappeared very quickly
-
In the bottle - Almonds and a touch of dry fizziness, I know this will sound odd but it's almost like Gin & Tonic
Wet on me - Minty with a toffee like undercurrent and a touch of soap
Dry on me - A soft cool mans cologne type scent
Overall - It's cool dry and masculine I would have loved more of the almonds
-
In the bottle - A surprisingly cool green scent with a hint of cereal and an after thought of coconut
Wet on me - A somewhat watery almond cookie scent
Dry on me - A warm baked coconut scent
Overall - I really do like the dry down, the wet stages less so
-
In the bottle - A clean, medicinal honey/wax scent
Wet on me - A soft, cool lavender with hints of sweetness beneath
Dry on me - A light, clean lavender scent
Overall - It didn't really grab me
-
In the bottle - It smells like a hair dressers; soap, hairspray and a hint of electronic heat
Wet on me - Quite like Perversion as a sweet fruity tobacco with and undertone of leather
Dry on me - A warm reddish amber with a pencil shavings undercurrent
Overall - My favourite was the wet stages, but the dry down didn't grab me
-
In the bottle - A sweet musky creamy scent with a sort if green/raw nut note that I presume is the raw coffee bean
Wet on me - Again a creamy/milky musk with just a hint of spice
Dry on me - A warm hazy musks with hints of spice and an underlying green patchouli
Overall - Really, really lovely
-
In the bottle - Properly screechy indoly jasmine
Wet on me - A slightly green, slightly powdery jasmine
Dry on me - A soft slightly powdered jasmine
Overall - Jasmine and me just don't get along
-
In the bottle - Medicinal woods with a touch of citrus
Wet on me - Something clean and airy with a woody background
Dry on me - Smoky woods with a slightly vanilla undertone
Overall - Different, but not really me
-
In the bottle - Proper deep incensy churchy frankincense
Wet on me - Again very churchy although veering slightly into furniture polish
Dry on me - It disappeared surprisingly quickly on my skin
Overall - It never really developed beyond the wet stages

In the bottle - Very exactly a peppermint candy cane
Wet on me - More like mint imperials now with the grainy powdery texture of the sugar and that sharp clear mint
Dry on me - Ashes, stale ashes
Overall - Sadly this just turns on my skin
