In the bottle - A soft warm beeswax with a menthol undertone

Overall - This was just a bit of a mess on my skin, it never really settled down

In the bottle - Moss and loam, like a crumbling grave stone

Wet on me - Damp green moss, but with something sweet beneath

Overall - I prefer the dry down to the wet stages, but on the whole it doesn't really grab me

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

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

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

Dry on me - A faint, sweet sugary musk

Overall - For whatever reason this didn't quite work on me

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

In the bottle - A slightly chemical sandalwood note with a green floral in the background

Dry on me - It disappears quickly into a hazy half musky nothingness

Overall - Didn't last on my skin at all

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

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

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

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
