Light musty floral with herbs... started nice, turned musty quick and was gone completely in one hour.
-
Very soft, very light, and little throw. Citrus peel and some soft musk, and not much else. Almost the idea of a scent, I can barely smell it.
-
This for me is mostly rose and rosemary with an overlay of sour orange. The rosemary comes out almost like lavender, somehow. And it's also very, very faint. I think I like it though, and will definitely try again. Bess deserves a plethora of chances to make good.
-
Somehow I get a dark floral with a lot of saltwater. Doesn't go well with my nose or my chemistry.
-
For me this smells very much like a man's cologne (as usual one I KNOW I have smelled but can't think of). It is very sour citrus, herbs and musks, I like this VERY much. No chocolate for me, but there is a warm deep base to this and it is probably in there somewhere. Another "make the man wear it" scent!
-
The apricot and Blood Orange are very evident when I put my nose against my wrist, but for some reason the ambient scent is, for me, sugar and mint with a hint of citrus. I love the close to the wrist smell, not so excited about the ambient one.
-
Though this starts juicy and fruity and sweet, in the end it turns to a low semisweet lotus deeply steeped in musk. It is not what I expected, but it is very lovely and sensual. A keeper.
-
This is a very light scent with little throw. It smells, to me, a lot like Chai with lots of milk and honey, which for me is very pleasant. I just wish it had a lot more throw. About an hour later this has little more throw, but has morphed into an incensy sweet floral tinged ECSTACY!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this!!!!
-
Wet: Dragon's Blood and maybe something spicy without being cinnamon or chili, like nutmeg. Dry: Light cherry-like dragon's blood mixed with a deeper and somewhat drier woody spice. It is nice and has no jarring notes or reason to dislike it, but I do, somehow.
-
Wet: Vanilla overlaid with a VERY strong orchid. Dry: The vanilla and orchid meld and mellow and become a sweet, creamy yellowish sort of scent, warm and powdery. Feminine yet fresh. Nice. Sometimes the orchid is a bit imposing. I will keep this one. I totally get the "bitch under the sweet interior" with this. One minute it's creamy, one minute terribly sharp. Intriguing!
-
Wet: Juicy rose, and a fruity light lavender. Dry: The rose takes on a sweet almost fruity note and the lavender gets sharper and herbier. These two blend well. Not really to my liking though, somehow. A bit too sharp and tangy for me.
-
Wet: Spicy, vinegary men's cologne?? Dry: Spicy cedar overlaid with a tangy green earth note. Smells like being outside in trees smelling a flower on a bush. More bush than flower. Not bad.
-
Lascivious, flirtatious, and vampy as hell. A true heartbreaker’s perfume. The innocence of orange blossom tainted by the beguiling scents of ginger and patchouli. Wet: Woody patchouli, sharp ginger, almost initially like a more feminine Sin. Dry: This smells like more than just patchouli, ginger and orange blossom. There is a woody smell that for me dims the patchouli and the orange blossom. It's a nice scent, but too incensy for me.
-
Wet: Sweet biting mint. Dry: A light bright scent of air with a light sweet mint over it, more mint candy than mint off the bush or Altoids mint. Soft and far less icky than I imagined, but otherwise unremarkable.
-
Wet: Green herbs and flowers. Dry: Dryness. Sandalwood and some muted flowers, and a lot of that salty tear smell. Definitely bitter and sad. Not my style, but exactly what it claims to be!
-
Wet: Sweet flowers and a little musk. Dry: Musky, earthy, incensy, maybe a tad of cucumber. Sometimes lovely and very sexy... sometimes a bit too cucumber tangy. I like it, but will be satisfied with the imp unless it morphs seriously later.
-
Wet: Tart apricot and sharp alcohol. Dry: Definitely apricot brandy, I also get a bit of wood. Cask? Bar wood? For me this is very musty and mysterious. Dunno how much I will enjoy smelling of it though, it's probably a Fall only scent, for reading mysteries and feeling enigmatic.
-
Wet: Buttery caramel with a HINT of rum. Dry: caramelized sugar, hint of rum, a leetle buttercream... this wafts up and makes me drool. Incredible!!!!!
-
Wet: Tangy orange and peel over sweet flowers. Dry: Almost Kurukulla like, I smell flowers and sugar and sometimes I get a bit of orange. This isn't strong and I get little throw. Whereas Kurkulla has rose (to my nose) I get sweeter flowers here, headier flowers. It's nice, but I don't know if I need a full bottle. After an hour this gets sharper, more lily-like, and more of its own scent. It's still very sweet and floral, though.
-
I was sent an imp of this by the amazing UltraViolet. Wet: Melon and a sugar and maybe a tad of a tea backnote. Dry: Well, never been so happy to dislike a scent, my pocketbook will be SO happy. On me this is a sharp sour melon with a lightly sweetened tea back. Doesn't begin to go well with my skin or nose, and I am eternally grateful. I feel sad I missed out on what others seem to love so much but I didn't order the NorN shirt, even one, and I cannot afford the eBay price for this.
-
Wet: Tea and fresh fruits and flowers (rose?) and sugar. Dry: Tea, and fruit, lemon? If so a kind gentle not sour lemon. It rests on a sweet light bed of sugary flowers but the tea, green scent, and citrus-ish smell are definitely in the forefront, strongly. It's a bright, energetic lovely scent.
-
Wet: Rich vanilla with something elusive and male behind it. Musk? Dry: Wow, exactly the same, a non-morpher. I get very little tea with this. It's a rich warm scent, smells like a candle, but not in a cheap bad way. I like it very much.
-
Wet: Some sort of sharp biting incense. Almost vinegary. Dry: The same but less strong, maybe a bit of curry... almost smells like a kitchen after someone cooked dinner. Yeah, very curry. Then the lemongrass comes out and smells like cleaner, so I get cleaned kitchen with essence of last night's dinner.
-
Wet: the world's biggest peice of strawberry Bubble Yum. Dry: bitter tainted strawberry Bubble Yum. Not a favorite.
-
This was a lab frimp. Thank you! Wet: Rosewood. Dry: Dusty rosewood and air, and the HINT of floral way behind it. It's like smelling a room with nice antiques and a rose in a vase. Has little/no throw for me.
