Wet: a bit of plum, a bit of patchouli, and a LOT of dry wood.
Dry: a lot of cinnamon and dry woody musk, a bit of fruit. I think this needs some aging, at least I hope it ages, as this has the potential to be beautiful.

Austere, majestic, and coldly beautiful. The scent of funereal blooms laid gently on cold marble. Calla lilies wrapped in rose and gladiola with the barest touch of sweetgrass and juniper.
Wet:
Dry: I get a light Moon-type floral (floral base of Moons not The Moon) covered by a bit of juniper and a LOT of sweetgrass. Unfortunately it smells a lot like celery seed. I am going to let this mellow for a few months and see what happens. -
Wet: a campfire with bacon cooking on it.
Dry: faint cinnamon redhots and a giant rasher of bacon next to a campfire.
NOT my scent at all.

Smells like a man's cologne I have smelled before, all I know is it isn't Old Spice. Other than that it is lovely, but compared to other stuff very department store men's cologne.
-
Bottled essence of desert. It's like leaning against an old dry fence with a saddle on it while a tumbleweed blows by. Smells exactly like this, and I have been there many a time.

Wet: a dry, woody floral.
Dry: Sadly this becomes vinegar and sandalwood on me, dunno how that happened but it isn't fun.
-
Wet: Crispness and pine. Lovely.
Wet: Pine, and body odor. I am thinking maybe there is lavender in this, because somehow BPAL pine turns body odor on me much of the time. Unfortunate, but truly I am not a big pine fan anyway.

Wet: VERY soapy floral.
Dry: Very strong floral, white, much jasmine. A hint of soap in the background. This is UBERFLORAL. Luckily that is right up my alley. I am very happy with this one.
-
Wet: Dust and fresh roses, and a hint of apple?
Dry: Dust, roses, and apple that is sometimes fresh, sometimes dried. I like this a lot, it is amazingly intriguing and original.
-
Wet: Rose and the slightest bit of sweet tea, so totally a dewy fresh flower, FRESH the operative word here.
Dry: Same. Very fresh, womanly and enticing.
-
Wet: Plum and very dry wine.
Dry: Bitter orange lollipops.
-
-
Wet: Seawater. Salty and briny.
Dry: I don't know what these notes are, but there is plenty of saltwater and something like a rose that was stuck in the saltwater and waterlogged. not my style, too salty.
-
Wet: Fruity dragon's blood and sandalwood.
Dry: Smoky wood and spice over the littlest tinge of dragon's blood. It sometimes smells a bit like bacon though. I am mixed in my feelings for this.
-
Wet: Freshly cut, not quite ripe yellow grapefruit.
Dry: Grapefruit and some bitter herbs. Like a rotting grapefruit that never got ripe. I definitely smell the aquatic note in there too, a sweetness behind the bitter and sour. It's interesting, but I see no reason to actually wear something with these bitter notes. Might be good on a man.
-
Wet: Honey, fresh fruit, spices including cinnamon.
Dry: A subtler Bengal. Less honey, less spice, but also less interesting. this is warm and smells of baking spice. It is nice and gentle. But I like Bengal better, even with the cinnamon being too potent. Silk Road is too mellow for me.

Wet: Soapy flowers, smells like it needs dilution.
Dry: Soap. A floral soap.
-
Wet: Apple and herbs, mixing in a way that makes me think dried apple not fresh apple.
Dry: yep, apple, a bit more juicy now, but not quite a freshly cut one. There are some bitter herbs behind but they just kind of make the apple more subtle for me rather than lending a bitter edge. This is nice, but it's too plain apple for me to want to wear any more then maybe once a year or so in spring or summer, the imp will be plenty.
-
Wet: Tea leaf and a fresh lemon wedge.
Dry: The barest breath of flowers, over a tea leaf. This is intriguing, but the throw is minimal, it's easy on the nose though, as I like the smell of tea leaves.
-
Wet: Lemon tea mix and a freshly picked flower.
Dry: tea and a fresh bouquet of flowers. Super fresh, a lot like Phantasm but more mellow and floral, and I can't detect any lemon in the dry Dormouse. Beautiful and light and springlike.
-
Wet: Light dry tea and a gentle fruity scent.
Dry: Pretty much the same. This tea IS a leaf, it isn't a cup of tea, like Phantasm, or a dry tea mix, like the Sprirts of the Dead. There is some gentle herbal and something almost like a sweet dried flower. This is remarkably addictive. I love the way it smells, herbal enough without being aromatic, floral enough without being too flowery, sweet enough - just a hint. YUM!

Wet: vetivert, and a very tangy smell.
Dry: metallic tang, in an aquatic smell. It does have a sort of anticipatory feeling to it, but the scent is indescribable, though not offensive it isn't something I will want to wear as perfume or scent my house with.
