    Jareth

    Got this as an imp at Dragon*Con. Who doesn't want to smell like Bowie? Wet/in bottle: Lilac and musk. Drydown: Becomes muskier and a bit leathery over time, but with the same flowery sweetness. Dry: A very musky leather with a bit of spice. Damn. DAMN! This is excellent. A good cologne for men, but this would also smell great on a woman. Highly recommended for anyone/everyone! It's definitely on my bottle list!

    Midnight Mass

    Got this as a bottle on ebay. I love Cathedral, so another incense blend sounded intriguing. Wet/in bottle: rich incense, almost like Cathedral. Drydown: Incense and pine resin(?! was not expecting that, but it's nifty). Dry: A rich, sweeter incense, with hints of sweet pine. Awesome scent! The sweetness isn't overwhelming, but it is noticable and blends the incense and pine notes together. Imagine a fresh cut tree in the middle of a Catholic Mass, and this is the scent. Wonderful!

    Thorns

    Got this as a bottle on ebay. All for vetiver, and it was on the cheap, so why not? Wet/in bottle: Vetiver and dried plants. Drydown: Vetiver fading to dragon's blood. Dry: Powdery dragon's blood. Very straightforward in terms of description, but the fade to powdery was a little sad. Still a nice scent for fans of anything earthy, so give it a shot!

    Nyarlathotep

    Got a bottle of this on a recommendation. I won't say no to incense, so bring it on. Wet/in bottle: Lemony and sharp ozone with a bit of woods and incense. Drydown: The strong lemon/ozone dies down fast to a subtle incense. Dry: Dark incense with a low throw. A few hints of ozone. I personally like this one, particularly with a thrity-minute hike to work in the morning - lets the lemon fade into the more complex and intended description. Could work on either men or women.

    Dove's Heart

    Got this as an imp at Dragon*Con. Figured this one would be on the feminine side, but I'll try anything. Wet/in bottle: Lavender. Straight lavender. Drydown: Lavender and wisteria, with a few hints of light musk. Dry: Lavender and powdery, soapy flowers. It's a lavender perfume, something I imagine on a very sophisticated lady or a woman very much into flowery scents. Doesn't work for me, but I know a few girls I could give this to.

    Cyborg

    Tried this at Dragon*Con, unable to recall what was in it but knowing that I wanted to try it. Wet/in bottle: Leather and vetiver. Drydown: Still leather and vetiver, but with something very clean and a bit citrusy without being powdery. Dry: Very clean leather and vetiver, with a bit of citrusy cologne. Low throw. A perfect cologne and a must-buy! Subtle, earthy, and clean. Excellent!

    Crowley

    Tried this at Dragon*Con per recommendation "to attract the females". I wouldn't have been so clinical, but I can't really say no to that, now can I? Wet/in bottle: Musky cologne with patchouli. Drydown: Headshop patchouli with a bit of citrus and flowery scents. Dry: The headshop patchouli gets stronger as the lighter notes fade, backed by musk and some woods. Either patchouli is a death note on me, or I have some psychological aversion to anything remotely close to smelling like a headshop - I was not a fan. It's a nice complex scent with the lighter notes, and it is an excellent cologne for men (it should, indeed, "attract the females"), but I'm not rushing for a bottle any time soon.

    Interfector

    Tried this one at Dragon*Con. Anything with incense is good, so I figured I might as well. Wet/in bottle: Sweet woods with a bit of incense, rich and dark. Drydown: A good whiskey tobacco with incense, very mellow and sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. Dry: Whiskey tobacco goes to caramel. Still more mellow incense, and not as much sweetness. This works well for men - rich, sweet, and intriguing without being overbearing. It has a bit of throw, so I wouldn't recommend slathering, but it's very pleasant, warm, and masculine. A good bottle if you like a classy touch.

    The Deep Ones

    Tried this at Dragon*Con (among about twenty others!). I liked Cthulhu, so I figured this was worth comparing. In bottle/wet: Salty and musky, a good aquatic scent. Drydown: The salt mellows down and becomes musky and green. Dry: Softer salt, green plants, and a mellow musk. This is significantly less harsh than Cthulhu and remarkably pleasant. This replaces my "must-buy aquatic" and is worth a bottle for anyone into salty scents. Would be excellent on a guy who likes Irish Spring but wants something a bit more calm.

    Aureus

    Got this in a frimp at Dragon*Con. This oil is blood red, so naturally I was intrigued to see it in my purchase bag. In bottle/wet: A rich woodsy scent. Very masculine. Drydown: Cedar, sandalwood, and spiciness, with a hint of floral scent. Dry: Rich woods, very earthy and spicy. Perfect for guys, might also smell good on a woman. Definitely worth a bottle on the right guy.

    Djinn

    Picked this one up at Dragon*Con (thanks again, Beth!). It fits my costume well (Malzahar, League of Legends), and I liked it quite a bit. Wet/in-bottle: A bit sharp, sweet, almost spicy. Drydown: A sharp woodsy scent. There may be a few moments of high-throw, sharp, sweet smell, but that fades. Dry: Soft charred woods, with a bit of sweetness. Like a warm campfire, but without the harsh smokiness. n__n Awesome scent - works great for me, should also work well for women. Barring a few moments of high throw, this scent becomes very mellow and warm. Glad I have a bottle!
  12. Teakwood, oak, black vanilla, and tobacco. Got this as an imp off ebay. In bottle: Syrupy sweet woods. Wet: Dark vanilla, almost caramel. Drydown: More woods, still very sweet. Dry: Rich sweet woods with a bit of tobacco. Not the manliest scent, but something a guy can pull off if it sits for a while. Would work with anyone, really. Not going to pick up a bottle, but it's a good scent.

    Cairo

    Got this as an imp off ebay. In bottle: sweet incense. Wet: VERY sweet incense, almost fruity/floral. Dry: Sweet lemon citrus, almost like citronella. I heard "incense" and got excited, so now I'm torn. This one's up for trades, as it's just not for me.

    Sri Lanka

    Got this as an imp off ebay. In bottle: Vetiver. Already excited! Wet: More vetiver, with hints of cedar. Drydown/Dry: The vetiver vanishes to cedar and sandalwood - think Azathoth, but not as orange/citrusy. This is worth a bottle if you like woodsy colognes.

    El Dorado

    Got this as an imp off ebay. In bottle, wet, drydown, dry - cologne. Clean, resinous cologne. This is exactly what I think of when the word "cologne" comes to mind. It's woody incense with a hint of spice. Next paycheck, I'm getting a bottle. This is excellent!
