Bottle: This smells both sweet and sharp. Sweet apple and green tea. Wet: This smells like green tea. Sweet green tea and a hint of some fruit. Maybe a pear? You can barely smell the black tea, but it makes this a nice round scent. Dry: There's the black tea. It smells like sweet tea to me. I love it. This is sweeter and not as deep as Dorian. I think I'm smelling a blend of tea and sugar. I love this. It also has a very light floral. A peony maybe? It doesn't show up until this is completely dry. 5/5 If you like Dorian you will like this.

Bottle: Plum. Not a juicy plum, but more of a plum liqueur Wet: This has a strong medicinal smell to it. Like a fake plum. Dry: Now I smell the brandy and juicy plum. I really did not like this wet, but it's decent dry. This one is not for me. I'm not sure I would recommend this unless you are a big fan of plum wine or dark fruit scents. I didn't smell the wine but I didn't miss it. 2/5

I'll start this review off with a confession. I love rose. Rose everything. I'm a sucker for it. Bottle: Spice, I'm thinking this is the Victorian Spices Wet: This smells like potpourri. Like grandma's rose potpourri. Exactly. Rose oil under spices Dry: Here comes the rose. I can still smell the spices, but this has finally gone more rose than spice. I wouldn't call this a traditional floral at all, but I like it. Final Review: This is not "my rose." I like it though. If you don't like florals and prefer musk, this may be a great stepping stone. I'll wear this imp again for sure, but I doubt I'll buy a big bottle. This is a really nice and complex scent, just not for me. 3/5
