Wet: Sweet and musky. First on: Vanilla and patchouli and vetiver. Dry: Mostly just vetiver and lime now.

Wet: It smells like root beer...wtf? First on: Still root beer on my skin. Dry: This is really strange; it's like I bathed in root beer and forgot to wash it off. No incense, no smoke, no wood.

Wet: Floral soap. I think it's the ylang ylang and violet. First on: Still soapy. Meh! I really wanted fruit and patchouli. Dry: Sigh, unchanged.

Wet: Soapy. First on: Unchanged, just soap soap soap. Dry: Never changed the whole time. Bah.

Wet: It's VERY mossy. First on: Very mossy and green. Not really getting the Snake Oil here at all. Dry: Unchanged. I'm not impressed.

Wet: Wet and spicy. Is that the chrysanthemum? First on: It's the same when it's first on my skin. Dry: Same, but with...pine? A bit unexpected.

Wet: Simple, sweet alcohol. First on: Mostly the same, but a little flowery? Dry: Unchanged on drydown. Pretty nice, and not like I just walked out of a bar.

Bulgarian rose, tea rose, violet leaf, opium poppy, Bois de Jasmin, patchouli leaf, honey, blue lilac, balsam, woodruff, and lemon peel. Wet: Rosy! But not really my kind of rose. First on: Unchanged. Dry: Still unchanged on drydown. I was hoping the other flowers would do something to the rose blend, but nope.

Wet: Chocolate and spice? First on: Hot cocoa, but wrong somehow like something spoiling it. Dry: It became astringent on drydown.

Wet: Sharp and acidic. Mahogany and fig? First on: Bitter incense... Dry: Sharp and kinda nondescript. Meh.

Wet: Musk and sharp resin? First on: It oddly smells like licorice. O_o; Dry: On drydown, it's decidedly too masculine for me.

Wet: Flowery soap, ew. First on: ...Still soap. Dry: Unchanged dry. Not a fan!

Wet: Warm tropical flowers! First on: Unchanged first on. Dry: Unchanged dry, even. Surprisingly, ylang ylang is not turning sour on me.

Wet: Spicy, creamy, musky. First on: ...Almost undetectable on my skin, like it just drank it up. Dry: Still barely there. SO sad.

Wet: SOAP! First on: Terrible, horrible soap. Is this what 'umi'umi-o-dole is? Dry: Unchanged dry. I had to scrub this off.

Wet: Musky and manly. I think that's the ylang ylang actually... First on: Leather? I don't play well with ylang ylang. Such a shame, this could have been a nice floral. Dry: Sharp florals, leather. Meh, oh well.

Wet: It smells like astringent. First on: Spicy...astringent. Bleh! I feel like I should be cleaning my face with this. Dry: As it dried, it somehow got even stronger.

Wet: Spicy water. I was expecting florals. First on: Manly and masculine...weird. Dry: Somehow this is just overwhelmingly masculine on me. I'm baffled.

Wet: Flowery, sharp tropical fruit. First on: VERY sharp pineapple and booze. Bleh. Dry: Still too sharp, and yet somehow also soapy. Not a fan, which is disappointing.

Wet: Sweet and fruity! First on: Melds on my skin into a sort of indefinable sweet scent. Dry: It's just a little too nondescript sweetness; there's nothing here making it special for me.

Wet: Light, musky floral. Not sure where the musk comes from... First on: Unchanged. Dry: A bit ozone-y and sharp for me on drydown.

Wet: Watery, with tropical flowers. First on: Unchanged. Dry: Sharp and super watery. Not fruity enough for me.

Wet: Minty, and from somewhere also pine? First on: Resinous (opium?) pine. WTF? Dry: ...Old lady perfume. So disappointing.

Wet: Fruity and floral. A little bitter, somehow. First on: Unchanged. Dry: Even more bitter, sadly.

A modern incarnation of the Queen of Pentacles, or Disks, the Queen of the Thrones of Earth. Nurturing, warm and kind, she is practical, quiet and domesticated, and yet still ambitious, and possessed of the sensual lushness of Mother Earth. Soft, deep earth notes with myrrh, amber, pomegranate, dark incense, red currant, rose and vanilla. Wet: Bitter floral incense. Yuck. First on: Unchanged... Dry: Uh...perfumed weed? Too earthy. :x
