I am very new to this community, and have only tried on a little less than a dozen scents, but I'm already finding I am SO ANTI SWEET and anti floral. Aquatics may or may not work, I've only tried Y'ha-Nthlei and did not like it. (my note on it is SMELLS LIKE SWEET/FRUITY CLEAN SOAP WITH A DASH OF SALT WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE) Even with that little of scents tried on, I can already tell I'm extremely anti sweet, and anti floral unless the floral is a very very low note - Except for jasmine and lavender, I hate those in any way shape or form. Lavender literally makes me angry instead of calm. I'm so anti sweet I even am not a fan of Snake Oil, however it may or may not be a newer imp. (it was passed on to me.) The only one I like so far that I have tried is Malediction, that was wonderful. I have not tried it, but wife loved Dracul, and I loved it on her too, except when it was dry it was too sweet. Somehow?? This may all because we are both butch lesbians, her more than me, but yeah. I just can't. I need some good scents! If it helps, I really liked and amped the dry note in Malediction - I assume that's the vetiver, and she loved and amped the patchouli.

Thank you all! I'm very happy to be a part of this community and very grateful!! I just put on Burial, which is still wet....and very Vicks rub smelling....but I have confidence in this one.

It might be subjective? But I use it to mean when a scent is fully dry and settled on my skin, and is no longer "morphing" or going through different phases, it's in its "final stage" so to speak. HTH I thought that was the 'dry'. I was under impression there's wet, drydown, and dry, in that order.

I love both of them!

What exactly does drydown mean? I think I've been using it wrong
