Bottle: Spicy and medicinal tea?
Wet: This is very confusing to my nose, because I keep looking for the wasabi but am not really getting it.
But there is a twang, so I suppose that's the wasabi. It's sweet and medicinal at the same time.
Drydown: It's a very interesting scent, not really a scent I'd love to wear as a perfume, but I do enjoy smelling it.

Bottle: olde fashinioned Root beer
Wet: Smells like those root beer barrels, but slightly more upscale. Goes on very light on me.
Drydown: This isn't medicinal on me at all, but I'm not sure if I want to smell like root beer or not!
Might try it layered with a vanilla scent, to see if I can get a root beer float out of it.

Bottle: Honeyed fruit
Wet: Exactly like before-it's fruit that's been marinading in honey. Don't know why anyone would do that, but it smells good.
Drydown: I don't love honey, despite my name. It has an odd note to it that I just don't like, but I'm not getting it with this.

Bottle: Generic floral
Wet: Overpowering floral with a softness that I wish I could smell more. I hate amping florals!
There's a softness there, that's really beautiful and my nose can't get at it.
Drydown: Reminds me of Ivanushka and a floral bpal layered. Not my scent.

Bottle: Sophisticated floral
Wet: Very floral, but not your typical flower shop scent. Grown up and classy, and feminine without being blowsy.
Drydown: It got heavier as it dried, which made it more lovely.

Bottle: Patchouli and leather
Wet: I'm not a big fan of patchouli, but this is a very nice masculine scent. It's sexy and crisp, the sea notes really come out.
Drydown: Far too masculine on me, this might be a winner on DH.
3.0 outta 5 (very high rating for something with patchouli in it)
-
Bottle: Lily and pears
Wet: Lily, rose and pears, very light and airy. Very feminine.
Drydown: As usual the rose amps and now I can't smell anything but that. But while it's wet, it's nice.

Bottle: Masculine carnation
Wet: Very Zestfully clean, cute guy getting out of the shower, type of scent. I'd die to smell this on DH.
Drydown: Earthy, soapy and sexy. Three words I'd never thought to use together before, but it works.

Bottle: Tea and herbs
Wet: Very green and herbally, kind of medicinal. I was hoping for more ginger and fig, but I'm not really getting any.
Drydown: Sharp, soapy and herbally. Really not my kind of scent.

Bottle: Rose and sugar
Wet: Unfortunately, rose amps on me. I say unfortunately, because this is the most beautiful rose scent I've ever smelled. It's very green but sweet as well.
Drydown: This has amped so unbearably, that I need to shower. It's all I smell!
2.0 outta 5 on me, 3.0 in the bottle

Bottle: Patchouli, ack!
Wet: The patchouli and red musk are overwhelming and amp to such a degree that I had to wash this one off, sorry!
Drydown: Patchouli is just so strong on me, that I don't get any other notes. Even if I did get other notes, I just don't like it.

Venice
in Wanderlust
Bottle: Rose, ack!
Wet: Why does rose have to amp so much? This would be a nice scent if I didn't amp it.
Drydown: I can smell the lemon and currant in the background, making this more complex than your basic rose scent.

Bottle: Rum and pineapple, some raspberry
Wet: I get pineapple and rum, with berries and misc. other fruits.
Drydown: There's a fun and fizzy undertone to this, that keeps it from being too grown up.

Bottle: Ash
Wet: Masculine and green, very ashy and smoky.
Drydown: Actually, a bit of a perfumey note is coming out now that it's dry.

Bottle: rum and pineapple
Wet: Like a classy pina colada
Drydown: There's a touch of vanilla, almost like a frozen pina colada with ice cream in it. Kinda foody, but I like it.

Bottle: Dark coconut
Wet: Dark coconut, musk and lemon. Very sexy and slightly foody, but not much.
Drydown: The lemon keeps this from being too dark for me, which I'm always afraid of.
I really like this, but I'm not sure it's bottle worthy.

Bottle: Cherry and mint
Wet: Cherry coke with a sprig of mint and liquor in it.
Drydown: A very fresh drink, but not my type.

Bottle: Apricot and ginger, rum
Wet: I've never smelled such a realistic apricot! It smells like an apricot that's been soaking with rum and ginger slices.
Drydown: The pink lime and grapefruit come out just a bit, a little bitter and not sweet at all. Very nice

Bottle: Orchid
Wet: Orchid, gardenia and incense
Drydown: Reminds me of a lighter version of Midnight on the Midway, and more girly.

Bottle: Pine
Wet: Pine, smoke and incense, sexy on someone more dangerous than me! On me it seems like I'm playing dressup!
Drydown: This is a very sexy scent, but it's just not matching my personality. Might try it on my husband later.

Bottle: Vanilla and ginger
Wet: Slightly floral vanilla and non-foody ginger. Very understated and classy.
Drydown: Reminds me a bit of Mouse's long and sad tale, because of the floral vanilla, but like this better.

Bottle: Fresh and green
Wet: Grassy and fresh, clean.
Drydown: Not as floral as I thought it would be, but still not what I was hoping for. Glad I tried it, though!

Bottle: Blueberry and lemongrass
Wet: Blueberry and lemongrass with a boozy zing that screams grown-up!
Drydown: Very fruity and boozy, love the lemongrass note. I might need a second bottle, cause my husband loves it!

Slippery Poppy Tincture
in Doc Constantine's Pharmacopoeia

Bottle: Poppy flowers
Wet: Very generic overpowering flowers with stems. I don't usually do well with florals, but thought I'd give it a chance.
It's amping a lot on me, though, so definitely a no-go.
Drydown: Even when I don't like a scent, it amazes me how Beth and the Lab manage to get a scent so 'spot-on' with
how I exactly thought it should and would smell like. I don't like this scent, but it's poppy flowers, so exactly as described.
