Bottle: Tropical
Wet: Juicy and tropical, banana. Like a tropical drink, almost.
Drydown: Maybe a bit of floral coming out, like I'm sipping that tropical drink and have a nice big tropical flower in my hair, and the wind is blowing the scents together.

Bottle: Mangolias
Wet: Creamy floral! Some musk coming out now. It's a bit strong for me, but very sexy.
Drydown: I don't get any mandarin or spice, which disappoints me! But it's a very nice floral, and I don't wear many florals!

Bottle: Fruity and floral
Wet: Very fruity, touch of floral and pepper.
Drydown: This is lovely, great for springtime, I think. It's very punchy!

Bottle: Amber
Wet: Amber, very warm and sunny. I get some sweetness and a hint of spice.
Drydown: I put quite a bit on and it's not very strong. It is very warm, which is nice and comforting, like a lion is cuddling me!

Bottle: Ginger
Wet: Ginger and citrus. It's very very sexy!
Drydown: It's not exactly foody, it's better than foody. I need a bottle, like now!

Bottle: Cocoa
Wet: Wow, that's rich chocolate! Maybe a hint of hazelnut. It's so rich and creamy, like really good expensive chocolate.
Drydown: This is so incredibly foody in the best way possible! Reminds me of Nutella! I want to eat my arm!

Bottle: Chocolate!
Wet: Chocolate, cocoa and cherries. Mmmm!
Drydown: The cherries are really coming out. Almost above the chocolate. It makes this more wearable and less heavy. The orange blossom is really in the background on this one.

Bottle: Vanilla
Wet: Vanilla musk, something clean, warm and sweet like candy all at once.
Drydown: Now I get that bit of floral at the end. It's very dainty. It does smell vaguely like mallow, but clean.

Bottle: Jasmine, I think.
Wet: Jasmine is doom on me. I smell something spicy as well, either cloves or cinnamon.
Drydown: Floral and spicy are such an odd combination, but it almost works on me. Almost.

Bottle: Frankincense and myrrh
Wet: I feel like 2 of the 3 Wisemen! Frankincense and myrrh really don't do anything for me. I'm just not a dark, resiny, herbally person.
Drydown: Far too complex for me, and there's only two notes. Just not for me.

Bottle: Ack!Musk!
Wet: Dark Musk, orris and patchouli are all no-noes! This blend is so dark, I'm afraid it's gonna get me!
Drydown: I get a sort of hospital or morgue sense from this blend. It really is death-like. Gah!

Bottle: Spicy resins
Wet: Resins and herbally. I get the frankincense and the musks.
Drydown: I don't think dark musk or neroli works for me. I also don't think I have the personality to pull of a scent this 'dark' It's very spicy and foreboding.

Bottle: Orchid
Wet: Holy Floral, batman! Florals are always so strong to my nose! I guess this is orchid, I haven't smelled a lot of flowers in my lifetime, my mom is allergic.
Drydown: It's much more subdued now, also sweeter. It's certainly nice, but florals aren't typically my thing.

Bottle: Eucalyptus
Wet: Eucalyptus and pine. Slightly medicinal and masculine.
Drydown: Smells a bit like my husband's Badger Balm. Not as forest-y as I would have thought.

Bottle: Cedar
Wet: It smells great in the bottle, but on me it smells rotten. Like rancid.
Drydown: I think perhaps what I'm smelling is the saffron, I don't get any cedar or wood.
I'll try it again as a room scent or when I get a scent locket.
In the bottle: 3.0 outta 5

Bottle: Tart green apple
Wet: Crisp, green apple. Very tart and very fresh.
Drydown: Almost too fresh, this might be good with Grog layered over it. It needs some sweetness. But still, best apple scent ever!

Bottle: Sweet pea
Wet: Sweet pea and rose, ylang ylang. Kind of perfumey.
Drydown: Way too floral for me, too rosey. But I try every bpal that comes my way!

Bottle: Wine
Wet: I don't like Dragon's blood or rose, so why do I like this? I smell more wine than anything.
Drydown: Okay, there's a bit of rose which has put me off Blood Rose just a bit. Not really my scent, but it doesn't make me feel nauseous like most rose scents, so there's a plus!

Bottle: Tangerine and lime
Wet: Grapefruit, tangerine and lime! I don't really get the peppermint, but there is a sort of zing at the end there, if that makes any sense! Some lavender there as well! The lavender isn't too herbally, which I like.
Drydown: Right now it's all just citrus and lavender. It's not bad, I was just expecting something different. More fruit, I suppose!

Bottle: Spicy Apricot
Wet: Apricot and clove. The clove is slightly spicy, but mostly sweet. It's very juicy and bursting with flavor!
Drydown: It's very foody and yummy!

Bottle: Peach
Wet: Citrus and sugar! This is so amazingly good!
Drydown: It's so sweet and juicy! Very citrussy, good for a snowy cold day like this!

Bottle: Cold
Wet: Cold snow, ozone and a hint of grape, I think. This one is hard to pin down. I think I like it, but I'm not sure. It's my first ozone scent.
Drydown: Now there's a touch of warmth in it, which is odd in Shivering Boy. It's kind of sweet as well. I can still smell the snow and ozone. I think I like it.

Bottle: Patchouli
Wet: Dragon's blood always smells like patchouli to me. I smell the black currant just a bit, but the musk is coming out big time! It is very masculine.
Drydown: This is far too masculine and patchouli like for me. I'd hoped the black currant and fig would balance it out, but it just doesn't.

Bottle: Cinnamon
Wet: Cinnamon and clove, some pepper. It does smell like Big Red gum!
Drydown: Disappears on me very fast. This is a discontinued scent, so I'm putting that down towards being old!

Bottle: Musk and caramel
Wet: Musk, spice, caramel and a touch of honey. I'm glad I don't get much honey, not a fan.
Drydown: Ooh, very musky and spicy now. It's very strong! I don't think this is for me, but I might try it in a scent locket, I think I amp dark musks.
