Wet: I have to agree with marared; "fizzy honey cream soda" is basically the perfect description of what I'm smelling. This isn't very strong on me, though; I had to slather this a bit to get a good whiff. Dry: Somehow the same as the wet stage, only with a tad more throw. Don't love it, don't hate it, will definitely hold on to the decant.

Wet: Musky, warm... pencil shavings. Dry: Okay, so the good news is the pencil shavings scent disappeared! Hooray! ... The bad news is, the only thing I can smell now is musk. Like, a single note musk scent. 😐

I can smell everything here; the honey, rum, and spiced fig are all present! The spiced fig note is strongest IMO, followed by the honey and rum. Whatever the spices are in here.. they're making me think of Christmas or Thanksgiving. When I first took I whiff, I thought "holidays!" I think I'll hold on to my little spray decant, but this won't be a big bottle purchase.

Sweet, honeyed strawberries! More of a strawberry candy scent rather than fresh strawberries, IMO. I can't detect any vetiver here, but I'm not necessarily sad about that... This reminds me of Strawberry Moon 2009. (Smelled like fruit leather on me!)

Wet: First thing out the gate is grapefruit, followed by seafoam and a small kick of pink pepper! I'm really digging the grapefruit and seafoam combo; it's a fresh grapefruit-aquatic scent. Dry: In short; this went from being citrus-dominant, to aquatic-dominant. Getting something a bit sour smelling now. Most of the grapefruit is gone, as well as the pink pepper. I'm still getting some seafoam, along with ambergris, but compared to the wet stage... not a winner. I'm super disappointed this didn't work well on my skin. The wet stage was big bottle worthy!

Wet: Bright, sugary lemon with tea and cream! Has a dessert feel to it, but it's not as sugary-sweet as Lemon Scented Sticky Bat (where it smells more like lemon icing). Dry: While the lemon and tea smelled like different entities during the wet stage, I'd say now the scent is very much.. lemon tea. (A faint lemon tea, at that.) Not nearly as sweet as the wet stage, either; just the natural sweetness coming from the lemon. I like it and will hang on to my decant!

Wet: Yep, I agree with z_z. This is... cola. Not in the sense of it being "fizzy" at all, because it's not. It's just.. cola! Dry: Flat cola!

Wet: The Snake Oil is actually pretty faint. Tobacco, vanilla, and the oak are the prominent notes, with S.O. more in the background. Dry: Powdery Snake Oil with a touch of tobacco. 😐

A fresh, sweet blend of cherry blossoms and peonies! I think the vanilla husk must be adding to the sweetness, but I don't smell a "vanilla" note here. Perfect for Spring. Really pretty, but doesn't seem to last in my hair longer than a few hours.

Wet: Coconut milk flavored marshmallow. Suuuuper creamy, and not too sweet. I'm a little terrified about the cedar note(which is on my oh-no-nos list), but it doesn't seem to be detectable so far. Dry: Kind of an overly-sweet and slightly plastic-y coconut marshmallow scent. My skin is protesting this!

Wet: Sweet peach with sandalwood and musk. Uh... I love this right now? It's sweet, juicy, clean, musky, and almost a little salty. Into it. I hope I can get some fig later! Dry: A light peachy sandalwood. It's lost a lot of the "umph" it had in the wet stage. It's still perfectly nice, but I far prefer the wet stage to the dry down.

Wet: Tea with cherry blossom. Very fresh smelling! Dry: My skin has eaten the tea note, BOO. The cashmere wood(which to my nose kind of reads as like a combination of wood and musky vanilla?) has come through though, and it's about 50/50 note wise between that and the cherry blossom. The cherry blossom is borderline-soapy now, but I think the cashmere wood is keeping it from going overboard.

Wet: Straight up wildflower honey, with a sprinkling of salt. Dry: The salt has left the building! The wildflower honey is still the dominant scent, but I can smell some other floral note in there. (It's not reading as cherry or lotus blossom to me, though, that could just be because of the combination of notes.) Sweeter than the wet stage, as well. A sweet, honeyed floral blend. I like it and it's quite pretty, but I think my decant will be enough.

"Sexy smoked vanilla" is probably the best description I can give this. It smells like.. a smokey vanilla cloud. While it's not a note listed, this does have kind of a tobacco vibe going on as well. I think this is going to be a popular one. Big bottle splurge? Probably.

Wet: Warm peachy musk. I want to wrap myself in a blanket of this! (Also, this scent makes me think of a combination of Aglaea and Imp.) Dry: Yep. This feels like a warm, peach hug. It's warmer and sweeter than the wet stage, and everything is playing together so nicely. It's a sweet, warm, peachy-musk hug. I think this is going to be a bottle upgrade.

Wet: Zesty citrus and ylang ylang! Citrus-wise, I'm getting more lime than orange. Dry: Darn, my skin has pretty much eaten this. The ylang ylang(which IMO is like a sweet, tropical floral scent) is the dominant scent though, with citrus trailing behind. I think I'll hold on to the decant because the wet stage was really nice, but with how weak this was during the dry down.. I'm not sure I can splurge for a bottle.

A really bright, refreshing tea scent. (If I didn't know any better, I'd say there was some type of citrus note in here.) This one may be a big bottle upgrade; it's really, really lovely. If you're into tea scents at all, I highly recommend trying this.

Wet: Oh! A blast of salt right off the bat. Otherwise, I'm getting... rice, lemon and tea. (It's actually a lot nicer than it sounds.) Dry: The lemon has died off, and it's mostly just... rice and tea now. (The saltiness is still present, btw.) I wish the lemon would have stuck around, but this was a unique scent experience!

Wet: Pretty much just the honeyed amber, I can't find the red currant anywhere. A little powder-y smelling. Dry: Still not getting any of the red currant on drydown; it's all honeyed amber. The powder scent from earlier is gone, and it's sweeter than the wet stage. I think I'll re-test this again in a month to see if the red currant comes out.

Ooooo yes. You can really smell everything here; the agave nectar, guava, and wildflower honey are all present and accounted for (sir!). The guava note is fresh, and the agave nectar is sweet without going overboard. The floral element in the wildflower honey is minimal, and it's not a strong floral scent; it's enough to let you know it's there, without this becoming a floral blend. I can see myself wearing this often during the summer!

Wet: Grapes, pomegranate, and lemon! (I'm not sure what the difference is between pomegranate vs. white pomegranate.) A very bright, fresh fruity blend. This has a candy-like, and almost fizzy quality to it, without being too sweet. Dry: Just a fainter version of the wet stage. The fizzy quality from earlier is gone, but otherwise the scent remains pretty much the same. Keeper!

Wet: Strawberry hard candy! There's a slight sour-floral note as well, but the strawberry is the dominant note here. Dry: Less of a strawberry candy scent, and more of just a naturally-sweet strawberry. The sour-floral note is still there, but the strawberry is balancing it nicely. I think I would throw this in the "pink and girly" category.

Wet: Vanilla orchid and a hint of ginger. (There's definitely some kind of tropical vibe going on here, even though it's a pretty short scent list.) Dry: Warm, creamy vanilla-floral with ginger. It's really, really pretty, and I tend to wear this a lot on warm summer nights. It's just.. good.

Wet: Lemon tea with sweet pea, and maybe a tiny bit of vanilla. Sweet, but not candy-like. Dry: Similar to the wet stage, but less of the "tea" note I was getting with the lemon; I still smell the lemon, but it's more like.. a fresh-cut lemon. The sweet pea and vanilla are still present, with the vanilla smelling just a touch stronger than before. As a lover of lemon scents + the original ML&ST, I'm really happy to have this in my collection.

Disclaimer: this review is from a bottle that's like... 10+ years old. (I thought I reviewed this years ago!) Wet: Unf. Vanilla, amber, and sweet pea. (The amber has only gotten richer with aging.) Dry: A better version of the wet stage; everything is just deeper, richer. The vanilla and amber are the stars of the show, but the sweet pea adds a delicate note to the mix. (This wears pretty close to the skin on me, but I don't mind that at all.) It's SO. Freaking. Pretty. If this blend even sounds remotely appealing, you should try it.
