Okay, so don't get me wrong; I love me some red musk! However, that's most of what you can smell here. I'm getting some of the tobacco oudh as well (this oudh doesn't seem to be the... uh... stinky one), but the red musk is very dominant here. That's all that really lingers in my hair upon dry-down. I wish the honey made itself more present!

Okay, I think this is the first hair gloss I had to keep spraying through the day to figure out what I thought of it. Pumpkin and blackberry juice. More pumpkin than blackberry juice... and I'm just not sure if I like the scent combination. I keep going back and forth on it. My decant will definitely be enough. I think this is one I'll pull out to wear "when the mood strikes", but not one I'd wear often enough to splurge on a full-size.

Wet: This smells like a candied version of Alice. It's not reading as pomegranate to me, just more like Alice + hard candy. Dry: Alice's carnations have drowned out the pomegranate somehow. This is like.. a stronger, slightly sweeter version of the normal Alice? I think this is nice, but I'm disappointed that my skin ate the pomegranate.

Wet: Embalming fluid and a hint of pomegranate. BRING IIIITTTTT. Dry: This is about 75% Embalming Fluid with 25% pomegranate on my skin. It's very citrus tea + clean smelling still, with a bit of pomegranate to make it a little more interesting. I wouldn't say that I like this more than EF on its' own, but I like it enough to be considering a bottle!

Very "white" floral hair gloss. Not getting any of the ambergris, and it's very strong on the lily of the valley. There's a very strong baby-powder quality to me, and not something I would reach for again. If clean, white florals are your jam, definitely seek this out!

I love Lemon Scented Sticky Bat, so I was SO happy to see this Snake Oil variation! Wet: YESSSSS. Snake Oil with lemon sugar. Dry: Stays pretty similar to the wet stage; Snake Oil, and lemon sugar. It seems extra-sweet on the dry down, though. This is WONDERFUL. Like a summer-appropriate version of Snake Oil. So. Good. If you had any doubts about how well the Lemon Scented Sticky Bat and Snake Oil would play together... don't. It's awesome.

Wet: Pretty similar to normal Snake Oil, but a little bit sharper. Not getting much of a "cream soda" vibe to it yet, and not getting any of that extra vanilla. Dry: Powdered Snake Oil with an extra touch of vanilla. Hm... Since Snake Oil ages fabulously, I'm going to hold on to this and let it do its' thing. Right now, it's not knocking my socks off though.

Wet: Totally agree with Lucchesa; this smells like a wood shop. Evocative. Dry: Pretty much the same at the wet stage, but I'm getting some type of astringent note now that's a bit unpleasant. Not my thing.

Wet: Rich, thick black musk, with some kind of citrus note. Dry: The citrus note has disappeared, and I'm left with a light black musk scent. It's not a bad scent, but nothing really "wow"s me about it,

Wet: Orange blossom honey and patchouli. It's actually quite nice! The patchouli isn't heavy, at all. Dry: I'm getting some type of clean linen scent that wasn't in the wet stage; it's not strong, but something is giving me that vibe. No idea. It's that, plus the orange blossom honey, with the amber. The patchouli is barely there in the background now. This is a very "golden" blend, and while I enjoy much more than I thought, I won't need to grab a bottle.

Wet: Red musk party! This may as well be a single note Red Musk scent right now. Dry: Red musk and a hint of tobacco; the red musk is still dominating the blend. Crazy throw, and I'm a fan of red musk, but this isn't calling my name.

Wet: Floral, forest-like... shampoo. Expensive, classy shampoo! ... But shampoo. Poo. Dry: There's an unexpected sweetness creeping in. Almost candy-like. I have no idea what it could be, but... it's still got the shampoo scent going on. Not my thing.

Wet: MINT. Plus rose. Minty rose. Dry: Minty, soapy rose. As a side note; rose can be overwhelming and soapy on my skin, so YMMV. I'm more surprised that the mint stuck around!

Wet: Plum and carnation. Dry: Carnation has kicked out the plum completely, and a tiny bit of musk has snuck in. Musky carnations. It's nice, but I wish the plum would have stuck around.

Wet: RICH, sweet honey. Dry: Thick, sweet, vanilla-laced honey.. with the barest hint of leather in the background.

Wet: I'm not sure what I'm smelling, but my nose curled up when I sniffed this. Not sure why, but something in this is reminding me of The Other Miss Forcible. Dry: Okay, the scent has calmed down enough to where I can finally pick some things out. Agree with previous reviews; there's something in here that smells like butterscotch. Combination of the rum cookies and funnel cake, maybe? Or just the rum cookies themselves? Not getting any of the hay or patchouli. There's something a bit sickly sweet about this, which is putting me off. (Surprising, since I love both foodie and sweet scents.) Overall, not for me, but glad I tried it!

Wet: Uhoh. This is coming off rather like plastic + cardamom to me. Dry: Unfortunately, the only change from the wet stage is the plastic scent has amped on me quite a bit. Too bad. Milk/cream scents have a tendency to turn plastic on my skin, so YMMV!

Wet: Lavender with cotton and musk. A warm, comforting lavender scent. Not herbal at all. Dry: Same as the wet stage! Even the throw hasn't faded, which is impressive. I like the idea of this scent, but it's not for me. (I tend to like more sweetness with my lavender scents.) I think my mom might love this, so I'll send my decant her way.

Wet: Lime bubblegum! Stronger on the lime note than the bubblegum. Dry: The lime has faded a bit, and the sugar plums have popped out. They definitely have a borderline-soapy scent to them. This scent is like... if you had been chewing lime gum to the point where the flavor is barely holding on, and happen to smell your hands after using some sugar plum soap. Definitely interesting, but I don't think I'll go for a bottle.

Wet: Cookies, chocolate, and cinnamon. Not what I was expecting! Dry: Lots of cinnamon. I'd say this is just a cinnamon cookie scent, and there's something a tad bit plastic in the background. The cotton candy never made an appearance, which is the note I was more excited for. Didn't work out for me.

Wet: Ohhhh yes. Fruity alcoholic drinks. Th most prominent is the peach bellini. Dry: Mostly eaten by my skin, but I can faintly smell the bellini still. I'll probably end up wearing this with a scent locket, but I don't see myself grabbing a bottle.

Wet: Resinous woods. The fir and Indian musk are standing out the most. Dry: More woods than resins now. Woodsy scents aren't really my thing, so this is a pass for me. However, I think a lot of people would probably enjoy this. It's like.. sexy resinous woods.

Wet: Musky blueberry and red currant gummy candy. Love. Dry: While the wet stage was an overall general muskiness, the dry stage has brought out the actual red musk. Red musk with blueberry and red currant gummy candies. It's such a unique scent, and I absolutely love it. One of my favorite BPALs, ever. It's only gotten better with age!

Wet: Gingerbread and dark musk. Dry: The rum has come out! Gingerbread and rum. There's a little bit of musk, but not as much as the wet stage. I wish I was getting some of that fruitcake scent!

I have no idea how I reviewed V1 but didn't review this one yet?! Wet: Sweet strawberry cake, and a pinch of carnation with grapefruit. Dry: The carnation is stronger than the wet stage, but still not as strong as the strawberry cake scent. The grapefruit has totally disappeared. Delicious foodie scent with a floral note. I've been hoarding this bottle for years, and I'll be so sad when it's gone.
