Wet: Leather and deep, earthy woods. Dry: Smelling just a tiny bit of pumpkin now, but the dark earthy woods scent is overpowering it. The leather has stuck around as well, but not as intense as the wet stage.
-
Wet: Sweet cherry blossom. Really pretty. Dry: Still sweet cherry blossom, but I think the plum blossom is out now as well. This is a light, sweet floral, that doesn't at all go soapy or baby powdery on me. I wear the crap out of this during Spring; it's PERFECT for that time of year. Keeper.
-
Wet: Soapy, herbal, floral white tea. Dry: Sweet and soapy baby powder. Skin chemistry fail for me; oakmoss and certain florals can turn soapy on my skin, but I could see this smelling nice on someone else.
-
Wet: Dark, heavy patchouli and... cedar. Where is the cedar coming from? Dry: Still patchouli and cedar. Cedar is one of my most disliked notes, so this isn't for me. The coconut and benzoin didn't seem to make an appearance.
-
Wet: Lilies and baby powder. Overall a very "white" floral scent. Dry: Sweet, slightly floral, baby powder. There are a lot of floral notes that tend to turn to baby powder on me; if they usually work on you, this would probably be lovely!
-
Wet: Heavy red musk. There's a fairly bitter and herbal note in here I'm not digging, that I'm thinking is the hemlock accord. Dry: I'm a pretty big fan of red musk, but the underlying notes here just aren't doing it for me. Something is just way too bitter for me, and it's throwing off the whole scent. Absolutely worth trying out if you're a red musk fan! Skin chemistry failed me here.
-
Wet: WOO ginger! That went straight up my nose. Almost like a very strong ginger ale, it's definitely got a fizzy quality to it. There's something dark in the background that I'm thinking is the gear lubricant. Not too fond of that. Dry: Same as the wet stage. That odd gear lubricant smell is throwing off the scent for me, and I'm not really digging it. Also, both wet and dry stages have a TON of throw.
-
Wet: Mostly dragon's blood, with some apple blossom in the background. Dry: The dragon's blood and apple blossom are about 50/50 now. There's a tiny bit of fresh apple, but it's mostly dragon's blood and apple blossom I'm smelling. I like it! It's very fresh smelling, and I think this would be great to wear in the Spring. I'll hold on to my imp, but I don't think I'll be getting a bottle.
-
Wet: Fresh, green, and juicy. I think the papaya is giving me the juicy note, and the green musk and grass notes are sticking out as well. Dry: The musk has amped up, and there's just a tiny bit of lime peeking through now. This is a very fresh, juicy, musky "green" scent. It's not something that I want to wear ALL the time, but it definitely scratches any itch I have for a good "green" scent.
-
Wet: Delicious fruit rainbow! The blackcurrant, lemon, and lime stick out to me the most. Lots of sugar, and very candy-like. Dry: Pretty similar to the wet stage; the blackcurrant is definitely dominating the blend, but the lemon and lime keep it smelling very "bright". (I'm sure the sugar is helping as well!) Worth seeking out if you enjoy smelling like fruity candy.
-
Wet: Oddly perfume-y beer, and plastic cake icing. Dry: Perfume-y beer, and very strong plastic. Skin chemistry fail!

Wet: Blueberry-lime snow cone. I hope the blackberry comes through! Dry: The blueberry and the blackberry seem to have switched places, and the lime totally bailed; I'm left with a blackberry snow cone. Blueberry is one of my favorite notes, and I really enjoyed the lime while it lasted, so the dry down is a little disappointing. I like this, but I won't need to seek out a bottle.
-
Wet: From strongest to least; Snake Oil, Dorian, and Slime Queen. Dry: Same as the wet stage! The Snake Oil scent is definitely dominant, followed by Dorian. With Slime Queen, it's more a general sweetness I get from it, and not an actual cotton candy note. Lovely! I can't wait to see how this ages.
-
Wet: Cherry hard candy and a hint of Dorian. Fairly musky. Dry: Equal parts cherry candy and Dorian! I have great luck with the lab's cherry notes, and they usually don't turn into cough syrup, so YMMV. This is really good, and I'm glad I went for a bottle straight away!
-
Wet: Creamy, sugary, vanilla pumpkin musk. Dry: Same as the wet stage, only slightly floral now from the tiare. I think if you're pumpkin-shy, this would be a great blend for you. The pumpkin is there juuuust enough, without making it a dominant pumpkin scent.
-
Wet: Smoke and wine, with a smidgen of frosting. Dry: The wine is the strongest note for me. The smoke and frosting are still there, but not as strong. I can definitely find the Dorian in the blend now as well. I wish the wine wasn't the star of the show, but this is very enjoyable.
-
YUMMM. This is a deliciously sweet hair gloss. To me, this smells like F#@K plus guava cotton candy. Definitely heavier on the cherry note than the guava.
-
Wet: Strawberries and tea rose, with incense in the background. Just the right amount of sweetness to keep it from going candy-like. Dry: Incensey-cognac strawberries and tea rose. The rose isn't overpowering at all, and blends in nicely with everything. Very pretty, delicate scent.
-
Wet: Marshmallows, coconut milk, and fruit! It's not necessarily reading as "peach" or "apricot" to me, though to be fair I can't remember if I've ever smelled apricot in a perfume before. It's VERY sweet, and a little artificial smelling. Dry: Almost spot-on to the wet stage! A little less of the coconut milk, though. I'm going to hold on to this for now and see how it ages, because the sweetness is waaaay amped on my skin.
-
Wet: Peach, musk, and tea. Fairly light, not much throw. Dry: Everything from the wet stage, with more peach and a little bit of vanilla now! This is so, so pretty. Kind of a light, ethereal peach tea scent.
-
Wet: Strawberry and honey! The strawberry is nice and sweet. Dry: All the notes come through on the drydown! Strawberry, honey, and just a tad bit of pear. Definitely more of a fresh strawberry, not candy-like at all. Keeper!
-
Wet: Spicy, musky, coconut, caramel. Very heady. There's a lot going on here! Dry: Too much coconut, not enough caramel for me! Not getting any of the black currant. This is like a... spicy, heady, slightly-foodie coconut scent. It's nice, but I won't need to track down a bottle.

Wet: Sweet, musky leather. I wonder what the "hellhound musk" actually is, since I'm pretty sure that's where the sweet aspect is coming from. Dry: Reminds pretty much the same as the wet stage, only a bit muskier now. More of a feminine leather scent, for sure. I'll hold on to my decant! I'm not in the mood enough to wear leather to where I'll need a full bottle.
-
Wet: CAAAAAAAAAAKE. More red velvet cake than frosting currently. Yum. Dry: Still CAAAAAAAAAAKE. I was thinking this would be similar to Cake Smash, but they scents really do smell different. This scent is a bit heavier, and sticks around longer than Cake Smash and has greater throw. (Some different notes, of course.) Foodie lovers; try this!
-
Wet: Lots and lots of dandelion! Very fresh and realistic smelling, like I'd walked outside and plucked one from the ground. Dry: The dandelion scent is much creamier now; I think it's from the white musk. Reminds me of something like Zorya P, but with dandelion added(and minus the tobacco note). Not getting any of the blackcurrant bud.
