Wet: Lavender and jasmine. Very fresh and clean smelling. Dry: The lavender disappeared, and the coconut emerged. Not getting any type of a "cream" note; this is mostly just coconut and jasmine on my skin. Not a scent for me, unfortunately.

Wet: Bubblegum hits me first, with a little Snake Oil trailing behind. Dry: This went a little plastic-y on me, and the bubblegum note is super faint. Snake Oil is the star of the show. I love me some Snake Oil, but this version didn't "wow" me.

Wet: Grapefruit! More of a sour grapefruit note; almost artificial smelling. Very candy-like. Dry: Still an artificially-sour grapefruit scent. I'm getting a hint of a honeyed floral note in the background, but I'm not sure what it is. Almost tropical, but that could just be with the combination of notes. I like it, but I won't need to upgrade my decant to a bottle.

Wet: Sweet and salty frankincense, with a smidgen of candle wax. Dry: Sweet frankincense, white rose, and candle wax. It's still a little salty, but much less than the wet stage. I'm not typically a fan of roses in my perfumes, but it's very soft and pretty here. (Yay white rose!) The name of the blend fits perfectly; this is a very calming, soothing scent. I can see it becoming pretty popular! For me though, I'll just stick with the decant.

Wet: The patchouli has come out swinging, followed by amber and fig. Not getting much sweetness at the moment, which I'm a little surprised by... Dry: Sweeter than the wet stage, which I'm happy about! Fig, patchouli, a little bit of red currant, and something sweet. Getting a honey note, but I think there's something else sweet in here as well. It's not coming off as the vanilla cream, so it's probably the "sugar-dusted" part of the patchouli note.

Wet: Yep, I definitely agree with previous reviewers; this is sugary, fruity cereal. Dry: The marshmallow has finally come out! It smells like a marshmallow rolled in fruity cereal. I'm all about it, and will be upgrading to a big bottle. edit: Oh! I just thought of what this also reminds me of; the leftover milk after eating a bowl of fruity cereal. It smells like there's a little bit of that in here, a "milk" note or something.

Wet: Cherries and cream, with a little almond. Dry: I like it! Still cherries and cream, but I'm not getting the almond note from earlier. Also... where the heck are the blackberries?! That's the note I was most looking forward to, and it's nowhere to be found.

Wet: Maple syrup and cake. VERY strong on the syrup. Dry: There's something in here that's turned to plastic on the dry-down. I'm thinking it's the "cream cheese" note. It's overpowering the cake and syrup I got from earlier, unfortunately.

Wet: Ohhhhh yessssss. Warm, spicy, gingerbread. Dry: One of those rare blends where the wet stage and the dry-down smells basically identical on my skin. Woo! I love wearing this in the winter. Cozy, warm, and... just so, so good.

Wet: Sweet metal, and a little sage. A little soapy smelling. Dry: Full-blown soapy cologne. Bah!

Wet: Sweet, herbal, and resinous. I'm wondering what the "embalming herbs" smell like, but I think they're the strongest component currently. Dry: Still strongly herbal. Not terrible, but not for me.

Wet: Powdery orris and watered-down grapefruit. It's like if someone tried to dilute grapefruit juice by adding water to it? That's how it smells. (Plus the orris.) Dry: This has gone into candy-like territory! Like faint grapefruit and plum flavored sweetarts. While I definitely enjoy candy scents, this one is way too light on the dry-down for me.

Wet: Salt and cedar. ... neither which seem to be listed as notes! Dry: Still some salty cedar, not really any change from the wet stage. Cedar(or anything that smells similar to cedar) is not my jam.

Wet: Cedar, leather, and vanilla. A little bit sweet. Dry: This is some type of miracle; my skin tends to amp cedar like no one's business, going as far as to turn a scent into Cedar Single Note. Somehow... the cedar in this blend has disappeared. I'm really, really happy about it. What I'm left with is vanilla, leather, and just a hint of sage. I think a lot of people would be crazy about this if they got the same dry-down as me; but... it's not really my thing.

Wet: HOO spicey! Nose full of those Moroccan spices. Dry: The same spices from the wet stage, with an added sweetness(the honey?), and a splash of red musk. It's not bad, but it's not for me.

Wet: Sharp mandarin, ginger, and mint. A little bit of a vague floral undertone. Dry: The sharpness from the wet stage is gone, but everything else remains. The mandarin isn't what I would call "juicy", it's just kind of lingering. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. I think on the right person, this scent would really shine. ... that person isn't me, though.

Wet: Okay, I know it says "clean" in the description.. but I didn't expect it to smell THIS clean! Clean, sweet, tobacco. A little ozone-y. Dry: Everything in the wet stage, plus some leather. I.. am surprised by how much I like this! Not typically a fan of leather. Not sure that it's bottle worthy, but I definitely want to hold onto my imp.

Wet: Amaretto and cherries! Dry: The coconut has appeared, though it has more of a toasted coconut kind of smell to it. This is mostly just coconuts and amaretto now; the cherry scent has mostly faded, but there's still some sweetness left over. Yum!

Wet: Fruit fruit fruit fruit fruit and fruit. The currants are sticking out to me the most, but it's more or less a giant fruit salad. Dry: Currants are still the stars of the show. It's very, very juicy smelling. I think I can pick out some cantaloupe now as well, but much like the wet stage, it's basically just a giant fruit salad.

Wet: A sweeter, chillier version of normal Dorian. Dorian and vanilla snow? Dry: YUM. Okay. The snowy aspect of the blend has died off, and it smells like marzipan and Dorian now. This is SO, so good. (As a side note; there's a lot of comparisons to Snow White in the reviews. It's been years since I've tried that blend, but it was absolutely HORRIBLE on my skin, so I'm not getting the comparison.)

Wet: Something citrus(grapefruit?), and floral. Ozone as well. Definitely has that "hazy" quality to it. On the sweet side! Dry: Okay, may not grapefruit? Still some citrus, floral, and ozone. The ozone is much lighter now, and the sweetness has amped up. I think the floral might be jasmine, but it usually turns soapy on my skin, and is not here. So... a sweet citrus-floral with ozone.

Wet: Warm sandalwood and mandarins. Lovely! Dry: The sandalwood is a little stronger than the wet stage now, but I'm still getting some sweetness from the mandarin and mango. I can see how this could go soapy on some people, but it's rather flattering on me! Keeper.

Wet: WHEW, that grapefruit went straight up my nose. Grapefruit, and apple blossom! Dry: The ginger showed up, and there's something... medicinal-smelling about the blend now. It's a bit bitter and sour smelling now as well. For some reason this combination of notes just is NOT working on me.

Wet: Much lighter and cleaner smelling than I thought! The coconut, tobacco, and linen are mostly what I'm getting. It's quite nice! Dry: The bay rum has come out in full force! The tobacco note is gone. There's still a clean linen smell, a little coconut, and just a hint of leather. I much, much preferred the wet stage!

A nearly-narcotic blend of opiate-touched bark and blossom reflective of the bleakness and solitude of winter, the quietest point of the year : black opium poppy, bamboo pulp, ylang ylang, lavender, chamomile and white sandalwood. Wet: Sharp lavender, chamomile, and something with a "green" quality to it. The bamboo pulp, I'm guessing. Dry: A lovely lavender chamomile scent; I'm glad the initial sharpness from the lavender ended up fading away. The name of this blend is pretty much perfect, I can see a lot of people putting this on before they go to bed. Very relaxing.
