Wet: Sour baby powder. My nose kind of shriveled up when I smelled this. Dry: Gah, nope. It's somehow a bit more sour than the wet stage. Not getting any kind of lemony sweetness or anything that others have talked about.
-
Wet: Cherry and a little bit of honey! Kind of giving me a Luden's cough drop vibe. (If you've never had them, Luden's cherry cough drops taste like candy. I'm not even sure they're that effective, but they taste good, and they're always in my cupboard.) Dry: Sweet cherries, a hint of honey... and a tad bit of baby powder. BAH. I'll still hold on to my imp, but this would have been bottle-worthy if it wasn't for the baby powder smell. edit: after re-testing several months later(I have no idea how old the imp I tested was, just FYI), the baby powder bit has almost completely disappeared! I ended up with a full size bottle.

Wet: Cold, slightly minty, vanilla-coated cherries. Dry: With anything cherry, I think a lot of people worry about it going cough-syrupy. Well here, the cherry hasn't! ... Mainly because it's totally gone now. :| All I can really smell is a sweet vanilla mint. While I do like it(the mint is light enough for me; I'm not really fond of the scent of mint), I think it's a bit disappointing that the cherry didn't last long.
-
Wet: Red musk and .... sugar. Strawberry candy, maybe. Dry: A lovely sugared red musk. It's about 50/50 on my skin, and I'm pleasantly surprised! I was worried the red musk would dominate too much, but it's sharing nicely with whatever sugary-sweetness is in this blend. I'll be holding on to my decant! I'm surprised this wasn't more popular.
-
Wet: Fizzy lemon and ginger cocktail. Strong on the ginger! Dry: The effervescence has died off a bit. This is primarily ginger ale now, with a pretty weak throw.
-
Wet: Hot chocolate and cinnamon! Dry: Faded hot chocolate and cinnamon! I'm glad the coffee never comes out on me, because it's not a note I'm particularly fond of. Also of note; my skin can be sensitive to cinnamon, and it's never been an issue with this blend.
-
Wet: Rich vanilla cake and currants. Sweet, foodie perfection. Dry: A little bit sweeter than the wet stage, with all the same notes. Vanilla cake soaked in currants. Delicious. Amazing. A must-try for all foodie lovers!
-
Wet: Sweet, warm, amber. A slight bit of sandalwood, as well? Dry: The amber is lighter, and I'm not sure it was sandalwood I was smelling earlier. This is the smell of.. oak? Teak? Whatever it is, I'm not the biggest fan. Amber does really well with aging, so I'm going to set this aside for a while. If it doesn't improve with age, I'll be letting go of it.
-
Wet: Fresh pine and spiced cake. Dry: The pine is almost completely gone, and I'm left with the spiced cake scent. There's a small addition of chocolate now, as well. I like it! I'll be holding onto my imp.
-
Wet: Much fresher smelling than I thought this would be! Lilies and opium. Dry: Very similar to the wet stage... but now there's some soapiness going on. This was going to be a surprise hit for me, but Soapy McSoaperson had to go and ruin it for me.
-
Wet: Grass, something herbal, a little tobacco, and... soap. Dry: The green cognac has come out, and is very distinct. Blending in nicely with the tobacco. It's become only borderline-soapy now, which is a major improvement. This is much, much better than the wet stage. I'm torn on this scent. I think I'll be OK with just a decant's worth.
-
Wet: Milk chocolate! There's something almost dusty or powdery smelling to it, too. Like cocoa powder, sitting on top of hot chocolate when it's not mixed in enough. Dry: Just about identical to the wet stage, only with the addition of something vanilla-y. Marshmallow, maybe? This is a great chocolate blend! Better than bliss, IMO.
-
Unexpected... but I'd have to agree with previous reviewers; this smells like fruity cereal. I'm getting more of a Fruit Loops kinda vibe. Not getting ANY mint, which is what I was hoping for! After it's been on the hair for a little while, it's much more marshmallow-y. So... marshmallows and fruit loops. I'm into it.
-
Wet: Sweet, strong, melon! With something... green. It smells like green, juicy fruits. Dry: The melon is still there, but not as strong as the wet stage. Still very "green" smelling, and I think I can pick out bamboo and either orange or tangerine now. Less juicy then the wet stage, but still very nice. Green fruit salad! This is like a "green" version of Fruit Moon on me.
-
Wet: Ultra-sugary grapefruit and vanilla cream! Dry: Helllooo, creamsicle! Actually, this may be better than a creamsicle. Still have the grapefruit and vanilla cream, but now the tangerine is in the mix. I can't pick out the lemon peel, but it may be hard to identify with both the grapefruit and tangerine. Amazing. Wonderful. Highly recommend. My bottle is just about gone, and I wanted to squeeze in this review before it was.
-
Wet: Cold, ethereal florals. Slightly herbal. Borderline-citrus. Dry: As I feared, this has gone a little soapy. Though it's not listed, this smells like it has ozone in it. Slightly sweet, aquatic, cold, green, flowers. Evocative. If this didn't go soapy on me, it would be bottle worthy!
-
Wet: Surgical steel and red musk, followed up with coconuts! Dry: The red musk has taken over! Red musk with red currants and a tiny bit of coconut. Very heavy on the red musk. I wish the surgical steel had stuck around!
-
Oh, this is yummy. Buttery, creamy, vanilla-scented pumpkin goodness. It's sweet, but not cloying. Kind of giving me a pumpkin pie vibe(just the filling, not the crust), but with more vanilla. I think there's some type of spice in here as well.
-
Wet: The "cobwebby" note here is perfect. Very dusty. There's almost an astringent note here as well that I can't place. I'm testing this the same time I'm testing the "normal" Miss Forcible, and I'm getting just a hint of that same baked goods scent. Dry: Whoa, this is much sweeter than the wet stage. Like an unflavored lollipop, if that makes sense. Just super sticky sweet hard candy. There's some type of overall muskiness to the blend as well. There's some anise here, just like the normal Miss Forcible, but it's not as strong. The baked goods scent has totally faded. While I enjoyed this more than plain 'ol Miss Forcible, neither one is bottle worthy for me.
-
Wet: Buttery baked goods! Dry: Noooo, anise go away! I couldn't detect it during the wet stage, but it's definitely there now. It's very much a foodie anise scent. Anise flavored pastries, maybe. Also... didn't detect any vintage musk at all. During either stage. Go figure!
-
Wet: Oh, yes. Creamy blueberry bubblegum. Almost a little powdery smelling, like Bubble Tape! (Do they even make that still?) Dry: Sweeter than the wet stage! The bubblegum is the star of the show, with a small hint of vanilla, and even smaller hint of blueberry in the background. I'm so happy I was able to try this out! While I'll enjoy my decant, I don't think I'll upgrade to a bottle.
-
Wet: Vanilla! Very, very rich smelling, with a little bit of musk. Almost buttery. Dry: "Pearlescent vanilla" is a perfect description. The buttery stage has worn off, but this is still what I would call a "warm" vanilla scent. Definitely some sandalwood peeking through, and I'm incredibly happy the oudh hasn't tried to take over this blend and ruin it for me. (We have history.) If you enjoy Zorya P, I think you'd enjoy this as well. Winner!
-
Wet: Metal and oil. Definitely greasy smelling. How the heck do they do that?! Dry: All of the above smashed together with some cologne. Very much a steampunk vibe going on. While metallic scents in general appeal to me, I'll pass on finding a bottle of this.
-
Wet: Baby powder and lillies. Dry: There's something oddly sweet about this; it's more of an artificially-sweet kind of scent, rather than something naturally sweet. Still a bit of a baby powder scent, but not as much as the wet stage. A light scent of lily remains as well. I think this is actually nice, even with the baby powder going on(blaming you, orris root). Just not bottle worthy for me. edit: Okay, it's morphing on me again. It now smells similar to Dr. Choward's Violet mints.
-
Wet: Sugary pie crust! Very vanilla-y. There's a tart cherry scent here as well, but the pie crust is definitely the stronger scent. Dry: The pie crust is still dominant, with some vanilla-cherry in the background. It's a lighter foodie scent, and I'm happy the cherry didn't go cough-syrupy! I like it! If you're a foodie lover, this is worth trying out.
