How... have I never reviewed this?! Wet: Almond, a little citrus, and a little Snake Oil. Delicious, basically. Dry: This is... perfection. My absolute favorite form of Snake Oil, that I enjoy more than just plain S.O. My best description would be snake oil with almond cookies, and just a touch of the mandarin. It's so, so amazing, and the first bottle I ever finished.

Wet: Definitely leather and ozone, but the ozone is much stronger than the leather. Dry: Still much more ozone than leather; the ozone is coming off more sweeter than the wet stage. As someone who's not fond of leather scents, this is probably the nicest leather blend I've ever tested. I think if you're a fan of leather, this is worth trying out. (That being said, I still don't really like leather, and this really isn't a scent for me.)

Wet: WOOO SUGAR! Lots, and lots of sugar, and lime. If you hate sweet scents, I don't think you'll be able to make it through this stage! Dry: Lots of sugar and lime still, with some guava finally peeking out! Little bit of rum coming through as well. If this was an actual drink, I would gladly suffer through a gnarly hangover for it. This is the DragCon blend I was most excited to try, and it did not disappoint. I don't have anything in my collection like this, and I may need a backup.

Wet: Hm. A very, very dark scent(and I'm not just talking about the oil color). Lots of patchouli. I'm also getting some woods here, which I'm guessing is the oudh. It reminds me of cedar a bit. I'm hoping I get some cacao on the drydown. Dry: Errrrrr no. The oudh amped on my skin enough to drown out just about every other note in this blend. The throw on this is pretty average, but still enough for me to want to wash this off immediately. (Not a fan of anything woodsy!)

Wet: An oddly clean skin musk. Not what I expected! Dry: My skin pretty much ate this. I legit pressed my nose to where I applied this, and I can smell something vaguely musky and sweet, but that's about it. I think this would be fine to wear around people who have sensitive noses(or at work, if you work around people), but there's just too little throw for me. I may try to combine this with other scents as recommended, but by itself, I'm pretty "eh" about it.

Wet: This makes sense in my head, though it may not to others; a cleaner version of the ocean. Dry: A very light, sweet, musky aquatic. As Aveya mentioned above, it's comforting, and I don't think I've been able to describe any aquatic scent that way before. I didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as I do... and now I have to decide whether the decant will be enough, or if I should grab a full size bottle!

Wet: Lots and lots of flowers. I'm hoping the lilac will end up punching through the jasmine and honeysuckle, because those are the only two I can really smell right now. Dry: Powdery floral. Giving me a slight headache. Nope nope.

Wet: Whiskey and cardamom! The cardamom is coming off very creamy. I wasn't sure how I would like the whiskey, but it's really nice. Dry: Everything is balanced pretty evenly here, and it works. It's a little foodie, but not a heavy foodie; whether you're a fan of foodie scents or not, I think this scent would appeal to all different types of people. It's... just... good. I think I'll need to upgrade my decant to a bottle! A surprise hit for me.

Wet: Citrus and booze. Something a little soapy as well. Dry: This blend can definitely hold its' own; it's still plenty strong after the wet stage. It's a little fizzier than the wet stage, but overall pretty similar.. which includes the note I'm reading as soapy. It's an okay blend, but there's plenty of other boozy scents I prefer over this one.

Wet: Mostly oak bark. There's something powdery, yet fresh, as well. It's fairly pleasant. Dry: Oak bark, and a tiny bit of apple that adds some sweetness to the blend. I like it! Oak/woods notes typically aren't my thing, but it's really nice in this blend. I'll use up the imp I have, but I don't think I'll need to hunt for a bottle of this.

Wet: Light peach, and amber. Dry: Very, very faint musky peach; borderline powdery peach. This stays very close to the skin. I think the wet stage was really nice, and I actually might add the imp to a leave in conditioner or something. For a perfume, though, it's just too light for me.

Wet: Spicy carnation. Dry: This is still just spicy carnation. I think it's nice, just not what I was hoping for. Luckily, I won't need to try and hunt down a bottle.

Yum! This is mostly red musk and pomegranate. The throw on this can be overwhelming, so keep in mind that a little goes a long way. I think this is a little heavy for summer, but I’m going to really love using this in fall and winter.

Wet: Peach wine, and amber. Really nice. Dry: Darn, this has significantly faded, and the amber has made this a bit powdery smelling now. There's still some sweetness, but the wet stage was so much nicer than the drydown.

Wet: Sweet, and aquatic. A tiny bit floral. Dry: Almost exactly the same as the wet stage! Very light, sweet, aquatic floral.. that manages to not turn soapy on my skin. I think it's nice, but not something I'm really drawn to wearing.

Wet: A vague bit of sweetness, but I can't smell much else. It's incredibly light. Dry: Very light... sweet tarts? The dry-down of this is similar to the LE "Like Father, Like Daughter" on me. (I actually think I prefer that, though.) I like it, but this is one I'd need to slather! I'll enjoy my imp, but I don't think I'll go for a bottle.

Wet: HOLY CRAP that is some THROW. Juicy, bright, and bitter. And throw. Lots, and lots of throw. Like, it's in my mouth and choking me. Dry: Well, this is the first scent I didn't wait for the dry-down on and had to wash off almost immediately. I'm a bit disappointed, because I'm a big fan of cherry blossom scents(and tea!), and was excited to try this one. If you're looking for a scent strong enough to knock you on your ass, give this one a go. I need to go buy some coffee beans to sniff(or maybe snort) now or something, because I think this scent lodged into my sinus cavities.

Wet: Cake, cake, and more cake! The frosting is present as well. Dry: Still cake and frosting, but with some depth that wasn't there on the wet stage. It might be the Snake Oil peeking in, but it's not full-blown. It's a really yummy scent. Almost... uh... sexy cake, maybe?

Yum! This is a very tart key lime pie. Wet, you can smell both a good amount of the key lime, and the pie crust. As it dries, you're left with more pie crust than lime, but there's still a good amount of lime to keep this from being a heavy foodie scent. I'm a total foodie lover, and was looking for a "bright" foodie hair gloss for summer; this is perfect!

Wet: This is going to be a weird description, but... warm, clean, and sweet. No individual notes are really standing out except for the amber. Dry: Red currants with amber and honey. It's actually not very sweet, it's more "warm" than anything. I think this would be rather nice for bed time! I look forward to how this one will age.

Wet: Candied pear! Yis yis yis. Dry: Strawberry and pear hard candy. The throw is weak on this, but for me, it's so yummy it's worth slathering.

Wet: Deepened, darkened dragon's blood; dragon's blood and myrrh, with a tiny bit of clove. Dry: Very, very similar to the wet stage. I think whatever cherry was in this, my skin ate up. I'd say the clove is popping out just a bit more than the wet stage, but otherwise, it's all the same. It's like a deep, smokey dragon's blood. I enjoy dragon's blood scents, but this one has left me a little "meh"; though that's not the blend's fault, I'm just not the biggest fan of clove.

Wet: Wet flowers. It's more like the leaves of the flowers than the flowers themselves, if that makes sense. Dry: Ah, as I expected... soapy flowers and leaves. I like some aquatic scents, but aquatic + flowers generally mean death on my skin.

Wet: Juicy pear. Dry: Still juicy pear, but some vanilla is finally joining the party. The honey note isn't really registering on my skin, or at least, it may just be blended in with the vanilla cream. Pear is one of my FAVORITE notes, and this blend definitely does it justice.

Wet: Honey and cookies! No tea, yet. Dry: Ah, there's some tea! This is more cookies and honey on my skin, with the tea in the background. I dig this one. Yum!
