Wet: Not what I expected! This is sparkling cider, and wisteria. I'm not smelling any cake. Dry: Pretty similar to the wet stage, just a bit lighter. I'm pretty disappointed that the cake didn't make an appearance. It's a nice scent, just not for me. If you enjoy florals and champagne scents, you'd probably enjoy this!
-
Wet: Ooooooo! Pomegranate candy. Dry: There's an almost powdered quality coming out, and it reminds me of.. Sweet Tarts. This smell like Sweet Tarts now. Not a lot of throw on this scent, it's one you have to get reeeeal close to in order to smell it.
-
Wet: Champagne, just poured and still fizzing. Dry: The fizz has disappeared, but the strawberry has come out. Strawberry champagne. A nice, fun scent, but not one that I'm in love with. If you're into champagne scents, definitely try this!
-
Wet: There's a lot going on here, and it's hard to pick out certain notes. A mix of... herbal, floral, and spice. Dry: My skin has mostly eaten this. There's something warm and floral going on, but no particular note is standing out. Decent, just not for me.
-
Wet: Creamy vanilla and... root beer? Dry: Very similar to the wet stage. I'm not sure how I'm still getting root beer, it's boggling my mind a bit. I bought this mostly for layering purposes, so I'll have to do some mixing and see if the root beer scent still comes out!
-
Wet: Mostly lime, with a liiiiittle bit of tobacco. Dry: A warm, boozed up lime. The lime is definitely not as prominent as it was in the wet stage, but it's still noticeable. I was hoping for the sugar cookies to make more of an appearance, but this is still a lovely scent that stays close to the skin.
-
Wet: This is a delicate floral scent. Very soft, "clean", and inoffensive to someone who doesn't typically like florals. Dry: Pretty much exactly the same as the wet stage. This didn't turn into baby powder or soap on my skin, so I consider that a win! I bought this mostly for layering purposes, and I think it'll be lovely for that.
-
Wet: Chocolate! Not white, though; it smells like milk chocolate to me. No pear yet. Dry: THERE is the white chocolate! A light white chocolate with a bit of juicyness in the background; it's not really translating to pear on my skin, but it's still nice.
-
Wet: Berry pancakes! Yum. Not getting any pumpkin yet. The berries almost have a lightly floral tone to them, but not in an overwhelming way. Dry: The berry scent has faded a bit, this is mostly just pancakes now. There's some warmth to this that wasn't present during the wet stage, which I think is the pumpkin peeking it's way through. I look forward to how this ages, and hopefully the pumpkin comes out a bit more!
-
Wet: Apples and STRONG cinnamon. Dry: This stays very similar to the wet stage. Strong cinnamon, and apples. Where's the strawberry cream? The scent is very nice, but I was really hoping for some strawberry thrown into the mix. Be cautious if you have any issues with skin sensitivity; my skin turned quite red where I applied this oil. A nice foodie scent, but not what I was expecting.
-
Wet: Not getting much of a raspberry ice cream scent. This is.. sweet plastic? Must be the "lip gloss". Not a fan so far. Dry: This is still not awesome on me. Do you remember those plastic dolls back in the 90's that would be scented with fruit? This reminds me of that. Sweet, plastic raspberries. I'm hoping that with some aging this bottle will morph into something better, but right now it's not a winner.
-
Wet: Some kind of sweet floral and... baby powder. I'm going to blame that on the rose. Dry: Yep. Powdered florals. That's about right for my skin. If florals play nice on your skin, you would most likely enjoy this. It's very "fresh" smelling, and it's not soapy at all.
-
Wet: Gingerbread cookie.. with a hint of orange, maybe? Not as strong of a ginger scent as Gingerbread Poppet, but still a prominent ginger note to my nose. Dry: A delicate, sweet ginger. This doesn't have such a baked goods vibe anymore, but it's still nice and "warm" smelling.

2010 version. Wet: Spiced vanilla honey. Smooth, and a little musky as well. Amazing. Dry: Smells very similar to the wet stage. The honey is playing nice, and didn't turn to baby powder on me. Stunning, and it's only gotten better with age. I HIGHLY recommend picking up a bottle of this if you're a fan of Snake Oil. It's so, so good.

Wet: Juicy, green, and fruity. Nice! Dry: The scent has faded quite a bit. This is mostly just bamboo now, with a hint of florals. Too bad, the wet stage was SO nice.
-
Wet: Mmmmm, candied pumpkin. There's a lot of warmth to this. Dry: A little bit of the citrus has come out. A warm, sugary, citrus-infused pumpkin is the best way I can describe this. I want to wrap myself in a blanket of this come fall and winter.
-
Wet: Strong booze and fruit.Exactly what the name of the blend is; this smells like spiked fruit punch. Dry: Surprisingly similar to the wet stage! The scent isn't as strong, but it's still a boozy fruit punch. Glad to have a bottle!
-
Wet: WHOA. Eucalyptus. Very strong eucalyptus. I think this just cleared my sinuses. Dry: A faint citrus-eucalyptus. The pine isn't detectable(thankfully), but eucalyptus isn't a scent I'm fond of.
-
Wet: Lemon-scented... dryer sheets? With something fizzy in the background. Dry: My skin ate most of the scent; what remains is a very light lemon effervescence. It's nice, but I wish it had a greater throw.
-
Wet: Very light honey, which I'm assuming is the honey musk coming through. A tiny bit of tea is in the background, but this is mostly honey on my skin. It's very pleasant. Dry: My skin has almost completely eaten this scent. It's now a very faint honey, with a little more sweetness than the wet stage. I'm guessing that's the vanilla bean? It's nice, but I have to press my nose against my wrist to smell it, because there's no throw. Darn.
-
Wet: A sharp, in your face, woodsy scent. There is nothing subtle about this blend. Dry: A very "green" dragon's blood. Not as intense as the wet stage, but still not a scent for me.
-
Wet: Helllllllo, sweet patchouli! Dry: The vanilla has come out to play. This is a creamy, vanilla-based patchouli scent. Lovely. 4/5

Wet: Fizzy and citrusy! I'm not sure if it's lemon or orange; I can smell carbonation more than anything. Dry: Same as wet! This will be a great refreshing scent for summer. 4/5 -
Wet: Cocoa powder! Dry: Cocoa powder! This scent is lighter than the initial application, but it still smells exactly the same. If you're looking for a nice milk chocolate scent, I would highly suggest checking this out! It's awesome, I'm just not sure if I want to smell like this. 3/5

Sun-warmed squashes, peppers, salad greens, snap peas, radishes, green onions, and silphium. Wet: This smells like a... perfumed vegetable garden. Very, very green. Dry: My skin ate this one up, for sure; this is very light on me. This smells like being outside on a bright sunny day in a vegetable garden. I feel like if you were outside tending your vegetable garden all day then came back inside, this scent is how you would smell. This is an interesting, evocative scent... but it's not for me. 2/5
