Photographs, videos they don't do justice to the love that I feel for my girl. The quiet of this moment was special. We weren't speaking; it was just a dad and his daughter together, enjoying the fleeting time of youth, and all was right in the world. I hope she remembers these special times when she looks back on her childhood. I know that I will never forget them. Dorian, Lilith's lavender, snowdrops, and soft vanilla. Omg. Gorgeous lavender-vanilla with a sprinkling of Dorian. Im not a huge fan of lavender; I only seem to like it when its mixed with vanilla to kind of tone it down. While the lavender is the star of the show here, its a toned down and non-herbal lavender-vanilla. Winner!

[No additional description provided.] Disclaimer - This scent has, by far, caused the most confusion to my nose out of any other scent I've ever smelled. Wet: For the most part, it smells like neroli to me. There's also some kind of metallic tinge going on, though. Maybe a little clean smelling as well. Herbal too? Dry: The scent has faded quite a bit upon drydown. It now smells like all of the above, plus maybe something floral in the mix. (Not a strong floral scent, very light.) A little sweeter than the wet stage, too. Thanks, nose! It's not a bad scent to me, it's just... an experience. I feel like my nose went on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Blueberry-filled sufganiyot, blooping blue with jelly. GUYS. Guys. Not to sound (too) dramatic, but I've been DYING for a blueberry sufganiyot scent. I am beyond excited to get my hands on this and try it out. Wet: Very rich blueberries! Like a rich blueberry jelly or jam. There's a slight hint of a pastry note, but the blueberry jelly is pretty strong. Dry: I'm trying to think of a word that's better than "delicious" but I'm coming up short. This is an incredible, rich, blueberry jelly donut scent. While the blueberry jelly scent is still stronger than the pastry note, it's much more prevalent when the scent dries down. I had stupidly high expectations for this scent, and I'm not disappointed at all. I may need a backup bottle, which is rare for me. I've just been JAMMED. (... at Jamm Orthodontics.)

Wet: Light, fluffy lavender. Dry: Lavender with some thick honey. I think I might use this as a sleep scent!
-
Wet: Vanilla snow and patchouli. Dry: Not getting much of a Snake Oil vibe. This is like a cold vanilla musk with some patchouli thrown in. It's not what I expected, but I like it enough to keep my decant.

Wet: Ooooo PEAR. This definitely smells like pear filling you'd find on the inside of some type of pie, tart, or whatever baked good here. Dry: Pear and honey. Not too sweet, just a well balanced pear and honey scent!
-
Wet: Strong lavender, with a tiny bit of coconut. Dry: Lavender is far less potent now, and I can smell more of that coconut cream. As someone who isn't a big coconut fan, this is surprisingly nice!

Deep Fried Blueberry Cheesecake

Wet: Have mercy. Globs of blueberry, sugar, and some type of crust. Dry: While this smells like some type of blueberry baked goods scent, it's not necessarily reading as "cheesecake" to me. However, it IS a delicious blueberry scent that I'm going to hoard my imp of. -
Wet: Okay, DEFINITELY getting donuts. Specifically, donuts with chocolate frosting. YUM. Dry: Old fashioned donut with chocolate frosting, that someone accidentally spilled a little maple frosting on. Very into this. Also craving donuts now.
-
Wet: CHERRY. This reminds me of a Luden's cough drop and cherry kool aid. (To me, that's a good thing!) Dry: Not as punchy of a cherry anymore, but it's still a fairly sweet cherry scent on me. A little bit of musk. A whole lot of yum.

Sugary vanilla tea. Rather light in my hair, so I need to touch up with extra sprays!
-
Wet: This is like a sweet musky vanilla cloud, with a hint of rose. Dry: GAHHHHH. Rose is tricky on my skin, and unfortunately it's turned this into a cloud of vanilla baby powder. Rose, be my friend.
-
Wet: Oooo, the bourbon vanilla skin musk smells DELICIOUS. Dry: The addition of sugar to this version of DIFE makes this smell better on me than the previous one; it's sugary vanilla skin musk with a little bit of bourbon. Really good.
-
Wet: Really faint.. dryer sheets. Dry: All dryer sheets, all the time.

OG Drag on a Slime is one of the only scents I've bought a backup bottle of - I have VERY high expectations of this version! Wet: Bubblegum and lime! STRONG! Dry: Less bubblegum, but I'm still getting that zesty lime and a little bit of mango now. This is nice, but I much prefer the previous version! I'm still going to hold on to my decant, though.
-
Wet: Sweet soil and incense. Dry: Hauntingly sweet soil, with incense and leather. It's nice but not really my thing, though I prefer this over the previous version!
-
I really like the previous version of LFYL so I have high expectations! Wet: Honey and cardamom, with a bit of whiskey. Yum! Dry: A little bit disappointed, getting plastic and honey now. Boooo. I'll stick to the original!
-
Wet: Lots of musk and seafoam with a little orchid! Sweet aquatic. Dry: Orchid has vacated the premises, but I'm getting more of the bergamot. That, combined with the musk and seafoam, make this a really nice aquatic blend that steps just a toe into the "laundry" smell. I think I like this more than the previous version!
-
Wet: Leather, patchouli, and a hint of the bittersweet cocoa. The oudh is making an appearance but is behaving.. for now! Dry: Dark and leathery(as a bonus, no oudh! - we do not get along), but also with some musky sweetness. Surprisingly wearable for my personal tastes, though I think I'd enjoy this more on my husband.

These long-dead scents are back for a limited time in a slightly tweaked form! As light and innocent as your first time should have been. The fresh scent of lotus hidden behind lightly scented flowers, amber, and citrus. (Side note: can't remember what the original version smells like, so I can't do a comparison.) Wet: First hit with LOTS of amber! It's a very fresh, "green" amber, as odd as that may sound. Pretty strong throw, I almost knocked myself out sniffing my wrist! Dry: Very, very similar to the wet stage. Still a fresh, "green" amber scent. There's a light floral background note, but it's not strong enough for me to figure out. Kind of reminds me of a lily, but don't take my word on that! Not getting any citrus, unfortunately. The throw has calmed down to what I would call average. I'm glad I tried this out, but I won't need to upgrade to a big bottle.

Wet: Creamy citrus. It sounds simple, but I keep going back and huffing my wrist. Dry: Creamy citrus and chamomile. Me gusta.
-
Wet: Spicy rose and labdanum. Dry: Rose. Rose rose rose rose rose. ... Rose.

Wet: A cloud of earl grey tea. Dry: Earl grey with a touch of sweetness - who knows from either honey/cream/marshmallow. An earl grey hug. Light, comforting earl grey tea scent.
